Movies that should have been nominated for Oscars?

Or films that should have been nominated for more awards. There are tons of films that were missed out at the oscars this year. Some because of overly strict and stupid foreign film rules. Anyway here are some I loved that should have been nominated.

The Fall- Best art direction, best director.

Gomorra- Best foreign film

Let the right one in- Best foreign film, best score, best cinematography, best director, best picture.

I've loved you so long- Best actress

Synecdoche New York- Best director, best actor.

JCVD- Best actor

The Dark Knight : Best Director, Best Picture, Best Screenplay

Revolutionary Road: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress

The Wrestler: Best Picture, Best Director

Let The Right One In couldn't have been nominated. You're going to have to wait for next year.sammyjenkis898

I hope it gets nominated next year, unfortunatly for some reason I dont think it will for some reason. I think it should have been up for nomination, the foreign film rules and restrictions are a bit strict to me.

The Dark Knight got robbed simply because it was a comic movie. It was an amazing movie which captured the darkness of our age, and the acting was amazing, not just referring to Ledger, although he did steal the movie. Same thing with Let The Right One In, except just becuase it's a horror movie, sort of. What also bugs me is that the girl actress and the boy actor in that movie (can't remember the names) should be the great teen actors of today. Instead, we have a bunch of Disney Channel kids who have a large fanbase and no talent.Razor-Lazor

Well to be fair, let the right one in is only those kids first film and it is a swedish film. When is the last time any swedish child actors in their first film got much success outside their own country? I agree that they were great but unfortunatley I dont think they will become huge.

What do you think it should have been nominated for? I didnt think anything other than Clint's acting was worth nomination.

I think they should become bigger too, they are fantastic actors for their age especially the girl Lina Leandersson. Maybe it is best that they dont become massive stars, they are still just kids you know? just look what success did to some other child actors. I did read somewhere that they wil both continue acting and I am curious to see what they do next. I havent been so impressed by a child actor in their first film since Natalie Portman in The Professional and Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.

Clint's acting was good, but i thought the story was bit too predictable and the acting other than Clint's was pretty bad.

But in all honesty, I agree. We do have a few good child actors, though. Like Annasophia Robb. She's 15, and she was the little girl who drowned in Bridge to Terabithia. IMO, she's amazing for her age.

I know we could only nominate so many films for Best Picture, and the ones that were nominated were well-deserved.... But if we were able to nominate any more, I would have also chosen The Wrestler and Changeling for Best Picture.Nerd_Man

I'm not a huge fan of Jolie, but I thought she played a great role in this movie.
Well I just saw the movie and loved it, so maybe that's why. Maybe if I wait a while, the appeal of the film will settle down a bit.

I think it ranks up there with all my other favorite films of 2008... Which includes The Wrestler, WALL-E, The Dark Knight and Milk.

The Wrestler, Best Picture, Best Director/

im actually disgusted that it wasnt.

at least Wall.E beat Kung-fu panda :P

There are some good swedish actors that are pretty well known, like Stellan Skarsgard. But I want to see the kids from let the right one in do well in their acting careers, but it would suck if their careers turned into something like the Coreys or Haley Joel Osmont.

It's total BS that Waltz With Bashir wasn't even on the shortlist for Best Animated Film.MetroidPrimePwn

True, but I don't think it would've stood a chance of winning Best Animated Film. It actually had a better chance of winning Best Foreign Film, but it didn't happen.

I dont think it could be nominated tecnically since it was an animated documentary so it was a fact based thing so I dont think the academy could nominate it. That is probably BS though, I did hear from an academy member.

I think there's still a lot of problems with the academy, really. They have a problem with animated features as well. If there was ever an animated film that had a shot at being nominated for Best Feature, that film could have been WALL-E, and I'm sure a lot of people can agree with that. But ever since the Best Animated Feature category was added, they feel that they should stay in that category, as if they're completely different from anything else.

If an animated film was to win best picture I am glad it isnt Wall-E to be honest, there have been better animated films before.

The Wrestler for Best Picture and Best Director. But Let The Right One In wasn't nominated for anything this year? If anything it deserved to win some.mo0ksi

It came out too late, but the foreign film rules are a bit stupid.

[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"][QUOTE="Razor-Lazor"] The only reason it wasn't, was because The Academy isn't too fond of pro wrestling. I too am disgusted at this. And Wall-E winning was the most predictable thing of the night. I've never even seen it.Film-Guy

I'm not saying it should have won, I was just saying that it could have had a chance at being nominated. It was without a doubt one of the best films released in 2008, for sure. I know there will be people who will beg to differ (Maybe you do), but you can't really deny it was also one of (If not, THE) the highest rated films of 2008.

The Wrestler and Dark Knight got snubbed for best director. IMOiloverikku11

Dude has no idea how to film an action sequence, or anything fast paced. The editing is also crap.

I vote for Speed Racer - Best Everything.

You think Christopher Nolan can't film an action sequence, yet you think Speed Racer is flawless?

Yes. You can't deny that the police chase in BB was awful. I had no idea why the Batmobile crashed in TDK.

Nolan has an eye for slow or static scenes (The Prestige is incredibly well made), but for action... no.

Speed Racer's gonna be a classic. Just remember how 2001 or Blade Runner were bashed for "not making any sense".

Inb4 mature people saying Speed Racer's a joke. Oh wait...

The Batmobile was shot with a bazooka..

I've never seen anyone with such high opinions for Speed Racer.

Dude, are you serious?! The chase scene was easily one of the most well-done action sequences I've ever seen...

And Speed Racer? Really?

EDIT: nvm, you said Batman Begins... The sentence after made it seem like you were talking about TDK's chase scene.
