The one thing is that I first have to see Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, which I was not expecting to be nominated. As soon as I see that, I'll start it. Here is what will be ranked. Gladiator Chocolat Traffic Erin Brockovich Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon A Beautiful Mind Gosford Park Moulin Rouge In The Bedroom The Lord Of The Rings series (ranked as one, which I think is the most fair way to go) Chicago The Pianist The Hours Gangs Of New York Seabiscuit Lost In Translation Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World Mystic River Million Dollar Baby Sideways Finding Neverland Ray The Aviator Crash Brokeback Mountain Munich Capote Good Night, And Good Luck The Departed Little Miss Sunshine Letters From Iwo Jima The Queen Babel No Country For Old Men There Will Be Blood Atonement Juno Michael Clayton Slumdog Millionaire Milk The Reader The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button Frost / Nixon The Hurt Locker Avatar Up Up In The Air Precious A Serious Man An Education Inglourious Basterds District 9 The Blind Side The King's Speech The Social Network The Fighter 127 Hours The Kids Are All Right Toy Story 3 Winter's Bone True Grit The Black Swan Inception The Artist The Descendants The Help Hugo Midnight In Paris Moneyball War Horse The Tree Of Life Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close First up: something that a lot of people think was robbed of Best Picture (unless I absolutely hate ELAIC)

Juno 3. Lord of the Rings (Two Towers is the best don't even argue - so much Legolas ownage omg can't stop fanning) 4. Inglorious Basterds 5. The Hurt Locker btw I never realized Frost/Nixon was a nominee :D anyone who likes politics would LOVE that movie, I've seen it like 3 times; and the most recent movie I've seen on that list is Moneyball which was SO much better than I imagined, and I don't even like baseball AT ALL, like go see it now if you haven't <3

On another note, is anyone else surprised that Melancholia got completely ignored? IMO, it should have definitely been a best pic. nominee (not to mention best picture of Dunst and maybe best musical score.) Oh, actually how about Million Dollar Baby for last place. I hate Hillary Swank. I also highly disliked A Serious Man. Couldn't get into it at all... Last Edited By: Lurlene McDaniels 01/24/12 12:24 PM. Edited 1 times.

There are still some supposedly great movies of the year that I haven't seen yet (Drive, The Ides Of March, A Separation), but from what I've seen, I'd definitely rank Melancholia in my top ten of the year. I don't know about her for best actress, since it was a tough year for that category imo, but definitely best score.

ILoveKelly, would you be opposed to me turning this into a coranking? (I want to do something related to the Oscars, but my discussion of last year's nominations in the big categories got about 10 replies total and it felt like a waste of time.) I can name every Best Picture winner in order off the top of my head, so I'm qualified. Plus I conduct my own awards yearly and shit like that. Except I'd rank the LOTR films separately. And I haven't seen ELAIC either (this weekend...when midterms are over), but that nomination was a HUGE shocker since it got a Rotten on RT AND it was released at a really bad time. I figured it would be Dragon Tattoo if there was 9 nominees.

Overrated: Gladiator The Lord Of The Rings series (ok it's beautiful but it's also BORING) Brokeback Mountain (actually I liked this one but it wasn't worthy of a nomination for Best Picture in my humble opinion) Slumdog Millionaire Avatar (HurtLockerowned <3) THE SOCIAL NETWORK The Artist (I went to see this movie because Berenice Bejo can do no wrong but I hated it and I want my 1h40 back)

I thought Dragon Tattoo, Bridesmaids, or The Ides Of March were the ones that had the best chances to pull an upset. Can I ask one thing though, that we do it at our own pace? I don't like the idea that one person has to wait for the other to catch up. I don't think that would be fair to either of us, if the other is away or something. I also think it makes more sense if you're ranking the LOTR movies separately, and I'm ranking them together. If that's a problem, then we can do it the standard way though.

Posts: 3805 (01/24/12 04:59 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Oh yeah, and here's a little tribute to the best movies of their respective years that sadly didn't get BP nominations: 2002-Spirited Away 2004-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2008-Dark Knight And that's it. This might not have been the best decade for the movies, but it was a really good decade plus one year for BP nominees. Gj Academy.
