I know I'm not the only one who was bored by this year's oscars, though for a different reason. I didn't know ahead of time who was sure to win, I was just bored by those that did. They didn't deserve to in my opinion. Those who got robbed this year by either getting nominated and losing to the King's Speech et al, or by not getting nominated at all. I'll only cover the categories I care about. Starting from the top:
Best Picture
The Social Network - Best picture of the year. Just accept it.
Inception - Also better than The King's Speech.
Oh and something else, I haven't even seen The King's Speech and I know it wasn't better than The Social Network, just trust me on this. Saying that those who thought it shouldn't have won most likely haven't seen it is bullshit, it wasn't as good, plain and simple. I'm not the only who would say that, if you claim to have never said "I don't even need to see that movie to know it's not as good" or some variation then you're a fucking liar. Just my opinion. Moving on.
Shutter Island - Should've been there to bump King's Speech out.
The American - Should've been there to bump Toy Story 3 out.
Best Actor
Jesse Eisenberg - Colin Firth didn't deserve it, sounded irritating from what I had heard of his performance. Just like Cate Blanchett in The Aviator.
George Clooney - Should've been there to bump Colin Firth or Jeff Bridges out.
Best Supporting Actress
Jackie Weaver - Better than Melissa Leo.
Best Original Song
If I Rise(127 Hours) - Toy Story 3 song wasn't even good.
Best Original Screenplay
Inception - King's Speech? Really? Give me a fucking break, fiction is by nature more original than a true story. Especially a boring one.
Best Adapted Screenplay
The American - should've been nominated at least.
Best Director
Anton Corbijn(The American) - shoud've been there to bump Tom Hooper out.
In short, The American also deserved nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing.
Best Foreign Film
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - I can't even fathom why this didn't get nominated or why no one appears to be upset, it also should've won but the douches needed to nominate it first. This is probably the second biggest snub for this year's oscars in my opinion.
