Children of Men didn't get any Oscar nominations. It should have at the least gotten a cinematography nod.
edit: that's Children, not City. Duh.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wasn't Children of Men up for something? I thought it did get a nod for Cinematography.
ETA: It got 3. Cinematography, Adapted Screenplay, and Editing.

Our wings are not tired.
I loved both City of God and Children of Men and I get those titles mixed up all of the time.

I have been mainlining movies what with the new gig.
2 I most def recommend-Pontypool & Allegro Non Troppo.
The first is a smart semi-zombie dark humor thing (I say semi-zombie, because they are not, in fact reanimated dead people, and I found it humorous though I can see where someone else might not)
The second is the anti-Fantasia and is going in my top 5.

Allegro Non Troppo
Love that!! I fear I can never watch it again, because the episode with the kitten broke me when I saw it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
2012 is 158 minutes long? Holy crap.
And Danny Glover plays the President? Do these people have no sense of irony?

Killer frost, Dana. Does that answer your question?
