Scott Caan's Big Night LD

[INDYjon22]

Portman wins, KKBB reference, and Steve Buscemi. Good night so far.

Tim Allen needs to make another Christmas movie.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

I didn't get a chance to see this movie, but I was pulling for RED.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Excellent choice. Firth was brilliant in The King's Speech.

 

[INDYjon22]

I would have been happy to see RED win. Colin Firth did an alright job, but it would have been nice to see Ryan Gosling, Jesse Eisenberg, or James Franco win.

Was Franco's performance really that good? I'm asking because haven't seen 127 Hours yet.

 

[INDYjon22]

Hopefully Black Swan wins Best Picture. After seeing all five nominees, it was the best film, followed by The Social Network.

 

[INDYjon22]

Honestly, I have yet to see it. It hasn't been released here but I am a big Franco fan and I have heard only good things. Hopefully by Oscar time it will be here.

 

[INDYjon22]

Wow.....I am a little stunned by Social Network winning. Not complaining but Black Swan was superior.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

No,no,no!

Ugh, I wanted to see Black Swan with this. Social Network was one hell of a film, but Black Swan was mind blowing.

 

[INDYjon22]

No,no,no!

Ugh, I wanted to see Black Swan with this. Social Network was one hell of a film, but Black Swan was mind blowing.

Pretty much, but I can't complain that much. Social Network winning makes me happy. Black Swan was brilliant and if it doesn't win the Oscar then I will be pissed, but I can live with Social Network winning tonight.

I hate the way the awards season goes. Anything released in the earlier part of the year (Inception) is forgotten completely by the end of the year other than a token nomination.

 

[Coco]

I thought we were over pretending Inception is the greatest thing we've ever seen.

Also, someone is surprised Social Network won?! LOL.

I love almost anything Fincher touches, but Swan takes you an emotional roller coaster. Let's hope Swan can take home the big one at the Oscars.

Fincher is a tremendous filmmaker. He has done some really great films and The Social Network is at the top of them for sure. I kind of feel like the Academy and the Oscars don't like Darren Aronofsky though, he seems to get the shaft at a lot of the major motion picture events. Could be wrong though.

Now that is funny....was a great film but not the greatest ever I agree.

Fight Club will always be my favorite Fincher film, but The Social Network was outstanding.

As far as Aronosky goes, I do think The Wrestler could've been a strong contender for best film. Slumdog Millionaire had a feel good story, but I don't think this film was that good. Although, The Wrestler wasn't nominated, so this film never got a chance

 

[Coco]

The Wrestler wasn't the movie of the year in 2008, so I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.

 

[Dean Winchester]

Nah, Dave. The laughter when Amy Adams got announced as a nominee.

Why is that funny?
