"Two more days until we find out who wins this year’s Academy Awards! Okay, so the exclamation point is more than forced. It’s been quite awhile since we’ve had even an ounce of excitement about the Oscars. But we mustn’t let predictability get us down. Sure, even the still-uncertain races (Penn vs. Rourke; Winslet vs. Streep; Man on Wire vs. Trouble the Water) are anything but interesting, because the everyman of 2009 couldn’t care less about who gave the year’s better performance and would probably be fine shrugging his shoulders at the TV screen in the event of a tie (or, better yet, irresolution). However, there’s one thing people keep forgetting about the Academy: they’re full of surprises. So, rather than just go with the easy, “predictable” predictions, we attempted to guess who and what will Crash the Oscars this year with a surprise victory — preferably the kind that adds an “ing” to “upset.” And once again, we’d like to e "

"With Danny Boyle’s DGA win over the weekend, Slumdog Millionaire achieved a near-impossible feat; it became even more favored to win the Oscar for Best Picture. Once thought to be an underdog, Slumdog has been pretty much unstoppable throughout the awards season, even picking up the undeserved top honor at the SAG Awards, and has never fallen from its position of frontrunner since it took the lead months ago. Yet last week, the internet was populated by talk of a Slumdog backlash, and for the first time in weeks, other Best Picture candidates were seriously being discussed as slightly plausible victors. The two titles considered most likely to be a threat to Boyle’s film are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Milk, with little conc "

"The nominations for the 81st Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning, and they likely have upset a large number of people in the comic book geek community. Yes, the most obvious snubs have to do with The Dark Knight, which failed to garner nods for Best Picture, Best Director or even Best Screenplay — yes, obviously Heath Ledger was at least nominated. And at least the comic book adaptation did get a few craft awards, including Best Cinematography. Could we blame the Academy’s usual penchant for Holocaust movies? Perhaps, since The Reader was a surprise nominee for Best Picture and Best Director. What else was overlooked and what else was shockingly present? My immediate thoughts after the jump: Kate Winslet will not be able to achieve the same kind of double-duty win she ac "

"After watching the Golden Globes tonight I have an eerily similar feeling as I did in early 2006 when I watched Crash gaining undeserved steam as it rocketed toward an eventual Best Picture win at the Academy Awards. This year, I am beginning to resent multiple-Golden Globe winner Slumdog Millionaire in much the same way. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie a lot, I just feel like its getting all the notice because its so different than the normal Hollywood award fare. Slumdog is definitely worthy of a top 10 listing this year, the same as I felt for Crash in 2006, but I truly don't believe it is the best picture of the year. Certain elements of Slumdog definitely deserve recognition, including editing, direction, and score, but I don't think they should be a lock in any of those categories either. I haven't even made my way through half of the nominees for this year's Golden Globes, and I have already seen 3 other great films in the last week alone (Milk,

"I watched this film when it first came out, but this week when I watched for a second time, I was somewhat disappointed because, when I had first watched, I had thought it was a good film. It does deal with the heavy-weight issue of the inherent racism in the U.S.A. however, second time round, I realized it is not just addressing the issue, but it is in itself, a very racist movie. The white characters seem more like caricatures and stereotypes, while the black characters are fated to be thieves, although put in that posiiton due to society's racism, they are stereotypically portrayed as only petty thieves who white people should be afraid of. It is also ironic that these young black men are rather well-educated and able to communicate their views rather succintly, but have no choice in the matter, but be what society tells them to be, instead of using their clear intelligent ability to not conform to the stereotype. It simply disappointed me. "

"Oprah Winfrey can certainly create a best seller when it comes to books, and her pick of the presidential candidates is on his way to the White House. But can she get behind a movie and contribute to its success? 20th Century Fox seems to hope so, because the studio apparently allowed the talk show host to screen an unfinished cut of Australia in preparation for her November 10 show, which featured the film’s stars, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, as well as a live-via-Skype call-in from filmmaker Baz Luhrman. Fortunately for Fox, Oprah raved about the film, and now the media has latched on to the endorsement, creating some much-needed positive buzz for the Oscar-hopeful. Yet there’s a big problem with all the excitement: Oprah’s film recommendations have hardly been sure-fire champs in the past. Case in point: the first title I came upon while searching for Oprah-select cinema was something called

"I never went to a normal college, never lived in a proper dorm or experienced fraternity hazing or even rush week from an inside viewpoint. I went to an urban art school and then a commuter school. And though I grew up in a college town and later worked on the campus of another college I didn’t attend, I feel like I don’t have the proper perspective with which to judge most college movies and college kid characters as being true to life. This probably explains why I enjoy so many bad movies set in colleges and/or involving college students. I bet I could even check out a double feature of The House Bunny and College and have a good time at the movies. Of course, I do have some semblance of good taste, and I also recognize that none of the following movies are anywhere near the quality of my favorite college movies (including Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman, the Marx Brothers’

"Great acting and directing, Crash details the lives of several different people from all different walks of life; from a senator to carjackers, and how each of their lives are connected. The directing and editing is phenomenal in the way the story is all brought together. Crash makes you stop and think about all the ways in which your actions affect others, and brings race/culture issues out in the open. "

"Titles in bold represent a first time viewing. 346. Magnolia (Anderson, 1999)----------I thought that this was a pretty great collage-type film with the likeness of a more familiar title, Crash. Aside from Julianne Moore's performance, one of the few things I didn't like was the fact that the characters didn't connect with each other other than the bizarre finale at the end of the film. (7.5 / 10) 347. Stuck (Gordon, 2007)----------Based on a true story, stuck follows a wannabe-ghetto woman (Mena Suvari) after she hits a homeless man and drives him into her garage. The acting was terrible, the premise was good though. Towards the end, it began to pick up in terms of entertainment. (6 / 10) 348. Equilibrium (Wimmer, 2002)----------Christian Bale? Sweet. Reviews relating it to The Matrix? Awesome. This is why I initially c "

Who Needs the Razzies???

"This movie changed my life. I used to watch the Academy Awards. Now I don't. With a Best Picture winner as bad a this, who the hell needs the Razzies??? Crash doesn't need to be compared to the vastly superior Brokeback Mountain to be seen as inferior. No, Crash sucks independently of any comparison. Was it homophobia, or cowardice that allowed this superficial piece of twaddle to win best picture? Very likely it was both... For all of the self-congratulatory posing, when the time came to actually stand up and be counted in the real fight for civil rights in this country (as the right wingers attempted to write discrimination into the constitution of the US), the Academy chose to bury its head in its own fat ass. Let the Crash debacle be forever remembered as a monument to the Academy's cowardice, stupidity, bad taste, and small minded provincialism. I haven't watched the Academy Awards since that night, and I expect I never will again... "
