Go Avatar!

[DarkMaster]

Up is nominated for best feature film and animated film?

And the Blind Side? Really? Film was painful to sit through.

[Teuthida]

Go District 9 and first 10 minutes of Up!

[Swan]

Anything but Avatar!

[Angrist]

I think it's terribly biased that they put Avatar at the top of those lists. Talking about overconfidence.

Anyway, I'm finally going to watch Avatar tonight. We'll see, I'm not getting my hopes up.

[Teuthida]

Shouldn't Avatar be under Animated Feature Film? Doubt I'll ever see this movie.

Have to check out The Secret of Kells. Hasn't been released in America yet.

[Zen]

Er....they are organized alphabetically...so...yeah....

[Swan]

Isn't it a sure thing that Up will win best animated if it is nominated for Best Picture?

[Acebot44]

This is how I think it'll pan out after 2 1/3 minutes of deliberation and having not seen 87% of the films nominated

Anyway, now that I've seen Avatar, I think it deserves some oscars.

And Danny, if you don't expect much from it, it will be a very enjoyable movie. Worth your €10 I'd say.

[Professor S]

I find it odd that the film industry is drastically altering their awards so more people will watch on TV.

Either a movie is the best movie of the year, or it isn't, ratings and box office should have nothing to do with it. That said, I think this is probably a bait and switch and The Hurt Locker will win best picture.

Just realized there are no nominations for The Road, not even for Viggo's acting, which was so damn good. Fuckin Weinstein's screwed it up, again.
