Oscars 2011

Just returned home from seeing The King's Speech with my mom before she starts chemo tomorrow and a friend of her. The movie was AWESOME. Colin IS going to get the Oscar for that, I have absolutely no doubt about that.

Here we go... I think its going to be a pretty predictable year for movies it seems. Unless the academy decide to throw the old one-two like they sometimes do.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 04:06

Yeah, I'm thinking predictable too. But I am excited that Wally Pfister won Best Cinematographer for Inception. He's just fantastic. He's doing these huge films now, but I love him for his earlier, smaller stuff. He shot the movie Laurel Canyon which I adore. And one of the reasons I love it so much is how sumptuous and just shimmery he made everything look.

EOcean214 · 28 Feb 11 :: 04:26

I'll have to check out Laurel Canyon. The cinemetography in inception was incredible. I was rooting for black swan though. Glad that Aaron Sorkin won for best adapted screen play and I LOVED the speech that David Seidler gave for best screenplay for King's Speech. Teared up a bit, can't wait to see that movie again. Melissa Leo definately deserved the award for "The Fighter" too.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 04:48

Sorkin's my guy, all the way even though I still haven't seen the movie. I love Melissa Leo, haven't seen that one yet either. Seidler is all class, haven't seen that one either. Sucks having no money. I'll catch up with all of them on DVD though.

I'm chatting with Mike Mayer, the director and Brian Ralston, the composer of Graduation about the Oscars on Facebook right now. How weird, huh?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 04:50

Inception won Sound Editing. Yay! Wonder who Rick was rooting for...

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 05:01

Colleen Atwood did the costumes for Silence of The Lambs, Sleepy Hollow & Sweeny Todd, movies I adore. Congrats to Colleen!

Very cool Deb!

I liked Colleen Atwood won too. Seemed everyone was pleased with that. I loved Cate Blanchett's dress. That clip of The Wolfman made me want to see it!

Loved If I Rise performance with Florence. Beautiful voice. Off to bed I go though. Gotta rest for a busy week. Sad I can't enjoy the rest of them. I'm sure I'll be able to hear the report tomorrow morning!

Oh Gwynnie. What a sweet, sincere performance.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 05:46

Yes! If I Rise was beautiful!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 05:47

Friggin' Randy Newman. This is a "career award".

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 05:48

Oh no, here comes In Memorium. I will cry.

completely agree. Gwyn did give a sweet performance. I always cry in memorium's too.

Also, I can report that Dana Bruneti, who was a producer on The Social Network has Tweeted that he's nervous. He gets an Oscar if it wins Best Picture. I'm friends with him on Facebook because he was a producer on Fanboys. He's also Kevin Spacey's longtime producing partner. And co-founder of TriggerStreet, which started as a website to help new writers and has grown into a full-fledged production company. I hope tonight is a HUGE triumph for them.

domesticelefant · 28 Feb 11 :: 06:02

So far I'm disappointed. And Summit is going to have to make up for that "big" Twilight moment. They announced it, like, this BIG, BIG moment no fan would want to miss and what did we get? That was so lame, the word lame doesn't qualify here. :angry:

very cool. I had to stay up for the director award. kind of suprised at King's Speech. Thought it would sway towards Fincher to be honest. Glad he won though, King's Speech so great.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 06:11

Pretty much seals it for Best Picture. I have no business rooting for anyone I haven't seen, but I like a lot of the people who are nominated from past stuff.

domesticelefant · 28 Feb 11 :: 06:26

For one second I thought I was going to lose trust in movie business ... then I heard Sandra saying Colin's name. I am HAPPY!!!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Feb 11 :: 06:30

Yes! I'm very happy for Colin Firth. Been a fan for decades! He's my Valmont. And, um, my Merteuil is in da house to see it happen!

domesticelefant · 28 Feb 11 :: 06:32

Let's sing "Our Last Summer" together! LOL

I know. I think I've been in love with him since I was 10 years old watching Valmont and Pride and Prejudice! So glad Mr. Darcy has finally won an academy award!!! This movie is truly amazing Deb. You'll have to rent it when it comes out. We've taken a poll and asked everyone who've seen it if they liked the movie. No one has said no so far.

I had to stay up for the rest of the awards. Couldn't say no to it. It was nice to hear all the applause for Eisenberg's nomination. Definately been a fan of his since Roger Doger and I know he'll be nominated in the future.

EOcean214 · 28 Feb 11 :: 06:38

I can't believe King's Speech won. I Really thought it would go to the Social Network. but I'm SOOOOO happy it did. Such a great movie, important story, still relevant to times today. I had a stuttering problem growing up so this movie meant a lot to me,and Seidler's speech too, topped with an incredible performance by one of my favorite actors!

Yep. Indeed, Linds. Time to call it a night. Congrats everyone. Just nice to see so many Chris-adjacent people there, some of them nominated!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing:

Excuse me, but I am happy that Social Network didn't win. :devil: YAY THE KINGS SPEECH!!! (Doesn't mean I'm not sad for Black Swan, though. But there can only be one winner. *sigh* If I would have to decide I'd just cut the Oscar in half and give it to both movies. LOL
