Of the ones seen/heard:

Best: Slumdog Millionaire
Worst: The King's Speech (it's alright but I don't think it's best picture of the year worthy. Obviously its based on real life and about overcoming stuff but I like a bit more plot/action/things happening in my films.

Song: The iconic 'Let It Go' of course kink.gif

Slumdog Millionaire's my fave definitely, Return of the King & No Country for Old Men making up the top 3.

I don't think any of them are that bad, though The Departed wasn't really my thing. (though I accidentally voted for The Artist thinking it was a different film gah drama.gif)

As much as I love Let It Go, Lose Yourself is amaze wub.gif

This is a tough one for me. I love the majority of these movies.

Best: Slumdog Millionaire
Worst: No Country For Old Men
Song: Skyfall

However, I don't want to discuss your bad comment about "Crash". You need to watch it again.

I am so close to having a paragraph rant about how bad Crash is but I can't be bothered to smile.gif
It's terrible

Gladiator vs Return Of The King is a duel of two of my favourite movies ever. It has to be Return Of The King winning though.

I've only actually seen two of the others to my knowledge (Slumdog Millionaire and The King's Speech) and while I hate to do it, I enjoyed The King's Speech more than Slumdog Millionaire - so that's getting picked by default even though I still thought it was very impressive.

As for the song, apologies to Lose Yourself, Let It Go, Skyfall and Jai Ho (in that order) but Into The West is incredibly special for me so in a film context, nothing is beating that. wub.gif

Out of what I've seen:

Best: LOTR
Worst: Chicago, though it's not really bad
Song: Al otro lado del río

I've yet to see Slumdog Millionair and The Artist that are leading the poll ohmy.gif

??! I mean it's not peak Scorsese but it's still a blast.

1. 12 Years A Slave
2. Slumdog Millionaire (sometimes I still have nightmares about the camerawork)
3. 'Lose Yourself'

distressed to see The Artist winning the 'worst' poll. what's the deal? it's lovely!

There's something wrong when it's difficult to pick a best film out of a list of best films. Reminds me that the Oscars get it wrong time and time again.

Crash is by no stretch a terrible film but did not deserve to win against Brokeback Mountain.

I watched it with my best friend in the cinema when it was released in my country. We totally disappointed. We laughed with story and the plot. "Atonement" was totally robbed. One of the most unfair winnings for me.

These would have been my best picture winners out of the nominees of the years since 2005:

2005: Anything but Crash
2006: Little Miss Sunshine
2007: Atonement
2008: Slumdog Millionaire
2009: The Blind Side [Avatar and Up just behind]
2010: Toy Story 3
2011: The Help
2012: Les Miserables [Silver Linings Playbook just behind]
2013: Gravity
2014: Boyhood

So I have only agreed with 1 winner in the last 10 years sad.gif

Life Of Pi should've won in 2012, absolutely breath-taking wub.gif. Found Silver Linings Playbook to be extremely disappointing and the singing got too much for me in Les Mis, think I was asleep by the end. laugh.gif
