You seem "surprised" by some things that were not surprises. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 08/03/2010 02:51:59 PM

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.


How is it a surprise? She was the heavily favored one to win given all her other awards for the role this awards season. It would have been a surprise if she had not won.

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


And this leads me to believe you have not been following any news of late. Going into the Oscars, 'The Hurt Locker' was given at least a 50-50 chance of winning. It would not have been a surprise if Avatar or The Hurt Locker had won. Also, I don't like your derisive comment that it's too bad its a football film. Say what? It's not about football. It's about the humans involved. Just like The Hurt Locker was not truly about the Iraq War. It was about war in general. About humanity.

Thank goodness Avatar lost.

For an entertainment admin, you sure are narrow-minded about some quality films out there. The Shrike - 08/03/2010 03:40:34 PM 539 Views
I can't like nor care about everything. Neither do you, IIRC. ironclad - 08/03/2010 03:53:56 PM 439 Views
