Academy Awards
Im not sure how many people actually watch the Academy Awards. I understand how boring it can get listening to all the acceptance speeches. Being that I am a big movie fan I look upon the Academy Awards as the Super Bowl of the 2010 Movie year. Of the 10 Movies that are nominated for best picture I have only seen 7 of them but I would have to say that I hope 'The King's Speech' wins! I truely enjoyed this film and I think it is very deserving of all its nominations. I also really liked Inception, Black Swan, and True Grit. The Fighter I liked but not as much as the others I mentioned. That leads me to The Social Network. Not sure what it was about this film but I just dont understand all the praises that it has been getting. I thought it was a good, well made film but it just didnt have the same effect on me as the others. I will be rooting for The King's Speech and Colin Firth come Sunday Night.

I do not watch the academy awards, they are long, they do not get to the good awards until past my bedtime now that I am on the East Coast, and they lack Ricky Gervais. Not that I watched that awards show either. As I have stated on many occasions, I never go to movies. The last move I saw in the theater was... well... not a movie. It was the live broadcast of "This American Life" and before that was "The Hangover". So I have to wait for movies on Netflix, and I rarely race them to the top of my queue. I have seen The Kids Are Alright and Inception and enjoyed them both. 7 of the other movies are on my queue. The only one not on my list is The Social Network. I am sure I will see it on HBO or something at some future time.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would let you know the final vote totals. I do not need to know who finished 10th, but it would be exciting to see 3rd, 2nd and then 1st announced. And which movie won by the closest margin in history.
