Academy Awards-which film should win?, for Best Picture? Options

[goth-nina]

Here are the nominees:

-Slumdog Millionaire
-Frost/Nixon
-The Reader
-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
-Milk


I saw every movie online & in theaters, & my vote will go to Slumdog. Yes, they really deserve it. Not out of pity, the screenplay was just incredible. I'd be devastated if it was based on a true story.

I saw Benjamin Button, it was nice, but not Oscar worthy. Milk made me cry, Sean Penn is just talented. Frost/Nixon was pretty awesome too, i enjoyed it. & The Reader was excellent, but i don't know why everyone's making such a huge deal of Winslet's performance . The story & plot was beautiful, but her acting isn't what they all awarding. She was AMAZING in Titanic though . OH! I also saw Doubt, which i was suprised it wasn't nominated in this catergory. All these movies were very good, but Slumdog deserves it.

what a terribly uninteresting list... 2008 was not a good year for the academy.
in either case, i'll only be happy as long as slumdog millionaire does not win. milk winning would, at least, be a gesture of repentance for the homophobic bullshit that went down with crash vs. brokeback. the academy is a piece of shit commercial & conservative machine anyways.



p.s. that let the right one in isn't even nominated for best foreign feature is such a sadness.
p.p.s. hopefully man on wire will win best documentary feature.
p.p.p.s. hopefully the dark knight will win nothing. god, what a trash bag. if they have to win anything, just give the dead man the award and let's get over it, f*ck.

you know your not as unique as you think you are.

actually your image fits your opinion very well. your like a generic avatar for the vast army of "beatnicks" who think its cool to hate anything mainstream.

hey it may not be true.....but you're doing a damn good interpretation of it. and you've been doing so....for YEARS.

thank you for your fresh & alternative angle, yawn.

i like plenty of things that tons of other people like - things that are "mainstream" & popular (gossip girl, pineapple express, the violent femmes, etc.). further, & most importantly, i like things that i like & i don't like things that i don't like. it's true that i'm highly critical, however... i am not superficial. i don't dislike anything merely because it is popular (i may have my doubts or suspicions, but i must always see something for myself). i like or dislike things based on that thing's own specific merits, my articulation of my taste is usually characteristic of this (i.e. full of detail & example).

the mainstream is popular for a reason... usually, it is designed to be thoughtless, digestible, deceivingly clever, cliche, & non-subversive. i like my art subversive, thoughtful, indigestible, witless, etc. my tastes are often in opposition with what makes mainstream entertainment enjoyable to the masses... this is simply a matter of my personal sentiment & character.

hey it may not be true.....but you're doing a damn good interpretation of it. and you've been doing so....for YEARS.

even in your quote i hail two tremendously popular films (man on wire & let the right one in). just because i lampoon two others (slumdog millionaire & the dark knight) you seem to take issue. but, it's sort of contrary: you're just cherry picking. or, worse, you're just reacting because you enjoyed those particular films...?

in either case, my feelings are genuine. i don't mean to look "cool" by not liking movies. if that were my intent don't you think i would go somewhere where people thought it looks "cool" to not like the dark knight? you know, as opposed to a place that characterizes america's ass sucking (as per usual)?
