Film Fanatics - Chat Thread II

Why does Basher from Ocean's Eleven have such a terrible English accent and use of slang? It completely boggles my mind, the whole film seems to be so concerned with looking stylish and cool, and then there's just a knicker-loving plonker strolling through the scenes. Who decided that would be a good idea?

If we took a TSR poll of people's favourite films there would probably be just as many voters as there are for the globes, and they would probably be just as informed. I find myself struggling to care about it just because there's a lot of money involved.

yeah fair enough, btw when you say that, do you mean in terms of there being so many high paid A-list actors? And imo the GGs' just genuinely aren't that interesting to watch these days, considered staying up to watch it but just couldn't be bothered, I possibly would for the Oscars though

Ricky Gervais hosting was something I looked forward to but apart from that not much, predicted there wouldn't be any shock wins or anything

Don't really care much about the Globes to be honest, it's also been an extremely uncomfortable watch for the last few years because of Ricky Gervais!

For me the Oscars are where it's at, though a lot of people disregard them nowadays I still think they are absolute magic. Been staying up all night to watch them for as long as I can remember. And with Billy Crystal presenting and hopefully Meryl Streep winning this year, it should be real vintage. :cool:

I watched the Golden Globes, it was a typical boring awards fare, with some dodgy results. The Descendants won best film, but not director or screenplay. Was weird.

Ricky Gervais made the show, but a lot of him was cut due to many people going over their time. Seth Rogen also had a very good ad libbed line.

Stayed up until five to watch it all :bigsmile:

Academy Awards/Oscars should be good provided we don't get another host who looks stoned and find a decent stream that doesn't get shut down halfway through like last year ( :ninja:

).

Billy Crystal won't be stoned, he'll just be boring.

Highlights were Seth Rogen's erection joke, The Case Of Meryl's Missing Glasses (David Fincher didn't know what the hell was happening), George Clooney letting millions of people know that Michael Fassbender's penis is as big as a golf club, and Leonardo DiCaprio looking like a sad puppy as everyone won except him.

I also found this incredibly adorable; Uggie knows how to work the red carpet:

I could not stop smiling every time Uggie was on the screen in The Artist.

Plus Frasier is like one of my all time favourite shows and I find Eddie to be brilliant in a few episodes, so maybe that's why.
