You folks seen any of the nominated movies?? I've seen the Help and Bridesmaids.

[Doyle]

Nick Nolte should win for Warrior. Best performance by anyone this year in my opinion.

[CRA]

looking at Best Picture.......it is clear this was a weak year.

[Mrs Pantherfan]

I have seen not one of those movies

[Doyle]

I have seen not one of those movies

I've seen 3 1/2. Couldn't get through The Tree of Life.

[Guest]

I've seen Bridesmaids. I want to see The Decendants.

[davos]

Extremely Lousy and too Close & War Horse should NOT be in the BP

I can't believe Drive, Dragon Tattoo, and Tinker Tailor were jipped there. Its definitely the Spielberg/Hanks pull.

The Globes were probably pretty close. It'll come down to "The Descendants" and "The Artist"

[davos]

btw Midnight in Paris & the Descendents were my personal favs this year and I hope Gary Oldman finally gets a damn Oscar. Long long long long overdue

[Sapper]

Yea I am pretty surprised Drive wasn't nominated and Extremely Loud was

[Gazi]

I see Nolte, Clooney and Allen winning comfortably. Everything else is weak.

I didn't think Money Ball was all that great. I got kind of bored half way through. Andy Serkis was robbed for Planet of the Apes. I thought that was one of the best movies of the year and a big part of that was how invested you got in Caesars life.

[4Corners]

I haven't seen ANY of these movies and haven't heard of a lot of them.

respect to Meryl Streep though this is like the 20th time she's been nominated for an AA.

I do want to see this move, though.

But anytime man-baby Jonah Hill is nominated for an Oscar, you know it's a sh1tty line up.

^^

agree. standing there looking goofy and fat is now Oscar worthy?
