The English Major		2012-02-26 11:34:08 PM

JerseyTim: KatjaMouse: The English Major: Why all the Meryl Streep hate?

I'll be honest. I didn't get all the Streep hype until I saw Angels in America. Now I'm in the cult too.

Ever see Sophie's Choice? I mean.. sheesh.

Yeah, that's a...that's a hell of a film. Though now I'm reminded of Modern Family, when Cam talks about his love for Streep.

Tom Cruise should get a Lifetime Achievement Award for pretending to be a heterosexual.

Hugo or Artist but Moneyball could be the troll pick

Mistymtnhop		2012-02-26 11:34:19 PM

I say The Artist will win.

skinink		2012-02-26 11:34:20 PM

Three Paris movies nominated. Weird.

TheManofPA		2012-02-26 11:34:27 PM

So, the 9/11 movie is winning right (will they even show clips from it or pretend it wasn't nominated)

KatjaMouse		2012-02-26 11:34:34 PM

Hugo! Hugo! Hugo!

/I know it'll be the Artist though...

brigid_fitch		2012-02-26 11:34:54 PM

ElizaDoolittle: There goes my pool. WFT even watched that film?

was it even out in 2011? I didn't see commercials for it until January.

Uranus Megahertz		2012-02-26 11:35:01 PM

Hope it's The Help

TheManofPA		2012-02-26 11:35:28 PM

The Artist for the win just so it can be the first "silent" film in years to win (even though it is not 100 percent silent)

bobbette: The English Major: I guess I don't hate her because I haven't seen Mamma Mia.

I loved her in Mamma Mia. It's a fluffy, fun ABBA musical. Don't expect more than that, and you'll like it too.

Me too. It was a charming musical. And it starred a lot of great actors. It wasn't Oscar-worthy, though.

skinink: Three Paris movies nominated. Weird.

Hugo and Midnight in Paris are only two. There is no third. The Artist takes place in Los Angeles and was filmed there.

kanesays		2012-02-26 11:35:38 PM

DamnYankees: By the way, I genuinely think Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol should have been nominated for Best Picture.

Didn't see it. But the best film I saw this year was Drive.

The English Major		2012-02-26 11:35:39 PM

eddievercetti: Hugo or Artist but Moneyball could be the troll pick

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close would be the Troll Pick. That book was awful, and from what I've seen of the movie it was too.

jocutus		2012-02-26 11:35:44 PM

Is anyone rooting for War Horse? the horse that leaves a trail of dead in his wake?

singdizzy		2012-02-26 11:35:59 PM

Surprise!

badhatharry		2012-02-26 11:36:00 PM

Tom Cruise looks different.

bobbette		2012-02-26 11:36:03 PM

I'm secretly rooting for Moneyball. I don't even know why.

dumbandilikeit		2012-02-26 11:36:07 PM

Yup..the Artist

skinink		2012-02-26 11:36:07 PM

THEEEEEEEEEEEE Artist.

eddievercetti		2012-02-26 11:36:07 PM

SHOCKER!

paj		2012-02-26 11:36:08 PM

Best Picture: The Artist

robsul82		2012-02-26 11:36:14 PM

The Artist wins Best Picture of 2011.

Lord of Allusions		2012-02-26 11:36:20 PM

SquiggelyGrounders: I can understand political threads getting this long since politics actually mater. Is it the dresses, the speeches, celebrity drama? For fark sake people, is this really that important?

No it isn't. That's the goddamn point.

Your politics aren't changed by a thread on Fark. Nothing changes here. Who cares what people talk about?

Mistymtnhop		2012-02-26 11:36:32 PM

Its the dog!

Trocadero		2012-02-26 11:36:33 PM

The bookies won tonight.

The English Major		2012-02-26 11:36:34 PM

Show Scorcese. I want to see if he's crying.

Zombie Hitler		2012-02-26 11:36:35 PM

I liked the Finnish original better.

Didn't see it. But the best film I saw this year was Drive.

Drive was very good. MIPC was one of the best action movies of the past decade, IMO.

what_now		2012-02-26 11:36:39 PM

UGGIE!!!

JerseyTim		2012-02-26 11:36:42 PM

I feel like The Artist winning is the Academy's way of giving the award to Uggie.

dumbandilikeit		2012-02-26 11:36:42 PM

Love that the dog is on stage. But I will probably never see this movie.

coco ebert		2012-02-26 11:36:43 PM

I LOVE UGGIE.

Strongbeerrules		2012-02-26 11:36:52 PM

And the Oscar goes to....9 beers favorite film!

fred_chan		2012-02-26 11:37:00 PM

This makes me so happy. :D

eddievercetti		2012-02-26 11:37:02 PM

GIVE THE DOG A LINE DAMMIT!

TommyymmoT		2012-02-26 11:37:02 PM

Take a bow Uggie!

A crap would be funnier.

libranoelrose		2012-02-26 11:37:04 PM

I had never even heard of this movie before tonight.

Zombie Hitler		2012-02-26 11:37:21 PM

dumbandilikeit: Love that the dog is on stage. But I will probably never see this movie.

It's such an easy watch. Hype is high, but it's pretty enjoyable.

TheManofPA: The Artist for the win just so it can be the first "silent" film in years to win (even though it is not 100 percent silent)

In addition, things like the sound of a telephone ringing wouldn't be in a true silent film. Most showings outside of the biggest cities had a live piano for the sound and NOTHING ELSE.

Are you not entertained!

JerseyTim		2012-02-26 11:37:30 PM

Look at Uggie not even paying attention. Like a boss!

seadoo2006		2012-02-26 11:37:34 PM

Uranus Megahertz: Hope it's The Help

Silent Film > White Guilt

Sorry for all the cheerleaders, but The Help never had a chance tonight.

9beers		2012-02-26 11:37:36 PM

The Artist sucked my ass.

singdizzy		2012-02-26 11:37:40 PM

G'night, all. It's been real.

Rincewind53		2012-02-26 11:37:42 PM

what_now: UGGIE!!!

coco ebert: I LOVE UGGIE.

THIS TIMES ONE THOUSAND.

Uggie makes me smile every time I see him.

dumbandilikeit		2012-02-26 11:37:46 PM

Wow short dude...I like short dudes. I'm a short girl. Oh wait. I'm sorta married. :)

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close would be the Troll Pick. That book was awful, and from what I've seen of the movie it was too.

The movie isn't even positive on rottentomatoes. Whereas...THE MUPPETS was very positive (I know, it has no chance in hell)

cookiefleck		2012-02-26 11:37:53 PM

Alright goodnight all!

DamnYankees		2012-02-26 11:37:57 PM

I'll say this - The Artist is the most deserving winner since Return of the King, in my opinion. I think this is the rare time the Oscar actually went to the best movie of the year.

kanesays		2012-02-26 11:38:03 PM

I didn't know Penelope Ann Miller was still alive.
