  magical spells really work!! I never thought there were still honest, genuine, trustworthy and very powerful spell casters until i met the spiritual helper, MERUJA OWO. last week he did a love spell for me and it worked effectively and now he just casted another healing spell for my friend who has fibroid and family problem and now she is totally free and she is presently the happiest person on earth, she keeps thanking me all day.. I just thought it would be good to tell the whole world about his good work and how genuine he is, i wasn't thinking i could get any help because of my past experiences with other fake casters who could not bring my husband back to me and they all promised heaven and earth and all they are able to do is ask for more money all the time until i met with this man. he does all spells, Love spells, money spells, lottery spells e.t.c i wish i can save every one who is in those casters trap right now because i went though hell thinking and hoping they could help me.i recommend MERUJA OWO for any kind of help you want. his email address is: nativedoctor101@live.com if you want to ask me anything my e-mail is: jannet_madeson@yahoo.com Kind Regards,

  War Horse deserves more credit than it has been given. It should definitly snag best sound mixing and best cinematagrophy and/or best picture. It was corny in some spots but it relieved an inspiring message and really was a genuinely good movie.

  Many people here commenting on movies apparently cannot spell words they use every day, nor form coherent sentences in the English language. Therefore, their opinion on movies should be disregarded, as would be a load of crap.

  Viola looks stunning. Minnie awesome girl. You look beautiful. J. Lo you'd have to convince me that you have twins. You look untampered. Glen Close just an amazing transformation. You deserve the best always. George Clooney that's all I have to say. Can't forget Brad. I mean who could. You're everywhere and you're eye candy thank you for all the talent. Such wonderful movies.

  Viola Davis is an excellent actress. She gets me every scene she shows up. But there's no way she would be superior to Meryl Streep. No one can portray the most powerful PM of Britain. They casted her, 'american actress' while there're so many great british actress with a real british accent. Meryl could do what Viola simply did in The Help. But Viola couldn't do what Meryl did in The Iron Lady. If Viola won, which she seems to, she would join the list the actress who should have not won Best Actress like Gwyneth Paltrow (rob Cate Blanchett), Julia Roberts(rob Ellen Burstyn), Reese Witherspoon(rob Felicity Huffman), Sandra Bullock(rob Gabourey Sidibe). Period.

• scharere | February 26, 2012 11:58 PM

  Thank you for pointing out that Cate Blanchett was robbed! Since then I've never been able to take the Oscars seriously.

• Film50 | February 24, 2012 5:23 PMReply

  With all respect, Viola Davis was 'a help', not a leader. Should not have been in the Best actress category (of any award).

• Eric | February 24, 2012 4:56 PMReply

  While it is true that the Oscars don't always nominate the best films, I feel their nominations do, typically, go to good films. However, I was confused by the inclusion of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and "War Horse." Neither of these films are Oscar-worthy, especially in a year where so many quality films were snubbed. The fact that Stephen Daldry's exploitative tear-jerker gets a nod when the excellent "Drive" was completely ignored is, in my opinion, an absolute embarrassment to the Academy. And "War Horse" was typical Spielbergian over-the-topness. Are the Oscars the new Grammys?

• ugo straniero | February 24, 2012 5:41 AMReply

  I think the best actress is Glenn Close in the film Albert Nobbs, with Janet McTree always in the sam film.

• Dan | February 23, 2012 9:23 PMReply

  The Artist is a trivial, totally predictable, gimmicky but mildly attractive movie, but has no business being considered a Best movie. 80 + years later, somebody made a reasonably competent, pleasant silent movie. A Nice trifle. But this year there were at least a half dozen Much better movies, i.e. more thought-provoking, better acted and directed, with actual plots. For example, Hugo, The Descendants, Moneyball, The Help, and I personally liked much more Tree of Life, Melancholia, and The Adjustment Bureau. But I guess they are only talkies, as far as Hollywood cares.

• Dan | February 24, 2012 7:47 AM

  Further follow-up: With all due respect to the other very good movies I mention above [Not the Artist], my easy selection as Best Movie of the Year would be Hugo. As a movie about silent movies, and Cinema, compared to the trivial Artist, it is vastly more interesting, inspired, visually dynamic and stimulating, much better music, much better acted and directed. Ben Kingsley should have been nominated for it. As a fan of many of Scorsese's movies, I predict that in 20 or 50 years Hugo will be considered one of the Master's very best.

  To realize how ridiculous the Oscars are (as people like George C. Scott did turning down two best actor awards; other notable no shows = woody allen; marlin brando) you only have to rem ember that Rocky was chosen best picture over what continues to be regarded as a masterpiece, Taxi Driver. The Oscars are midly entertaining, but are a true joke in terms of a measure of the craft.

• Susan c | February 14, 2012 4:05 PMReply

  I have to agree with everyone here , the academy awards are just not logical or even worth watching any more , I stopped taking it serious when Avatar lost there butt to the hurt locker , Really , no one I knew when back to the theater to watch hurt locker over and over ,as did so many people with avatar ,,, but they hate the man who is better then them in film making and cast there voite els were ,

• David | February 25, 2012 4:22 PM

  The Hurt Locker was a spellbinding, timely, heart pounding drama about a REAL situation happening as we speak, the characters based on true people, incredibly original and complex. No fancy sets or spectacles, it was every movement of each character's face and the tauntness of dialogue coming from their do or die situation and the relationship therein that held up captive through every moment; whereas, Avatar was a technical, formulaic "spectacle" [look it up]. We are awash now in these spectacles thanks to technology, and most movies today cater to the masses with spectacle, offering little in the way of substance and "content" -- though I would consider Avatar a step above that cliche, as nobody does "special effects" set against a sentimental love story sub plot as well as James Cameron. So, yeah, Avatar was a very enjoyable and entertaining film that I would see again and it had lots of eye candy and action, but just because people went to the movies over and over again to see Avatar [probably high on drugs, hoping to glean a far-out experience, man] -- doesn't equal movie greatness -- only "cult" movie status, BIG DIFFERENCE. I appreciate that you may be movie lovers and know what you personally like, you are obviously not aware of what makes a great film.

• Archie_Leach | February 18, 2012 5:26 PM

  crapatar didn't get BP cause cameron took a technically great movie and inserted a simpleton manipulative "shove-the-message-in-your-face" propagandistic storyline into it and it turned a LOT of people off from crapatar. Not that The Hurt Locker is Citizen Kane or something but only 2 years later crapatar is not holding up well and will never get on any film historians list of great films I can guarantee you. The Hurt Locker may not age well either but it's reputation will never drop like craptars is.

• One Love | February 10, 2012 2:16 PMReply

  The Academy Awards will slowly be forgotten within years to come due to the fact that the Oscar officials and voters no longer vote for the best, they just vote for who they like to see win... In the acting category, one should vote base on transformation and ability to execute an outstanding performance. Then again, in recent years many good performance were overlook and not acknowledge which account for the decreasing popularity of the Oscars. One can honestly say that the Academy Awards is no longer valid nor does it marks a person position in the Film Industry. The Academy Award can prevent this from occurring by changing the pattern to which films are nominated and process of electing a winners. In short terms, change the length of voters allowed to vote, instead of more than 5000 voters where bias votes exist, why not allow a minimum of 150 voters to prevent racial and bias votes from occurring and make it more considerable. That is of-course my opinion on the Academy Awards which i believe will sooner disappear from the public image. One more thing, the Oscars will never have as much rating as the Super Bowl.................................................

• Bull | February 10, 2012 1:09 PMReply

  My wife an I have recently completed watching most of the nominees. We were quite surprised how slow/lengthy/dragged down three of the notable nominess became about 2/3 thru. "My Week w/Marilyn", "Hugo" and "The Artist" just didn't have the content to support the length of the film, which REALLY surprised me mostly from Scorcese. We are particularly amused (and to some extent, saddened) the the shallow Hollywood rush to this year's great gimmick: "The Artist". Look, it was enjoyable, but really? In our minds, the Best Picture is either "The Help" or "The Descendants", but hmmm..., no gimmick. There's no question that this year SHOULD BE George Clooney's year for best actor. If Clooney doesn't win, then it will be very similar to Cheryl's comment below, when somehow Cher beat out Glenn Close in one of Close's best (if not the best) role of her life. As I recall "Hollywood" said it was for Cher's "Body of Work". It really is sad how shallow Hollywood can be. We're pulling for you Geroge! Maybe you'll get some respect for YOUR body of work. But, who knows with the fickle, silly Hollywood crowd.

  i stopped really taking the oscars seriously after adrian brody beat daniel day-lewis in 2003. that made absolutely no logical sense to me. one man slightly altered his accent and acted nervous and emotional, and one actor transformed every single thing about themselves to unbelievable lengths. and the former won the award. i still cant get over it

• Jerry Cabot | February 15, 2012 9:44 AM

  Adrien Brody was perfect in The Pianist as it was Day- Lewis in There Will be Blood. I still remember Brody in that movie and sometime want other actors to be that good or maybe himself again.

• unkie469 | February 12, 2012 9:29 PM

  The fact that Take Shelter has recieved little to no attention in the awards season sickens me, such a quality piece of work deserves recognition. Michael Shannon's performance is so far above anything else ive seen this year and the fact that he hasnt atleast received a nomination, has for me, detracted completely from the majesty of these awards...

• mikey | February 24, 2012 12:52 AM

  A correction to one of my comments about the great original music score from "The Artist". It was not the musical piece by Bernard Hermann from the Hitchcock film "Vertigo". It was from "North by Northwest" when Cary Grant was sneaking up on James Mason's compound near Mt. Rushmore to rescue Eva Marie Saint.

• Gary B. | February 7, 2012 1:33 AMReply

  "The Artist" should get the award for "Biggest Artistic Gimmick of the Year". It was not a bad movie and an okay tribute to the silent era but why Best Picture nominee? I'm amazed at how many people loved this film and think it's so original. First of all it's "A Star is Born" done for the fourth time (they've tried to give that storyline the Best Picture Oscar before). Secondly, these comments I've read about how great the music was. Is it just me that noticed that they borrowed music by Bernard Hermann from the Alfred Hitchcock film "Vertigo" towards the climax of the film? I was expecting something unique for a silent film to be done in 2012 but it never came. I felt it was an average retro film. For those of you who love this so much, just turn on Turner Classic Movies on Sunday evenings. There are many original silent films that are far better than this one.

• JERRY JARAMILLO | February 3, 2012 11:40 PMReply

  los miembros de la academia, se han ensañado en tres ocaciones con Glenn Close negandole el derecho a reclamar el galardon.¿para que nominan a tan exelente actiz si no la van a ratificar como lo que es,? la mejor de todas las actrices. Araccion Fatal, Relaciones Peligrosas,Hamlet, La Casa de los Espiritus. son algunas de las grandes injusticias que se han cometido contra ella y sus maravillosos personajes, ojala este año con Albert Noobs la academia por fin deje sus intereses y reconosca todos los errores pasados para con esta espectacular mujer y actriz. por ultimo pienso que la mismisima Meryl Strep reconoce que Glenn Close hace demaciado tiempo tendria que haber ganado un Oscar de la Academia.

  I'm curious as to why the IN logo was so prominently shown at the beginning of Hugo, and Johnny Depp's name was in the credits at the end as one of the producers, yet he's never mentioned in any of these award nominations--the only two ever mentioned are Scorcese and King.

• Rich | January 26, 2012 8:04 AMReply

  Everyone is missing the point. Our views and opinions on films and performances are highly personal and formed from our own emotional experiences and capabilities to think. It just so happens that these are the nominees based on the personal views of Academy Members and therefore all the criticism and backlash coming from critics and fans for the likes of Shame, We Need To Talk About Kevin etc is a little ill-thought out about what it is about films that draws us in to them in the first place.
