Your Pick: 2008 Oscars - Best Picture - Blu-ray Forum

J_UNTITLED · 02-04-2008, 12:14 PM

Out of the above five nominees for Best Picture at this year's 80th Annual Academy Awards, which film do you think is most deserving of the award?

bigpapy · 02-04-2008, 12:47 PM

Michael Clayton

HDJK · 02-04-2008, 12:57 PM

I think it will be decided between Atonement and No Country For Old Men.

cajmoyper · 02-05-2008, 02:38 AM

I miss the days when I used to see almost every movie that was nominated because they were good. Nowadays, they're just getting to be old people movies.

EDIT: I didn't vote for anything.

JasonR · 02-05-2008, 02:39 AM

No Country FTW!!!!!

Blu-dock Saint · 02-05-2008, 04:38 AM

Better be No Country

dgator783 · 02-05-2008, 04:41 AM

There WIll Be Blood... with the upset

Sith · 02-05-2008, 04:42 AM

No Country or There will be blood....

No way Daniel Day Lewis doesn't win best actor though..

coolmilo · 02-05-2008, 05:06 AM

I picked Juno.

I loved No Country and I thought Atonement was OK. But Juno was just terrific. I also hope that Ellen Page wins the Oscar for best actress.

I may change my mind though for best picture because I have not seen Michael Clayton or There Will Be Blood yet. I know that both are excellent films.

ZeeMan84 · 02-05-2008, 05:48 AM

No Country for sure and Javier Bardem for Best Supporting Actor and Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor.

... How is that? I don't see really any difference between films that were nominated in the past versus movies that are nominated now.

Seretur · 02-05-2008, 08:12 AM

Voted for Atonement, although I have yet to see both There Will Be Blood and Juno. I really do love Atonement, and it's criminal that Joe Wright wasn't nominated for Director.

No Country for Old Men and Michael Clayton are both very disappointing exercises in nihilism, although at least the Coens can direct. Still, there is no way I'll bother watching any of these two films again.

Grisle · 02-05-2008, 08:39 AM

There Will Be Blood.

davidthebruce79 · 02-05-2008, 10:38 AM

There will be blood.
It was better than no country, but not much.
And Lewis is a shoe in for best actor.
Bardem for supporting actor.

Blu Titan · 02-05-2008, 11:28 AM

I saw No Country for Old Men on the weekend and it it awsome.

Zarathustra · 02-05-2008, 01:22 PM

Am I the only one who thought Juno is overrated and not that great?
