I know, Pam. They want to go quickly though things but they should take proper time to show respect for those that have passed away. It was almost a sideline. Not good.

I haven't said much I'm afraid. Unfair of me really.
But I have been following you and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Pleasing company, helpful comments and detailed information.
Thanks Xochi   and

Great minds and all that...

Bet Avatar gets this one!

It's becoming a bit like a big back-slapping exercise now, isn't it?

Oh, yes. Annoying. I think with all their time-saving we still end up at past 4 in the morning lol.

Only 4 more to go.

Well... the big ones are coming up... I might not last too much longer tho' Orchid. I'm not on a lappy so think I'll crash and burn soon... but I will listen on the radio and come back to this thread tomorrow...

Oh OK! In that case....

Ajami (Israel)

The Milk Of Sorrow (Peru)
Un Prophete (France)
The White Ribbon (Germany)


Winner: - El Secreto De Sus Ojos (Argentina)

THE BIG FOUR COMING UP! Oscars - best actor, actress, director and best motion picture coming soon..

They could have made a time allowance for those who struggle with the English Language.




Kathy Bates is a great actress.

I reckon James Cameron is desperate for best director

What was that Avatar stuff about? Is it the winner of the best movie then?

It hasn't won it yet Xochi. We are all waiting with baited breath to see who has won.

This is weird! Actors and actresses saying their piece about the nominees... Looking like a bloody court hearing!

So to the Oscar for BEST ACTOR and the nominations are...
Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)
George Clooney (Up In The Air)
Colin Firth (A Single Man)
Morgan Freeman (Invictus)
Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker)





Winner: Jeff Bridges

I guess it was his turn... I was hoping Colin Firth would win.

This is weird! Actors and actresses saying their piece about the nominees... Looking like a bloody court hearing


I wondered about that it was a tad embarrassing!

I would have said Morgan Freeman as Mandela... haven't seen the film yet, but if there is an acting role made in heaven it should have been that.

I have a soft spot for Colin Firth you see! I wouldn't have minded Morgan Freeman winning he is a fine actor and a gentleman

I think a lot of women have a soft spot for Colin Firth

*sigh*

best actress. Nominated -
Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side)
Helen Mirren (The Last Station)
Carey Mulligan (An Education)
Gabourey Sidibe (Precious)
Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia)


Winner: Sandra Bullock

Stop with the crying!

It may not be the right thing to say... but whatever film I've seen her in I've always enjoyed her performance

Sandra Bullock wins a Razzie and an Oscar in the same week! Should have gone Gabourey Sidibe for Precious.

Have to say Precious is going to be top of a list of must-see films now...

Wow! Not James Cameron!
