Jan 8 - 01:34 PM

Jan 8 - 02:20 PM

Andrew Milito

He has a strange nose if you ask me :P

Jan 8 - 04:23 PM

Victor Caoyonan

Poor man's John Lennon nose.

Infernal Dude

Its like a beak.

Zach Idiculla

ikr!

Jan 8 - 03:20 PM

Dave Mart

what the hell do you have against Mr. Hooper? If anyone, is Modern Riefenstahl who doesn't deserve to be up there.

Jan 9 - 11:00 AM

Heil, heil! lol

Jan 9 - 02:10 PM

Glad to see this is gonna become a thing now.

Jan 9 - 03:29 PM

Lee Augustus

Who's modern Riefenstahl?

Just for the record, the #1 film of 2012 according to Rotten Tomatoes is Kirby Dick's THE INVISIBLE WAR, 100% with 55 reviews. Let's hope it snags an Oscar nomination.

Bradly Martin

Well Deserved Documentary I might add. People it is on Instant Streaming for NETFLIX. If you have an Instant stream netflix account don't miss it!

Jan 8 - 03:13 PM

Saetre Saetre

Almost every documentary has a 97% rating or better on rotten tomatoes.

Jan 9 - 02:05 AM

Eric Levengood

2016?

Jan 9 - 12:28 PM

WE ARE LEGION? Even SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN doesn't have that high a Tomatometer and it's been winning the majority of awards.

Jan 9 - 12:45 PM

Tom Hooper? Mother @#$%er!

Jan 8 - 02:16 PM

Dave Mart

Let me guess, you hated "The King's Speech" but love "Avatar" and "Transformers", right?

Jan 9 - 01:27 PM

No, I actually liked The King's Speech for your information. I just don't think Hooper's direction on Les Mis is worthy of this award. And what if I do like Avatar? People are allowed to like different genres of films, it's a subjective medium. Boy aren't you a snob.

Jan 9 - 04:59 PM

Gage Kent

Lay off dude. I liked King's Speech but agree with Gary on this one. Les Mis was nothing special. People will forget about it in a few years. Heck, I even forget about it. Why do you have to bring Avatar and Transformers into this? I can tell from your profile pic that you have great taste, but you could be a little less snobby.

Jan 9 - 07:11 PM

Dave Mart

OK, I was just motivated because of the M-word. Haven't seen Les Mis, but Tom Hooper is a great director nonetheless.

Jan 13 - 11:43 AM

Still, on this site everything you just said can be taken as an insult. There was absolutely no call for it.

Jan 22 - 10:27 PM

Chum Chum

Niether Andersons nor Tarantino??
Evil Bastards!

Jan 8 - 03:03 PM

Yeah, Paul W.S. Anderson was robbed for his superior work on RESIDENT EVIL 5.

Jan 8 - 04:03 PM

Think he meant PT Anderson and Wes Anderson. Unless you were being ironical. In which case, bravo. :)

Jan 8 - 04:39 PM

Stewart Lund

Resident Evil 5 is more certainly the more deserving film, and with the more superior director... (I joke, I joke). Wes Anderson should certainly be on there, and Tarantino.

Jan 8 - 06:14 PM

Chum Chum

PT Anderson my friend...WS Anderson is pretty much the anti-christ

Jan 8 - 07:53 PM

Lee Augustus

how the fuck has WS anderson evaded the razzes this long?

Jan 9 - 04:53 PM

Now there is one of the great mysteries. The only film he made that I thought was okay was EVENT HORIZON (in theaters too), and even then I have no desire to see it again. Everything else is pure garbage.

Jan 10 - 12:00 AM

Bradly Martin

I have not seen life of PI or Argo but does that make me a bastard for hoping Ben Afleck or Ang Lee don't get Snubbed again?

Jan 8 - 03:14 PM

Zach Idiculla

Go Kathryn Bigelow!

Jan 8 - 03:20 PM

Matt Jordan

Affleck, hands down.

Jan 8 - 03:27 PM

The more I think about, the more I think Affleck is going to get it. All the others have one before...except for Ang Lee? Damn, need to verify.

Jan 8 - 03:54 PM

Ang Lee won for Brokeback Mountain. He also has a second DGA for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Jan 8 - 04:38 PM

Bradly Martin

Hoping Afleck then.

Jan 9 - 08:40 AM

Think Ang got one for Brokeback right?

Jan 8 - 04:39 PM

Infernal Dude

I too see Affleck winning this. If not then Bigelow.

Jan 8 - 11:03 PM

Yep Affleck, not Reifens...oops, lol.

Jan 9 - 12:45 PM

Christopher Greffin

Even Affleck in his first nomination looks like a AAA director compared to this Hooper guy. At least he has no chance. Probably will be Bigelow or Spielberg.

Jan 8 - 03:52 PM

Hooper has already won once and Les Miserables was actually a really interesting movie thanks in large part to Hooper's direction IMO. Also, Affleck's directorial skills are nothing to sneeze at. The man makes good movies.

Jan 8 - 04:43 PM

Andrew Milito

I'd like Bigelow, Affleck, or Spielberg to win.

Jan 8 - 04:24 PM

Jeremy Reyes

Wheres Rian Johnson

Jan 8 - 04:40 PM

Steven Olivier

Hooper is overrated in my opinion. Les Mis suffered from Hooper's poor cinematography. Life of Pi was nothing short of extraordinary. Beautiful and powerful. I never saw a director make anything anthropomorphic like Lee did with the animals. Never saw Argo, but the common ratiocination is that he'll win because he's the only one of the five that hasn't won the best director Oscar yet. Want to see Zero Dark Thirty.

Jan 8 - 05:20 PM

Dave J

One of the negative criticsms was that "Les Miserables" was not bad but some of the singing particularly from Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman was simply unbearable to listen to- one may have to bring ear muffs upon watching it!

Jan 8 - 05:44 PM

WS Shannon

Hugh Jackman was a great actor and singer, and Russell Crowe wasn't bad, but nothing special. Unbearable is an overstatement

Jan 9 - 01:43 PM

See I disagree with both. I agree that Life of Pi was visually stunning, but I felt some of the dialog and acting performances dragged it down and I thought Les Miserables was much more effective as a movie than I ever thought it was as a stage production. The singing isn't up to stage standard, but it's not distractingly bad either. Thought Jackman, Crowe and especially Hathaway and the girl who played Eponine(nothing wrong with her voice) gave really strong, intense, personal performances.

Jan 8 - 09:01 PM

Dave J

When you say performances, do you 'also' mean the singing as well?
