How the hell does the academy nominate the coen brothers and not Christopher Nolan???? How???? Inception got so many good reviews and was a damn near perfect movie. Bad choice AMPAS, bad choice.
shareBecause they thought True Grit was a better directed movie than Inception? Just a thought :p

Toooootally agree with you OP.
"I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is now you're in the world."
the Coen brothers deserved a nomination...Tom Hooper not so much

Inception was far from a perfect movie, but I do agree that Nolan got snubbed. Big time.
sharepart of the problem, in my opinion, is that while most award categories have a 5-nominee limit, but the Best Picture category was revised to have 10 nominees in 2010. You can have 10 Best Picture nominees, but not all the filmmakers will have the ability to get nominated for helming the same films nominated for Best Picture. While I agree that "fairness" would then need to extend to all aspects of production (writers, cinematographer, editors, and actors, etc), I just think this system is very flawed. The reasoning they increased the Best Pic nominees to 10 was to widen the audience demographic, and to accomodate for cases where there are more good quality films worthy of nomination than 5 nominations can hold. Not only do I find it puzzling to see the correlation to tv viewership increase, this system only begs for more criticism.
And allowing one of your hosts to be under-the-influece during the ceremony doesn't help add prestige to the event nor does it engage the show more with the audience.
inception sucked losers. true grit was a better (more mature and coherent) "motion picture." seriously. all the hype of the matrix with .02% the credibility. *beep* CHILDREN these days....INCEPTION, THE SOCIAL Network, the kings speech, ETC were tailored for simple minded people with money to blow. true grit at least was decent entertainment by way of credible acting with a decent story-line, and yes even it had some damn big flaws. *beep* award shows they're good for *beep* when it comes to the public.
the hosts weren't under the influence, they're that stupid. *beep* simple minded people. i appear to have twice the intelligence on a steady stream of mind dissolving chemicals linked to addiction, than 999,999 out of every 1 million hollywooders and yet, somehow, this capitalistic and sensory assaulting regime of actors actresses etc seem to hold more say by way of showing boobies and reading from a script. DIAF you soon to be toothless, homeless or dead *beep* morons.
i watch the award shows to try and convey amnesty of which i truly don't share any. duplicitous FTW.

that's celver especially considering my post date. maybe next time you see a post of his you can instead say hi terminaltrip.
Signature~
remember if you don't have anything nice to say ...you're probably an *beep*
Maybe because True Grit was a film for grown ups, by great directors, and didnt need to resort to the effects so readily employed by lazy directors these days. A film that had all the ingredients - spectacular scenery, great acting and great writing.
shareYeah but Jeff Bridges sounded like Sling Blade in True Grit.
