I just hate when people pander to the Academy instead of just trying to make a good movie. Almost as much as I hate movies based on well-known musicals.

Musical...? O_o What do you know Les Misérables from? O_o

The movie is based on the musical based on the book, Dan. I would be hard pressed to find an American who doesn't immediately think of the play rather than the book when they hear that title. The show is a masterpiece in its own right after all, and definitely more well known around here.

I ponder how Moonrise Kingdom is not on any of those lists.

SAG awards were last night. Last major awards before the Oscars.

Argo won best cast ensemble. I'm pleasantly surprised yet again. If I were a betting woman (doesn't sound the same :^/) I'd say this movie has suddenly become a very likely winner for Best Picture. This is kind of annoying. Not because it's a bad movie. Because Ben Affleck got snubbed of a directing nom.

I'm having a hard time taking any of the Academy Awards this year seriously due to the fact that Cloud Atlas didn't get a Makeup and Hairstyling nomination.

I have literally raged about this fact several times.
