The Soloist got laughable reviews. No nominations for that thing.

And I’ll have a review of Up in a few days.

And personally, I think The Soloist looks mediocre, I could see it as a Best Pic nom, but I don’t think it will get it. From the trailer, it looks like a great concept that could have worked but it also looks like the used the wrong actors, because I wasn’t buying anything in the trailer.

Well Kris thats because the people who give out Oscars are a worthless pile of shit

They only give oscars to movies if they were about a one legged black kid who overcame his difficult sircumstance and won the 20 mile dash and bought his gay dad an artificial heart.

No matter how good this movie really is it WILL get the oscar because it was a stupid drama, and its bullshit

Okay I saw Slumdog and I have to say that it really had nothing On TDK, Wall-e or Frost Nixon, but no, they just wont nominate a movie about superheroes no matter HOW GOOD it is or an animated movie because- who gives a shit? its a kids movie right?
And of course Frost Nixon wasnt about nazis raping babies who had cancer with moms who miraculously escaped and became famous for eating raccoon for 50 days before being rescued

See, the oscars only give oscars to those types of movies, and its bullshit

I really am not surprised that tyhe movie about a poor iondian kid who won a money show game won

Or that the actor that played the gay politician won

Not surprised, at all

I mean how ****ing awesome was DTK? Slumdog was great but i didnt see it 8 times like TDK or 4 like Wall-e

Now my money for next years oscar will be on either the Soloist because its a stupid **** drama or maybe if they come out with some Holocaust movie that on will win, no matter how boring it is

(actually the soloist looks really good, but cmon)

And I am convinced that Sean Penn won because he played a real person, a gay person, and a person who dies at the end of the movie. That’s the Oscar trifecta right there.

As a wrestling fan, this movie strikes a particular chord with me. I’ve seen plenty of docs on former wrestler who turn out EXACTLY LIKE THIS. It’s uncanny. Rourke really did do a fantastic job here.
