Slumdog is a great film, but I can't help but find its hokiness with Jamel's question on the show being exactly related to his life. What r the chances of that?
The whole moral of the story is that "It was written" his whole life has led up to this moment. Through all the horrible times he has head they have paid up to this moment.
thos are my picks. I didn't realize until now that I've only been supporting Frost/Nixon and Doubt. Doubt should be up for best picture if you ask me. It was the best movie I've seen in a long, long time. Revolutionary Road was really great too, and I love Sam Mendez (American Beauty is an inspiration to me as a film maker). But Doubt was just great
it seem everything u said is how prefect the performance of Heath Ledger,how wonderful he potray that character, but no one ever said how prefect tis movie was,how wonderful tis movie was etc. Batman Begin was a great movie too, it receive great critic as well, earn a lot too!But y no one said it should nominate in the Oscar? Now TDK release after the death of Heath Ledger, then everyone start saying TDK should win this n tat.
TDK is great movie, but winning oscar? I think tis movie will so success is bcoz the death of Heath Ledger.If not,this movie won't became the talk of 2008.Heath is great, even greater than Jack Nicholson,he definitely will win best supp. actor. but movie n director is way way impossible. Anne Hathaway will get nominated, she is the dark horse.4 actress is guaratee nominate-Anne,Meryl,Kate n Angelina.totally agree wif Supp Actress.Actor gonna b Sean for sure. Leo not 100% will get nominate.
I have said this and will continue to say that The Dark Knight has no chance at grabbing a Best Picture nomination, let alone win... That being sai I would choose Benjamin Butoon as the winner, not because it's my favorite, but it is the best made, and nominees being
Based on the movies that i've seen, mostly indie films, these are my predictions(i haven't see any of Kate Winslet's): Lead Actor: Clint Eastwood-Gran Torino Richard Jenkins-The Visitor Frank Langella-Frost/Nixon Mickey Rourke-The Wrestler Winner: Sean Penn-Milk Lead Actress: Anne Hathaway-Rachel Getting Married Sally Hawkins-Happy-Go-Lucky Kristin Scott Thomas-I've Loved You So Long Michelle Williams-Wendy & Lucy Winner: Melissa Leo-Frozen River
*Director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) Stephen Daldry(The Reader) David Fincher(... Benjamin Button) Ron Howard (Frost/Nixon) Winner: Gus Van Sant-Milk Motion Picture The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Doubt Frost/Nixon The Visitor Winner: Milk
For your info, I have seen doubt and Slumdog, but I have not seen the others due to the fact that they have not been released anywhere where I live. I picked Leo for actor because he deserves something after his rob for Blood Diamond, Kate Winslet for supporting for I think she won't win actress (Streep was too amazing in Doubt) but kate should get supporting because like Leo, she deserves something.
Obviously this guy hasn't seen any of the movies, most of these picks are early buzzers that have since lost all their momentum and LMAO @ Best Director and Picture for The Dark Knight, not happening.
As I mentioned in the start of the video, these are not necessarily my predictions, but what I would vote for and give the awards to. How come would TDK not win anything? Everything in that movie was great, and it got almost 1 billion in the box office. Nothing has done this well since Titanic. And people have seen it 4+ times in theaters, while movies like Benjamin Button only pulled in a 11 million on it its opening weekend.
"It got almost 1 billion in the box office. Nothing has done this well since Titanic. And people have seen it 4+ times in theaters, while movies like Benjamin Button only pulled in a 11 million on it its opening weekend."
Why do people use the box office/popularity argument to say that The Dark Knight deserves to win? It doesn't, you have to come up with a better argument than that.
Can't you get it through your thick skull that TDk is a great movie? Or are you just in the minority and think that every movie that succeeds well in gross is bad? TDK is an excellent movie; perfectly directed, edited, photographed, and an amazing performance by heath Ledger. What else can you demand? If you don't think TDK shouldn't win, then who?
Who said it wasn't a good movie? I said it wasn't worthy of winning Best Picture, you're just another one of those people brainwashed by excellent marketing and some actor's death, the editing and writing of The Dark Knight are far from perfect, the only things worthy of a nomination (Not a win) are Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger, without them, that film would be nowhere near where it is right now and if you can't accept that, then, I truly feel sorry for you.
You have a point there vesperview. Nolan and Ledger were the driving force behind TDK, but doesn't that deserve them something? I vote TDK for the big winner because I'm tired of the glossy dramas that keep hogging up the Oscars for the last five years. I think it would be an excellent change for a popular movie like TDK to win some Oscars. Nothing has done that good since The Return of the King. You're probably right though, the academy won't give it much, it deserves everything its nominated 4
So are you saying that you don't like The dark Knight? It is the ONLY great movie of 2008. In the last 5 years, the academy always gives the awards to the glossy, limited release dramas. it would be nice for a change in which a huge blockbuster wins again. One that most people have seen and love.
Rouke was robbed.
I seen both Milk and The Wrestler.
Penn was good, but it was an imitation.
Rouke created a brand new character, and I cared more about him than Milk.
Oh well, at least Ledger won.
He put Nicholson to shame.
