Usually rent very long wait movies somewhere else or just avoid them.
I kinda think Avatar will win best picture despite not deserving it. Sure it was good looking, but not well rounded. Up probably won't be nominated due to it being animated and the Academy people being cockbites. Despite with how much CGI is in movies now most of them can barely be considered live action but fully animated films are somehow out of the running for who knows what fucking reason /rant. Really, it's total longshot, but I'm holding out hope for Where the Wild Things Are being on that list.
As far as Spielberg goes, I'd say Schindler's List. Afterward his films started to become manipulative and preachy.

Oh my god it is fucking FREEZING here. The high tomorrow? 2! And congrats on getting to go the wedding! I'd say get them something heartfelt and cheap and then maybe a gift card to go with it. That always works well for me.
Nine sucked because it didn't really contain a plot. The plot which exists is just a means of conveying women and songs to the audience. We get it: the director is a conflicted man, he cheats on his wife, he's ~*Italian*~!!!!!!!!, but this is not a deep or important or particularly interesting story, and if he was an investment banker or a clerk in a shoe store instead of a director, what little interest most people have in the story would evaporate altogether.
Stories like that can succeed if they're set in a time and a place and hinge on a subject that people consider appealing and easy to relate to, or that they consider exotic and interesting, but even then they usually fail. For example, Rob Marshall also directed Memoirs of a Geisha, which did mildly better at the box office despite not being much more complex or interesting on its own merits because Japan is legitimately exotic and interesting.

Italian cinema of the 1960s? Not so much.
