Tell me about it. I used to watch AFV all the time, and I often scratched my head at how the stupidest, and often unfunny videos would be nominated and win. Funniest videos I can think up off the top of my head, granted, I do believe they won at least the 10 grand, but not the 100,000 one. I might be wrong though. Man Screams Like A Girl - YouTube Funny Video - Shaving Cream Prank! - YouTube Guy gets punched in the face on halloween COMMENT!!.mp4 - YouTube Porta Potty Accident - YouTube But back on track. I'm not surprised, but disappointed. The oscars have been jokes for a long time, and I don't understand why the sheep in hollywood don't stand up to them.
Absolutely true. The original is superior. It felt as though the Academy just arbitrarily chose that year to finally reward a director who's best work seems to be behind him.
well we're discussing this towards the bottom of the forum pages under general discussion movies and television I was 5 for 6!!!! (I only missed best director, I thought Scorsese was a lock) Not bad though right!! Show some love show some love
I love how Hugo won a bunch of awards it didn't deserve to compensate for not winning the ones it did deserve. Of course, at the detriment of truly remarkably crafted films from a technical standpoint.
But, isn't that what the oscars almost always do????????? Hey, in the last ten years, how many best picture oscar wins are considered house hold classics today?????
I felt that way with The Hurt Locker. THL had excellent, the best performances of the year, but the movie itself really sucked. But, it won best picture and director, but no best actors, which I thought it deserved.
I disagree with DOTM not winning best VFX... but I can live with it. However, I cannot and WILL not accept losing in Sound Design.
That's ancillary to the point I'm making, which is that Scorcese has made several films of truly Oscar quality, but (until tonight) only been rewarded for one of his worst. I haven't seen Hugo, but I hear it's wonderful.
Gee, Transformers may have not won anything, But I had a good laugh at Harry Potter not winning anything.
Transformers Dark of the Moon: The Score-11- Shockwave's Revenge- Steve Jablonsky - YouTube DECEPTICONS!!!!LET THE SLAUGHTERING BEGIN!!!!
I would have accepted losing VFX to Apes maybe, but I knew going in it wouldn't win anything. At least a bunch of uptight Hollywood douches had to watch a few seconds of DOTM
I think a lot of Hugo's CGI was done on Hugo himself. No way could someone look like that much of a ****** without some sort of visual FX.
Looking at this from where I'm living... I can almost without a doubt say, that the Oscar Nomination's Ceremony looks allot like the Euro Vision Song Contest. It has become so predictable and an uninteresting show for the masses, that it isn't funny or worth anything anymore. What does it take to return the trust, the credibility, the believe and the worth into a Contest Event that has a name that almost everyone knows the world all over? It looks like it has gotten stuck in the mists of time. Do we have to blow up entire cities next time? Do we need to destroy the planet? No... I say for Transformers 4, we need to do something out of our minds... we need to do something that no one has ever seen before. OKay... I admitt that Mr. Bay has allready done that by making our beloved TF Characters coming alive on the big screen in a AWESOME way. But I say that I think it is wise if we would make a long feature film like, for example, "Close Encouters of the Third Kind" and in lenght wise make it a three hour feature. I know that that is hardly ever made possible anymore due to some regulation or law. We need to go to Cybertron in Trans Formers 4! And not just go there, but also explore the planet and go completely beyond our comprehension of what we allready know of Cybertron, it's past and present and it's E.M.C.O.. (Electro Mechanicle Cybernetic Organisms) Not just wauw the croud with explosions and mass destruction effect's, but show Majestic objects, structures and being's and bringing them to the screen that would dazzle the mind of viewers. Making the audiance exit the theaters and cinema's with jaws dragging over the carpets and eyes wide like saucers. I think it's about that time to do something like that.
I am honestly dissapointed and sad as a TF Fan. I mean, I expected TF or Apes to win than fucking Hugo. The Academy are sure Scorcrese Lovers. (No offence to Scorese). But really, Dotm was good in Sound Mixing and Editing. The Academy has a median age of 62, 77% are male and 94% are Caucisan and 23% have never been nominated or won any movie category. I think with a median age of 62 the Academy would not be able to enjoy a damn fantasy movie like HP, Rota, or Dotm.
Yeah for me it was predicatable. I still depise the academy for not giving Michael Fassbender an nomination for Shame.
at this point, I honestly don't give a rat's ass if they're offended or not, if anything I WANT them to be offended
Should of at least won Sound mixing at the most. I mean k'mon, the film alone did more money than Hugo.
Very disappointing DOTM didn't win one fucking thing. I didn't expect it to win all of its categories, but at least one!? I mean come on! Transformers gets screwed over yet again because of old ass, bias little shits.
