Oscars 2009 (For Your Consideration)


Recommended Posts

Because of her ######, Titanic received 11 oscars. :shifty:

On topic:

This year oscar was too predictive. All knew slumdog will win the oscar for best picture and Ledger for best supporting actor in TDK. Expect the best actor which I thought either Brad Pitt or Rourke would win. :p

Still shocked that Slumdog won so many, I normally really like Danny Boyle's work, but thought this movie was boring. It was not at all what everyone had hyped it to be. Ah well at least they conceded to public demand and ensured that Heath got his.

I felt the same. The movie was boring. Good 'overall' story but boring. It definitely did not deserve the best picture oscar. IMO dark knight, iron man or wall-e deserve it a lot more than slumdog.

I watched Slumdog yesterday and I thought although it was good, its not 8 Oscars good. I mean it was predictable and there isn't as much emotional substance as I thought it would be, everyone has high praise for it but when I watched it it was just not to my expectations.

It's a snorfest. It gets better in the end, but if I had watched it "minus hype" I never would have thought of it as oscar material.

Wall-e for best picture!

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?  
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
