[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]After [i]The Taste of Things[/i] received no nominations, I can’t get too excited about the Oscars. 

Okay, I understand it not getting a 
“Best Original Score” nomination, 
but that’s it.[/font][/quote]

[quote=Sedai]By the end, I wanted to see the movie about Lorraine.  :)[/quote]

Totally agree with this, too. It bothers me in films when the characters are bad at arguing/don't notice or call out obvious deflections, at least in scenarios where they're ostensibly trying to do so and are otherwise presented as smart and perceptive.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Yeah, I love Wright, and the subject matter had me very optimistic that it could be that rare mix of very funny, quite moving, and genuinely insightful. It came close at times. It has a lot of good things to say, regardless.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai][quote=Yoda]Yeah, it's a very good movie. I'm a little disappointed but only because I had absurdly high hopes for it, but very good.[/quote]

I think this expectation comes with the territory with best pic noms, even if we should most certainly know better these days. I like Wright in pretty much anything he is in, so there is that, also.

8. Anatomy of a Fall
9. Barbie[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=Allaby]I really enjoyed it.  Out of the best picture nominees, I would rank it 2nd best and 5th overall for the year.[/quote]

I also thought it was pretty good.[/quote]
