 Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects Sad thing...Cage is actually a great actor with the great material too.
I believe his Oscar win was completely deserved as was his Oscar nom for Adaptation.
But then he brings along The Wicker Man and Bang Cock Dangerous.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects The Lovely Bones - 9 votes
Nine - 8 votes
Shutter Island - 8 votes
The Human Factor - 7 votes
Public Enemies - 6 votes
I wouldn't have guessed The Lovely Bones would be leading votes (I'd pegged The Human Factor for that). But I haven't read the book either.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects Early prospect: Brothers
Directed by Jim Sheridan, starring Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, and Jake Gyllenhaal, Afghanistani war plotline.
Idk, but it comes out in the UK in a month...and all three actors could be worthy.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects Some movie that comes out of nowhere distributed by Fox Searchlight will be nominated. Obviously.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects What about the Green Zone movie Paul Greengrass made with Matt Damon?
And is the Aronofsky movie happening? Cuz I remember Mark Wahlberg had some words to say a few months ago. And what about his Robocop remake?

But hey! That helped Crash! I don't know if I would say The Lovely Bones is "about rape." It's not, really. The main character is raped and murdered, yes, but it's more about her watching over her family and their subsequent response.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects It sounds awfully cheesy. So like, the girl spends the movie standing on a cloud looking down at her family?

It's more about the family, with the girl narrating most of it. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects There's one scene, where if Wahlberg can pull it off, he could get an Oscar for... Heh.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects loyalfromlondon wrote: Is Wahlberg a better choice for the dad than Ryan Gosling? Tough to say. But yeah. I think Gosling is a slightly better actor, but Wahlberg will be able to handle the more mature role. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects Marky Mark always sounds confused which worked great in The Happening. Unexplained worldwide phenomenon killing tonnes of people, I'd be confused too.
All his other roles however, doesn't work as well.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects If only DDL would star in films more often..he'd beat Jack Nicholson for the most Oscars won by an actor. Hell, he's 2/4...and the Academy loves him.
I'm pretty sure he'll win another one during his career.

Re: 2009 Best Picture Prospects The DDL pics look great. Why did I think Nine was an animated film that so many well known actors were voicing characters for??
