 Re: Slumdog Will Not Win Best Picture Club oy, today pretty much solidified it for me. In English, we were talking about sequences events leading to one conclusion, which brought up a comparison to Benjamin Button. Most of the people in class had seen it, and came to the conclusion that it was either boring or not very good. Then the teacher added in, "Now, Slumdog Millionaire..." and everybody seemed to be in agreement of its greatness.
Ben Button simply doesn't have the passion on its side. And Slumdog does.

Re: Slumdog Will Not Win Best Picture Club I won't call it a lock for the win yet, but it's getting there. So much of the passion in the awards groups is going its way at this point, and if it continues to be that way, the chances of a loss become less and less likely. It's the safest bet for the Oscar win at this point, and by a good margin.
So... no. Not unless the race really changes in the next month.

So I am going against all logic and living in a dreamworld. redeem from what? I was actually extremely pleased with most of last year. I think DIB hates when they award serious movies like No Country, and would rather see something like Ratatouille win every year. I'd like that, but I understand why what happens happens. However, I thought The Departed was a very fun, often funny movie... that's a winner he should be somewhat happy with. Except I loved No Country For Old Men. The last two years have had great winners, but decent nominations as both years snubbed my favorite film from each (Ratatouille for 2007, Children of Men for 2006) _________________

Ben Button simply doesn't have the passion on its side. And Slumdog does. Despite having not seen it I'm sure.
