Oscars Meta & Discussion (it's not quite a final club but . . .)

These are the movies we talk about when we talk about film, when we talk about the movies that have inspired and influenced filmmakers and artists, when we talk about the films that have changed our culture, our conversations, when we talk about the images and performances that last, that endure that -

Wait.  No.  Sorry.  That’s this list:

Thank you. I love this and even if the percentages are getting smaller, here's to hoping for TSN and Fincher wins.

(what up, Kristen Stewart!)

Yup. Adventureland was made better because Jesse was one of the leads and without a sparkly vampire to encourage Kristen to be a hack, the lead pairing worked.

Great essay, especially part about Jesse. My thoughts exactly. And damn, I hope it will pays off - and I hope it's not his last nomination. I can't wait for his new projects - so far nothing very interesting, but I am sure behind the scenes wheels are rolling.
Jesse is building his career at the moment, and I hope it pays off.

And by the way, I am not really sure I want him to win this Oscar. Nomination is great, it will open a lot of doors and projects for him, but winning will add extra weight on his shoulders.

This was really interesting to read. I am not that interested in awards shows (except when they provide opportunities for cute snuggles between attractive people), but you make a convincing argument.

Holy crow, awesome post! Reasoned, reasonable, and makes me very excited to watch the awards Sunday.
