I thought Michael Clayton was a good film
Sigh, I have seen none!
I did not even watch one tenth of those movies.
My favorites are:
- No country for old men (the story is in West Texas near El Paso).
- Eastern Promises
There is also this movie "La Vie en Rose", it's the story from the singer Edith Piaf (I love her songs), I heard good things about it, but I've never watched it. The actress is Marion Cotillard, a 33 y/o sexy french actress. She played in the movie "a good year" with Russell Crowe, it was on IFC or HBO a few weeks ago.
The documentaries "sicko" from Michael Moore and "Persepolis", and ratatouille were great gems.
My favorite documentary which is not of the list is "The terror's advocate" with Jacques Verges a french lawyer. Verges is maybe one of the best products of the french society who turned against the french government and defended international terrorists. I was told he's a mole against the french gov. (http://www.terrorsadvocatefilm.com/)
Javier Bardem is a special player and his family is very important in the film español.Se deserves the prize. You remember his work in Before nightfall, in the life of a Cuban homosexual?
Errata: ratatouille is not a documentary, it's an animated cartoon.
@ Camino: nobody had time to watch all these movies, at least not for my case.
Lo siento,sé que no es correcto escribir asi en inglés,pero uso el traductor de google y sale así de raro.
Lo siento pero no habla espanol.
Nadie tiene tiempo para ver las pelliculas :) LOL Trabajo, trabajo, siempre trabajo aqui in los estados unitos.
I have seen none of them yet, but I hope the Coen Brothers win something, I love their films.
Graeme: I didn't see Clayton.
Camino Incierto: It's exciting that Basque country is watching if Javier Bardem will win. I didn't see him in the role you mentioned.
Politiques: There are free screenings happening often. See this.
Naj: Your posts about Iranian cinema are interesting.
I think Juno is very good. It's nowhere near Oscar worthy. This is Diablo Cody's blog.
The dance community has been after the Academy to have a choreography oscar. The statue's arm is in port-a-bras position.
Atonement for your pick, huh RE? I saw three of the BP nominees--There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and Juno. I think I liked the PT Anderson the most, but it has its own problems.
Though I haven't seen Michael Clayton, I'd love it if Tilda Swinton pulled off an upset. She is a divine presence. And my vote for biggest injustice--based on my limited viewing of last year's releases, of course--is the predictable snubbing of We Own the Night, a superb and melancholy sociopolitical drama. Highly recommended.

This will help you get to know the family Bardem. Thanks.
What? No Debate? No conflict?
Hmmm...
Well I'm just glad those lazy ass unionized writers gave in and got back to work. They must think their talent is worth a share of the talent it takes to produce.
The nerve.
Camieno: You won.
Rudy: The show ended exactly on time.

I saw "Taxi To The Dark Side" which beat "Sicko" for the best documentary. It is anti-torture. The movie focuses on the death of an Afghan taxi driver, tortured to death in US custody. He was innocent and apolitical. This was produced by the Discovery Channel, who are distancing themselves from it.
There has won our compatriot Javier Bardem
Regards friend
There were few surprises, like Tilda Swinton and Marion Cotillard, but otherwise a predictable set on winners.
Interesting thing is that all winning actors are European: a Irishman, a Frenchwoman, a Spaniard and a Englishwoman...
My son and I enjoyed "Into the Wild." Even though the kid didn't make it, it was empowering to think he could last about two years on his own, free from our corporatist culture.
Sonia: I was waiting for what you would have to say.
I think Atonement had nothing that could be called great, as how Daniel Day-Lewis acting. It was good total package. I'm partisan to director Joe Wright,
Tom: I hear nothing but good things about "Into the Wild."
I stopped watching after the performance of "Happy Working Song" from "Enchanted". I thought to myself, that piece of shit was nominated for an Oscar? That pissed me off so much I I couldn't stand to watch any more of it.
Anybody have any thoughts on Brad Renfro's exclusion from the memorial tribute? I do, but I won't mention them here.
