all the actor awards were very predictable, but well deserved. Although I still think Steinfeld should have won. (even disregarding my previous statement.)

Social Network has no chance to win best picture now.

[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"][QUOTE="Lockedge"][QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"]Jennifer Lawrence was really good, but she wasn't even in the same league that Portman was in. 1. Natalie Portman 2. Michelle Williams 3. Nicole Kidman 4. Jennifer Lawrence 5. Annette Benning

Was Williams really that good in Blue Valentine? I haven't been able to catch a screening of that film :(

Yes. She's that good. If she would have been the upset for that category, I can't say I would have been disappointed. Why Gosling, who gives arguably the best male performance of the year, wasn't nominated just boggles my mind. I highly recommend it.

Really wish he had been nominated, especially seeing how she was.

Same. Same goes for Original Screenplay, but what are you going to do. Everything has been predictable so far.

Oh my the oscar bait that everyone knew was going to win the second it was announced actually won? Well I am shocked! What a shocker! This is why no one tunes in and the oscars ratings are incredibly low. No one needs to tune in because we known the winners before they even vote. They're insanely predictable.

The social network sucked. It was like watching a TV movie of the week. Not worthy of a theatrical release and certainly not worthy of any Oscars.

And Inception was a dumb movie that tried to seem smart. I'm also glad it didn't win anything big.

What is it about a popular Summer blockbuster that makes people so biased against it? Just because it's an action movie, and not a riveting drama, people feel the need to bash on it.

The fact is, Inception is without doubt one of the most innovative movies of all time, like it or not.

Avatar hate was justified. That movie was a tech demo playing over Pocahontas/Dances with Wolves, except done much poorly than the previous two in terms of plot and character progression(which is baffling). Inception was a good movie. I'm not sure it's worthy of a best picture nod considering it was a pretty solid year for movies and there were some glaring omissions, but it's certainly not a bad movie at all.

I know that, but still it's upsetting.

True Grit was actually the most robbed though. Should have won supporting actress, cinematography, art direction and costume. (Last two are debatable against King's Speech.)

The matrix is a computer world more than a dream world. And you naming 2 movies that are considered to be incredible doesnt help you out as well. All of those movies were incredible.

what the **** does that mean? Watch True Grit or Black Swan or Social Network and it would be impossible to say Inception had better shots than any of those films.

Not really. The film didn't differentiate itself visually between dreams and reality, the camera work was dodgy, etc. It was a fairly bland looking film. There was nothing exceptional about the cinematography in Inception. Matthew Libatique or Roger Deakins should have won.
