Give just one...just one measly little Oscar....to Marty.


I like Martin. But the amount of Oscars that one person has won should have absolutely no bearing on nominating them again if the work that they did that year warrants it.

It's like telling a Baseball player who won the triple crown last year that he cannot win it again this year even if he leads the league in all the required categories.



Don Cardi


I agree but I wanna see Marty win so badly that I don't care. Screw Clint and everyone else. LET'S GO MARTY!

That's your opinion, and you are certainly entitled to it. But it doesn't mean that you're right.

Don Cardi cool

He was screwed twice before for Raging Bull and Goodfellas. So why can't he screw someone this time around?

Oh please...its the OSCARS. You seriously think its a legitimate awards program? Scorsese doesn't need it to redeem him as America's best living filmmaker.

But, it would be nice for him to win one for once. You have a heart, right?

You are right the Oscars are about as close to a real award show as this thread is to a real reviewer

If you truly cared about movies you'd want the best person to win at all times, it didn't happen for him for those 2 movies but that doesn't mean someone else should get screwed, thats what they have lifetime achievement awards for.

And it is my opinion Don Andrew, thank you for pointing that out, hence why I put "I found"

Well, I'm glad DaMoraleCommissioner is here to compete in a dick-size contest with me.

Besides, there is a mortal flaw in your argument. If not Marty for Best Director, who should deserve to win it more than him?

Surely you haven't seen LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA (worth watching) and I don't see you as the sort of guy to champion BABEL or even LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.

To be honest, Paul Greengrass is the most deserving of the nominees, but since his movie didn't get a Best Picture nomination, he never could win.

So quit your morale dance. Besides, this is a fun little thread for the movie buff fans at BB.Net.

Trust me Ronnie, you'd lose that contest

Oh I'm terribly sorry, since I wasn't inducted into your little "Movie Buff Club" I shouldn't be here....please allow me to exit immediately lol

For your information I actually loved Babel but since you say I wouldn't, I change my mind

Ronnie, one day, someone will come along and kill that bug that is so firmly inserted in your butt. Until then, why do you constantly feel the need to antagonize anyone you disagree with? I've seen you do it with Irish and this is not the first time with DMC. Get over yourself and your delusions of cinematic grandeur.

In your eyes, I'm the asshole. In your eyes, Don Andrew is my associate in crime.

In my eyes, DMC is being a jackass. In my eyes, you're his sidekick.

I wasn't being an asshole, I was simply stating my opinion, I didn't care for The Departed and didn't feel it was Oscar worthy, do I have to pass some kind of test in order to voice my opinion. Or should I be like everyone else here and just follow the Hollywood types. I found Babel to be a great movie, and far better than The Departed, but if that goes against this thread maybe I should start my own

I nominate DC to be the Commissioner
