My thoughts exactly. I love, love, loved that movie and everyone in it. It was awesome. I also saw & enjoyed The Social network, but I'm really annoyed that it's a favorite for best pic over The King's Speech. I didn't see Black Swan & I really wish I had.
The Kids Are All Right was not good at all. I can't believe that's up for Best Motion Picture.
For animated feature, I hope Toy Story 3 wins. Not often a cartoon can make me tear up.
Agree on The Social Network. It was good and enjoyable... but not Oscar worthy!
I saw Black Swan and still hope The King's Speech takes it. Absolutely.
DH and I don't go to the movies but wait for them to come out on DVD. So far we have seen The Social Network and Inception. Honestly, the socila network was a good movie, but I wouldn't give it an Oscar. As far as Inception, I totally hated it but I think that is because I really didn't understand it..I just don't think my brain works like that believing in the whole idea of the movie.
I really want to see the King's Speech, but think that is one I will have to watch alone since it really doesn't look like something DH will sit through.
I don't know what your DH's taste in movies is, but I would try & talk him into it. It was actually really funny. We laughed through most of the movie.
Ditto on The King's Speech for actor/supporting. I haven't seen all of the best picture ones yet, but I think that's going to be a tough pick.
I'll probably DVR it so I can read about the interesting parts on Monday and then go back and watch them. Or I'll watch while crochetting. haha
I only saw Alice in Wonderland. It was okay.
Last year my Dh and I rented all the nominated movies and we hated half of them. Like No Country for Old Men....really?! I want that 2 hours of my life back.
