A good choice by the guilds, I hope the oscar go to Hugo or Harry Potter (they deserve recognition for their 10 years of great sets)

I didn’t submit because I was thinking it had already been inducted…we’ll need to rectify that next year, I guess.

Well, it’s some consolation that Leo McCarey himself, got selected. Make Way for Tomorrow didn’t get shortlisted this year. Two of my favorite noirs Out of the Past and The Big Sleep missed out, but the ten films selected were a nice crosssection from the thirties to the nineties.

I like it, especially Tilda Swinton, Terrence Malick and Hunter McCracken.

Mixed feelings about these. All inductees are deserving, but The Awful Truth, as great as it is, without Make Way for Tomorrow? Have we learned nothing in the 75 years since the Acdemy gave Leo McCarey the Best Director Oscar for “the wrong film”?

I am especially pleased with the Hall of Fame selections, which can be found on the OFTA link.

Very interesting choices. With three out of the four acting winners not in the running for Oscars suggesting that we are either our of touch with Oscar or Oscar is out of touch with us. Then again maybe what it suggests is that this is not as much of a consensus year as the prognosticators would have us believe.

I’m torn on the #1 movie. I think The Woman in Black looks better, plus I’m sure legions of Radcliffe fans will flock to see him. But I think Chronicle’s marketing has been just intriguing enough to give it the edge, plus the reviews for it have been pretty good.

1. Chronicle 16M
2. The Woman in Black 16M
3. The Grey 12M
4. Underworld Awakening 6M
5. Big Miracle 6M
6. Red Tails 5.5M
7. One for the Money 5M
8. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 4M
9. The Descendants 4M
10. Man on a Ledge 4M

Big Miracle – 30M
Chronicle – 55M
The Woman in Black – 60M

Comment on The Rundown 2011: Best Original Score / Best Original Song by Almasy

I agree, the Original Song category is turning into a joke on the already criticized academy.

Either they change the rules or eliminate the category altogether

The cast of Carnage was amazing….especially Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster deserved a nomination.
