Of all the movies in the latest Oscar nominations, I’ve seen exactly four of them:
- Charlie Wilson’s War(Supporting Actor, Phillip Seymour Hoffman)
- Ratatouille(Original screenplay, Animated feature, Original score, Sound editing, Sound mixing)
- The Bourne Ultimatum(Film editing)
- Transformers (Sound editing, Sound mixing, Visual effects)
Of the four, the only one I didn’t find disappointing on some level was “Transformers,” and that was just because I had no expectations whatsoever.
Seriously, though, I’m pulling for “Bourne” for film editing–based on what little I know of the subject, that part of the film kicked ass (think high-speed fight scenes). On the other hand, I didn’t like how the techno remix of Moby’s “Extreme Ways” broke continuity with the first two films. Minor criticism, I guess.
