    Honestly, I'm shocked Nolan isn't nominated for Director for Inception, same with the Dark Knight, wasn't nominated for that either. Personally, I just want Toy Story 3, The Social Network, and Inception to just do well. Toy Story 3 should win the Animation Award, easily the best out of the 3.

    I guess this just validates my personally held belief that the oscars have not been relevant (so much as being able to point me towards a film I might enjoy) for many years.

    A pity, I am always on the lookout for films I might have missed.

    I'm so glad that Trent Reznor got nominated for Best Score for The Social Network. It's another great way for Nine Inch Nails' mastermind to give the record labels and the RIAA a resounding FUCK YOU after leaking his music and DVDs on torrent sites and releasing The Slip for free.

    All though I hate Trent, Social Network did a really great job with the Soundtrack. It really set the mood perfectly for whatever was going on in the film.

    From the films that I seen this year, this is a tough decision for Best Picture. I honestly have no idea who to vote for if I had to.

    You know, it's funny but from all of these movies I've only seen three (namely Inception, Harry Potter, and Iron Man 2). And of these the only one that I liked was inception (the others were not bad, but I'm pissed about the dragging on in HP and Iron Man 2 just missed something) only thing that bothered me about Inception was the lack of truly dreamlike worlds (I mean were inside a dream, make someone fly, or give me a fairy tale like environment, though Limbo was cool). So I'll be rooting for Inception, because that is the only one I know and like enough (though I hope to see Tron soon).

    I genuinely liked "The Kids Are All Right". It was nominated due to its obvious social relevance.

    The best part about The King's Speech is obviously the masterful acting of Firth. It was a fantastic performance that will likely win Best Actor. The problem with it in general is its reliance on period. While the movie is fantastic, The Social Network is quite possibly the most relevant movie of this year. It's plot is excellent and it had good acting. (well executed, but not as memorable as Firth) As you can remember, the movies that won in previous years mostly had something to do with social relevance, as I had said. Crash. Slumdog Millionare. Hurt Locker. Titanic. Schindler's List. Rain Man. Gandhi. While The King's Speech is excellent, The Social Network is the most likely winner.

    If there is anything that does stand any chance to beat The Social Network and The King's Speech, it would be Black Swan and True Grit. They both have extremely dedicated fanbases and a huge following, and they are both fantastically directed movies.

    For Directing, I would say Fincher, Hooper and Aronofsky have equal chances of winning. It's anyone's game in my opinion for now.

    You don't even have to talk about Animated Picture. Toy Story 3 will win. (although my friend seems convinced How to Train Your Dragon will win)

    Actually, since I'm bored, I'll post who's likely to win. And the possible spoiler.

    Best Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network
    Spoiler: 127 Hours, True Grit

    Best Original Screenplay: The King's Speech

    Hollywood is full of crap.
    This big budgets , mass produced for mass market audience just don't cut it for me anymore.
    God bless Netflix instant, for all those Indie foreign movies that even made on a badget, usually rely on a good story and good acting to get your attention rather that a multi million dollars in special effects and production.
    I used to care, but homestly, there are so many good , underrated movies out there.
    That said, I enjoyed Inception and I wish it to do well.

    Why is the Social Network so hyped? I watched it and found it the most boring movie I have ever seen I was about to get up and leave the movie half way through it in the theaters.

    Because it has social relevance. Nearly everyone has Facebook nowadays, and it's beautifully acted, scripted and scored.

    Exit through the Gift Shop is ACE. I'm still not convinced it even IS a documentary; I suspect it's mostly staged and acted, and Banksy is trolling everyone on a major scale (seriously, imagine if it WON AN OSCAR and was later revealed to be fake?)

    My predictions:

    Warning: Spoilers inside!

    Inception got snubbed for so much. They hate Christopher Nolan like all hell, the Dark Knight got snubbed for a lot too outside of Best Supporting Actor and that's only really because Heath Ledger died.

    Odds are the sweeper is gonna be The King's Speech with True Grit and The Social Network doing well.

    The King's Speech just seems to be made to win Oscars and I really have a personal hatred for movies that do that. They're artsy as all hell but damn boring. I'd really be rooting for Inception (probably my personal favorite of 2010), although True Grit was great and The Social Network looks really good.

    No cinematography nomination for Scott Pilgrim sucks though, definitely was done very well in that respect.

    Generally I don't care for these awards things, they're usually full of crap. Good movies often get snubbed and the awards only go to the movies that basically just get critics hard, not movies that people actually like.

    Out of all the movies nominated, I've only watched Toy Story 3, The Social Network, Inception, and How to Train Your Dragon.

    Are any of the other movies(most of which I've never even heard of) worth watching?
