I agree. Meryl Streep is a fantastic actress. I haven't yet seen the one she won for though, so those who claim it wasn't worthy of the win may very well be right.

Also...as for the show...I thought the Cirque de Soleil thing was fun. A bit short and sort of out of place, but damn they are one talented bunch of people.

A B-Grade porn film names "The Iron Lady" starring Meryl Streep? I actually think I would watch that...

But yes, you're 100% right. You always are when you talk about film 😁

Glenn Close and Michelle Williams' performances made Streep look like a B-grade porn actor.

If you believe awards make things great 😕 - not the work that the award is received for. It was a very strong lineup for Best Actress this year, but Meryl's performance was by far the weakest.

ah - that is true. Ilove everything with Zach Galifianssjklilosjdhidukslos does. And I probably forgot it by the end but the opening short movie was pretty funny too.

Even though it's mostly just "Thanks to the Academy...and a bunch of blokes nobody has heard of...yadda yadda" this was still a vastly superior show to the musical equivalent a while back.

Let's have a BEA Oscar pool. The prize? Nothing.

Check the nominees if you haven't already. Agree/disagree with anything? DISCUSS!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/84th_Academy_Awards

My picks:
Film: I WANT Tree of Life to win, but The Artist may very well snatch it up. You know how the Academy loves nostalgia.
Director: Woody Allen
Actor: Out of those guys, it will and should be Brad Pitt. It SHOULD be in GENERAL Jason Gordon-Levitt for 50/50, but w/e.
Actress: Glenn Close by a LONGSHOT
Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer
Supporting Actress: Berenice Bejo
Original Screenplay: Woody Allen. The other nomination's screenplays don't even come CLOSE. Why the fuck is The Artist even nominated in this category? I mean, it was awesome, but really: screenplay? Come on. Are they serious?
Adapted Screenplay: The Ides Of March
Animated Feature: Chico & Rita. I guess. What the fuck were they thinking with this category's nominations?
Original Score: The Artist - Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross deserve it more buuuut they weren't even nominated.
Original Song: Man or Muppet. Who the fuck cares about Rio?
Art Direction: Hugo
Cinematography: Tree of Life, by several, several miles.
