Oscar Nominations!
Johnny C:
Yeah, in all the dump categories. I kind of figured No Country would get one of the sound awards, though.
TheFuriousWombat:
I was positive No Country would win the sound awards. Sound editing at the very least. It was incredibly well done. TBU had lots of people getting punched and some good car crashes and, to be honest, the sound was rather well done as was, admittedly, the general editing. It's kinda hard to deny that it was a worthy contender for all the awards it won. Still, the sound in No Country was pretty phenomenal and often a lot more subtle in its art than the Bourne style car wrecks.
Was anyone else annoyed to no end by Juno's win for screenplay? I gotta admit this was a fairly weak line-up this year but I thought Michael Clayton and, more so the wonderfully funny and charming Ratatouille were far better scripts. I didn't see the other two movies so I can't comment but as far as I can tell at least two of the five were a lot more interesting than the fairly cliched, quirky teen indie flick dialog of Juno.
bryanthelion:
I liked Juno...
And I dont see how Tilda Swinton won over Cate Blanchett. I saw Michael Clayton and I wasn't impressed with her acting in it.

That is what you are smoking if you think that Cate Blanchett is in the same league as Tilda Swinton.

You know, I donis 't know much about Tilda Swinton and I didn't see Michael Clayton, but I have a hard time believing that anyone can outshine Cate Blanchett as much as you say. She is one of the most briliant actresses working today, or ever, no doubt. I saw her in Hedda Gabler about two years ago and she just blew me away.
Anyway, it's a shame that No Country For Old Men beat There Will Be Blood. I saw both this past weekend, and I have to say, I was not too impressed with NCFOM. It was fine, but I don't really get why it's so brilliant. TWBB, however, is a masterpiece.

I haven't seen The Golden Age and I heard she and it sucked, but have you seen Elizabeth? I don't understand how anyone can think that performance is just her standing there in wardrobe. It is one of the most amazing pieces of acting captured on film.
