Not only is Bloom alive but so is his teacher M.H. Abrams.

Were you mollified when Sally got an individual Oscar, though? "I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!"

This author obviously didn’t see ‘Juno’.
Two thumbs up. Positive, uplifting and well deserving of the best screenplay Oscar.

George Clooney in which he spoke with the same over-acted Hillary-Clinton-in-a-lower-register voice. Yup!

You don't need to spend $10 on "depressing, dark and disturbing" when Lou Dobbs gives it away for free every day. ;~)) And if Obama gets elected, . . .

It's only about 5 years since we had The Lord of the Rings up against movies like A Beautiful Mind and Chicago. Things were already on a downtrend, but they are really abysmal now.

Sorry, sorry — he just hasn’t been very chatty of late.

Clooney is a one dimensional hack as an actor.

It doesn’t bother me so much that a lot of these films are dark and depressing. I love Film Noir and those are very dark and downbeat films sometimes. What bothers me is that so many modern films suck and are hostile to our military and/or culture. It’s one thing to criticize an occasional aspect of our culture, but another to beat it until it’s dead and then keep beating it.

It would have been my choice in that field of contenders.

I agree 100%. I really didn’t like Club Dread so much.
When I get calls to my office trying to sell me stuff, I use the name Johnny Chimpo.
I think Beerfest is my favorite of their movies. What Caddyshack did for golf, Beerfest does for drinking loads of beer!

He’s a movie star, not an actor. Movie stars aren’t known for their acting.
Ever notice how Harrison Ford always looks a bit startled, as if he toilet has begun overflowing for no particular reason.

This was actually the best crop of Best PIcture nominees in a long time.I agree.
And I'd rather see a win by a depressing masterpiece rather than by a depressing piece of cheap hackwork (viz. Million Dollar Baby).

I didn’t see any of this artistic crap.
To: i_dont_chat
I saw “Blood Simple” when it first came out and the charms of the Cohen Brothers still allude me.
But I know they have a strong following.

I’m convinced that the people who called ‘Million Dollar Baby’ ‘high tragedy’ had actually never seen a movie before. MDB was their first experience with the whole kooky moving picture thingamajig.
