Star Trek IV was Nicholas Meyer. /huge nerd
It’s the first time an ex-couple are nominated for best directing award (James Cameron & Kathryn Bigelow)
The best picture winner should come out of these films…Avatar, Inglourious Basterds, District 9, Up in the Air, and…The blind side! Why? Because not only were theses film critically lauded, but they made money…and movies are about art and making money…what do you think?

Don’t know if it has already been mentioned, but I think that the Gyllenhaals are the first siblings to be Oscar-nominated in acting categories in the 21st century.
And, I also think it is a first for an Actress to get both, a Razzie and an Oscar nomination, in the “Best Actress” category.
… and that would be Sandra Bullock.
If Meryl doesn’t win this year it will be a travesty. NO ONE else could have played this role and since she is the greatest actress of our time, she certainly deserves it after 16 nominations. No one will ever top that!
Do you guys really think that its only nerds who watch Avatar? The whole world is going crazy about it. It passed the 1.5 billion mark. Check out where it’s ranked on imdb, and it’s not about to back down in the next few years I’m sure. If you check out the imdb Top 250 list, it’s a pretty reliable list of the top 250 rated films by the general public. James Cameron isn’t an Oscar-worthy screenwriter, although he DEFINITELY is an Oscar-worthy director, editor, and producer. He can get his audiences so involved in his picture. After seeing Titanic in 1997, everyone was crying after the movie. After Avatar, people seemed blown away. It’s what appears on the screen that’s so great in a Cameron film, which would qualify it for Best Picture and Director. Titanic didn’t get nominated for the writing either, but I challenge you to find even 1 person who has seen Good Will Hunting, As Good as it Gets, L.A. Confidential, The Full Monty, and Titanic (the Best Picture nominees of the year 1997) and believes Titanic shouldn’t have won. In case you don’t know, the Academy Awards for 1997 films had the highest viewership ever of the Academy Awards, thanks to Cameron’s Titanic winning it’s remarkable 11/14 Oscars.
And about The Reader vs. The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight is a great commercial success, but it really isn’t an Oscar-type film. Oscars typically look at more serious films. There certainly are exceptions, but if you want The Dark Knight to win Best Picture, then stop looking to the Oscars and look to some sort of awards that would actually give The Dark Knight that honor, but it sure as hell isn’t the Oscars.
Great work! This is the type of info that are supposed to be shared around the internet. Disgrace on Google for now not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)
