Re: Oscar Chat Live! There's not even an ounce of suspense anymore as to what will win Best Picture.

Re: Oscar Chat Live! Gunslinger wrote: Hooper seems so nice. Wish I enjoyed his film more. I agree. I think he seems like a nice guy, I just didn't like THE KING'S SPEECH and his directing was not even close to being the best of the year.

Re: Oscar Chat Live! Bale gave Oscar hopefuls with "difficult" reputations hope. Fincher's loss just deflated their balloon again. _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3.

Re: Oscar Chat Live! I haven't seen the King's speech but it just seems like the type of period drama crap that Oscars like, like Shakespeare in Love. Well, it won't be the first time a better film got beat out.

Re: Oscar Chat Live! They could have chosen a more powerful clip for Michelle Williams. The one they chose actually would've been better for Ryan Gosling.

Indeed. I s'pose I should've said, "Wish I loved his film more." It's a fine, good, solid picture, but not Oscar-worthy. Especially when he beat one of my favorite directors of all-time, David O. Russell. I know you're trying to twist this into a whole 'I'm such a flip-flopper' type deal, which is fine, but I don't think it really works this time. _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2.

I felt the exact same way and was just coming here to post that. Very disappointed with the clip they chose for her. Michelle looks so gorgeous and elegant tonight.

Re: Oscar Chat Live! Wasn't trying to make you look like a flip-flopper david, was trying to make it look like you arbitrarily give out good grades for movies you don't like because your incapable of criticizing something that is well-regarded.

Michael A wrote: Wasn't trying to make you look like a flip-flopper david, was trying to make it look like you arbitrarily give out good grades for movies you don't like because your incapable of criticizing something that is well-regarded. But I do like it. I think it's very solidly in that B/B+ range. Yeah, I'm a little annoyed by its Oscar glory, which kind of makes me crabby about it, but I still like the film. _________________1.

I get where he's coming from. He enjoyed the movie a good amount but the hype has brought it down for him. It happens. I really liked Crash and gave it something like a B+/ A- and once it won Best Picture over Brokeback I despised it .
