I think this year suffered from not having a genuine "event" movie that everyone in the culture was talking about. For me, that's not always about "box office" or a big studio picture. It's about the impact and significance of the film - there was no "Titanic" or "...

The clip with Heath Ledger was much too short, even if it did come at the end.

Not impressed with this. Since neither No Country or TWBB won in this category, it's hard to see who's got the momentum at this point.

I agree Julie Christie was robbed, but I'm glad for Marion Cotillard, who certainly didn't see it coming. I guess impersonations really have the upper hand in the acting categories.

Haven't seen any of these short films but in my oscar ballot, I picked it. I'm doing really good with this! (Hope I'm not talking too soon - so far I've only missed the visual effects category).
