Travel Tuesday – Academy Awards Edition

Nominations for the Academy Awards are out. Best Picture is the one that I follow and here are the films up for it:

“Avatar”
“The Hurt Locker”
“The Blind Side”
“District 9″
“An Education”
“Inglourious Basterds”
“Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ By Sapphire”
“A Serious Man”
“Up”
“Up in the Air.”

Which ones have you seen and do you agree that they should be up for Best Picture?

The only one I’ve seen is District 9 while I was traveling (whew, got that word in there somehow) to Singapore. It was a bit odd and creepy and started of a bit slow, but grew as it continued. I’m not sure it should be up for Best Picture, though.

What do you think?

I’ve seen The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds, Up and Up in the Air.
All really good movies, but all very different, so I’d say a tough decision, depending mostly on personal preferences…
The one that kept me most was definitely The Hurt Locker.

I only saw Up! I liked it. Not sure if it is Best Picture material, but it has great moments.

cn, I’m not sure I’d like UP. Isn’t it for kids?

dom, thanks for the recommendations. I’ll definitely see The Hurt Locker and Up in the Air soon.
