I'll have to see the Hurt Locker now *NM* AgentOrange Send a noteboard - 08/03/2010 12:09:29 PM
Best supporting actor:
Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds. Maybe not surprising, but so deserved. A performance that will be remembered for years.

Best animated feature film:
Up, of course. Also expected and deserved.

Best song:
T Bone Burnett: "The weary kind" from Crazy Heart.

Best original screenplay:
The hurt locker. Excellent.

Best animated short:
Logorama.

Best documentary short:
Music by Prudence.

Best live action short:
The new tenants.

Best make up:
Star Trek! And Ben Stiller looked great presenting as Na'vi.

Best adapted screenplay:
Precious. Not the kind of film I'd ever be interested in seeing, but hey, that guy seemed very nice.

Best supporting actress:
Mo'Nique for Precious. I cheered for Kendrick from Up in the air.

Art direction:
Avatar! Couldn't be anything else.

Costume design:
The young Victoria.

Sound editing:
The hurt locker.

Sound mixing:
The hurt locker. Bit of a surprise that Avatar got beaten in technical awards.

Cinematography:
Avatar!

Best original score:
Michael Giacchino for Up. Which I found somewhat depressing. But some people said that about the whole film. But hey I love his work for Lost :P

Visual effects:
Avatar of course.

Best documentary feature:
The cove. Seemed like an important point to make for the poor dolphins.

Film Editing:
The hurt locker.

Best foreign language film:
The secret in their eyes, Argentina.

Best actor in a leading role:
Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart. He has been brilliant for decades, so can't go wrong with that. He actually talks like The Dude, man!

Best actress in a leading role:
Sandra Bullock. That's a bit of a surprise, she has not exactly been known for very deep roles. Too bad it's a football film.

Best director:
Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker, first woman to ever win this award. Has been doing a great job for years, so good for her.

Best film:
The hurt locker! Quite the surprise, but definitely worthy!

That's 6 awards for The hurt locker, 3 for Avatar, 2 for Up, Crazy Heart and Precious. Great results!

For an entertainment admin, you sure are narrow-minded about some quality films out there. - 08/03/2010 03:40:34 PM 489 Views
I can't like nor care about everything. Neither do you, IIRC. - 08/03/2010 03:53:56 PM 387 Views
No, but I'm not an Entertainment Board Admin either. - 08/03/2010 04:06:31 PM 431 Views

He's been a regular on German TV for the last 15-20 years and always really convincing - 08/03/2010 08:15:42 PM 392 Views
Indeed - 08/03/2010 08:17:03 PM 411 Views
is that really even that unusual in Europe? - 08/03/2010 09:08:06 PM 397 Views
To be fair, he is a born Austrian, but works a lot over here. - 08/03/2010 09:24:34 PM 370 Views

Re: Regarding accents - 09/03/2010 07:58:25 AM 353 Views
According to the actor himself his accent is odd - 09/03/2010 10:23:40 AM 394 Views
he didn't even TRY to have a German accent - 09/03/2010 05:53:28 PM 364 Views
There is a group of European actors who act in many languages, yes. - 08/03/2010 09:36:02 PM 502 Views
