    I can understand how you'd feel that way. To each his own!

    And yeah...definitely disagree with Brave winning. That, to me, just felt like it won off of Pixar's reputation.

    Life of Pi...very deserving of cinematography and special effects.

    Am I the only person who thinks she's incredibly overrated?

    ...and quite the crazy flake according to black gossip sites.

    overrated? maybe but it doesn't take away from the fact that she is naturally pretty.

    Nope. She's a very good actress who deserved her Oscar for Monster's Ball and her Razzie for Catwoman.

    Oh, and she's kinda cute, too. :grin:

    Best cinematography to a picture that was primarily a digital composite? I thought Skyfall was a better real time photographed film.

    Searching for Sugar Man! Glad it won, if it didn't I was going to hurt someone.

    Not even close. He's doing just fine. Not great, but he's not even close to James Franco's level of bad.

    Or let me rephrase....He's not doing "just fine". He's kind of bombing, but once again, he's not even close to James Franco in my opinion.

    The LA Times did a whole quantitative breakdown last year.

    http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/movies/academy/

    They also wrote some interesting sub articles on it. Like how Lorenzo Lamas, Eric Estrada and Meat Loaf are members and Woody Allen, Viggo Mortensen are not.

    I don't understand why new movies have to be nominated every year, why??? How about have an award show for movies that are timeless??? You know films like, 'Hey Dude where's My Car', 'Billy Madison', and 'Car 54, Where are you?'

    The funny part is there are still 5 times as many minorities in that crowd as there were at the RNC.

    you feel that strongly that the Medea franchise hasn't been getting the recognition it deserves?
