The Oscars is a joke now. Maybe The Omen got it right: Politics is the sea where the anti-christ (Hollywood) will rise.

Couldn’t agree with you more Vic. It’s all about politics these days. Oscars now are less about which films were great and more about which film pushes the proper political agenda. Not to mention they even ruined it for the actors. It use to be this special moment and you give a nice speech and enjoy the moment now they rush you off the stage even cutting you off mid sentence some times. Then theres the issue of the best movie usually doesn’t win the awards or in some case great movies don’t even get nominated. There was a time that I loved the Oscars much like your wife did. The last few years however it’s really taken a hit actually a lot of hits.

@Daniel F

Yeah, I lost interest in the Oscars years ago. My wife has been an Oscar fanatic all her life, but she can’t stand to watch them any more with the loss of glamour, class, political movie choices and use of acceptance as a political platform.

K teh Oscars were shamefull long before that.

See I don’t think Tarantino has done anything great until now. I would say Pulp Fiction and Bastards are easily his best. Most of his stuff is tasteless shock value. He isn’t exactly famous for telling great stories.

The Oscars became a shamefull affair when Rourke didn’t win for The Wrestler.

As a directing effort especially, Basterds have been stuck in my mind for the last few days. The humour in the film is ranging from straight up slapstick and sillyness, to refined little details and clever bits of dialouge. Its tied in so well with the suspense and more emotional scenes and parts. And it never, ever feels weird. It flows.

Not only is this a magnificent feat for a storyteller, its probably the hardest thing you can embark on. I honestly struggle to come up with any other director who can include all those elements so effortlessly and natural.

I’ve always loved Tarantino and been a huge fan. But a fantastic director? Weeell… Now I’m convinced. He is one of the best current directors there is.

I would buy a DVD when IB comes out and get the director’s cut later too. I have several versions of The Fifth Element and don’t mind buying the upgrades. I saw IB twice and picked up details not noticed before; I can’t believe I didn’t notice the poodle in the first viewing (a silly observation on my part). I also saw Fredrick Zoller and Willie (new dad) as more nuanced characters.

I love how studios manipulate and try to steer Oscar votes. Nice to see the manipulation/strategy worked for films like “Crash”
(Didn’t deserve sh’ btw)

I Basterds, (imo) isn’t worthy of any Oscars except supporting role for Waltz… I’m not even interested in re watching it on dvd. The Oscars is a sham anyway.

I think it’s funny. I don’t really like Tarantino in fact you might even say I hate him, but I loved Inglorious Bastards. It was a great movie, but it’s not an oscar movie. I’m not saying that it doesn’t deserve any, but I’m saying there are certain types of movies that just get black listed for being in specific genres or having certain styles no matter how great they are. It’s one reason the oscars have become a bit of a joke in my opinion as of late. With so many different types of films getting better and better telling amazing stories it’s a joke to not allow them in the best picture or actor category just because of what type of film it is.
