Oscar Nominations
Date: January 25, 2011 09:58AM

Why the fuck did they ever go to 10 Nominations for "Best Picture." I mean, remember when the pickings of good pictures were so few that "Ghost" was nominated? Or "The Full Monty?" Or "Little Miss Sunshine?"

The whole premise is to increase the number of nominations to include some really good summer "mainstream" flicks such as The Dark Knight. That's what America wants evidentially - more Avatar and Batman and less Like Water for Chocolate or My Left Foot (shit that NOBODY sees).

Jack Ass 3D should have got Best Pic. Secretariat was good and will soon be released on DVD.Did it get any noms? I haven't been to the theatre in well over a year.There just isn't anything worth the hassle. James Cameron is a faggot so he sucks. I'll have to check out Water for Choc. and My left Foot.

I haven't seen the King's Speech yet, will watch it soon. I thought this year the films were kind of slim in terms of what I'd call great. Jackass was definitely great...I mean honestly Toy Story 3..wtf!

Another kind of WTF nomination was Kyndontas (Greek for Dog Tooth) it was a kind of fucked up film - never would have thought that film would be nominated.
