G&T Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" for best picture, eh? A movie with 48% on rotten tomatoes - 30% behind any other nominee.

It seems like they reach for the last few, and I would guess this movie falls in that category. They do, but that isn't what bothers me exactly. It's more like that movie was destined to be a Best Picture nominee because of the cast and subject matter regardless of actual execution which makes me wonder how their process really works. I mean, if you're going to reach, why not reach with a good movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I've seen exactly 0 nominated films, although I brought home "Midnight in Paris" and "Moneyball" from my library last night. I find it much more surprising that Jonah Hill got a best-supporting nod than Melissa McCarthy, who I thought was great in "Bridesmaids." Brad Pitt, too for that matter. Again, I haven't seen it yet, but I wouldn't think that acting the part of a baseball executive requires superior dramatic range or skill.

GoSox05 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I didn't get a chance to see any of the nominated films for best picture. I thought Hobo with a Shotgun should have been nominated for best picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) There aren't even a full ten movies nominated. That's how bad this year has been. Edited January 24, 2012 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how bad this year has been. Yeah, they changed the format again. They can nominate up to ten movies, but they don't have to nominate ten. Either way, I've seen exactly one major nominee (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and I'm honestly not that excited to see any of them. I'll just hope that Gary Oldman and Max Von Sydow win, as I like them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the fact that everytime Terrence Mallick makes a movie, he has to get nominated. I don't watch his stuff after he hacked up Thin Red Line and feel his movies are slowly paced and dull. Wonderfully shot, but not very watchable. Edited January 24, 2012 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're more of a movie buff than me so how many movies did you like more than Warrior this year? The answer for me is a big ol' 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer for me is a big ol' 0. Warrior definitely number 1 for me. I'm off tomorrow so gonna go see The Artist. I also loved 50/50, Mission Impossible (which would never get nominated), and Hanna. I find the lack of recognition for Dunst in Melancholia appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigklita Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I will agree with all the Terrence Malick stuff being said. The Tree of Life was awful, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Last year I saw all of the nominees, this year I don't know if I want to. I've only seen The Tree of Life, Moneyball, and Warhorse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
