I'm...pretty sure I get it! (But I'll be coming back to this post, just in cases.) Well, now I have more hope. I think. My favorite still doesn't have a shot, but as long as something deserving wins, I'll be OK.

Haha, Stats has surprisingly helpful to me. What is your favorite this year anyway?

la_petite_singe January 26 2010, 03:34:38 UTC

A Single Man. :\ I never really thought it'd get Best Picture, but now I'm trying to force myself to accept that it's going to get shut out entirely, and it is very sad for me, especially since the same thing happened to my favorite movie of last year (Frost/Nixon). I can't win.

I totally need to see it. It was one of my most anticipated. I'm actually quite surprised it's not making much of showing for Best Picture, especially with 10 nominees. But I guess first time directors don't get much help in that area.

Frost/Nixon got in when there were only 5 nominees last year, which is pretty good. I really liked it too so I was happy enough with what it got.

I'll have to come back and read this later. lol

But OMG, Hurt Locker gif! I was just thinking I needed one.=P

Haha, I just glanced over it again and it is overwhelming. LOL. I get carried away.

That was just such a cool scene.

I get it. Anything that helps IB makes me happy. Bingo gif!

breakattiffanys January 26 2010, 04:00:51 UTC

Yay, more IB = better.

..... I have a migraine so I totally cannot even comprehend this post right now. Will be back later since I actually do want to know how this whole Oscar thing works.

You have plenty of time. Even after nominations come out next week, there's a very long lag until the actual ceremony.

delarges January 26 2010, 08:27:34 UTC

I'm proud to say I got it!
Reading this is very reassuring :) AVATAR MAY NOT WIN BEST PICTURE AT THS OSCARS AND THAT MAKES ME RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY.

breakattiffanys January 26 2010, 22:28:16 UTC

YAY! I'm definitely feeling better now that Avatar lost the PGA (the one award it was pre-destined to win). Of course, who knows, DGA could go batshit and give it to Cameron next week.

This awards season is like an abusive boyfriend. We just got beaten to crap last week at the GGs, but now he bought us flowers this weekend!
