The 82nd Annual Academy Awards - discussion thread

[Kira's Mom]

So... we've thrown the time-limit thing out the window then, eh? Academy?

They do it every year...

Avatar was more of a crowd-pleaser and had the best FX ever but District 9 had a better story and a better movie.

I was quite impressed with how they blended the FX into the real world in D9, especially for the budget.

Agreed.

That FX looked like it cost a lot more than the $30 million dollar budget. The scenary was great.

Agreed. D-9 had some of the most photorealistic CGI I've seen in a movie. I was astounded by the innovation they showed on such a relatively small budget.

I'm glad we see eye-to-eye on some things.

Yep Avatar had a shit ton of money and a decade's worth of time thrown at it, and it's CG characters couldn't even approach District 9's.

The only film I've ever seen her in was Excalibur. God, she was smoking hot back in the day.

(George Carlin) There is no gentile way of announcing... you have to take a dump. Just don't explain it.

Trekker4747 It set off the smoke alarms

(George Carlin) NEVERMIND!

 

[Nick Ryder]

Oh shut up Oprah... I'm gonna listen to some Guns and Roses for a minute. Sweet Child of Mine is enough to drown her out.

Carey Mulligan is just so darned adorable. She'll get other Oscar chances.
