Well, hello there~
This has also been a pretty good year of movie-watching — obviously, in terms of number of films watched not quality. Just a couple films I’m dying to watch left…
Watched = orange
Dying to watch = yellow

*drum-roll*
and the winner is… Pixar’s Up!
Big whoop!
Among the other winners of the night were Futurama, Robot Chicken, Fantastic Mr. Fox (for Writing), 2 wins for Monsters vs. Aliens, and 3 wins for Coraline and Princess and the Frog.
Check out all the winner here.
Wow color me surprise. This is a lot of history in the making…
First, it’s a battle against Avatar vs. The Hurt Locker with each having 9 nominations. Followed by Inglourious Basterds with 8, Precious and Up in the Air with 6, Up with 5, and District 9, Nine, and Star Trek with 4.
Also, Peru just made Oscar History with its first ever nomination for Foreign Film.
I just got a few surprises like I asked, as well as really good guesses… missing some films, but also nice surprises like District 9 getting 4 nods. LOL
Tomorrow it’s nomination days!
My country is buzzing with anticipation of a possible Best Foreign Film nod for The Milk of Sorrow.
Anyway, I did Oscar predictions last year and I got about 85% of nominations right considering all of the categories, and nearly a perfect score in major categories of acting, directing and film. However, I don’t think I will be getting a score as good as last time.
uh huh!
Voting results are in! Which is exciting… and a bit surprising, I think xD
Anyway, thank you everyone who nominated their films on the first round, and thank you to everyone else who took time to vote… hopefully you all had taken time to watch all (or at least most) of the nominated films~ and discovered gems!
Among the love, there’s The Hurt Locker, Basterds, District 9, you know… the usual suspects, plus some love for Moon, Antichrist… and surprisingly enough, Watchmen. ;P
Here are the winners…
Yay for Moon! Yay District 9!
Yay Let the Right One In!! xD
And I’m glad there’s some love for The Road. And Parnassus!
The rest of nominees are your usual suspects…
BEST FILM
Avatar
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Precious
Up in the Air
and the winner is…
big omissions, in my opinion, for character sets where Alvin gets a nod instead of Where the Wild Things Are… However, there were some that got nominated, even if they didn’t win. WtWTA for “Serious Tagline”, Watchmen for “Character Set”, The Lovely Bones, Star Trek and Up in the Air for “Bravest Poster”, Adam for “Funny Tagline”, and 500 Days for “Best Poster”.
Obviously, Antichrist won Creepiest Poster LOL
And kudos to the Best Motion Poster, pretty cool.
check out the nominees and winner at the IMPAwards Site.
Like I’ve said before, my GG predictions are kinda rubbish~ So what I’ll do is list the films in the order of their chances of winning, as well as the one I want to win.
I’ve actually seen most of the films, except for 13 (3 of which are foreign), so I think that’s pretty good.
# of likeliness of winning – movie
* I want this one to win
Behold!
Nominations are done!!
It’s actually kind of exciting, even if not that many people sent nominations. However, it’s actually a really great way to hear about all these many other films that people mentioned so many times, and I knew nothing about.
Of course, if more people had actually sent nominations, the experiment would’ve worked better. Maybe next time… so watch many more films this 2010, so you can participate next time around.
Actually, this is the happiest I felt with nominations…
let’s wait to see who wins~~~
However, still important omissions for Moon, as well as Mary and Max. But loads of love for Hurt Locker (7), Basterds (8), and Up in the Air (5), and both Up and District 9 with 4 nods.
It’s been a good year for Sci-Fi.
