And the British have done it again!

^ It was effective, but not as memorable as Inception. In fact it's that one mellow piano piece that consists of..basically one melody that I can remember. Then again Inception's score played a lot with different sound tricks and effects, which isn't surprising considering Zimmer's reputation. It's also evident that the sound editing and mixing team contributed greatly in that regard, since Inception won in those two categories.

I agree there.

While I did find the score for The Social Network to be very good, I was hoping for either The King's Speech or How To Train Your Dragon to win. I thought they were both better.
All of the Best Score nominees were suited contenders though.
 
When the Director of Twilight/Eclipse was asked what sort of a turn out it can except from the awards... he laughed an said that the score was pretty good. :wacky:

When you think about it, a lot of the actors who play superheroes are British. They're trying to take over America

They need to make a Captain Britain movie next! :rage:

As for King's Speech, it is a very good film, in my opinion. Not everyone's cup of tea (what is?), but I've seen it twice and have enjoyed it both times. It's inspiring, serious where relevant but also quite comical at relevant parts too. I just found it was put together really well and acted well.

I've not been up to date with the results of these awards, so I don't know if Geoffrey Rush got Best Supporting Actor, but he deserved it for his role I felt.

I agree. Even though I have a great deal of problems with this movie, its merits easily trumps its flaws. It's creative, imaginative, daring, innovative, entertaining, meaningful and new. The effects complemented the movie's tone and logic seamlessly and the cast was spot on. I say this despite my irrational and subjective dislike of Michael Cera.

I could understand why this movie bombed at the box office, since it's targeted towards a niche audience, but I am very against the fact that this film didn't get the recognition it deserves.
 
Probably cause Scott Pilgrim is a cult film, like Kick Ass. As long as those who would appreciate notice it, that's all that matters.
 
To the individual, not the film and filmmakers. Greater demands means more supply. So we won't have movies like Scott Pilgrim since it didn't sell. Instead we'll have more Superhero flicks with recognizable characters, for example. Sales matter.

i think it's the only film where i can stand michael cera's annoying awkward loser character that he will inevitably play until he's 40.

I liked how in that movie his character was, while still typical Cera, a bit more defiant and ballsy. He had this funny sense of disconectivity and cockiness that Cera doesn't usually bring out.

I never finished watching that movie though, I got to the point where he killed the vegan boy and then fell asleep. Not that it was a bad movie, just seemed to drag on a bit and I was sure I knew how it was going to end. My brother has the blu-ray of it though, maybe I'll finish it sometime.

I'm pretty surprised to hear it didn't do well at the box office though. I was sure it'd be a hit. That's a bit weird.

It opened alongside The Expendables, and guess where all the money went to? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that The Expendables is entirely at fault for Scott Pilgrim's under-performance at the box office, it just paints a picture of what the majority of movie goers want. Rehashed garbage with tons of familiar faces.
