Mamma Mia! is now the highest grossing film in UK history, outpacing Titanic.

I think the dinner table sequence is one of those sequences that needs to be studied by every wannabe director - how Mungui unpacks so much information with those side conversations while never leaving Anamaria Marinca's face is astonishing.

2. Preserve Cinderella in Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.

Thanks Filmfan.

1. Preserve Sunset Blvd in best picture.

2. Preserve Bitter Rice in best Motion picture story.

3. Replace Born Yesterday with The Rules of the Game in best costume design.

Burns is out, Dourif is in. I don't even think I've seen Burns' film, but to my understanding it was one of those "good on you, old codger" wins that happened every so often (Don Ameche, 1985). Having no sentimental attachment to Burns, I don't mind taking it away. I haven't seen The Day ...

Slumdog was probably ineligible, due to funding coming from the UK, not America.

Can we freeze a category someone's changed, preventing someone else from undoing it?

MovieWes, why do you think WALL.E missed the cut where Ratatouille made it (top fifteen)?

Magilla, you should know by now not to have this argument.

Can I be the only one to say here - actually to repeat it, since I first said it last summer right after I saw it in Beirut - that The Dark Knight WILL NEVER, EVER get a Best Picture nomination? And then ok, maybe it will be nominated in the end, but at least let's try our best to pretend that this...

Heh - I like The Corpse Bride most in that line-up.

FWIW, of the five captains, there was one female, Captain Fee, in WALL.E.

Big Magilla wrote:I don't remember a cute one. What did he have to do?

The bomb maker.

I really liked everyone in that ensemble, actually, but I thought Kassovitz was the best.

I don't think The Constant Gardener is negligible, just that Munich is superior. 1. Replace Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain with Matthieu Kassovitz, Munich . Gyllenhaal is great, but he's leading, and Kassovitz' performance just burns in my memory. 2. Replace "In the Deep," from Crash...

Flipp, tackle best director, 1959.
