 How Do 2008's BP Nominees Compare To Year's Past? Unless I grow a huge boner for The Reader later today, 2008 could top 2005, 1999, and 1986 as the least impressive group of BP nominees in my lifetime. Thank god for Milk.

Re: How Does 2008's BP Nominees Compare To Year's Past? I've only seen 3 of the nominees:
Benjamin Button: love
Slumdog: love
Frost/Nixon: like
Last year's crop was actually my favorite group of nominees in a long time. I had seen every movie by nomination time and loved all of them.

Re: How Do 2008's BP Nominees Compare To Year's Past? Last year's nominations were fantastic and made me optimistic about the oscars again. D'oh!
Slumdog is awesome. Nixon and Milk are pretty good. Sometimes I like Button, sometimes I hate it. Fuck The Reader. The most boring fivesome they could have given us.

Re: How Do 2008's BP Nominees Compare To Year's Past? 2005 with Crash and Capote and 2002 with Gangs of New York were pretty awful line ups in my opinion, even if there were some films in there I really liked.

Duuuuuuude..... Milk was so bland I felt the need to watch paint dry for excitement after.

Crash - The Reader
Brokeback Mountain - Slumdog Millionaire
Good Night, and Good Luck - Frost/Nixon
Munich - Milk

Re: How Do 2008's BP Nominees Compare To Year's Past? Looking back, it's easy to see that every year is largely indefensible. Everyone, myself included, seems to forget this as each season begins.
