a fanboy faces the riality.

Yep, the "reality" that the Academy is once again sticking to the usual safe but completely undeserving films.
In a few years just look back at 2011 and remember the standout films, like Drive, Shame, 50/50, Warrior or Tinker, Tyler, Soldier, Spy. There are others to that are alot more deserving than the likes of Hugo which me and the old man reckon is easily Scorceses worst and my nephew was just plain bored in the cinema. War Horse is just Speilburg by numbers only the cheese in turned up to the full, I can't take any film about a horse serioulsy tho.
Haven't seen Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close only because the trailer looks awful.
Decendants ? George Clooney cannot act, unless he happens to be nothing like the one character he's played in every film he's ever been in.
I also thought Hollywood had moved on from the whole "race" thing. Saw this poster, made me lol...


The Artist will probably win just for the fact that it looks like it was made in the 30's.
I did like Moneyball tho, I think Brad Pitt can be a good actor when he tries.

Since I'm already on a rant, guess what all these films have in common?
Serpico, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Full Metal Jacket, Boyz N the Hood, Leaving Las Vegas, The Usual Suspects, Se7en, Trainspotting,The People vs. Larry Flynt, Boogie Nights, The Truman Show, The Big Lebowski, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Being John Malkovich, Almost Famous, The Passion of the Christ, Walk The Line, Pan's Labyrinth, American Gangster, The Dark Knight, The Wrestler...and many more...
None of them got even a nomination for best picture the year they came out, but whats even funnier is when you look at what films did.

Think this is my longest post ever lol. I love films, hate when great ones dont get the recognition they deserve.
