I was just gong to post that

Ive seen the curious case of Benjamin Button I thought it was great.
I have downloaded the wrestler, Milk and havent seen them yet.
And I watched Changeling and revolutionary rd. I liked those 2.

Havent watched Slumdog millionaire yet, but I think its over rated because its a 3rd world country setting. But I will have to wait and see.

[Wildcat!]

So whove seen slumdog millionaire? Is it really good? I am debating if I should watch it or not! The scenario just sounds corny to me.

I haven't watched it yet but i've heard nothing but good things about it.

I haven't seen any of the films nominated, haven't really been watching any new movies this/last year.

I'd like Heath Ledger to win Best Supporting Actor though, as he was great in the film.

He deserves it, he's performance was spectacular. It's a shame Dark Knight was snubbed for more important awards, It's an outrage that it didn't get a Best Director nod at least. I also thought Wall-e deserved a Best Picture nod, such an enchanting film.

I got a few of them through Torrents. And they are not cam quality, they are perfect screenings.

I ent even seen any of the best picture ones or heard of them?

Is it tradition to always nominate Angelina Jolie for an award?
She's always up for something. She can't be amazing in everything surely.

[Captain.Remy]

The Class is purely awesome...oh wait, I know why...it's French ! :laugh:
