THe main reason why I started this thread is cuz Django was the only flick I saw this year and wondered if anyone saw the nominated movies and if they thought they were any good?
but yeah Quentins movies are the truth! Hope he pumps one a year that be great.
Amour - Boring as hell. Haneke has done better, much better with Cache, The White Ribbon, and Funny Games.
Argo - Great film and Affleck's best work to date. Well acted, superbly written, and intense at the right moments. Shame that Affleck was snubbed for best director.
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Great directorial debut from Benh Zeitlin. Great children's film but still I found it to be a bit overrated.
Django Unchained - IMO the best film of the all the nominees. Not Quentin's best work and some scenes could have been slightly trimmed but it has a extraordinary script, wonderful acting from Waltz and DiCaprio, and some awesome action scenes.
Les Miserables - I fucking HATED this movie and this is coming from someone who enjoys the musical. I still can't believe that Tom Hooper won the best director Oscar over David Fincher two years ago, because he still can't direct for fucking shit. Who the fuck directs an epic musical mostly in close up? Oh yeah, Tom Hooper does and it may be the only film where I felt suffocated by its cinematography.
Life of Pi - IMO a bit overrated but goddamn is the cinematography so damn lush and the 3D is even better than the one in Avatar. The film has a damn great score as well.
Lincoln - To be honest, I was really bored by this film despite Daniel Day-Lewis truly awesome performance. Spielberg should start making summer movies again. BTW, the ending to this movie is TERRIBLE!
Silver Linings Playbook - It's a cliched drama/romcom but it's a great cliched drama romcom. Jennifer Lawrence is hot as hell and acts her ass off in this movie. Bradley Cooper acts like how Bradley Cooper in all his movies.
Zero Dark Thirty - IMO the 2nd best nominee here and it's a shame that Kathryn Bigelow was snubbed for best director. Jessica Chastain is another hottie on here that acts her ass off.

THanks tho this is exactly what I wanted to read.
I think the only flick nominated I'd be interested in even seeing would be Argo and Zero Dark Thirty.
PS: So Django is nominated? thats cool I assumed they snubbed him
