Sorry to all of the Lincoln fans but the film was a little too heavy handed for my taste. I liked Silver Linings Playbook a lot but I think it might have too many truly fun moments for the super-serious academy. Regarding Les Miserables, is it just me or does the emperor have no clothes? I cannot believe all of the accolades this snooze fest received! I did think that both Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman were very good in their roles.<br /><br />Having said all of that, I think that Argo may win. I've heard from many a jaded moviegoer that it was fantastic.<br /><br />Thanks for the blog post Samanthe. I always enjoy them.<br /><br />JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953900120565426852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-66996074103036290532013-01-28T13:54:54.134-08:002013-01-28T13:54:54.134-08:00Lincoln was excellent, but the ending's kind o...Lincoln was excellent, but the ending's kind of a downer...<br /><br />And there you have the entire breadth of my Oscar movie personal experience. Planning to see Beasts and Life of Pi and Silver Lining. Les Mis, eventually. Would also like to see Argo.<br /><br />Had lunch with some business contacts and some convers ensued regarding the hairpiece Affleck wore during Argo. But what I and my sick compadre heard/translated was that AFLAC (as in, the annoying duck in the commercials) was wearing a hairpiece. Now whenever I see either an ad for Argo OR an ad for said insurance co, I envision _the AFLAC duck_ wearing a long 70's style wig., and start cracking up. (Or should that be quacking up?)Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-2711609052414342252013-01-28T10:34:42.849-08:002013-01-28T10:34:42.849-08:00Okay, I'm no expert, but here's my picks:
...Okay, I'm no expert, but here's my picks:<br /><br />Best Actor: I'm with Lynne. DDL Although I haven't seen the film.<br />Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence. Haven't seen Silver Linings either, but want to. How about a date and we go see it?<br />Best Film: Either Argo (loved!) or Lincoln (uh, that Mr. Spielberg is like genius, right?)<br /><br />BTW, I loved Django Unchained! Quentin is also genius. Good luck! Do you dress up to attend G&M's party? Oh, and as usual you made me laugh out loud. :) Love your Mondays!Robin Bielmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698398964715542642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-69871626496189963142013-01-28T08:41:03.029-08:002013-01-28T08:41:03.029-08:00Psst...hey you...yeah, over here.
The fix is in ...Psst...hey you...yeah, over here. <br />The fix is in - Hands down Licoln. Best actor - Daniel Day-Lewis.<br />Regarding Brad - that wonderful movies does show a new side of him, and he did a fantastic job. It's just that he's up against, well, Lincoln! DDL will win.<br /><br />I've heard that Amour is the most depressing film on the planet. I think Oscar likes to nominate films like that to prove they are actually much deeper than all the fluff and frilly stuff, but come on! That movie, so I've hard, will put us all on antidepressants.<br /><br />I so want to see Life of Pi but haven't yet.

Shhh. Anyway, I also paid the bucks to see Argo and SLP and liked both. I'd really like to see Argo win something because the writing and acting were great...to be able to instill tension into the viewer when the outcome is already known, that's a feat. <br /><br />My daughter said in watching it with me (yes, I saw it twice) that there were times she was afraid to breathe because she didn't want to miss anything. : )Robena Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389730409379890816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-48028445204137627192013-01-28T06:28:57.137-08:002013-01-28T06:28:57.137-08:00I havne't seen any of the movies, so I'm n...I havne't seen any of the movies, so I'm not help at allJanie Emaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053003978794589095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350875030481313455.post-50273946792265489852013-01-28T05:15:10.866-08:002013-01-28T05:15:10.866-08:00Well, Anne Hathaway won for best supporting actres...Well, Anne Hathaway won for best supporting actress at the SAG awards last night, and ARGO won for best picture...Oh, and Jennifer Lawrence won for best actress...so I'd at least lock those three in on your cheat sheet. <br /><br />Not that I've seen any of these movies either...Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781706524156351106noreply@blogger.com
