Author Topic: 79th Academy Award Nominees List Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-24-2007 01:37 AM                        quote: Joe Redifer You seem to think that I god damn well OUGHT to know what those movies are, or else I am less of a human being or something. No, I am just suprised that somebody who frequents a film-related site seems to have such disdain for movies (and theaters) in general. You're right, I have never heard of Gears of War but I'm also not hangin' around any gaming forums. By the way: Although I've heard of all of them, I haven't actually seen any of the 5 Best Picture nominees, so maybe we're more alike than it appears. (I also have Centipede on my office computer.)  |  IP: Logged Brian D.

Im currently running Notes on a Scandal and Volver and getting Venus this friday.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-24-2007 04:13 AM                        This is a film oriented site? I thought it was more of a technical site. Then again I rarely wander outside of Yak or sometimes Afterlife since those are the only interesting forums to me. As for disdain for theaters, they've earned it. There's nothing special about them anymore.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

They were not even nominated!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-24-2007 12:19 PM                        quote: Mark J. Marshall When did the "Best Director" Oscar become "Achievement In Directing"? I think that's always been the official name. (or at least for quite a while) It just gets shortened by the media.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 01-24-2007 02:56 PM                     What's worse? The nominations themselves, or the fact that they aren't at all surprising?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-24-2007 03:47 PM                     I think it's the fact that none of these nominations will make the cinemas much money...those days seem to be gone. Can anyone say 'Dances With Wolves'? Instant box office gold when it was nominated.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-24-2007 05:54 PM                  I think Jonathan said it best about the last 15 or so years of the Academy Awards...  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-24-2007 08:48 PM                     Chevy Chase had the best intro when he hosted...

Can anyone say 'Dances With Wolves'? Instant box office gold when it was nominated." These days it's all about selling more DVDs (HDDVD, Blu-Ray, whatever). Last minute releases - Iwo Jima anyone? - will get some BO boost as well.  |  IP: Logged Edwin Sheldon Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Mobile, AL, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 01-26-2007 12:21 AM                     quote: Performance by an actor in a supporting role Mark Wahlberg - THE DEPARTED This, and the fact that Borat got a nomination for best adapted screenplay when 80% of the movie was unscripted proves that The Academy is full of complete morons.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-26-2007 11:37 PM                  I think Mark Walberg has grown into a great actor. I'm glad he got over himself and all his legal and lifestyle "problems". I thought he did a great job in: "The Departed" "The Italian Job" ...AND my favorite: "Boogie Nights" I agree about that POS "Borat"... WTF? It just once again points out that the Academy is on that I-30 stuff and sniffing each others' butts.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-27-2007 12:12 AM                     Thankfully it looks like we wont be seeing anymore Borat ever again. And maybe not even his gay designer character either.  |  IP: Logged
