Picks for Oscars
Dec. 11, 2009

It's nearing that time again. What time is that? When we choose our picks for the Oscars.
The folks over at Movie City News have put together their comprehensive list of nominees from various critics. Here is what they have thus far:
2.) PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE
What do you think of this list? Is there a movie that should be in this top ten, but isn't? In January, the Golden Schmoes will start up again and it will be your turn to vote for what you deem worthy. For the rest of the list from Movie City, head on over here. The 82nd Academy Awards will air March 7, 2010.

Extra Tidbit: I haven't seen Jeff Bridges performance for CRAZY HEART, but I really hope he gets nominated.

I've seen 4 of the ones in the top 10 and The Hurt Locker seems to be the best. The first woman to win Best Director can (and should) be Kathryn Bigelow.

I think critics are too snobby when it comes to judging movies. They seem to think all movies should/do intend the same out comes, in which ways they do, selling a lot of box office tickets. However they don't judge movies relevant to their content alot of times. They seem to place one standard that every movie should live up to. I mean action is action,...

First of all, I don't think INVICTUS, INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, NINE and UP IN THE AIR deserves the nominations in first place. With all due respect to their cast and crew.
The most important film is not listed. I am talking about THE ROAD.
So...

And though I haven't seen them yet, given the buzz surrounding them, Moon, The Road, The Lovely Bones, and Where The Wild Things Are should probably be up there.

Personally, I'm just hoping that Sharlto Copley gets an acting nod.

Moon, however, does belong on this list up at the top.
