I think The curios case of Benjamin Button is overrated, but I’m afraid it’s gonna win.

I have a question: This may be totally random, but was I the only person who thought No Country for Old Men was completely overrated? So not the best of 2007.

This is what the oscars should be this year: No fucking singing and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wins all the awards it was nominated for except for cinematography (TDK needs that and the Joker needs his oscar)

REason Oscars are boring is not just because of the nominees, it’s because it’s always the same ceremony every year no matter how “changed/updated” they say it is. No matter who the host is, it’s the same old song different day. They need to spice it up a bit, make it a bit less formal, more fun and interactive in a way. The Oscars get more and more retro as they years pass, it’s like become an old theater play for pete’s sake. It’s completely the opposite of progress, every year they take another step back, in the wrong direction.

Well, Hugh Jackman is hosting, there is a slight possibility that he will, at some point, remove his shirt, so I eagerly anticipate the telecast.

Best thing they can do come Oscar time is ensure all nominees hava speech prepared, and get the winner to read it from the autocue once they take to the stage. this teary, 20 minute thank-eveybody-in-the-world stuff (a la halle Berry) is ridiculous.

Rodney, you may have been joking, but that last paragraph in your post is EXACTLY the kind of outside the box type of thinking the Oscar ceremony needs. I think your Price is Right example is a GREAT idea – at least for the “lesser” awards like Cinematography and sound design etc.

Seriously, I like that idea a lot. It would be a lot of fun.

Of course people might look at it as the awards show not taking the category very seriously. Still, good thinking.

True. We don’t know much about the nominated movies. Only do we catch glipmses from commercials and radio about the films. MTV Movie Awards are all eye candy. ‘Nuff said. (Oh yeah, one more thing, MTV bring back videos!)
