Slumdog is a disappointment in the nomination catagory. I vote for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Milk

Slumdog is a absolute disappointment mainly because it’s an overrated film. With a totally unrealistic and horribly predictable plot. With the exception of the child actors, the acting (in particular the main actor) is lousy and sluggish. Kite runner, Benjamin Button or Milk are far better films with more entertaining plots and superior acting prowess to deliver greater depth to the screen.

well, the nominations have been declared. and i believe they are fair enough. in my opinion, slumdog millionaire should get the best picture award because it touches a subject which nobody has ever touched before. it’s not come out of a big production house, and yet it’s showcased fantastic cinematic work. kudos to the director and his crew for creating such a vibrant piece on the celluloid.

I believe you should have left Doubt where it was. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button may be a big box office hit but it’s not that well liked despite all those nominations for British Academy Awards. They also gave lots of nominations to The Reader which will not be all that popular with the Academy.
I think that the Curious Case will be another Dreamgirls. Everyone expected it to get a best picture nomination, but didn’t.

Taare Zameen Par must win in best movie in BEST FOREIGN-LANGUAGE FILM. The movie contains nice message to the world and humanity as “Every Child is Special”

Taare Zameen Par is definitely worth a watch for Matured Genre more than the kids

Ledger has to win the oscar…it would be heartbreaking not to give him for his amazing last performance…

Slumdog is an outstanding movie and if it comes head to head with Dark Knight, it should win due to a more realistic portrayal.

Slumdog millionaire was sappy, unbelievable, and contrive. If it wins an oscar – for *anything* – it will be a huge disappointment – maybe even greater than when crash won the oscar for best picture.

“Ploning” was the Philippines entry for the foreign-language Oscar. So “Baler” can’t be be nominated in that category. Perhaps next year, depending on when “Baler” opened in the Philippines.

As a best foreign language movie I would like to mention Baler from the Philippines. It is based on a true story from the end of the 19th century . All the ingredients are there; love ,war, comedy and tragedy. But most of all you can follow the feelings of despare and surprise. Also this is the story of one of the most occupied countries in the world and the fight for freedom and independence.

DEFROST NIXON will win.
Theyll give best actor to Clint Eastwood because the guy is so old but can still hold a rifle without falling over.
Best actress will be Kate Winslet because she’s been nominated so many times and has lost so many times.
See, it’s all about quality.

I could be completely, totally totally totally wrong but I still think that The Dark Knight will win the best picture Oscar.

WALL-E will win best animated feature and I’m wiling to bet it’ll get a nomination for best picture as well. I think that WALTS WITH BASHIR will win best foreign film.
Clint Eastwood may get a best director nomination, too. Not for Gran Torino but for Changeling.
