(Why, how silly--Of COURSE it is.
And we'll be happy to remind you of that when the actual movies finally come out. )

Yeah I have to agree. 90% of the films on your list haven't been released yet.

Watching The Academy Awards is a waste of time. and they are nothing like they use to be years ago, when the actors, and actresses really deserved their Oscars. I haven't watched The Academy Award in 20 years!

I think Drive deserves best Cinematography, and Nick Nolte for Best Supporting Actor for Warrior

Have you seen the trailer for War Horse? That looks like it's going to have amazing cinematograhpy. Drive had a great cinematographythough. I loved the look.

Everytime I watch the Oscars, I end up swearing endlessly at the TV for snubbing the better movies.

Exactly! Which is one of the main reasons why I don't watch them anymore. When Cher won for: Moonstruck over Glenn Close for: Fatal Attraction in 1987, I was furious! I was through with The Academy Awards forever.

I disagree with that. Poltics always was a major player in Hollywood and even some actors and actress 20 + years ago did not deserve the Oscars they won

I agree.

Fassbender and Ryan Gosling snubbed, rediculious!!

[newginafets]

I havent watched anything from ur best picture list

[Jasonic]

For Animation category, I think their will only be 3 again this year.
Rango
Kung Fu Panda 2
Tintin


Though considering Happy Feet did win the award, the sequel this year may have a chance, but the movie just does not look promising. They got too much of the hip hop crap going on with it.
If it does go back up to 5 again this year, then I would probably put that and Winnie the Pooh up there, or maybe Cars 2 if HF2 is complete crap.

J. Edgar will be nominated for best picture.

I was thinking the same thing. Other then shortly owning what became Pixar he should have not been on there imo.
