    I need someone to explain why "Milk" is considered such a great film. The movie tries to portray him as some sort of martyr for gay rights, when in fact, he and the mayor were gunned down by a disgruntled ex-colleague who was upset about losing his job. The fact that Milk just-so-happened to be gay was immaterial to why he was killed. I would definitely say he was an incredible champion of gay rights, but a man who died for his cause, no. That said, I think Sean Penn gave a great performance. The movie overall though.... meh, not so special. Just my opinion folks... just my opinion...

    @pooks: are you serious? i haven't seen "milk" but are you actually serious about what you just said? i mean, if you can't figure out why his death is actually immaterial to why he's considered a gay rights martyr/icon then there's no fucking hope for you to ever get it.

    OMFG there is a MAJOR omission from this list:


    Michelle Williams for her performance in indie hit "Wendy and Lucy" (which also deserves a best director nod and perhaps even a best movie nod).


    Two out of the three movie critics for the NYT named Michelle as one of the actresses who deserved a best actress nomination this year (for Wendy and Lucy).


    A truly astonishing film. And only 80 minutes long. It ought to win an oscar ust for that.


    (I suspect the Academy Awards are going to turn into a popularity contest..in order to boost sagging ratings...so the truly great movies will be overshadowed by whatever they think will lead more people to watch the telecast).

    Throwing in Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson for a tandem jilted, loser-licious, public pity-fest of ricotta cheese and movie pap about dogs, babies, and other things these lonesome doves won't ever have, award.

    Why is that Benjamin Button getting anything? That movie was an incredibly boring Forest Gump-like film It lost all its entertainment value after the first hour. Then it was all boring, drawn out drama. Was there anyone else screaming at the scream, telling that old crow to fucking die already and end the goddamn movie?!

    I just saw "The Visitor" two nights ago on dvd. It was AMAZING! Richard Jenkins was good, however I can't compare his performance to previous roles so I don't know how much of it was "acting" or him just being "Richard Jenkins". I do think that the guy actor Haaz Sleiman (google image him) who played Tarek deserves a nod for supporting actor and not just cuz he is way hotter than any new actor to come along last year. Yes, I am talking to you Robert Pattinson.

    Who knew, that Kate W. whom I could only imagine as a vapid poseur who carries her femininity like a heavy fur coat she inherited from her grandmother could turn into an actually fuckable woman whose sexuality burns through her skin from the fire within?

    What do we think of Anne Hathaway in Rachel? I can't decide if I thought she was actually good or just surprised that she wasn't horrible in something other than fluff.

    The acting oscars of late tend to be awarded to whoever goes ugly ( or plays a dead famous person (Bonus points for playing an ugly dead famous person - see: Nicole Kidman in the Hours, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote, Forrest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland, Charlize Theron in Monster, Marianne Cotillard in La Vie en Rose).


    Which of course leaves me lost as to predictions for this year.

    Best Actor has Harvey Milk (dead, famous), Richard Nixon (dead, famous, ugly) and Mickey Rourke's Wrestler (ugly). Even playing field.

    Best Actress has no dead famous people, and a serious lack of uglification.

    Mortal Lock: Heath Ledger. Ugly played by a dead famous person.


    And Wall-E was the best movie of the year.

    Frost/Nixon??? No...It's so fucking bad - the English don't get why Nixon was such a MF and Ron Howard is obsessed with haircuts.

    I thought "Milk" was perfectly done as a film, pacing, writing, acting, cinematography -- all of a piece.

    My vote is for Milk for Best Picture and Best Actor because I started crying less than 5 minutes into the movie. Isn't the number of tears how you judge an Oscar worthy movie?

    @Lymed: i must admit the end scene did make me tear up. and josh brolin did a magnificent job making me feel for a murderer. milk surprised me as biopics aren't usually my favorite genre. the movie was well done even though some of sean's facial expressions brought me back to i am sam
