[Tampa 2 4 life]

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight


Was I the only one who though that movie was ****** and heath ledger was ****** and overacting?

[The Unseen]

Was I the only one who though that movie was ****** and heath ledger was ****** and overacting?

Yes, you're the only one.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Yes, you're the only one.

As usual, everyone is ******** but me.

[Jvig43]

TDK should of gotten a nom for best picture. Good work tho guys.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

TDK should of gotten a nom for best picture. Good work tho guys.

No it shouldn't have. It's a fun popcorn movie that's above average. Stop overrating it you guys.

[Jvig43]

No it shouldn't have. It's a fun popcorn movie that's above average. Stop overrating it you guys.

Everyone has their own opinion. You didnt like it very much, the majority of the world did. to each his own.

[Chucky]

APS, did you actually see Waltz with Bashir?

O ya, and Commie, no way Fincher does not win best director.

[comahan]

APS, did you actually see Waltz with Bashir?

O ya, and Commie, no way Fincher does not win best director.

APS loves him, but hes also been verbally fellating Boyle lately, and Slumdog had no other wins, so I figure he'll go there

[Bruce Banner]

As usual, everyone is ******** but me.

No, you're not the only one.

and slumdog is just, great.

[Chucky]

APS loves him, but hes also been verbally fellating Boyle lately, and Slumdog had no other wins, so I figure he'll go there

But Fincher did fight club, and he will probably want to make a few fight club references and pretend he is tyler durden. Fincher winning is the perfect opportunity to do so.

[A Perfect Score]

you sir, are a fool if you think I am that naive...these awards are serious business! I will make my choices sans homerism and preference.

[adschofield]

Are those the noms...Leo deserved a nom for his performance in Rev Road, JMO

[adschofield]

Commie gave Rev Road a C+, WTF lol

[Jvig43]

Commie gave Rev Road a C+, WTF lol

I dont find that to be that far off. I would prolly give it a B. Acting directing, all fantastic, I just didnt care for how depressing it was. I get the point, it's just I like a little bit of happiness in a movie.

[A Perfect Score]

I dont find that to be that far off. I would prolly give it a B. Acting directing, all fantastic, I just didnt care for how depressing it was. I get the point, it's just I like a little bit of happiness in a movie.

well, it is based off a novel...Richard Yates isnt the happiest author I have ever read. Read the novel first, then come back and tell me its supposed to be happy. It isnt. Thats the entire point of the movie. Rev. Road the novel was called the great gatsby of our time, and I totally agree.

[comahan]

But like, all he'll do is think the book is too depressing. That doesnt make the movie any better.

[comahan]

What time tonight will the winners be announced sir

Right as said below, I wasnt attacking just the movie, the story line was just very depressing. Never once thro the film did I feel anything good was going to work out. The ending truly got me thinking about a on again off again relationship I have with this girl, and it really made me think that even if i could get it into the future, would I really want it? It was a good one watch for me, just not my cup of tea.

[fischbowl]

What time tonight will the winners be announced sir

10 PM Master Commie

WINNERS SOON! :o
