I don't usually watch awards shows, but my buddy invited some poeple to watch. The opinions of myself and most in the room:
-The dancing to the theme songs was horrible
-Jeff Bridges winning is fine. None of us have seen most of his movies so nobody could offer much of an opinion there. I don't think I've seen anything of his in the last 10+ years.
-Sandra Bollock seems to be a fine choice. Again, nobody saw her movie, but she's at least done many roles of differing characters. The Precious girl has only "acted" one role thus far. Doesn't show anything re acting skills. Haven't seen Meryl's movie, so can't comment. Didn't look good IMO.
-The director lady winning the Oscar; if she was the best then it was the right choice.
-Marting and Baldwin were good if not a tiny bit tedious. Stiller was simply weird (as was Bridges).
-Penelope Cruz; all good, always good to see. :)
-Sean Penn, Matt Damon; like(d) them both.
Of the ten movies nominated:
Have seen: District 9 (just rented it Saturday). Very different concept for an alien movie. Liked it.
Will rent: The Hurt Locker will see the inside of my BD some day soon, looks good. The Blind Side will likely as well.
May rent: Avatar. Although this should have been seen in the theatres from what I understand (3D). Up in The Air. Up.
Unlikely to see my BD player: Crazy Heart, Precious.
Won't: Inglourious Basterds.
Never heard of An Education or A Serious Man... !?
