I also wished Mélanie Laurent (she played Shosanna Dreyfus) had gotten a nomination... But no, she got nothing.<br /><br />I'm glad Avatar didn't win anything big because, I quite frankly didn't like it. Maybe everyone is just playing a trick on me or something, but I simply couldn't see what was so special about it. Was it it's derivative story or it's whimsical special effects? Someone please tell me so I can feel normal!SlashHalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014210235869639594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930845918040443151.post-51341988572386186202010-03-12T07:25:05.310-05:002010-03-12T07:25:05.310-05:00nobody probably cares for that in the US, but the ...nobody probably cares for that in the US, but the best foreign film strongly disappointed us, here in France. I mean, we've made a totally flawless movie (A Prophet) with outstanding performances, an incredibly clever screenplay and all you can expect from such a work of art, and that for the first time in ages... and it lost. Austria's White Ribbon was extremely good as well, and it didn't win either. DOesn't make sense. Do they really watch all the DVDs they get, at the Academy ? Or just what they feel like watching ?Stanhttp://fr.fansnextdoor.com/projects/le-blogo-du-tiger-qui-go-get-em-booknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930845918040443151.post-13598428028741151092010-03-11T15:01:55.885-05:002010-03-11T15:01:55.885-05:00You'll be glad to know that the Producers and ...You'll be glad to know that the Producers and Director of LOGORAMA have moved onto live action for their next film. They signed with William Morris and have been hired to do a 20 minute live action commercial film. The Oscar paid off - but not for animation.

Did she just rush the stage and no one stopped her ? I don't recall seeing her on stage when he first came up , but about 30 seconds into his acceptance speech she steps in front of him and started talking loudly and rapidly. He seemed completely shocked by her behavior and just sort of stood there and watched her blather on.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162612139500138953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930845918040443151.post-58794449546796705442010-03-11T09:39:19.105-05:002010-03-11T09:39:19.105-05:00"And the weird thing was the producer took ho..."And the weird thing was the producer took home the Oscar and the directors couldn't even take the stage because of the academy rules."<br /><br />Why is this?

Logorama was definitely the most visually interesting animated film I have seen in awhile. Could have gone without the swearing I think that a good animated film can get its point across without swearing. <br /><br />I am surprised Ponyo didn't get very far. How could something as visually painful as Mr.Fox beat Ponyo to the nominee. Myiaziki is without question a far more accomplished artist than Mr.Fox's animators. This proves that the Academy doesn't always base on merit but sometimes for other reasons. The only theory I have for Mr.Fox getting nominated is that George Clooney and Wes Anderson were Academy favorites. I commend their other accomplishments but Mr.Fox is not one of them.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567290166047460824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930845918040443151.post-35722073601588743672010-03-10T16:06:08.558-05:002010-03-10T16:06:08.558-05:00You may be right about that.

But as someone who thought The Assassination of Jesse James was a spurned masterwork and that Gone with the Wind is a racist, simplistic, and uninteresting bloated mess with some good production design, I've never been a great fan of popularity.<br /><br />For the record, I thought The Hurt Locker was easily the better film, though would have liked if Up in the Air had had some chance of winning. Actually, I probably would have given best picture to The Secret of Kells or Ponyo. Nobody at the Academy would have gone with that, though.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348117126551691875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930845918040443151.post-57954737045687007752010-03-10T15:31:15.611-05:002010-03-10T15:31:15.611-05:00Bill, you are so right about "Runaway". ...Bill, you are so right about "Runaway".
