As much as I would love to see INCEPTION win, I can't see THE SOCIAL NETWORK losing at this time. However, we can use THE SOCIAL NETWORK to draw a parallel. David Fincher has been making wonderful and visually unique films for years. He has many cult classics to his name, including SE7EN and FIGHT CLUB. Two years ago he had his breakout Oscar recognition with THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. Curiously, I didn't particularly care for that film. Either way, I see the same happening with Nolan. This year he will get his deserved Oscar recognition with INCEPTION, and in the next few years he will get his Oscar, maybe with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791874407034792732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780287317340090445.post-25873343937968253962010-12-17T05:37:40.010-08:002010-12-17T05:37:40.010-08:00Great post sparky.

If this year Inception does not win for Best Picture, I truly don't know what Nolan has to do more to earn it....its a due for pretty long time...& he deserves it.

Yeah, every once in a while you get a Sophia Loren or Roberto Benigni, but for the most part Oscar likes movies that speak English. It is unfortunate because many great filmmakers do not make English speaking films.Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791874407034792732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780287317340090445.post-18488705633371104002010-12-13T09:59:30.403-08:002010-12-13T09:59:30.403-08:00Brilliantly written as always Sparky!
When it com...Brilliantly written as always Sparky!<br /><br />When it comes to the Oscars, I'm always tempted to dismiss then as meaningless due to their poor judgement and that is what many people do, but the truth is they are very important if a film wins best picture is will get an enormous boost to it's sales... <br />So I think they shouldn't be dismissed but really should start giving awards to those that deserve it.<br />I also think International films should get more recognition instead of having only one category.Jack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.com
