WTF is toy story 3 doing there?

No Ryan Gosling?


Ah well, at least they didn't nominate Justin Timberlake. . . that would have just been the ultimate insult to everyone ever nominated for Oscar. Dude was probably expecting it too, don't know what kind Koolaid he's been sipping on thinking he's an actor.

Good for The King's Speech. . . always liked Colin Firth.

Who saw the Rabbit Hole?

They can't just give the Oscar to "How to Train your Dragon", they gotta pretend there's competition

best picture-the social network
best actor-jesse eisenberg

I'm just upset that Leo Dicaprio didn't get a shout this year . I think he was awesome in Shutter Island. These Oscar people sef!!

Apparently, you're in another planet - probably the Viking planet; because, first of all, Toy Story IS the movie to beat at the Animation category, and that's what critics believe too (read reputable blogs to broaden your view on this subject and confirm my point). Toy Story is the best-reviewed movie of 2010 with a 99 percent rating on rottentomatoes.com, as opposed to How To Train Your Dragon's 98. It is also the highest selling film of 2010, as well as the highest grossing animated movie ever made, with a superb haul of roughly 1.07 billion dollars. Critics like Roger Ebert have long tipped this movie to be a valid contender for the Best Picture title. So, for you to even think of How To Train Your Dragon as anything remotely similar to a shoe-in is just totally laughable.

Oh, and, umm, by the way, I think Mobinga was actually talking about its presence in the Best Picture category.

Best Animated - Toy Story

Best supporting Actress - Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit

Best art direction - Inception vs True Grit

Best actor - Jeff Bridges, True Grit vs Colin Firth, The King's Speech

Christopher Nolan got snubbed in the Best Director category. 

I'm hoping Hans Zimmer will win the Best Original Score for "Inception".

Best Picture will go to either "The King's Speech" or "The Social Network". But its a tough category anyway.  The nominees in this category are better than those selected last year.

@rockers
You forgot to add the BEST VISUAL EFFECTS category.

BEST VISUAL EFFECTS
- ALICE IN WONDERLAND (2010)
- HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART I
- HEREAFTER
- INCEPTION
- IRON MAN 2

The Oscar ceremony will take place on February 27 2011 at The Kodak Theater in Hollywood, California.

I'm disappointed theres no nomination for Julianne Moore. I believe she should have campaigned for best supporting actress, rather than best actress as her role was a bit smaller than Annette Bening, of which Annette Bening should be getting ready for her 4th Oscar loss.

I've also built a cabinet and shipped it to Nashville, Tennessee, where Nicole Kidman would be storing her second Oscar.

Bwhahahahahaha! You lost me at Roger Ebert Do you know your esteemed critic was certain Justin Timberlake would be nominated. Lemme me repeat that. . . Justin Timberlake. . . .Oscar. Huh? Huh? Yeah that's what I thought.

Not disputing that Toy Story made a lot of money or that it was well reviewed but was it Oscar worthy good?

spikedcylinder:

^^^^
Nicole Kidman. *scoffs*. That tree ain't winning sheeeet!
I haven't seen most of these movies sha. Thank you o, silfabed, una do well.

Lmao! I second the bit about NK. Maybe when her forehead starts moving again, we can talk until then. . . .



Yeparipa! I've gone and done it now! Watch Kadman get on my behind for that, dude loves his Kidman and Aniston.

Yikes! Nolan was snubbed. Oh well. I know this is Colin Firth's year so I'm looking forward to him
nicking it .

Now Kidman has got to be kidding ! She isn't going to get nada. Botox robocop.

=-

spikedcylinder:

Lol @ Sisikill and Chika.
Remember what I told you, kadman? The woman is a frigging tree! She once said in an interview that she has 'tried' botox. Tried ehn? She's had it with every meal since she and Tom broke up.

She's one of those actresses you can't even relate to. She seems so unreal and unapproachable.
Tried it my a.s.s like you said I don't think it is just Botox perhaps face lift and things.
Watch her show up to SAG awards on Sunday looking a mess!

You can also add that "TOY STORY" is the 5th highest grossing movie of all time.

Mobinga:

@Mobinga

@kadman
Remember that Natalie Portman and Annette Bening are also strong contenders in the Best Actress category.

"Best Actress"- Natalie Portman-Black Swan. She has no great competition!

Taaa! Sisikill, na lie!!!
I no gree! The people I remember he tipped were Christian Bale, Colin Firth, Andrew Garfield, James Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, Geoffrey Rush and Ryan Gosling, but ne'er e'er Timberlake. If you believe otherwise, oya insert link make I see.
Imagine!! Who be Justin Timberlake? Who dash am? Who born am? Who sire am!? Abegggg!

And speaking of reviews, yes, I believe they do count, because these judges and voters actually are a compilation of actors, critics and directors.

Oh yes!

Are u guys sure of all these nominees?
Though I'm sure of Inception, Harry Potter & the Hallows, The Social Network,
Pls confirm. BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yoh!:

@Yoh!
The nominations are correct.

If you're still in doubt, please visit http://oscar.go.com/nominations

Why did I believe "For colored Girls" would even be considered for any nomination? guess it's not mainstream enough or there are too many dark scenes too watch

It looks like Colin Firth has this Award(Best Actor Oscar)all sewn up. Well the British press seem too think so anyways.

This is Colin Firth's year. He'll surely get it.
Natalie has got it for black swan.
I think Toy Story shouldn't even have been nominated but then again
there aren't that many of them to choose from.

Here's the quote and the link sef

Who'll be nominated?

BY ROGER EBERT / January 23, 2011

The slam dunks for Best Supporting Actor are Christian Bale in “The Fighter,” Geoffrey Rush in “The King's Speech” and Mark Ruffalo in “The Kids Are All Right.” I suspect Justin Timberlake has an excellent chance for “The Social Network,”

He called him wonderful too [img]http://www.allergicliving.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1&sid=6cab282a3d9b8a0a0669aeffcd820717[/img]

Justin timberlake win an Oscar? I think I'll become a superstar first before that ever happens. LOL. When the pigs fly! !!
