samantha connolly In The Murder Scene Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 24519 | Just to make this a little bit more interesting of a topic that we can use during the actual ceremony and afterwards, I'm going to change this topic to be about the 2009 Oscars in general. |
Cigarettes And Suicide Bleeding on the Floor Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 1725 | Seriously, if I have to hear one more thing about Heath Ledger being nominated... I'll overdose on prescription pills myself. We get it, he died, it was sad, he was a great actor. Gaaahhhh. He'll probably win it, too. /rant. I hope Wall-E wins an award, that was a rad movie. |
snow at christmas. Crash Queen Age: 38 Gender: Male Posts: 31690 | ^well, I hope he does, since he was great in that film and he won't get another chance, but yeah. enough srsly. I want milk to win a lot. and wall-e was great, so that too. |
Battery Diamond Bleeding on the Floor Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 1380 | Cigarettes And Suicide: I get your rant and all but that was a little mean what you said I mean the man did die after all. /rant. |
Battery Diamond Bleeding on the Floor Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 1380 | I also love that M.I.A. recieved a nom for best song! |
snow at christmas. Crash Queen Age: 38 Gender: Male Posts: 31690 | XxJetBlackPoisonxX:awesome, we receive awards for dying now? |
Battery Diamond Bleeding on the Floor Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 1380 | dog man star.:No, That's not what I said, he recieved the nomination for his acting. Btw have you even seen the movie? |
starktreks Devil's Got Your Number Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 35214 | kate winslet is ♥. |

snow at christmas. Crash Queen Age: 38 Gender: Male Posts: 31690 | XxJetBlackPoisonxX:yes. I have. he was brilliant in it, and I think he should win an award. I just don't think the fact that he died changes his performance and therefore how much he deserves the award. I also want him to get it because he won't have any other chance and I think he does deserve it for something and if it wasn't this, it'd have been something in the future, but I don't see why his death makes him a better actor. if the awards start being given on sympathy or whatever, they'll become worthless. |

Day Old Hate Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 423 | I hope The Wrestler/Mickey Rourke gets some awards, that film was amazing. And tbh, I don't think Heath Leadger or The Dark Knight would have been considered by the academy members if it wasn't for his death. I also don't think he should win, because his victory will be tainted by the whole "he won it because he's dead" thing... I'm not saying he was bad, or doesn't deserve the nomination, I just don't think he should win. Plus, I think other actors are more deserving of the award this year, when you take into consideration that Heath Ledger didn't get a lot of screen time in the film. And how insane is it that Robert Downey Jr. is nominated for Tropic Thunder?! Good on him! |
point counterpoint. Always Born a Crime Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5199 | For movies I'm rooting for Wall-E and Slumdog Millionaire. For individual actors I would have to say Kate Winslet and well, lets face it, Heath Ledger will win the award. |
crooked smile. Shotgun Sinner Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 7227 | lmaooo. I love that Robert Downey Jr. was nominated. I do hope Heath wins, though. I thought he was awesome in the Dark Knight. And tbh, I think it's very possible that he would've been nominated even if he were still alive. I also want Anne Hathaway to win best actress. |

na. Shotgun Sinner Age: 33 Gender: - Posts: 9617 | i'm happy kate was nominated, and i hope that this means she'll finally be thrown a bone and get the oscar. the sixth time is the charm? but i am epically happy that jai ho was nominated. what a great song. and oh... saya. slumdog has an amazing soundtrack. |
infinity guitars. Awake and Unafraid Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 10838 | heath ledger definitely deserves this. he was phenomenal not only in the dark knight, but in basically everything he was ever in. i know people are bitching about how "he's only been nominated because he's deeaad" but seriously, i reckon he would've been nominated anyway also, slumdog millionaire and kate winslet should win stuff |
robert plant. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 4311 | I'm so glad Robert Downey Jr. was nominated, I think he was fantastic and hilarious in that role and it's great to see the Academy Awards acknowledging comedy for a change. But I still hope Heath wins in that category. And I'm SO happy Milk was nominated for Best Picture, I really hope it wins. |
Day Old Hate Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 423 | Yeah, I'm off to see Milk on Monday, I can't wait! And, like I said, The Wrestler was a great film, I'm glad it's nominated Just thought I'd clear up, I'm glad that Heath has been nominated, and part of me is rooting for him, but I really don't want his victory to be just because he died... It should be for his acting, which was fantastic (albeit with the short screentime in a very convoluted film). And, ffs, give Kate an Oscar!!! |
