I watch a lot of TCM and enjoy the contrast of plot vs effects of todays films. I'm glad Jeff Bridges won but never in a million years would I have cast a stereotypical name like "Bad Blake". My brother and I had a bet on six categories and we both went 3/3. I guess I'm a tad quirky but almost anything Tarentino does is worth seeing to me! The whole oscar thing is kind of cheesy but it still creates a little buzz but it seems less so every year.My favorite of all time - it's hard to decide THE favorite but I still pick "Cool Hand Luke".

Blind Side was a good story though not sure I believe the family's intentions were entirely altruistic. Loved The Hurt Locker. Up had some cute moments too. Favorite movie – Remember the Titans

Liked the effects in Avatar. Blind Side was a good story though not sure I believe the family’s intentions were entirely altruistic. Loved The Hurt Locker. Up had some cute moments too.

i compare it to food…why should steak & potatoes be chosen as the best food….who gets to say “it’s the best”?
what about italian or mexican or chinese or seafood….it’s all about what each person likes….
who’the best guitar player?….clapton or chet atkins or segovia??…it’s all about what each person likes….
so why does the “industry” have to “claim” they know what movie is the best or what song is the best each year???
i mean good grief!! it’s all about what each person likes….
most of the time the truly best movie or best artist or song never even gets nominated or mentioned…..
so come on “which is best…fried chicken or pizza?”

Shawshank Redemption was a favorite big budget film back in the '90s, with Morgan Freeman and Tim what's his name. documentaries and smaller indy films instead of blockbusters.

I mostly like documentaries and low budget films with a point. I still want to see "Precious" but i'm afraid it will be overly sappy. The effects of Avatar were cool but it was too big and mainstream for me. I went because I wanted to see the effects and so I did. Favorite of all time? - The 1st Godfather, Goodfellas I saw only one of the films this year and it was Avatar and I was a little disappointed.
