If only the Academy pulled off a shocker like this on Sunday I would be much too pleased. Very happy to see it was between Franco and Eisenberg.

Firth should have won last year.

My only qualms so far are Chloe Moretz and Dragon Tattoo but I will assume not enough people saw A Prophet or Dogtooth. Like most of the winners though.

I have class on Thursday and don't get home until around 830PM eastern time. If the awards start at that time or later I can make it. Also it would be nice if we can have them on some chat program as opposed to refreshing a thread all the time....

I thought Rapace was decent, I saw the first two films and not the third. However I don't think her work should be in the top five or even ten leading actress performances of the year. And Buscemi, I did not vote for Emma but now that I think about it I should have. Her performance in Easy A was gre...

Hmm I am pretty pleased with the nominees overall. I especially like J Moore, Steinfeld, Stone along with the foreign films and original screenplay nominees. I thought I was the only one here that saw Another Year. Only qualms of mine are Wahlberg and Rapace. Also like that Hershey got in. And yes A...

We should do best doc as well since there were a number of solid docs this year.

We should definitely vote on

Score, editing, cinematography, visual effects

And if yall really want to be serious sound mixing, sound editing, art direction, costumes.

Ideally we would vote on everything the Academy does minus the short films.

I am in although I wish we could also vote for some technical awards as well.

We need to do the awards.

Buscemi, Desplat's work on Ghost Writer is leagues better than King's Speech.

Are we having another Reel Society awards?

Can't fathom why Inside Job was $3. That was an obvious PTA king.

Slumdog is a better film than 127 Hours in my estimation.

As for as Kids Are All Right. I also liked Moore better but they are both excellent and worthy of awards recognition, and both in the LEAD category as well.

127 Hours 4/5

Boyle's style holds it back from the experience it ideally should feel like. Franco and of course the source material are able to overcome some poor stylistic decisions and make for an inspiring cinematic experience.

Unstoppable 3.5/5 One of Tony Scott's better projects in a while, certainly an improvement over Pelham and Domino and I have not seen Deja Vu. I really like Denzel here, he seems natural and at home in this role. The editing is fluid as we are dealing with many difference characters in different loc...
