Grand Torino

We saw it tonight, I thought it was great and wonder why it got no nominations for best movie/actor. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think?

Re: Grand Torino

  • We saw it a couple of weeks ago.  Really one of the best movies I have seen in a while.  I can't believe it didn't get any nominations either.  I wish I had known to take tissues with me...I cried through some parts of it.  Definitely a great movie Smile
  • I watched it last weekend, I thought it was so good. I love Clint Eastwood. I was hoping it wouldn't end the way it did, God, I boo hooed, lol.

    The part that got me was when the police said that he didn't even have a weapon on him, so he went knowing what would happen... *sob* lol.

  • Blonde me too!!  I cried so hard during that part!!
  • Oh I loved it!  I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood in general... he has made some great movies and is so talented.  Can you believe he is 78? 

    Anyway, I'm not sure why it wasn't nominated... I would have thought that Clint would have gotten a best director or actor nom as well as the actors that played Thao and Sue for supporting actor... at least at the Golden Globes if not the Oscars.

    I think that he did a superb job of translating that story into a movie.  It could have been cheesy or overly violent, but I think it was just right.

  • I have not be to see it but I really want to! My dad, who typically does not enjoy movies at all, went to it and loved it so much that is going to it again tonight. I never, EVER remember him seeing the same movie twice.

  • We LOVED Gran Torino. I was surprised it didn't get any nominations.

    Clint Eastwood is a bad @ss.

    The original Bad A$$  even at 78... I would not want him mad at me.

  • I think Clint really got screwed over with this one...it was a great movie and to get no nominations...something is strange. The actor who played Tao and the actress who played Sue were great too.
