(I must note, in my opinion there were other supporting actors on par or better than Ledger, but it is pretty much nailed on that the Academy will honour Heath). Performance by an actress in a leading role * Kate Winslet in “The Reader” (The Weinstein Company) Best animated feature film of the year * “WALL-E” (Walt Disney), Andrew Stanton Achievement in cinematography * “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Anthony Dod Mantle Achievement in directing * “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Danny Boyle Best documentary feature * “Man on Wire” (Magnolia Pictures), A Wall to Wall Production, James Marsh and Simon Chinn Best foreign language film of the year * “The Class” (Sony Pictures Classics), A Haut et Court Production, France * “Waltz with Bashir” (Sony Pictures Classics), A Bridgit Folman Film Gang Production, Israel (Hard one to call, but I believe it HAS to be between those two films). Best motion picture of the year * “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), A Celador Films Production,Christian Colson, Producer Adapted screenplay * “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Screenplay by Simon Beaufoy Original screenplay * “Milk” (Focus Features), Written by Dustin Lance Black Also, here are some statistics/facts concerning the list; *While Heath Ledger received a Best Supporting Actor nomination, The Dark Knight did not secure a Best Picture nomination, nor a Best Director nomination for Christopher Nolan. However, it did receive a boatload of other technical nominations, including Best Makeup, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, etc.*The list of Best Picture noms is virtually the same from the Golden Globes, save Revolutionary Road has been replaced by Milk. In any case, I find both Best Picture nomination lists somewhat unsatisfying. *Kate Winslet did NOT get two acting nominations, as some had predicted (instead, only Best Actress, and for her performance in The Reader, not Revolutionary Road like at the Golden Globes). Taraji P. Henson, however, did get a nomination for Best Supporting actress, and I’m 100% rooting for her in this one. *This list puts The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at a whopping 13 Oscar nominations. However, Slumdog Millionaire is close behind, with 10 noms (if you count the two songs separately). Milk and Dark Knight both have 8, while Wall-E, Doubt and Frost/Nixon each secured 5.

Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 No Best Picture or Director nod for Dark Knight? Really? That's quite suprising. I thought for sure Nolan deserved a nod. And RDJr. got a f*cking Oscar nod for Tropic Thunder? Really? Wow. I can't believe I haven't seen any of the Best Picture nominations. I'm going with Mickey for "The Wrestler" for Best Actor. That would be awesome if he won, but I got a feeling Sean is gonna walk away with it.

Vanilla Shake Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Watched them announce it live. Heath's nomination was a given, not only because he did a terrific job but it's also the one year anniversary of his death. And I was a bit pissed that Christopher Nolan didn't get the Best Director nomination. Wasn't shocked that The Dark Knight didn't receive a Best Picture nomination. Oh well.

Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well if the Dark Knight can't get a Best Picture nomination, no superhero movie ever will. f*cking academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Honestly, there's nothing that The Dark Knight could possibly replace in that category. Stop being fanboys for a minute and get the f*ck over it. Why open a topic with YOUR predictions? No one cares about that. Just list the God damn nominees in the OPENING post.

Vercetti21 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think best picture should go to Benjamin Button, along with the adapted screenplay. Although I wasn't surprised by TDK's technical nominations, I would have expected something in the original screenplay category. And what the f*ck is up with Downey getting a nod for Tropic Thunder?

'The Dark Knight' was a good film, but there were other great films, ala 'Milk', 'Slumdog' and 'The Wrestler' among others.

DeeperRed Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am sorry but if SlumDog don't take the oscars then I ain't watching the oscars again because it possible one of the most beautiful, emotional movies evermade. CCOBB was good and all but it was not the same overwhelming emotion ride that SlumDog was. I was suprised TDK didn't get a nomination for best motion picture, not that it should of won but still... suprised EDIT: Also SlumDog managed to have a romantic subplot (an Amazing one at that) without it feeling awkward and wedged in like most films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) "nods" - does this drive anyone else crazy? I don't think anyone really expected a best picture or director from Dark Knight. Maybe script, yes, but then again the category is flooded with talent. What pisses me off is that, despite only THREE best song nominations, not one mention of Springsteen. Could it be a technicality, because the song only really played over the black space at the end? I should think not. A damned travesty. Also, at Deeper Red - Slumdog was great, but not that great. It has some serious competition. Edited January 22, 2009 by Otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the nom for hellboy 2's FX. The stuff they did with the puppets and how many different monsters and whatnot they created was amazing, but it'll lose to Button no doubt.

DeeperRed Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Also, at Deeper Red - Slumdog was great, but not that great. It has some serious competition. To me I don't think so, Ive seen all of them but The Reader and I have to say none of them left me with the feeling of Slumdog did I laughed, Cryed, Celebrated, Sat on the bleeding edge of my seat. The Film had everything Amazing Cinemotography, Amazing Story, Amazing Acting, Amazing Music, Amazing Scenery. None of the other films had all of that (Can't say for the The reader) The Film covered so many little story that had the young boys travling all across India, it had so many diffrent senieros that all effected each other. Can't say for The Reader but Slumdog is certainly a better film then the other 3 It certianly has to win best Cinemotography and Director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd play your game for once. It seems fun. Oh, and the Scottish animosity came from an overdue reaction to the fact that Dundee United are quite...sh*te, especially when I have a large body of money placed upon them (that, and I don't take well to f**king suggestions).

Scarface187 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 No Gran Torino? f*ck that. Also really surprised Robert Downey Jr. got nominated for Tropic Thunder, that is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 No Gran Torino? f*ck that. Also really surprised Robert Downey Jr. got nominated for Tropic Thunder, that is awesome. Yeah, he's awesome (I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as some other dude). But still, the Oscar will go to Heath Ledger probably. Heath, or Downey. I don't really care, which is strange. They are both great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Robert Downey Jr. made that movie. Elevated it to a pretty decent flick. Still, definitely the biggest surprise in the nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So far tonight, the winners are: Best Animated Feature Film of the Year Winner: WALL·E (2008) - Andrew Stanton Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published Winner: Slumdog Millionaire (2008) - Simon Beaufoy Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen Winner: Milk (2008/I) - Dustin Lance Black Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Winner: Penélope Cruz for Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshyft Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have a hammer with a Stanley blade cellotaped to it, you know. Sure you don't mean... scotch-taped? Oh, hohoho. I'm totally not surprised that DK wasn't nominated. In fact, I'm sure I said it wouldn't be nominated in the actual topic some time ago. It was a great film, and was one of the most visually stunning films to come out last year, but it really couldn't take the place of anything else on the list. I'm not entirely sure at this point where I stand in regards to Ledger winning the supporting actor Oscar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface187 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not entirely sure at this point where I stand in regards to Ledger winning the supporting actor Oscar... My friend who's been sucking Heath Ledger's dick since the movie came out is completely surprised. Me on the other hand, its not that all surprising. I wanted Robert Downey Jr. to win to be honest. Out of all the things Dark Knight wasn't nominated for the one thing I really would of loved for it to be nominated for would be best original score. The music is one of the most memorable things from the movie I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The biggest upset, as far as I'm concerned, was the neglection of the Boss. Otherwise, things have gone pretty much as to be expected - 10:1 Slumdog walks away with best picture now that Boyle's taken director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hellboy 2 not winning for best makeup is a big bummer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah, but honestly, the sh*t done in Benjamin Button was top notch. I did think that Dance with Bashir was going to win, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah, but honestly, the sh*t done in Benjamin Button was top notch. I did think that Dance with Bashir was going to win, however.

TheJonesy Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not entirely sure at this point where I stand in regards to Ledger winning the supporting actor Oscar... My friend who's been sucking Heath Ledger's dick since the movie came out is completely surprised. That, unfortunately, sums me up. It was a performance I truly enjoyed and am not afraid to say that Ledger deserves it. I don't support it just because of his death yet could give a sh*t if someone thought I did. I've always been a huge Batman fan, so seeing one be practically Oscar worthy makes me so happy. Some of the things Downy Jr has said makes Ledger's victory more appealing to me, as well. I even jokingly complained about TDK not being nominated for Costume Design since it has been the first time in movie history that his head could be turned. But I do agree with you on the disappointment of the Original Score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti21 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 ...and so Slumdog wins it. Eh, I still need to see it. Loved Benjamin Button though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Haha, what was with that Citizen Kane moment? Hehe, yeah, I picked up on that too. Bit of revisionist history, perhaps? Although, were all those clips winners, or just nominees? Anyhow, little amazed the Penn beat out Rourke, but I haven't seen Milk yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
