Het grote jaarlijkse film- (en ook wel TV-) awards topic .

Na De jaarlijkse prijzenregen en Het centrale filmprijsjestopic! moet er natuurlijk ook dit seizoen een topic komen waar we kunnen melden hoe onterecht de winnaars dit jaar weer zijn.

We hebben het dan over


De Independent Spirit Awards, uitgereikt aan de onafhankelijke films, de kleinere, low-budget producties dus.


De prijzen die worden uitgereikt door de SAG (Screen Actors Guild), zij geven uiteraard enkel awards aan acteurs, actrices en ensembles (zowel film als TV).


De prijzen van de WGA (Writers Guild of America). U weet wel, degenen die nu aan het staken zijn. Zij reiken prijzen uit voor scripts (film + TV)


De regisseurs hebben dus ook een Guild, die geven bovenstaand ding weg (zonder Scorsese, die krijg je er niet bij) voor het regisseren van films, docu's, series, soaps,...


De Bafta's, dat zijn de Oscars, maar dat op zijn Brits.


Zowat de belangrijkste Amerikaanse award na de Oscars, de Golden Globe.


En natuurlijk de Academy Awards zelve.

In dit topic worden nominaties en winnaars, aangevuld met oeverloos gelul .

En dan maar meteen de nominaties voor de Independent Spirit Awards:

Deze awards zijn niet echt relevant voor de anderen, alleen durven films die hier echt vaak worden genomineerd door te dringen bij de grote jongens (vorig jaar Little Miss Sunshine).

Ik vind het wel opmerkelijk dat The Diving Bell and the Butterfly hier vaak is genomineerd, maar niet voor acteur en dat is toch het opvallendste element van die film.

Ik vermoed trouwens dat ik dit jaar dit topic grotendeels in mijn eentje zal moeten volspammen .

De National Board of Review heeft ondertussen zijn winnaars bekend gemaakt, dit is de eerste serieuze indicatie van de Oscars.

Best Film: "No Country for Old Men"
Best Director: Tim Burton, "Sweeney Todd"
Best Actor: George Clooney, "Michael Clayton"
Best Actress: Julie Christie, "Away from Her"
Best Supporting Actor: Casey Affleck, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
Best Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan, "Gone Baby Gone"
Best Foreign Film: "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
Best Documentary: "Body of War"
Best Animated Feature: "Ratatouille"
Best Ensemble Cast: "No Country for Old Men"
Breakthrough Performance by an Actor: Emile Hirsch, "Into the Wild"
Breakthrough Performance by an Actress: Ellen Page, "Juno"
Best Directorial Debut: Ben Affleck, "Gone Baby Gone"
Best Original Screenplay (tie): Diablo Cody, "Juno" and Nancy Oliver, "Lars and the Real Girl"
Best Adapted Screenplay: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, "No Country for Old Men

Ze hebben ook nog een top 10:

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
"Atonement"
"The Bourne Ultimatum"
"The Bucket List"
"Into the Wild"
"Juno"
"The Kite Runner"
"Lars and the Real Girl"
"Michael Clayton"
"Sweeney Todd"

In het verleden zaten er meestal 4 of zelfs 5 van de uiteindelijke oscargenomineerden in die top 10, dus voor de films die hier niet tussen staan, ziet het er niet zo goed uit. Vooral There Will Be Blood is een opvallende afwezige en Bourne een vreemde aanwezige. Voor No Country for Old Men is het dan weer slecht nieuws dat de winnaar van de NBR vrijwel nooit met de film-oscar aan de haal gaat.

Bij de acteerprijzen is vooral Clooney onverwacht. Bij Casey Affleck vind ik het erg tof dat hij wint, maar het is uiteraard volstrekt belachelijk dat die in supporting zit.

Ook nog een top 5 foreign films:

"4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days"
"The Band's Visit"
"The Counterfeiters"
"La Vie en Rose"
"Lust, Caution"

Dat betekent dan weer niet zoveel, van die films mogen alleen 4 Months en Counterfeiters meedoen bij de oscars (ook Diving Bell doet daar niet mee). Vorig jaar was Das Leben der Anderen hier ook niet genomineerd, dus dat zegt niet echt iets.

De L.A. Film Critics Awards (met telkens de runner-up)

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Janusz Kaminski, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

NEW GENERATION: Sarah Polley, Away from Her (niet gezien, maar elke award die Polley wint is een reden voor )

INDEPENDENT/EXPERIMENTAL: Colossal Youth directed by Pedro Costa

Nu wel een There Will Be Blood-feestje, Blanchett wordt als doodgeverfde favoriete voor bijrol opnieuw geklopt door Amy Ryan. Leuk voor Persepolis, eigenlijk beter dan Ratatouille, maar normaal gezien kansloos tegen zo'n Amerikaanse marketingmachine.

Geen idee waar die Langella plots vandaan komt. Diving Bell and the Butterfly doet het ook hier weer goed, maar doet dus niet mee bij de Oscars (althans niet bij Foreign Language en dat zou wel degene zijn waarbij ze de grootste kans maakten).

Toch eens Blanchett, hier weer veel Blood.

Niet echt. Niet alleen omdat het "maar" een Française is, maar ik vermoed dat ze de biopic-performances beu worden. Ik ook trouwens. Uiteraard gun ik het haar wel, ze was zeker even goed als Foxx, PSH, Witherspoon, Blanchett en al die anderen. Ik denk ook dat Christie een soort rol neerzet die ik meer kan waarderen dan de doorsnee biopicrol.

Ik geef trouwens de voorkeur aan de acteerprestaties waar men met een bepaald gegeven begint, maar het personage toch zelf nog verder invult (zoals Cotillard deed, maar ook Phoenix in Walk the Line en eigenlijk ook Mirren in The Queen). Ik ben niet zo'n fan van die 100% kopie imitaties à la Blanchett & PSH inclusief accentjes en persoonlijke tikjes. Dat vind ik geen acteerprestaties, maar truukjes en gimmicks.

Als ik op trailer afga, herhaalt Blanchett dat nog eens (tot in extreme) in I'm Not There, ik heb zo'n vermoeden dat ik me daar opnieuw ga aan irriteren.

Ik weet niet of dit al ergens stond, maar de preselectie van beste animatie voor de oscars:

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
Bee Movie
Beowulf
Meet the Robinsons
Persepolis
Ratatouille
Shrek the Third
The Simpsons Movie
Surf's Up
Tekkonkinkreet
TMNT

Beowullf vind ik echt geen animatie . Ook wil ik niet snobberig doen, maar eigenlijk vond ik Persepolis en Tekkonkinkreet de twee beste uit dat rijtje .

De ceremonie zelf zou wel eens flop kunnen worden, sommige sterren zouden niet aanwezig zijn indien het WGA-AMPTP conflict niet is opgelost.

Ik blijf me verbazen over de vele nominaties die steeds terugkeren voor Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Ik heb de film niet gezien, dus misschien zijn ze wel terecht, maar toch verbazend, voor een film die in Europa zelf nauwelijks impact had. OK, hij won wat in Cannes, maar ik denk dat de meerderheid nog nooit van de film heeft gehoord.

En Clint maakt eens een jaar geen film, nomineren ze hem toch nog voor original score .

De nominaties van de London Film Critics Circle, die mogen natuurlijk niet ontbreken.

Het leek even een erg open jaar te worden, maar de Coens (ook als producers voor No Country), Amy Ryan, Julie Christie en Daniel Day Lewis mogen toch al overwegen om een plaatsje te gaan zoeken voor hun oscar.

Alleen Bardem/Affleck lijkt nog een duel te worden bij de grotere Oscars.

Bij Foreign zou ik mijn geld toch zetten op de Roemeen, aangezien andere favorieten zoals Lust, Caution, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The Lives of Others, La Vie en Rose en Zwartboek ( ) om diverse redenen niet mogen meedoen.

De twee screenplayprijzen zouden best wel eens naar No Country en Juno kunnen gaan.

Omdat de film meedeed voor Taiwan en ze de film niet Taiwans (Taiwanees, Taiwanesque, Taiwanerig?) genoeg vonden.

Not-So-Obviously Worst Film
Youth Without Youth/Bee Movie (Tie)

Er zitten ook awards tussen die ook voor TV gelden (de Globes oa.), daarom staat het topic niet onder een filter.

Bij de oscars (want daar gaat het om, de rest is slecht inleiding) denk ik dat Atonement en Scaphandre uiteindelijk niets gaan winnen. Nou ja, misschien costume design of zoiets voor Atonement en Cinematograpy voor Scaphandre, maar geen grote oscars.

Scaphandre had Foreign Language al binnen kunnen hebben, maar is niet genomineerd, dus....

quote:

Op maandag 24 december 2007 15:09 schreef Gillingham het volgende:
Waarom is Scaphandre niet voor Foreign Language genomineerd?
Ik vind Atonement overigens best wel een academy-film.

Omdat Frankrijk Persepolis heeft genomineerd.

Mijn prognoses zijn trouwens gebaseerd op trends/hypes/andere awards, niet op persoonlijke mening. Alles kan, maar sommige dingen zijn ondertussen al onwaarschijnlijk geworden.

Mwa, Scaphandre heb ik dus nog niet gezien, maar die andere twee wel en Persepolis vond ik toch wel duidelijk beter dan La Vie en Rose. Cotillard vind ik super, maar als film heeft hij toch wel serieuze gebreken.

quote:

Golden Globes Not Going To Air?

With less than a fortnight to go, organisers for the Golden Globes have begun to panic as with the writer's strike continuing, awards shows are looking less and less likely to happen this year.

On Wednesday the Hollywood Foreign Press Association issued a statement claiming it had begun discussions with the Writer's Guild to "enter into an interim agreement", much like that David Letterman did which allowed his show to go back into production with its writers.

Not long after, the Guild released its own statement basically saying that such an agreement will not be happening and that members of the Guild will still be picketing the Golden Globe Awards next Sunday.

A few minutes after that, the Screen Actors Guild issued its own statement saying that unless there is an agreement, it will advise our members to not cross the picket lines - in other words major stars (including many of the nominees) are unlikely to show up.

Misschien komen de Globes er niet eens.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar eveneens.

Het is wel vreemd dat Potter en Spider-Man 3 er niet tussen staan en Evan Almighty en I Am Legend ( ) wel.

Tussen haakjes staat het aantal punten (denk ik).

De NSFC heeft wel wat aanzien, maar heeft ook meestal net iets andere keuzes dan de rest. Ze bestaat ook slechts uit een 60-tal leden, waarvan er zelfs maar 40 hebben gestemd, dus de impact is vrij beperkt.

De Broadcast Film Critics Association is de grootste. Ook de belangrijkste. Winnaars worden morgen bekend gemaakt.

Ik denk dat de BFCA na de Globes en de diverse union-gerelateerde awards (SAG, WGA, DGA,...) de belangrijkste zijn, ook qua indicatie voor de oscars.

Het lijkt erop dat men niet van plan is de Golden Globes uit te delen zonder acteurs en men weigert ook een ceremonie te houden zonder TV-uitzending. Voorlopig voorstel: de Globes uitstellen.

Ik weet het niet, ik vind een goed script nog relevanter voor de kwaliteit van een film dan de regisseur.

Een briljant regisseur kan met een kutscript geen sterke film maken. Een kutregisseur kan met een superscript nog steeds een sterke film maken. Vind ik dan.

De Broadcast Film Critics Awards winnaars, de eerste echt relevante awards met enige invloed:

Best Picture: No Country for Old Men
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
Best Actress: Julie Christie, Away From Her
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Best Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone
Best Director: Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Best Writer: Diablo Cody, Juno
Best Young Actor: Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada, The Kite Runner
Best Young Actress: Saoirse Ronan, Atonement
Best Composer: Jonny Greenwood, There Will Be Blood
Best Song: "Falling Slowly", Once
Best Animated Feature: Ratatouille
Best Comedy Movie: Juno
Best Family Film: Enchanted
Best Foreign Language Film: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Best Acting Ensemble: Hairspray
Best Documentary: Sicko

Geen verrassingen, heel, heel erg voorspelbaar, erg conservatief en dus ook een beetje tegenvallend.

Trouwens, nu ik wat films heb gezien, vind ik een paar keuzes erg vreemd. Dan bedoel ik niet meteen keuze voor winnaars, maar de categorie waarin ze worden geplaatst.

Affleck in supporting is natuurlijk de opvallendste (en flagrantste), maar ook Ronan in supporting duwen en Knightley lead... mja, dat vind ik toch ook op het randje.

Ook Christie vind ik veel meer supporting dan lead, die film gaat niet over de vrouw met Alzheimer, maar over de echtgenoot en hoe hij hier mee omgaat, ze heeft nauwelijks eigen scenes, alleen scenes waarin hij haar bezoekt.

Ze zouden hier echt regels voor moeten opstellen i.p.v. studio's te laten kiezen in welke categorie ze een rol wensen te dumpen.

De nominaties van de Directors Guild of America:

Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
The Coens, No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
Sean Penn, Into the Wild
Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Degenen die hier niet tussen staan, zien hun kansen op een oscarnominatie voor de regie serieus slinken en kunnen een overwinning wel helemaal vergeten.

Verliezers zijn dus Reitman (Juno), Burton (Sweeney Todd) en Wright (Atonement).

Die kerel is een lid van de academy en heeft een lijstje bijgehouden (inclusief datums) van alle screeners/DVD's die hij heeft gekregen om zijn objectief oordeel te kunnen vellen.

Ook blijkt dat hij zijn taak serieus opneemt, want hij heeft heel veel inschrijvingen van foreign language gezien, msschien wel interessant om te weten wat iemand die zowaar veel heeft gezien en dus alles kan vergelijken ervan denkt. Voor de lage landen betekent dit dat hij Duska ontzettend vervelend vond en dat hij hoopt dat Ben X een nominatie krijgt .

Nou, nou, daar krijgt No Country (ondanks script en Bardem) toch een klapje.

Oh ja, ook nog even een voor Extras, Duchovny, Fey en Piven.

Eddie Vedder ook nog voor Into the Wild .

Toch wordt het nog spannend of Atonement uberhaupt wel een oscarnominatie gaat krijgen.

Naast There Will Be Blood en No Country for Old Men zijn er nog veel films die Atonement kunnen bedreigen. The Kite Runner, Into the Wild, Diving Bell & The Butterfly, Sweeney Todd en Michael Clayton.... zelfs Juno en heel misschien American Gangster.

Het probleem voor Atonement is dat deze overwinning geen impact meer heeft op de oscar-nominaties, die moesten namelijk gisteren binnen zijn. Als ze genomineerd zijn, kan het natuurlijk wel gevolgen hebben voor de uiteindelijke winst.

Maar goed, Crash had niet eens een nominatie voor de Globes, dus wat betekent het allemaal? .

De nominaties van de PGA, misschien wel de belangrijkste referentie voor de best picture nominaties (ze hebben vaak 4 of zelfs alle genomineerden van de oscars).

PRODUCER OF THE YEAR AWARD IN THEATRICAL MOTION PICTURES

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" (Miramax)
"Juno" (Fox Searchlight)
"Michael Clayton" (Warner Bros.)
"No Country for Old Men" (Miramax/Paramount Vantage)
"There Will Be Blood" (Paramount Vantage/Miramax)

Atonement, Into the Wild en The Kite Runner dus niet. Als er nog één van die 5 wegvalt, dan verwacht ik dat het Juno is. Ik zie dan eerder Into the Wild verschijnen dan Atonement.

Een voorselectie van de Foreign Language categorie bij de Oscars:

Austria, “The Counterfeiters,” Stefan Ruzowitzky, director
Brazil, “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation,” Cao Hamburger, director
Canada, “Days of Darkness,” Denys Arcand, director
Israel, “Beaufort,” Joseph Cedar, director
Italy, “The Unknown,” Giuseppe Tornatore, director
Kazakhstan, “Mongol,” Sergei Bodrov, director
Poland, “Katyn,” Andrzej Wajda, director
Russia, “12,” Nikita Mikhalkov, director
Serbia, “The Trap,” Srdan Golubovic, director

Het lijstje heeft een relatief hoog -gehalte.

Vooral vreemd dat de Spaanse, Franse en Duitse inzendingen er niet inzetten en dan wel de Italiaanse, die kreeg nu niet meteen de beste kritieken. Onze Roemeense vrienden maakten dan misschien geen oscarfilm, maar kwamen in zoveel andere lijstjes terug dat ik toch wel een nominatie had verwacht (wat ook wel gold voor The Orphanage). Het gebruikelijke "Hey, die naam van die regisseur herken ik, dat zal wel een goeie zijn"-regeltje wordt met Arcand, Tornatore, Wajda en Mikhalkov wel mooi gevolgd.

Vorig jaar was de Foreign Language categorie echt zó veel sterker dan Best Picture dat het een beetje beschamend was, misschien wilden ze een herhaling vermijden?

Goed, er zullen wel sterke films tussen zitten, maar ik vrees stiekem toch een beetje voor een nieuwe Tsotsi (wat was die film ).

How Do You Say "Oscar Scandal" in Romanian?

Tuesday, January 15, 2008 — a date that shall live in Academy Awards infamy. Earlier today, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled the nine films that have been shortlisted for this year's Foreign Language Oscar, of which five will comprise the final list of nominees to be announced (along with all Oscar nominations in all categories) one week from today. And here's the rub: The year's most acclaimed foreign-language film, Romanian director Cristian Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days isn't among them. This isn't, mind you, one of those periodic cases of a film being disqualified on the basis of the Academy's notoriously serpentine rules and regulations, as happened earlier this year with the Israeli film The Band's Visit and two years ago with Michael Haneke's Caché. No, 4 Months has been in this race from the beginning as Romania's official entry, competing against submissions from some 62 other countries, and its failure to advance to this penultimate round of the nominating process is as embarrassing a blunder as any in the Academy's history: You can put it right up there with the Best Picture win by Crash (2004).

To put things into perspective, 4 Months isn't the only significant foreign film shut out by the Academy this year. Of the 63 eligible titles, also failing to make the shortlist were Marjane Satrapi's animated Persepolis (from France), as well as the film with which it shared the Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Mexican director Carlos Reygadas' transfixingly beautiful Mennonite marital drama Silent Light; Hong Kong director Johnnie To's masterful neo-noir Exiled; another Cannes prize-winner, South Korean director Lee Chang-Dong's Secret Sunshine, which also placed first by a wide margin in the “best undistributed film” category of the recent Village Voice/L.A. Weekly film critics poll; and the effortlessly charming two-hander Belle Toujours, by the 99-year-old Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira.

Each of those omissions, however, is markedly less surprising than that of 4 Months. Persepolis, for example, is considered a shoo-in for a nomination in the Academy's Animated Feature category, and it could be that voters on the Foreign Language committee felt that the film would be sufficiently recognized that way. Genre films like Exiled are almost never acknowledged by the Academy in any non-technical categories. And hardcore art-house directors like Lee, Reygadas and Oliveira are perennial Oscar bridesmaids: Just consider that in the 51 years since the Academy created the competitive Foreign Language category, Theo Angelopoulos, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the Dardenne brothers, Jean-Luc Godard, Haneke, Abbas Kiarostami and Wong-Kar Wai have failed to amass a single nomination between them, despite having had one or more of their films submitted by their respective countries. (Even Academy favorite Ingmar Bergman, who thrice won the foreign-language Oscar, failed to earn so much as a nomination for arguably his most famous film, The Seventh Seal, in 1957.)

But 4 Months is something different: It's the sort of movie the Academy has often acknowledged in the past, which is to say a film of high artistic merit that it also easily accessible for the general moviegoing audience. (For other, Oscar-winning examples, see Costa-Gavras' Z, Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Bertrand Blier's Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, Bergman's Fanny & Alexander, and Pedro Almodovar's All About My Mother.) That's one of the reasons why 4 Months has been a sell-out attraction at film festivals around the world, from highbrow affairs like Cannes (where it won the coveted Palme d'Or of the main competition) to less industry-centric regional events like Telluride and L.A.'s own AFI Fest.

Even my own mother — an elementary school administrator and about as plain-folks a moviegoer as one could hope to find — gushed about the film after seeing it at last year's New York Film Festival, and it's not hard to understand why: Mungiu's film isn't an intellectual exercise but rather a visceral one, holding the audience rapt with its breathlessly intense story of two college roommates attempting to negotiate an illegal abortion in Communist-era Romania. Unfolding in something close to real-time, in long hand-held camera set-ups as confidently executed as anything in the Bourne franchise, the movie gets its hooks into you early and deep, and for the next two hours dares you to break its gaze. And beat for beat, Mungiu's brilliant direction is matched by the performances of his two stars, Anamaria Marinca and Laura Vasiliu, and by the terrifying Vlad Ivanov as the backroom abortionist Mr. Bebe.

Since Cannes, the accolades for 4 Months have been piling up faster than one can count — not just from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, but from the famously obscurantist National Society of Film Critics and the unapologetically populist Broadcast Film Critics Association too, plus Golden Globe and Independent Spirit Award nominations for foreign-language film, and the European Film and European Director of the year awards at the recent European Film Awards in Berlin. Given all of that, an Oscar nomination might have seemed inevitable, but for several months now there have been rumors (many of them voiced by Hollywood Elsewhere columnist Jeffrey Wells) that Oscar voters had not responded especially strongly to the film at official Academy screenings. Which raises the question: Which Oscar voters exactly are we talking about here?

As explained in the Academy's official press release:

“Foreign Language Film nominations for 2007 are being determined in two phases. The Phase I committee, consisting of several hundred Los Angeles-based members, screened the 63 eligible films and their ballots determined the above shortlist. A Phase II committee, made up of ten randomly selected members from the Phase I group, joined by specially invited ten-member contingents in New York and Los Angeles, will view the shortlisted films and select the five nominees for the category.”

This is the second year now that the Academy has employed this two-phase nominating process for the Foreign Language category — an attempt, Academy president Sid Ganis said in a 2006 press release, “to see if we can permit busy working members to participate in the [nominating] process without them having to commit to several months’ worth of screenings.” In the meantime, those “several months' worth” of Phase I screenings continue to be attended largely by Academy members who have a lot of spare time on their hands, namely retirees. And of those several hundred who serve on the committee, many still fail to see the minimum number of films required in order to nominate — this despite a 1987 Academy rule change that split the nominating committee into three groups, thereby reducing by one-third the number of eligible films any one committee member was required to see. (In a 1989 New York Times interview, Academy spokesman Bruce Davis explained that only 50% of the previous year's 450-member Foreign Language committee had met the minimum nominating requirements.)

"I've had better days," producer and Foreign Language nominating committee chairman Mark Johnson said when reached by phone late Tuesday afternoon, adding that, while he had nothing to say against any of the nine shortlisted titles, he was "stunned" by the omission of "a couple of films" from the roster.

Johnson went on to compare the day's events to the 2003 Foreign Language Oscar nominations, which failed to include the acclaimed Brazilian film City of God, which in turn went on to be nominated in four non-foreign categories (including Director and Adapted Screenplay) at the 2004 Oscars. Alas, such a happy ending will likely elude 4 Months, owing to another arcane Academy rule: While City of God hadn't yet opened commercially in the U.S. at the time of its Foreign Language Oscar veto and could therefore qualify the following year in all other categories, 4 Months played a one-week qualifying engagement in a single Los Angeles theater at the end of 2007, thereby making it eligible for all Oscar categories this year, when relatively few Academy members (outside of those on the Foreign Language committee) are likely to have seen it.

"I thought we had made big strides last year, but apparently not big enough," said Johnson with regard to the two-phase nominating process. Asked if further retooling (including the possible involvement of more active Academy members earlier in the nominating process) may lie in the future, Johnson was unambiguous. "That's what has to be done, because in my mind it can't continue like this," he said. "I don't believe these choices reflect the Academy at large."

That brings us to the nine films that did make this year's Foreign Language shortlist. Of them, I have seen only two — Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky's wonderful The Counterfeiters, which has long been considered a likely nominee, and Cinema Paradiso director Giuseppe Tornatore's histrionic and unintentionally hysterical melodrama The Unknown, in which an Eastern European prostitute on the run from her brutal ex-pimp reinvents herself as a cleaning woman in the home of the Italian family she believes has adopted her love child. Check back soon for the Lifetime network remake. Of the remaining seven titles, two (Israel's Beaufort and Kazakhstan's Mongol) come bearing good-to-excellent festival buzz, while two others hail from previous Oscar winners: Canadian director Denys Arcand's Days of Darkness (which closed last year's Cannes Film Festival to scathing reviews) and Nikita Mikhalkov's 12, a Russian remake of Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men.

The final voting for the Foreign Language Oscar (Phase III, if you will) is open to any Academy members who can prove they have attended screenings of all five nominated films — a process that has itself resulted in more than a few upset victories over the years, including the insipid Italian travelogue Mediterraneo over Zhang Yimou's Raise the Red Lantern in 1991, and the frothy Spanish comedy Belle Epoque over Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine in 1993. But hey, there's no accounting for taste, right? And at least if a film makes it into the final nominee pool and then loses, it can be said to have been fairly judged by the Academy en masse. But how many Academy members ultimately put the kibosh on 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days? One subset of one committee comprised of — oh, I don't know — the sound guy from Airport '77, the costume designer from Oliver!, and Ernest Borgnine?. If this is the Academy's idea of reform, may I be the first to propose abolition?

Uhu. Rest van de nominaties is vooral meer van hetzelfde. update jij de lijst Gillingham?

Foreign Language is net als de nominaties nogal nietszeggend, met Die Fälscher als enige bekende. Persepolis gelukkig voor animatie.No End in Sight bij documentaires, echt een geweldige film. "Falling Slowly"; uit Once gelukkig nog bij de liedjes. De screenplay nominaties zijn zoals altijd kwalitatief het beste.

Die Fälscher vind ik absoluut geen film om een oscar te winnen. Zeker niet slecht, maar een niveau lager dan de genomineerden van vorig jaar naar mijn mening. Leuk voor Once, wel jammer dat ze tegen 3 Enchanted nummers staan, dat gaan ze niet halen.

Verder vind ik Linney een leuke verrassing, anderen zijn iets minder leuk. Reitman vind ik geheel onterecht, het succes van die film is te danken aan Cody en Page, de regie is niet meer dan competent. Ratatouille voor screenplay is een geslaagde grap. De 2 acteurs-categorieën vind ik beduidend sterker dan de actrices-categorieën. Ik denk dat ik de zwakste van 10 heren waarschijnlijk even goed of beter vond dan de beste bij de dames.

Ook denk ik dat er ergens twee "groten" stemmen van elkaar zullen afnemen zodat een derde wint (Atonement die toch beste film wint, Schnabel die plots regie wint, Depp als acteur, iig .iets heel vreemds).
