Jack Aubrey Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Inception did not win, therefore it was indeed an epic fail! I haven't been this disappointed since The Return of the King beat Master and Commander! This served as irrefutable proof that the Oscar judges have their heads firmly implanted in their butts!

Ted Barchetta Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I was dissapointed that True Grit didn't win anything. True Grit was one of the best films i've ever seen. Perfectly executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Grit was one of the best films i've ever seen. Perfectly executed. My thoughts exactly. Even though Jeff Bridges won last year, he did an awesome job in True Grit and I think he deserved another win! f**k The King's Speech! I'm pretty sure James Franco was taking bong hits inbetween segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Anne Hathaway was charming. James Franco was dead wood. Not a good host pairing. Though, the opening video with them and Alec Baldwin and Morgan Freeman was well done and funny.

The Mighty Dudad Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 QUOTE (rummut71 @ Feb 28 2011, 02:57 PM) WORST OSCARS EVERRRR!!!! </thread> I thought Anne Hathaway started off good (she was certainly plucky and enthusiastic), but James Franco was channeling his character from the Pineapple Express. Of course, Melissa Leo's f-bomb certainly livened things up for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I usually really enjoy the ceremony, but Anne Hathaway and James Franco, while likable and charming, really didn't cut it at all. Seriously, bring back a comedian. I agree - epic fail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Inception was great, but a bit overrated. I'd only seen two of the other nominees; The Social Network and The Kids Are Alright, and I thought both of those were better movies. Gotta see The King's Speech... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 For those complaining about Inception not winning best picture... I can't honestly see a scifi ever winning. It just doesn't happen hardly at all. I'm glad it got a nomination, though! (Not that I'm surprised.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some will say "Inception" got a Best Picture nom only because they expanded the field to ten films. I think it had a good shot at a nom if there were only five slots, but we'll never know. Just as impressive -- if not moreso -- is that "Inception" also got a nom for Best Original Screenplay. That speaks volumes for what a quality film it was.

RushHour Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Melissa Leo is just another attention seeking idiot. No one will ever invite her to a live telecast again. I read somewhere that she's like 50. It's amazing that she's getting any roles at all at her age. Edited March 1, 2011 by RushHour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked "Matrix" too. It was one of those groundbreaking films that influenced a lot of other movies. "Inception" is very much like that. Both are very inventive and original. And again, I point you to "Inception's" Best Screenplay nomination. Only five films in that category. Did "Matrix" get a screenplay nom? *looking on imdb.com* ....nope.
