Oscar Screeners Sent Out So Far…

• Star trek isn’t up?I mean, I know it sounds crazy, but that movie was as critically acclaimed as anything else this year.

  95$ on rottentomatos is something.

• Kathryn Bigelow deserves a Harvey type push for Best Director & the film should really win for Best Picture. It’s depressing that Summit seems too busy counting their twilight money to support a remarkable piece of filmmaking.

• Nikke – CORRECTION – Make sure to point out that this list is a combo of DVD’s sent to the different groups. For example, executive members vote only on best picture in the first round, so they do not receive copies of “The Blind Side” (since WB is pushing Bullock, not the picture itself). Two problems it creates: 1) your readers don’t know what category the films are being endorsed by the studios for and 2) much more importantly in the age of piracy concerns, you will have academy members worrying that they’re on the hook for DVD’s they haven’t received and which they worry might have been intercepted.

• Yes, we WGAers now have three screeners, but it has nothing to do with the strike, and everything to do with the economy. Regardless, it’s a very unwise decision to not send screeners to the writers. Those are the films that get the big awards, as stated earlier.

  Sandra Bullock was wonderful in THE BLIND SIDE. That film should be up there as well – a beautiful film and beautifully acted by Bullock.

• First, Funny People? really? The movie should not even be considered for a nomination.. It was really boring and slow, don’t get me wrong I love Sandler, Rogen and Apatow but that movie was not even close enough to get a nom and second, Moon should get nominated. Rockwell’s performance was outstanding as well was the movie, and I am really shocked that it is not getting any credit…

• The SAG nomcomm screener list varies somewhat from what’s gone to the Academy thus far.

  How about a follow-up on the specific targeting of the actors, writers, and directors?

• WGA list so far stops at 3.

  Funny People
  500 Days Of Summer
  A Serious Man

  The irony is there are way more that would get a vote from me if the DVD ever showed up. Julie and Julia, Up, District 9, but y’know… I need my goody bag.

• The Hurt Locker is an amazing film. I was absolutely blown away when I saw it in the theater. It’s technically brilliant and you immediately feel like you’re in the middle of the action. I hope Summit doesn’t screw up the academy campaign the way they botched the release. I’ll be shocked if the film isn’t nominated for Best Picture and Kathryn Bigelow for Best Director.

• I’m WGA and have only received 500 Days of Summer. What gives?

• Why don’t you pay the $8, support the industry and go see a movie instead of bitching about what screeners you haven’t received yet.

  • Because I’ve already paid too much in blood, sweat, tears and lost innocence.

• I’m in the WGA and got “Public Enemies” and “It’s Complicated” yesterday

• Did anyone else get an “It’s Complicated” screener with no audio? Wondering if this is a big OOPS or just a little one…
