Go James Franco and 127 hours. What an incredible movie. I liked the Social Network too but 127 hours was better.
To: napscoordinator
I agree. I tend to be drawn to true life stories. I thought all of the movies nominated for best pix were excellent, but each in their own way. It seems unfair to have them compete in a way
I feel Inception was an incredibly good movie and should have a different category.(a Category for Special effects maybe? ) Many people didn’t care for it.
After my first viewing I scratched my head.... hmmm... what the heck was that about. I got the general gist but it was a bit cloudy, shall we say?
After many more views so much fell into place & I found the genius of the extremely intricate story line & really appreciated all the special effects and the editing which were both astounding.
I now own the Blu Ray Disc (I recently was gifted for V day a new Vizio TV & Vizio Blu Ray)
Well bottom line for movies is the box office & later the DVD, BluRay, netflex etc sales. This is where people REALLY vote

My introduction to all of these movies will be the Oscar Show, since I haven’t seen any of them.
To: DollyCali
Could you imagine what the reaction from the Left would be if Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld handed each other awards all night?
To: Berlin_Freeper
I like it!
And the reward for most people freed from tyranny goes to ... George W Bush!!!
And the reward for best Supreme Court appointments goes to ... George W Bush!!!
And the “Do You Miss Me Yet?” reward for best ex-President goes to ... George W Bush!!!

Tis okay. I have friends who wait for Oscar wins to determine what they will view if still at theaters or rent later.
After the final awards many of the movies are returned to the theaters. The big , epic speicial effect movies are IMHO best viewed at a theater. Story line shows are okay on your home systems
You are most welcome here!

I thought Gadhafi’s killing spree might make a cause celebre....I doubt Iran will, but it should

I despise many of these actors and the films they nominate for Oscars. The vast majority of these unworthy actors are nothing but left-wing activists and Dem voters, while many of the films nominated each year push some left-wing idea.
