Comments on Quick & Dirty Oscar Picks

While I think There Will Be Blood was a better movie than Old Country, I can appreciate giving the Coen bros some well deserved praise.

Juno was great, but nothing earth shattering.

The only one I am really rooting for is Persepolis. Beyond being a more profound film than Ratatouille, giving the award to an Iranian writer/director would be a wonderful gesture.

Although, Ratatouille did contain what is probably my favorite quote of the year-

"Food always comes to those who love to cook."

I more or less agree, Cale. I will still gnash my teeth if There Will Be Blood and Daniel D. get slighted in the least. That film continues to rattle around in my skull, whereas No Country was too flawed to be called a work of genius, which TWBB was in spades.

Sorry, AW is hopefully right "No country" is a far superior film.

I think your main picks are pretty much spot on - and very likely.

Right on for Music (Song): “Falling Slowly,”
Wish they had been up for more nominations....best movie I have seen in a while.

Ratatouille made my skin crawl. I do not want rats, animated/loveable or not, anywhere near my food.

What a terrible film.

Even though it fell short of the Novel, my vote has to go to "No Country for Old Men."

The book impacted me, the movie did so less but that is to be expected.

Moral of the story, best movie is a shadow of the book:)

Janusz Kaminski chucked a hissy fit at you? It's a shame he didn't do it over the phone. The man has a voice like Dr Nick Riviera.

Dang, you were pretty much right on the mark! Impressive, or maybe just another sign that you are a bellwether.

ok,you were right about obama, and you were scary right about the oscars...

any good stock tips? (email me!! don't tell everyone!!)
