I have read where the Oscar folks do not like Weinstein...not sure if this is true or not.

Waltz won!!!!!!!!!! The only one I was pulling for.

I agree Disenthral,tho' Avatar is a visually stunning fantaysy,it's an old story adequatly acted,but Theo Hurt Locker has the raw power of realism about it,which annexes Avatar's million dollar special effects.

Yay for Waltz, Bridges, Mo'Nique and The Hurt Locker. HL wasn't a masterpiece, but it was a very good film and no complaints from me.

How the hell did Sandra Bullock win Best Actress, though? Granted, I haven't seen Blind Side, but Sandra Bullock over Streep and Mirren, and over performances like Mulligan's and Sidibe's? Seriously?

The Academy's decisions have been questioned for decades, and the discussion as to their choices will surge every year. Though I've not seen the movies in question, I can not say whether Ms. Bullock was worthy of the award or not, but as the 6000 members of the Academy thought so, she probably is.

I can't believe Ninja Assassin didn't get one nomination.

I thought Avatar would have been as justified in winning as any other film nominated. Not because the story was anything special, but because it may go down as the movie that brought 3-D back in favor. However, there wasn't a stand-out, stellar movie in the bunch. I did like Hurt Locker a lot though. It was understated compared to a typical war movie and the characters felt genuine.

I've had Near Dark on the DVR for weeks but haven't watched it yet. Strange Days was a cool movie. I wonder if she'll get more work from the publicity?

Sandra Bullock was actually good in that movie, and i guess they think Streep has enough oscars.
