Oscar Nominations

<< < (4/7) > >>

KvP:
If I were to venture a guess I'd say The Dark Knight and Wall-E. Though to be fair, by Pixar's standards Wall-E's commercial success was pretty modest, not that it matters.

TheFuriousWombat:
Seriously, what's up with all the love for The Reader? I guess Nazi pedophilia is in.
Honestly though, it's very much like any other "I lived through/was involved in the Holocaust and now have demons" movie, of which there are dozens.

Liz:
Yeah but it has Kate Winslet.

I would go gay for Kate Winslet.

Naira:
I was pleasantly surprised by the Heath Ledger nomination...do they give Oscars posthumously? Well, good if they do.

I've been a long time fan of the Batman comics. The most current incarnations of the Joker have scared the living hell out of me and while I was skeptical about Ledger before, I'm glad that someone has finally gotten it right.

I am also looking forward to seeing Slumdog Millionaire. I'm not an expert on Indian movies or Bollywood, but I love Dheepa Mehta (director of "Fire", "Water", and "Earth"). Don't watch "Water" unless you have a box of tissues handy.

My scholarly interests are in Indian culture and Sanskrit, so movies are a fun way for me to "study".

Dazed:
They do give posthumous Oscars, and The Reader is an ok movie, but it's just ok. Certainly not worthy of the nomination.
