[QUOTE=Tyler Durden;3941725]Hurt Locker was a big snooze fest. How that beat out Inglorious Bastards is beyond me.

I have not seen the King's Speech yet, but I had to chose right now, I would pick the Social Network for best picture in 2010. True Grit not far behind. Inception was intersting, but didn't really do it for me.[/QUOTE]

I've seen all the best picture nominees except for Toy Story.

Here is how I would rank them imo.

1. The King's Speech - excellent period piece
2. Inception -visually stunning
3. Winter's Bone - gripping Meth tale about a girl looking for her dad before their home is foreclosed
4. Black Swan (mostly for the Natalie-Mila scenes)
5. 127 Hours - sum is bigger than its parts
6. The Social Network - pretty good
7. True Grit - good movie, but Coen brothers add credibility
8. The Fighter - entertaining in a light way
9. The Kids Are Alright - good, but just didn't really get into it

You should see Toy Story. Theres one scene near the end thats actually pretty incredible for an animated movie. If I had a vote, I would probably give it to that or Social Network.

I've heard that it's great. For some reason, I just can't watch a cartoon lately.

Btw, I think that you're right about your best actor picks. Almost locks imo.

pretty much a boring year. Benning could beat Portman though.
