PRAWN PARTY ON THE RED CARPET

[kusanivy]

District 9's been nominated for BEST PICTURE!

WHOOT!

Neil Blompkamp and Sharlto Copley must be on cloud...uh nine ;)

Their first feature film for both of them and they get nominated for Best Picture. Pardon my expression but - FOOKIN' SWEET! XD

Hopefully they get it and not say.. Dances with Blue People in Space. :/

But I am pessimistic.

[kusanivy]

Yeah .... I don't hold out much hope for them actually winning. Although I'd be fine with them losing to anyone except the cat-people. Just please, movie gods, NOT Avatar. :P

But it's STILL pretty awesome they got nominated. :)

If my first feature film got nominated for Best Picture, actually winning would just be icing on the cake ;)

[kazahaya]

Oh agreed. It's an honor to be nominated, and all that. And losing is never bad, unless they lose to Blue Cat-People in Space... which would be the only way there could be any disappointment over things. Especially since Scifi never does well except in the area of special effects.
Losing to that would be like sand in the wound of otherwise just mild and bittersweet disappointment but still an honorable loss.

sigh. Ohwell. I am hoping for the best for them and storytelling geeks everywhere.

If it's any encouragement, Precious will give the Blue Cat People a big run for its money on traditional Academy Awards grounds. It wasn't my favourite movie ever but it was sure the hardest-hitting movie about the black American experience you could get.

Please not the glitz, please not the glitz, please not the glitz...

Which is super sad that I'm saying this because if the movie had been praised as good by the critics, had done well enough to recoup and make a bit of a profit at the box office, and had been nominated for some SFX Oscars I would have been content and said "Avatar is a fine movie. A really fine piece of art."

If Blue Cat-People in Space can win Best Picture, Dark Crystal should have! And even I wouldn't argue that.

FOOK YEAH BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!

Oh man I am such a nerd for this movie & so is my amazing art friend Steffi!

I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE AN INDIE WIN THIS BIG OHHH YEAAAH BABY!

[kusanivy]

FOOKIN' EH! ;)

I seriously think I need to be making myself a CJ plushie.

Super-adorable prawnlings for the win! ;D

[kusanivy]

Wow - please tell your friend Steffi she draws AWESOME Prawns! Especially little CJ!

And I hadn't looked at her page yet when I made the comment about Prawn plushies - I didn't realize she'd made one of her own. Cool! :)

[animatrocor]

YAY! I shall pass on the compliments!

Little CJ is name Oliver (based on the MNU tells lies blog that Christopher wrote) LOL
Steffi just ADORES Oliver she always calls him "leeto behbeh" hahaha I think she wants to kidnap him if she could (and dress him up in outfits I have SEEN the drawings haha!)

I gave her this skeletal doll under structure I took out of a rabbit plush - you know those kinds that are all ball jointed and pop into any position? She might make a prawn out of that one day...it would totally make an actual sized Oliver 8D
