Re: what do you think about the oscars so far?
Well...I ordered the Swedish trilogy so I can watch it in one sitting..but I have to say from an "accuracy" perspective...Mara seems to come closer to physically matching the character in the book series (which I just finished and loved)...Salander's supposed to look small and frail (it's kind of important in the book)...Noomi doesn't.
...but I'll let you know if I change my mind after seeing her version.

The Oscars were horrible and Viola got robbed, you could see Merryl Streep was almost embarassed to accept the award. I'm glad that Clooney lost and the dog from the Artist should have been Best Supporting Actor

Re: what do you think about the oscars so far?
The Artist was a charming film and very different. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
But the Academy completely ignored what I thought was the best film of last year - We Need to Think about Kevin - in which Tilda Swinton showed once again that she consistently turns in utterly compelling and entirely believable performances.

Re: what do you think about the oscars so far?
I agree, Evon, but what a shame she wasted her talents on a one-sided hagiography of that bloody awful woman.
And as I said below, the omission of Tilda Swinton from the nominations for best actress was a travesty.
Mind you, if Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close was a credible contender for film of the year, the Academy clearly had their collective heads up their collectives asses. What a load of meretricious, sickly sentimental crap.

Whoops!
Don't know about Drive for best pic, but Ryan Gosling should have been in there for his performance in both that movie and in the Ides of March. His performance in Blue Valentine was outstanding too, searing, true and utterly heartbreaking. He is a very fine actor.
And while I'm at it, Michael Fassbender should have been nominated for Shame.
