I have seen three out of ten. INCEPTION, TRUE GRIT, and THE KING'S SPEECH. My vote for the best pic would go to THE KING'S SPEECH.

I don't think I would be interested in watching 127 HOURS and WINTER'S BONE...

I am interested in watching THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and TOY STORY 3 on DVD...

I have to say that I liked TRUE GRIT more than NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MAN...

127 hours is incredible. James Franco does a great job. I was not particularly interested either, but some friends wanted to go and so I went and I was SOOOOOO glad that I did. The Social Network is really good....I wasn’t interested in seeing it either but glad that I went to the theater. The Kids are alright I saw on DVD....it was good but of course a liberal movie. I want to see the King’s Speech when I have the opportunity too. The Fighter is not interesting to me but probably will see it at some point. True Grit, Inception Winter’s Bone, Toy Story 3, I have no desire to see.

I thought The Kings Speech was predictable, boring, and lame.

On the other hand The Social Network was a brilliant movie and deserves the Oscar. The creepy founder of Facebook was a mixed OCD/Autistic genius with the ethics of a snake.

True Grit was also outstanding, far better than the Kings Speech.

My predictions: Best Picture: The King's Speech
Best Actor: Colin Firth Best Actress: Natalie Portman Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale These four are one-hundred-percent mortal locks..... As for the rest, they are toss-ups.....

Have seen TRUE GRIT, THE FIGHTER, INCEPTION, WINTER’S BONE, and BLACK SWAN. Of those I would vote for TRUE GRIT as Best Picture with THE FIGHTER a close second.

WINTER’S BONE was an essentially depressing story, but did have two great performances.

I thought True Grit was good...very.

Bridges may have done it more justice than Duke....and I grew up loving Duke as a boy when he made movies several times a year.

A little bitty movie I really liked filmed in Ozarks Missouri was the Winter Bones.

gritty gritty but man that little girl has heart...the Jew from Deadwood (the series) sorta steals the movie too.

I usually eschew the artsy-fartsy films, but this time I have to say everything I have heard about “The King’s Speech” from my friends, the radio hosts I respect and even the critics (who I generally ignore) says this is a must-see movie.

Fortunately, I am trying to restart “take the wife for a date” night once a week, so this will be the next week’s “movie” part (the last one was TRON II 3D — fun but tedious).

it just dawned on me after I posted that Winter Bone is nominated

wow...what a small budget flick with local talent

amazing...do not sell it short

but I know some folks only like Big Movies

and many kids only like blockbusters...not you...i have no idea

I also have for years thought for the means they have...many foreign films beat ours

it is very very difficult for me to sit through a flick today and not be irritated by white guilt, social engineering, lib comments, Christian bashing or gratuitous homosexuality...demeaning southerners or rural folks

you can almost count on it

neither Winter Bones or True Grit had any of that...have not seen Kings Speech

Inception seemed odd..the concept

Social Network...maybe when it comes on Dish.....don't know about TKAA

liked True Grit as well as anything since Departed.

TOY STORY 3 is the best threequel of all time. Makes me want to see all three over again.

The King's Speech deserves to win for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. It's a rare movie in this day and age...

I’m proud to say I haven’t seen any of them. And have no idea who half the nominees are.

As Bill Murray put it, “Best Supporting Actor and Actress, who really cares?”

Watched THE SOCIAL NETWORK last night. It was good but I'd still take TRUE GRIT or THE FIGHTER over it.
