    Default is slumdog a lock for best picture?

    saw the movie. totally sucked...but i heard other people think it is a good movie.

    i think milk can pull an upset because hollywood like gay movies, but never watched it so i donno.

    how come gran torino is not nominated.

    i've heard milk could pull an upset in best actor, but i'm pretty sure everyone's pegged slumdog as best pic lock.

    Isn't this the movie where the guy plays "who wants to be a millionaire", and he calls his girlfriend? I saw a clip of it. What a piece of shit? It's like they try to over-dramatize a stupid game show.

    Havent seen it but hope they win. Saw a report on the kids in the movie and they really live in slums. One family has lived under a plastic tarp for 9 years! They were paid just $3000 for their roles. Puts the Hollywood phonies to shame!

    Yes it's a lock. And I guess I'm the only person on SBR who liked it. Whatever.

    Pico I thought about doing one, but lost my excitement once I swept on the Golden Globes. I think all the same players will win, but the odds have moved so drastically, that it is no benefit for me to play them. But here was what I wrote before the Golden Globes if you care.

    I saw both Slumbog Millionaire and Benjamin Button and there is simply no comparison between the 2.

    Benjamin Button was light years the better movie with far better acting and a far better story line.

    I also saw No Country for Old Men which was mediocre at best and that movie won Best Picture last year so its easy to see why Slumdog is such a lock.

    Those voters don't have a clue.

    Henson for Supporting Actress is the "steam play" of the Oscars.

    From what I've heard/read, Slumdog is indeed a lock. However, the critics and hollywood people also love "The Reader". They also like Kate Winslet. Almost certain that Winslet gets best actress and The Reader does not get best picture. But I put $10 on The Reader at +3500 just for the hell of it.. I don't feel like laying so much for, in my opinion, a good but not great movie in Slumdog.

    Slumdog is a very good movie.

    Benjamin Button is phenomenal and should win.

    Milk: good movie but sucker's bet.

    Benjamin Button was just OK to me dawg.

    Slumdog wasn't life changing or anything, but I enjoyed it.

    The Wrestler was awesome. Great film.

    Going to see The Reader today.

    I like Slumdog. I rate it a 7.5 out of 10. It is currently sitting at -759 for Best Picture and I don't think it's that good. I wouldn't even think about betting that line so I don't feel it's a lock.

    I thought Slumdog was a bit overrated, but still a decent movie. I still haven't had time to see The Wrestler, and I really want to see it. As long as Sean Penn and his movie don't win anything, I'll be happy.

    Wrestler was better than any of the nominated films IMO. And no, I'm not a fan of wrestling, so that's not it.

    They must have gotten tired of Eastwood. "Mystic River, then "A Million Dollar Baby" were up there most recently of his, I do remember Mystic River winning best picture, unsure what the other won but it was nominated as I recall.

    just saw slumdog-whatever.
    piece of crap. Nice cinematography and a pretty girl.
    If they would have shot her walking around India it would of been much better to watch. Instead, they added a nonsensical plot, uninteresting far-fetched themes and mediocre acting.

    Slumdog Millionaire was the best movie. I hate it when boring old people like boring old movies with old ass actors. Dude, we're in 2008, the boring crap is over. This was different, this was passionate, this was the best.
