[quote name='prmononoke']What? District 9 and Up in the Air both deserve their nominations. An Education had a pretty bad ending, but the rest of the film was good. If there were only five nominees, I wouldn't say it deserves a nomination. With the ten, it's fine, but otherwise, it's not really up there.
Yes, Precious looks awful.
Also, I love 3D, and I am fully embracing it.[/QUOTE]
I didn't see Up in the Air, so I can't say anything about it. I honestly don't see how District 9 gets all the love it does. It's a decent movie, sure, but I didn't think it was particularly impressive in any way.
I think the biggest problem this year is that there is no clearly great movie. I saw a lot of movies that I liked a lot that were really good, but I don't think anything really blew me away.
