I thought The Road was great. Did a very good job of building a dark, isolated atmosphere, with an overwhelming sense of dread. Even if you did not like the film, how could you possibly think Viggo was not good in that role? I thought he was fantastic; he conveyed a lot of emotion when necessary and was stoic when he needed to be, and even brutal at times. Could be the best thing about the film really, without Viggo I’m not sure I would have liked it as much as I did.

Well yes Goon but it doesn’t seem right. Seems like the doings of some “hard pipe hittin” P.R firm thugs…Meant to say that I am really looking forward to seeing “Up in the air” I think I might be a Clooney fanboy now? I haven’t seen the Goat movie but aside from that I can’t think of much he’s done that I haven’t really liked.

I don’t think the Road deserves any recognition. In my opinion, it’s a very poorly directed film, without any outstanding acting from any party (especially Viggo Mortenson, who brought little heart to the role). Cormac McCarthy is a tremendously difficult author to adapt, and I don’t think John Hillcoat successfully expanded upon anything from the novel. Best director should go to either Reitman or Bigelow.

how did “Avatar” get in for best feature when it isn’t even in theaters yet? ya ok so maybe it finished before the year end but seriously. Glad to see the “Hurt Locker” getting some love, haven’t seen it yet but I have a special love for Kathryn Bigelow (and not because she is Deuce’s sister) even though I haven’t seen it yet I have heard nothing but good about it. I.B was the best film I saw in 2009.

I suppose so, but he is the first one I think of when I think of this film and in terms of screen I think he may have the had the most of anyone by a good amount.

Point taken though.

Basterds was such an ensemble you could call everyone in it supporting. I wish Melanie Laurent was nominated for that film too.

Bah, Waltz should be up for best actor, not supporting!
Hope that gets changed for the Oscars, he was crazy awesome.
