Movie Matters: 2011 Oscars: And the Nominees Are Alright



First thoughts, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush are geniuses but they got in on the coat tails of Colin Firth's tour de force performance in the "King's Speech."

"The Kids Are All Right" is the perfect portrait of the Whole Foods American family and every Obama voter should go see it right now.

"Inception" was the second most fun I had at the theater last year.

"The Social Network," yawn.

Other thoughts, this is the first time in a long time that a number of the films nominated were released all throughout the year.

Snubs include "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" (Best Adapted Screenplay) and "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" (Best Picture Ever and the most fun I had at the theater this year).

For complete coverage go to the source.

In total agreement.
Haven't seen SPvsTW yet. The core fan base was all psyched, but the critical reviews were so iffy I didn't want to use the 10 bucks for something that'd make me feel lukewarm. This thing looked like it'd always get more mileage on disc than in the theaters, anyway.
