@WSH -- you can get Beverly Hills Chihuahua at that trendy Korean Fusion place over in the food pod.

They ignored Scott Pilgrim?! *head 'splodes*

They ignored Scott Pilgrim as much as movie-goers did.

1) Fuck the Oscars.
2) True Grit was awesome and should win everything.
3) I suppose I have to see the stupid Social Network.
4) I made it about forty minutes into Scott Pilgrim before giving up.
5) Exit Through the Gift Shop's first half was great. Not so much the second half, but the mindfuck alone makes up for the ham-handedness (OR WAS IT? See? Fuck. Did they- was it?)
6) I don't think I saw anything else that was nominated, so: ANY award that doesn't go to True Grit shall be awarded to Machete.

Elle Fanning deserved a best actress nod. She was very, very good in SOMEWHERE.

@Steve - How DARE you say Black Swan was 'goofy?'

@Colin - How DARE you walk out on Scott Pilgrim?

HOW DARE YOU ALL?

I'm w/ @Alison on this, where was the nomination for Elle Fanning. Another gripe about Somewhere being dissed, no nomination for cinematography for Harris Savides?

Black Swan was hilarious.

I was disappointed with the Best Original Score category, despite being someone who says that he doesn't care about Oscars. Apparently the scores for both Black Swan and True Grit didn't get nominated because they were both based on pre-existing pieces of music. Black Swan had tons of Swan Lake (that was sort of necessary, don't you think?) and True Grit's score was based on the hymn that plays in the end. It's terrible, because the music in both of those films was better than most of the audiophonic wallpaper that plays in the background of movies.

And it's fucking criminal that Daft Punk didn't get nominated.

Second @Reymont. Everyone on the internet is wrong but me. Just wait til I have my own awards show...

@Reymont HEY!!! I didn't call Black Swan "goofy"β€”Erik did! I'm the so-called "Toy Story 3 hater." Get it straight!

(P.S. I think Black Swan was FUCKING FANTASTIC, and should win "Best Film" AND "Best Animated Film." Fuck YOU, Toy Story 3!)

AR Rahman will get oscar for orginal song for 127 hours for sure.

His music is haunting & soulful.

True Grit is over-rated. It's a fine western, but nothing special for the genre. It's clearly a step down from the Coens' better films. Despite Marky Mark not being the actor Hollywood wants him to be, The Fighter is much better than you give it credit for.

Please wait...
