Oscar Pool / Open Thread
by Red Menace on Mar 7, 2010 1:35 PM EST
Email
PrintIt's that time of year again. Just like last year I created a pool at www.funofficepools.com (last year I shopped around and that clunky site was the best. It's entirely possible there's something better now. If we all had SBNation issued iPhones there's a pretty sweet app...)
Sign up and join pool name: Red Reporter 2010, password: aroldis. It will really make it easier for people to follow along if your pickset name is somewhat similar to your RR handle.
I put a weighted point system on the categories. Best Picture, Director, the acting and screenplay categories are all worth 3 points, everything else is 2 points, except the shorts, documentary and foreign films categories which are 1 point (I figured everyone has the least familiarity with those). If you think we should change these weightings speak up before the ceremonies start. Picks need to be in by 8pm tonight.
Like last year I will send a collection of pirated Academy screener DVDs of select nominated films to the winner.

My picks are in
Last year’s Oscar’s thread was one of my all-time favorites. I don’t think I’ll participate this year though, because I’m going to a party, and they’d probably frown on my typing furiously on a laptop in the corner. On the other hand, they won’t be rec’ing my bons mots. Tough call.
Done and done

I’ve seen almost none of these movies. This should be as accurate as most of my ncaa brackets.

I just realized that my pick for Best Song
is performed by George Clooney’s character in Up In The Air. That’s odd.
You may find my picks under the the pseudonym of MADS BLOWN PICKS
Athough I may not ‘win’ due to the capricious taste of members of the academy…my choices are the correct. ones and will win the Oscar Del Rio Gold Medal again this year…..and in receiving the Gold Medal for most correct picks i would like to thank:
My 99 yr. old mother
My tailor park sister

My condolences to obc,tHan, and jch…I never liked BBQ that much anyway

My picks are in
I think there are 3 categories that are pretty obvious.
unfortunately, i’ve seen basically none of these movies. I’m pretty sure all I’ve seen are Up and Inglorious Basterds
Barbara WaWa
first actress was a freakshow. in an open marriage and doesnt shave her legs, at age 42. good times.
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
its the last Barbara Waters Oscar special!
She’s “sick of it”!
Suck it, Barbara.
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
moNique is pretty gross actually
Barbara walters was on howard stern this week and they played clips of that interview.
Walters and Stern were making all kinds of fun of her
im watching the last Barbara WaWa interview ever on Oscar night
guess who she’s interviewing?
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
i watched the entire interview
im not going to miss her, at all
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
the oscars producers
kicked borat off the show because they were afraid he would offend james cameron.
that seems like the perfect reason to have him there! poor decision!
i have no idea who the hosts are for the red carpet show
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
That's the kind of wit thievery....
…that made me finally relent and create an account. For shame.
Alright, I'll kill a snitch. I'm not saying I have, I'm not saying I haven't. You know what I mean.

10 nominated movies for Best Film is stupid
not quite as stupid as the title for Precious, but close.
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
I'm slipping
I’ve seen only two of the 10 movies…..Hurt Locker and Inglorious Basterds. Locker was good, but I don’t think it’s Best Picture good. I liked Basterds better.
That said, I just don’t want Avatar to win. It just reeks of overhype.

That's nothin

Oh duh I forgot one
Besides Basterds and Hurt Locker, I also saw The Blind Side.
I always forget that got nominated just because it’s laughable that it even was nominated for Best Pic. It was alright for what it was (had low expectations), but nowhere near as good as the book. It’s a two and a half star movie at best.

i haven't seen the hurt locker
but i assume the dialogue from IB should’ve been enought to win the screenplay award.
my guess was there wasn’t a lot of talking in the hurt locker
There was a good amount of talking
But Hurt didn’t have the feel of a “writer’s movie.” Although I’d say it was a character study masquerading as an action movie.
Basterds I thought was more deserving.

They’ve done a really good job on the cutaways. Getting that almost-died-of-cancer guy’s family, showing Jason Reitman looking pissed, QT after the horror montage…
Going away from the awful, desperate move of having former winners introduce the acting nominees from last year has been huge. Also no song performances. We’re going to be done before 12 even with the 10 best picture nominees.
