Yeah, all the hyperbole is really getting on my nerves too. So is bashing other Posters, by the way.

It's an awards show. It's all about the hyperbole. That is the whole fun of it. :D
*sigh*
Oh look, someone just very clearly voiced his discomfort with that kind of talk. Couldn't we at least take note of that?

I'm just pulling a FLY for fun. Princess and the Frog is still pretty bad though.

You are incorrect, sir.  And it's not even close.

Really not surprised by any of the nominations, and seeing as it's the Oscars, I'm pretty happy with the noms.

I would agree overall it's not a terrible list.

What were people (general consensus) expecting to be nominated instead of say, The Blind Side (which I'm anxious to see).  Which Best Picture nominees don't overlap with AFI or whatever other thing has a ten picture field?

The Blind Side is actually a good movie, not best picture by any means but good.

The huge omission in Best Picture is Moon.

Nine? Invictus? A Single Man?
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
