delboy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 As usual I have not seen many of the films as I rent films via the post! Fucks sake my mum went to see The King's Speech today! In fact the only film in the list I've seen is Toy Story 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Like others I haven't seen that much, I already had a few downloaded ready to watch though.I don't really care that much anyway. Sometimes there is a film I really like that I hope doesn't go overlooked or a big hit I want to see brought down a peg or two. Not this year. The ones I've seen are decent.

Bigsby Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I would go with Phil's predictions, except maybe Aronofsky for Director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 If Portman doesn't take best actress... there will be no significant consequences on my part... or at all really... but she deserves it!xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the only film in the list I've seen is Toy Story 3!Same as me. I haven't seen any of those films. All it means is that when I do get round to seeing them I'll have higher expectations than I would have otherwise. Jeff Bridges should win again, he's great in everything.
