I hope you’re right, Joshua. I hope he gets best director and best original screenplay. The Best Supporting actor is pretty much in the bag as far as I can tell. I’ve been wrong before though.
Christoph Waltz is pretty much sure. Best director is almost impossible and Best screenplay, he might have chances but I doubt it, it’d be a surprise if he wins it in the end.
It’s a tough competition: Up In The Air, The Hurt Locker being the heavyweights in this fight, but Basterds is stronger and faster so there will be some knockouts here and there…
Did you see Anne Hathaway in that white outfit, she gave me a boner so early in the morning.
IT has a fantastic ensemble cast, everyone is so good, and the audiences responded so well, even WW II veterans who I’m sure were sick if the whole “Holy Hero” image that has been pigeonholed on them, I’m sure some of them really wanted to fuck up some Nazis to show them who’s boss! I purposely sat next to a WWII veteran who was wearing his hat thing on my fourth view, and the guy laughed when The Bear Jew smashed the Nazi’s head in! This is a film for the people, and there’s always a price to heroism. No one comes clean in the end, because this nation was built on blood that shed in the battle fields, and we don’t always play nice.
Avatar doesn’t hold up without the 3D gimmick, it got some Golden Globes but it sure as hell won’t get any Oscars.
Best Original Screenplay: Inglourious Basterds
*Since 2004 I ain’t ever been wrong about the winners, and it’s just a greatly written epic, hey and it has a new form as well, in terms of how films are structured, this form of structure is hard to master.
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz [a most emphatic: duh]
Best Cinematography -
The various thematic styles of every chapter are well done because they all fit into the whole very well, it doesn’t draw attention to itself and after you see the film you think the cinematography was done by a Greg Toland, it is just magnificent.
[quote=“Mr.Pink”]I think best supporting actor and best original screenplay are the only awards IB will be getting.[/quote]
That is what will happen. I just hope Hurt Locker beats out Avatar for best pic, it’s the only film that has any type of buzz to overthrow that piece of crap.

Im not sure if I would want The Hurt Locker to get best picture instead of Avatar. The Hurt Locker wasnt good, it had no story and was very boring. But I havent seen Avatar and im not planning to so im not sure.
I’m going to make some melted nacho cheese, and I’m gonna make some red kool-aid. Anyone is welcome to come, just bring your own chips - oh and a digital box converter, I smashed mine up to build my time machine. I’m going back in time to meet Bette Davis.
