2008 Academy Awards

[JTStarkiller]

The Simpsons Movie was robbed .

Who the hell in their right mind would actually prefer Surf's Up over The Simpsons Movie!?

I've stuck with the Academy Awards for many years now, but that's one of the biggest atrocities they've committed.

 

[tzarinna]

Surf's Up was actually rather good.



Daniel Day Lewis will be on Oprah tomorrow along with a bunch of other Oscar nominees.

Meet the Oscar® Nominees

 

[Catman]

Whose should Burton replace then?

Tony Gilroy. The guy who directed Michael Clayton.

Greenwood & Vedder's Scores Ineligible for Oscar

Radiohead rocker Jonny Greenwood and Eddie Vedder both missed out on a Best Score Oscar nomination for There Will Be Blood and Into The Wild, because both soundtracks were ruled ineligible. Many Oscar watchers were left stunned when the rock stars' movie score efforts were seemingly ignored by voters, but Oscar rules left both stars compositions out of the running. Greenwood's music for There Will Be Blood missed out because officials at the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences decided that a large part of it was not written specifically for the film, which picked up eight Oscar nominations on Tuesday . A proportion of the soundtrack was taken from Greenwood's Popcorn Superhet Receiver composition, which was commissioned by the BBC, and won him a British Composer Award in 2007. And Pearl Jam singer Vedder's soundtrack for Sean Penn Into The Wild was also deemed ineligible for an Academy Award nomination - because the score is too "song-based."

Surf's Up was actually rather good.

It's not better than "The Simpsons Movie", and that's the whole point. It seems the Academy voters are all baked out.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Well I just saw Eastern Promises and I'm not opposed to a Viggo victory at all. Plus the nudity will probably help his chances.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

The Simpsons Movie is not nominated? hahahaha


Bulls****

 

[Shuley]

Juno was a good movie...It won't win Best Picture, However, it will win BP at the Independant Spirit awards. No Country For Old Men will win BP.

 

[Kanon]

Hairspray should have been nominated in original song

Dude, I don't care if Enchanted has the 3 best songs ever written in the history of cinema, just give them 2 noms (which is a lot too), and give the other to someone else, even if it doesn't win... just to acknowledge the work of the people involved...

 

[Dark Donnie]

Tony Gilroy. The guy who directed Michael Clayton.

What about Joe Wright...his film is up for Best Picture, and he didn't get nominated.

 

[Hush]

Would it be silly to say that i can't believe that Kevin Costner got over looked in Mr. Brooks or even William Hurt?

 

[Dark Donnie]

I haven't seen the flicks, but probably

I haven't heard Greenwood or Vedder's scores, but that is just bull**** .

 

[cookiva]

Into The Wild's soundtrack is amazing. This is friggin bs. There are plenty of other nominees and winners in past years that were "too song based". That is ridiculous.

 

[Catman]

Hairspray should have been nominated in original song

But none of the songs were original. They were based on the play.

OH MY ****ING GOD. WHAT ABOUT HUSTLE AND FLOW??? 8 MILE????

GO THE **** HOME ACADAMY. YOU KNOW NOTHING.

Best score and best song are two categories.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Why not Best Song then?

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

Aside from American Gangster (which actually kind of sucked) I completely agree.

I think if it wasn't so long, it could've been better.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

The Simpsons movie wasnt all that, so I can understand this.

 

[Milu]

The Simpsons movie wasnt all that, so I can understand this.

And yet Surf's Up ended up a nominee?

 

[E. Nygma]

i really loved Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson's War. I'm hoping he can pull the upset.

Have you seen Into The Wild? Tell me, with a straight face that it doesn't have one of the top 3 scores of any movie this year. I dare you. You can't do it, as that is a blatant lie. Also, do you really think that 3 of the top 5 original songs in any film this year were in Enchanted????

I haven't seen the movie, but the Academy said the score was too song based. Then you mentioned 8 Mile and Hustle & Flow which won best song not best score.

As for Enchanted...the songs were good. Don't be an Alan Menken hater!
