Or: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button's 13 nominations
I've just looked at the odds for the first time (at Easy odds. Didn't realise Slumdog and Boyle were quite such a runaway favourites now for film and director.
Taking the Ladbrokes odds for the sake of illustration, here are the six big categories:
BEST FILM:Slumdog Millionaire 1/8The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button 5/1Milk 20/1Frost/Nixon 33/1The Reader 33/1
BEST DIRECTORDanny Boyle 1/7David Fincher 5/1Gus Van Sant 25/1Ron Howard 25/1Stephen Daldry 33/1
BEST LEADING ACTRESSKate Winslet 4/9 Meryl Streep 10/3Anne Hathaway 4/1Angelina Jolie 20/1Melissa Leo 33/1
BEST LEADING ACTORMickey Rourke 1/2Sean Penn 15/8Frank Langella 9/1Brad Pitt 33/1Richard Jenkins 50/1
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:Penelope Cruz 1/2Viola Davis 7/2Marisa Tomei 11/2Amy Adams 14/1Taraji P Henson 16/1
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
Heath Ledger 1/50Philip Seymour Hoffman 20/1Robert Downey Jr 20/1Josh Brolin 25/1Michael Shannon 40/1
Interestingly (or boringly, perhaps) all the favourites are the Bafta winners.

2009 81st Academy Awards
but I guess this thread can be for people who didn't know on New Years Day that Slumdog was the winner.
"boringly" is most def the operative word this year.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 14:31 (seventeen years ago)
This is the first time in my moviegoing life that I have not seen a single Best Picture nominee. And have little interest in any of them, either, except maybe "Milk."
I'm white, btw.

Thought I had seen a thread before but assumed it would have Oscars in the title.
― Alba, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 14:34 (seventeen years ago)
Milk's terrific, Pancakes. You can easily skip all the others.
Only two films involved in these six that I've not seen - The Visitor and Frozen River. Will try to make amends before Sunday, but I doubt I'll manage both.

LOL at the two top-rated broadcasts being 15 years apart. Double LOL at the most recent being 2000. Don't worry, Bill Condon and Larry Mark, I'm sure you'll nail it.

This year's Super Bowl got 94 million viewers. "American Idol" regularly gets 25 million viewers, which is a little less than half the top-rated-ever Oscars broadcast, for a show in its 8th season.
― Pancakes Hackman, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 20:07 (seventeen years ago)
Slumdog Millionaire and The Reader will probably win everything, and I'll have no opinion whatsoever since I've seen neither of them.
If I tune it, you can believe it's because of the fact that Hugh Jackman is exceptionally easy on the eyes and might just do/say/perform something entertaining. That top-of-the-piano leopard-skin number from "The Boy from Oz" would make many things bearable.
― Hey Jude, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 20:09 (seventeen years ago)
the Super Bowl is not comparable to anything else (mostly bcuz ppl just have it on while they are humping or eating nachos). xp

OK, since it's the stupid Oscars thread, how about a fun/snobby game ... Worst nominee of the '00s in each of the major categories. My picks (skipped a lot, obv):
Picture: CrashDirector: Stephen Daldry (more of a cumulative outrage, though The Reader clinched it)Actor: Sean Penn, I Am SamActress: Halle Berry, Monster's BallSupporting Actor: William Hurt, A History of ViolenceSupporting Actress: Catherine Keener, CapoteOriginal Screenplay: Crash really, but for the sake of not repeating, AmélieAdapted Screenplay: Little Children
― Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 20:55 (seventeen years ago)
Wm Hurt was funny, whereas the rest of the film wasn't much of anything.
hard to argue against Crash or Amelie. I will see my first Daldry film when he makes one and isn't nominated.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 21:02 (seventeen years ago)

Morbs, could you please keep this kind of stuff on the ILF Oscar thread? Seems like a vulgar, searchable thread with "Oscar" in the title and a serious one on ILF is actually a pretty good idea, even if it happened by mistake.
― caek, Thursday, 19 February 2009 20:01 (seventeen years ago)
I didn't realise the one linked to was an I Love Film thread. ILE definitely warrants its own Oscars thread.
― Alba, Thursday, 19 February 2009 20:03 (seventeen years ago)
the Oscars are plenty political, of the lip-service Clintonite millionaire stripe.
the one on ILF isn't serious either. it's an Oscars thread.

I'm already in three pools this year.
The office pool is the lowest stakes but the most participants: there are 24 of us guessing at 14 categories. Based on my first glance at the spreadsheet, it looks like it will come down to actor, supporting actress, adapted screenplay, cinematography, and original song.

Okay…clearly TIVO is not working here…by Gary GrahamI apologize for being ten minutes behind everyone, but i TIVO’d and am trying to catch up on commercials, and boring acceptance speeches. Something tells me I’ll be caught up in about three minutes. But talk about an ADD nightmare. How do you all 1) Watch the show, 2) Post your own blogments, and 3) comment on everyone else’s blogments? Multi-tasking on steroids. But seriously…Jackman is great as a host, but…couldn’t he at least put on an American accent for this? This is the American Oscars, after all. Oh, yeah…I forgot about David Niven way back when.
Yeah! Go back to your own country Jackman!

You know, I loved the whole thing of having actors who have previously won give testimonies to the nominees. It felt like the elders choosing someone for the club. And I especially loved that they did this in lieu of showing soundbite clips, because then it really is the craftsmen testifying instead of some flashy moment.
― Eazy, Monday, 23 February 2009 15:31 (seventeen years ago)

Kingsley & Hopkins: "GUILTY"
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 23 February 2009 15:38 (seventeen years ago)
Since the Oscars fundamentally are not a People magazine poll but movie craftspeople voting for their peers, this was an honest way of manifesting that. Having Christopher Walken indoctrinate Michael Shannon (who will be the next Christopher Walken) worked for me more than watching 10 seconds of acting and deciding whether it merits an award.
It's a bit Bohemian Grove, but again, these are awards nominated and voted for by fellow craftspeople, so having it seem like a guild isn't actually inaccurate.
― Eazy, Monday, 23 February 2009 15:38 (seventeen years ago)
It felt like the elders choosing someone for the club.
Yeah, I thought that part was cool, too. If they do this next year, that'll be something else to bet on. I called Hopkins before he walked out on stage.

In a better world, the assembled actresses would have stood in a circle around Winslet and scolded her for starring in such a shitty film.
Well, that's just bitchy. What's a better scenario for doing it this same way? To me, it sure beat having pairs of actors presenting those awards.
― Eazy, Monday, 23 February 2009 15:42 (seventeen years ago)
sunnny called them bridesmaid's toasts, and it did remind me of that unwatchable scene in rachel getting married. surely they've already run out of actors capable of doing it with a straight face.
― caek, Monday, 23 February 2009 15:42 (seventeen years ago)

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 23 February 2009 15:45 (seventeen years ago)
Again, it really is a guild. They made it look like reality TV, sure, but it's truer to the nature of the award than having pairs of actors as presenters.
I'm guessing we'll learn more soon, but I would think that the actors at least were able to choose who they were endorsing.
It'll be interesting to see whether not showing clips gets more people to actually see the films instead of feeling now like they're seen them, the way I certainly would if I had watched extensive clips from Slumdog Millionaire and The Reader.

"flyover country" now designates every point between NYC and LA

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/tv-reviews/tv-review-the-81st-annual-academy-awards-1003943895.story
The newfangled touches were in the main a towering success because they put the Oscarcast's focus back where it should be: on the nominees and winners rather than some thematic salute to yesteryear. The gambit of having former winners pay homage to the acting nominees with singularly focused tributes to the performers and their roles was so warm and engaging it should be made part of every Academy Awards going forward. The incorporating of classic clips into the best picture intro likewise proved impactful for its sheer simplicity.

flyover vs. fly to. like, plenty of people fly to chicago.
1. fly-over state States in the middle of the United States that generally aren't destinations for travelers or tourists and are generally flown over when traveling from coast to coast.
