2010's Oscar Nominees

Of the decade's BP winners, The Green Book is the one that feels most 80s to me; was it a hit? My impression is that it was. The King's Speech wouldn't have been out of place in that decade, though as a BP winner it might be more at home in the 60s.

voted kids are all right, prob winters bone second, then the fighter cuz of bales performance being excellent and otherwise being competent

127 hrs is the only one ive never seen

kids are all right is the only one i haven't seen. very much leaning towards toy story 3.

Think I've seen half. Didn't like True Grit. Inception was okay for what it was. Liked The Kids Are All Right. I'm honestly not sure if I've seen Winter's Bone. I have the DVD, I always intended to watch it--and if I did, I think I liked it--but reading the description off Wikipedia, I'm not sure. My vote goes to The Social Network easily.

Voting
Black Swan

Good or Better
The Kids Are All Right
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter's Bone

Meh
The Social Network
127 Hours

Ugh
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech

Black Swan was weird and I need to see it again. I went arbitrarily for The Kids Are All Right, which I saw with friends at the time and really loved, and which I think still holds up

I gave it to Social Network. (Sorry, Inception.)

also somewhat liked The Social Network and Winter’s Bone. The rest of these I don’t care about at all. True Grit is tepid, and Inception is one of my least favorite films ever

my favorites from 2010 are Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Mysteries of Lisbon, Meek’s Cutoff, Poetry, and Nostalgia for the Light

this was a decent year for BP nominees!

great: social network, black swan, winter's bone

good: true grit, the kids are all right

passable: 127 hours, inception, toy story 3

no thanks: king's speech

haven't seen the fighter

my favorites from 2010 are Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Mysteries of Lisbon, Meek’s Cutoff, Poetry, and Nostalgia for the Light

My favorite 2010 movie, Certified Copy, wasn't released in the U.S. 'til 2011.

Otherwise, my favorite 2010 U.S. release was Dogtooth, a 2009 movie.

A good enough Oscar slate, but 2010 was kind of a pause of a movie year.

This is a good Oscars list! I like "True Grit", "Black Swan" and "Inception" a lot. Even "The Kings Speech" is decent Sunday evening fare. I am going to go with "The Social Network" though.
