    A friend of mine was styling Daniel Radcliffe for a Parade shoot and borrowed several pairs of jeans from a denim company I was working for at the time. There was one pair she wanted that we didn't have in his size that I happened to have personally, so I lent her my pair. Mr. Radcliffe ended up liking them so much he paid her full retail for them (after she got permission to sell my pants, of course).



    What I'm saying here is that this box office performance is clearly a result of my magic pants.

    Fucking idiots. The whole bloody point of The Oscars is that it's this supposedly exclusive club where even nominations are reserved for a select few. And now they've thrown it open to wretched plebe films like The Proposal (what, you didn't find the whole love conquers all message to be deeply poignant?) and Wolverine (triumph of the mutant spirit and all that) and made it a celebration of mediocrity.

    If they really wanted to improve their ratings, they'd do a better job of publicizing the more obscure films that got nominated and end the insidery jokes from the host. Also, pay a couple of actresses to wear some really weirdo(but revealing!) outfits and get Triumph The Insult Comic Dog to do the pre-ceremony interviews. Go fuck yourself, Gil Cates. You're a shanda.

    I wonder how many other non-mainstream categories will be jettisoned off the air to accommodate all these extra clip packages? We may never see a documentary or short subject mentioned again...


    One would think that this will force the producers to finally get rid of silly song/dance routines and pointless themed montages, but I wouldn't bet on it.


    Get ready for "Savion Glover's Tapping Tribute to Trek" somewhere in hour 5.

    So a fast-paced, nominee-referential opening number may actually kill someone like Billy Crystal? I'd watch that.

    Wow, we're already half-way through the year. Has there been a movie out yet that could make it on this list? Er, The Hangover?


    There may be problems with this decision.

    It's good business. I, for one, ignored the 1995 Oscars after Judge Dredd got fucked out of a nomination.

    They should just have new Best Picture categories like:


    Best Handicapped

    Best WTF

    Best Foriegn Rip Off

    etc.

    See what's shitty about this is that it is guaranteed half of these ten pictures will be forgotten in fifty years. This was the case when the Academy widened the race back in the 30s. Not only does it dilute the pool, it often raises lesser (but at the time - popular!) films to the top. Terrible decision. Christ I wish the Academy wasn't such a joke.

    @airvault: You don't need 10 nominees for half of them to be forgotten. Do people remember Kiss of the Spider Woman? Prizzi's Honor? Places in the Heart? A Soldier's Story? Congratulations, 40% of the best picture nominees from 24-25 years ago have been forgotten.

    Maybe this will increase the odds of a movie that didn't cost over $5million to get a BP nod?

    @HiredGoons: Someone smarter and less lazy provide this fool with a list of films that prove him wrong, taking the inflation into consideration or not.


    Now if we can find a film from the last ten years with a MARKETING budget less than $5 mil then I'll be impressed.
