I kinda get the feeling that this might be the year that Sandy Bullock gets her Oscar. Then again, though Meryl has been endlessly nominated, she hasn't won for a while and she's recently proved herself a big box office star so she could collect one here.

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.

Well, my blitz served me well, but I still want to see:
The Messenger
Crazy Heart
A Single Man
In the Loop
I'll probabably try to see:
Invictus
The Last Station
The Blind Side
I'm bummed Avatar and Nine hit so many categories, because I still have no interest in seeing them. At least The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds got almost as many as Avatar. (8 vs. 9).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What is this one and why is it cheating? Did Sheppard play a younger version of the same character as Hoskins in the same movie?
Oh, nothing so honourable. This is base cheatery and there's no denying it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ETA: What is In the Loop?
OH MY GOD YOU MUST SEE THIS.
It is, hands down, the funniest movie I saw all year. The writing is so sharp you could cut yourself on it. It's brilliant.

District 9 is an amazing movie. I've actually got two I'm rooting for.

I want to see Crazy Heart. I like it when Jeff Bridges sings.

I figure I'll have to see Avatar at some point, just to see what all the hullaballou (or however you spell it) is about.
I have Inglourious Basterds and District 9 sitting at home from Netflix, and The Hurt Locker and In the Loop at the top of the queue. After that, I'd have seen... er, 6 out of the BP nominees? (I've seen Up, Up in the Air and An Education).
I have never even heard of The Last Station.

Serial: I'm a bit puzzled about In the Loop being in the adapted, not original, screenplay category. I mean, OK, it was based on the TV series, but the exact same writers wrote a whole new script just for the big screen, right? (Unless they took an episode they've done already for the TV and expanded on it.) Wouldn't it make it an original screenplay?

I think it only went into limited release in January. I don't think it's made it into very many theatres.

They played TOTALLY DIFFERENT characters named Badger.
