If you wanna take part in a very interesting community list/debate, pleeeeease take part. I know there are more regular PTPers than this... if you've got the time, roll on through and pick em out.


****** ORIGINAL POST *******

Here's the deal. You think the Academy is bound to get it wrong. They always do. Well, now it's our turn.

I want you to post up your 5 favorites in eight major categories-- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay.

I would also like you to rank these from best to worst-- 5 points for your favorite, 1 point for your 5th favorite. If you don't have 5 you enjoyed in a category, rank the ones you did find praiseworthy (example: Best Actress isn't the deepest field, so if you have only three performances you dug, give out 5, 4, and 3 points to those three).

I realize many of us live in cities that get limited release films much later, so you have up until a month from today (that's February 20th) to post your official selections. I will then add up the votes, The official PTP Oscar winners will be announced the day before the actual Oscars, so that we can brag the next day about how much better our list is.

Finally, if someone has a great idea about what the PTP Oscars should be named, throw that up too.

Let's see them lists, people. Choose em, rank em, throw em up.

We'll talk about that after the noms are announced.

Or is that too many abbreviations / acronyms?

Anyway, cool idea.

And here are some Oscar-buzzed films that come out before the deadline of 02/20:

The Assassination of Jesse James: 02/05
Gone Baby Gone: 02/12
Into the Wild: 02/12
American Gangster: 02/19
Michael Clayton: 02/19

In addition, 3:10 To Yuma, Away From Her, Eastern Promises, Knocked Up, La Vie en Rose, A Mighty Heart, Ratatouille, and Zodiac are already available.

I'd like to make a couple of changes here. Finally saw La Vie En Rose and can't deny Marion Cotillard.

Laura Linney (The Savages) - 3
Carice Van Houten (Black Book) - 2

Regarding movies like Chop Shop, The Pool, Syndromes And A Century, In Between Days, etc., how do you first hear about and then see most of these? I ask because previously, and naively, I thought I had a good sense about the "notable" films of the year. Now, reading your respective nomination lists, I see cleary I did not (which is also a reason this post is proving helpful). Anyway, do you all attend festivals or what's the deal?

thanks again

For Chop Shop and Syndromes, I saw their previous work(s). Plus, along w/ The Pool and In Between Days, I see them in entries over at the indispensable:

Going off your previous top 20 list that I asked you about, I'd say you were on top of things on the more known American scene. You caught some stuff I haven't.


>Anyway, do you all attend festivals
>or what's the deal?

I do, but only local ones.

Even if one doesn't go to festivals, one'd be more than caught up w/ just the Greencine blog alone.

They cover the big, small, and everything-in-between festivals. The editors grab up either professional or non-pro reviews, articles, festival journal entries/dispatches, and notable blog entries.

Here's some coverage on some of the Sundance films you have an eye on:

http://daily.greencine.com/archives/005368.html#more
http://daily.greencine.com/archives/005363.html#more
http://daily.greencine.com/archives/005373.html#more

Then at the end of festivals, they'll make a movie index entry. Berlinale, SXSW, SF Asian American Film Festival, Toronto, Rotterdam, Pusan, and smaller and smaller fests. Lots of the flicks pop up more than once.

The blog also covers movies that may just be in a festival or 2, but have little runs here and there.

The entries on various film programs like the recent contempo Latin American film at Lincoln Center help just as much.

Links to Hoberman, Rosenbaum, King Friday...
King Friday got linked twice:
http://daily.greencine.com/archives/004888.html
http://daily.greencine.com/archives/004055.html

The blog entries are more than sufficient, but the links column on that blog is icing on the cake. Many of the linked sites have sections that do similar stuff like festival reports and reviews.

Magazines (some have their own websites) are still good for keeping up w/ what you should look out for:

Cinemascope http://www.cinema-scope.com/cs33/contents.htm
Film Comment http://www.filmlinc.com/fcm/jf08/terraincognita.htm
Filmmaker Magazine http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/

Other clearinghouse blogs like Greencine and Indiewire:

No prob.

That's just an intro. Lots of great people doing great stuff for movie lovers. Let me know if you or anyone want more reading/sites that'll suck your time and work productivity even more.

Yeah, this looks familiar, so you must have linked it before. Call it stubborness (loyalty to Netflix and to the Hollywood-Elsewhere blog), but I guess I didn't really give it enough of a looking over previously. I'm not too keen on Arthur Penn tributes, but there's a lot there going on that I have no clue about, so it should help fill in those gaps.

*bookmarked*

>http://indiewire.com/

Are they good mostly for Sundance-related information? I get the indie in the web title, but that might be a little too speciality for my interests. Green Cine's a go though.

>Going off your previous top 20 list that I asked you about,
>I'd say you were on top of things on the more known American

I've expanded, some. ha . . . I got a list of 44 titles, with a bit more diversity, including Once and This Is England in the top ten (thank you and Yogaflame very, very much for that recommendation).

Do you mind if I ask what local is?

Thanks. I had periodically been doing google blog / news searches for some titles.

You're too kind.

As the nerd in my delights at a chance to continue prepping my 2007 list, those last three links in particular will be helpful.

After a semester off, I just started school back again this week, so who knows where all my energy and time will be soon, but Green Cine seems like extactly what I need for now. Thanks again.

I hear about films that usually don't garner a lot of attention through the usual sources - magazines, websites, etc.

Also, I used to work in International Distribution and made a load of great contacts who'll often funnel me tips whenever something interesting is showing in my area.

I end up seeing a lot of below-the-radar stuff simply because I have the good fortune of living in a city like Toronto. I'll routinely check out Cinematheque Ontario, rep houses, industry events, and any one of the millions of festivals that annually blow through town.

Consulates have always proven to show the latest and greatest from their respective nations. I don't know how it works in other cities, but our Italian Consulate opens their doors to monthly screenings. Goethe Institute, Taras Schevchenko Foundation and JapanCAN are also excellent venues for foreign films.

Certain ethnic pockets of Toronto will have MULTIPLEXES devoted entirely to showing films from that neighborhood's homeland. For instance, Woodside Cinema shows first-run Bollywood and Tamil fare and packs the house every weekend.

The Pool was very difficult to get my hands on. Luckily, someone I knew was able to shoot me a screener.

In Between Days I saw take shape from script to screen, as I'm friends with the producers.

I would parrot all of what Sponge mentioned in his post too.

I think you've mentioned before your pride towards Toronto as one of the most culturally plugged-in cities in North America, and I guess you weren't lying. The strong emphasis on and relevance of all the "ethnic pockets" is probably something you see in only a handful or so remaining big cities.

>The Pool was very difficult to get my hands on. Luckily,
>someone I knew was able to shoot me a screener.

I can't even find any info on The Pool outside an 07 Sundance debut. Is it an offical 2007 release? . . . Same with Chop Shop. Did it actually get a non-festival 07 release? IMDB lists a February 27 (this month) date.

categories?

Or something else?

Because I'm thinking it's gonna make its way in for me (too).

Yup. I feel terrible that it's more than likely not going to make my Best Pic list, but I'm pretty sure Ferguson is in for my Best Director list.

Kaye's Lake of Fire is coming out on DVD on 3/11. I'm thinking it has the potential to take the place of No End in Sight should a documentary make my Best Pic list.

Edit: Another one that can give NEIS a run is Adam Curtis' The Trap (can be found on Google Video).

For others' consideration in terms of documentaries: Manufactured Landscapes, The Bridge, and Into Great Silence.

Here are my picks. The ones with stars next to them are dark horse picks...the nominations are in several hours, and these performances and films could slip in and take a spot given their buzz or star power , i.e. Margot At The Wedding was savaged by critics, but Kidman gave a ridicilously on point, severely comic turn as Margot. And, Noam Baumbach wrote and directed a, for the most part, a very good film (I loved the movie, even if it disturbed me in some places)

See, this was incredibly difficult for me - not including Jesse James in my top five. The Pool and Chop Shop stayed with me all year; I couldn't shake it.

Still Life, I'm embarrassed to say, I haven't seen yet.

>**Best Actor**

I'm in the minority that thinks Mortensen's portrayal, while fantastic, was made all the less special by just how 2-D that character (and the film) was conceived.

Kudos for the Turgoose mention. It's fucking insane how good he is in this.

>Julie Christie (Away From Her) - 5
>Isabelle Huppert (Private Property) - 4
>Carice van Houten (Black Book) - 3

Julie Christie is nothing compared to the brilliance of Pinsent in Polley's otherwise MOW-style adaptation of a perfectly-rendered short story.

Van Houten is stunning in Black Book. I'm shocked more hasn't been made of her work.

How much am I hating myself for completely forgetting In Between Days? Easily one of my favorite films of the past few years and here I don't even remember to include it in my year-end? Shameful. Oh, and Jiseon is perfect in this.

>**Best Supporting Actor **

My list easily could've included Dano, O'Connor, Affleck and Ruffalo. One of the strongest years for BSA in recent memory.

Was Waitress that good? It looks terrible!

Love Judy Greer, but haven't seen The TV Set. Usually hate pics about the industry, but might give it a chance.

>See, this was incredibly difficult for me

Tell me about it. It pains me to have to leave off Syndromes and a Century, Hana, Old Joy, In Between Days, Knocked Up, The Golden Door. Pick any 5 and that's a solid one in my eyes for any year, but this one. The Bourne Ultimatum is just getting unfairly buried.

>The Pool and Chop Shop stayed with
>me all year; I couldn't shake it.

Hope I get to see these. Read great things about the former. Couldn't sleep after seeing Man Push Cart; if that's in the same neighborhood as Chop Shop, man, I'm in for something.

>Still Life, I'm embarrassed to say, I haven't seen yet.

Heft. Probably the only thing Platform has over it is some humor.

>I'm in the minority that thinks Mortensen's portrayal, while

>character (and the film) was conceived.

Yea, overall, it felt like Part 1 of a 3-part tv movie (w/ high production values). The character shortcomings couldn't dampen my appreciation of Mortenson's accomplishment, though. Never came across as mannered.

>Kudos for the Turgoose mention.

Likewise.

>It's fucking insane how good
>he is in this.

Scary good. One of the most impressive performances by a teen I've seen. Any other year, Stephen Graham would get a nod, too.

>Julie Christie is nothing compared to the brilliance of
>Pinsent

I'm w/ ya. Confession: The first time I saw the flick, my eyes and attention always gravitated toward Pinsent in their scenes together. Didn't think much of Christie's performance at first. Not until a 2nd watch, did she impress me.

But, man, I couldn't knock any of the lead actors off my list and I feel awful.

>in Polley's otherwise MOW-style adaptation of a
>perfectly-rendered short story.

Yea, I think the praise for her direction was unwarranted. Tracking shot circling around the couple? Seriously? I mean unless it mirrored a descriptive passage in the source material...

>Van Houten is stunning in Black Book. I'm shocked more hasn't
>been made of her work.

She owned the hell out of her role. Usually things that good eventually get noticed, but that's not the case so far.

>How much am I hating myself for completely forgetting In

The movie gets ya in your guts. I wasn't surprised to learn that Kim had a Dardenne brothers and Jia movie in mind. And, she has a little bit of a Kore-eda and Tarvkovsky in mind for her next one!

As mine could've had Downey Jr., PSH, and TLJ.

It's shitty that I couldn't give John Carroll Lynch a nod.

>Was Waitress that good? It looks terrible!

Haha. Nah, I was only impressed by Russell and Shelly's acting. The movie, as a whole, is average. Bad in some parts, pretty good in others.

>Love Judy Greer, but haven't seen The TV Set. Usually hate
>pics about the industry, but might give it a chance.

I thought Duchovny was good, too. Greer just cracked me up each time she spoke. As for the movie, it's decent at best, like, not a bad thing to watch when you're down w/ a cold or something and nothing good is on.

I guess the big negatives was most of the stuff cracking on the industry, suits, audience, and marketing wasn't funny. However, the cracks on tv production were pretty good. About 2 or 3 really exceptional scenes in terms of laughs and performance.

It's pretty good. Couldn't really see anything wrong with the swipes at the suits. Weaver is solid too.

4 Months, 3 Weeks And 2 Days

Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Before the Devil Knows Your Dead.
Casey Affleck in Jesse James

Supporting Actor: Michael Shannon in Before the Devil... and Ion Sapdaru in 4 Months... Both of them scared the shit out of me. Can't wait to see more of them (Shannon is great in Bug too).

Hal Holbrook is really, really incredible too.

I know it's late to suggest this, but hear me out.

If the people who already posted their ballots as of today don't end up posting their nominations for Best Cinematography by the deadline, then we can just throw this added category out.

Or, we can just declare the winner w/ those nominations posted from today up to the deadline. (If only 2 or 3 people post nominations, then I guess we can throw it out then, too.)


I realize this opens up people saying, well, since we added a cinematography one, we gotta add editing and sound design. However, I think cinematography is the most glaring omission. We're talking about movies, ya know.

My 2 cents.

Kinda rushed so I probably forgot something, but here it is.

Overlooked and underrated performance for sure.

********************************************************************




"I *always* quote myself. I'm the only reliable source on *most* subjects" - OKP's First Lady of Knowledge, Janey

in the Supporting category b/c that's their Oscar noms? I did in my 1st ballot.

However, I do think they're both leading roles (Robert Ford; Chigurh) so in my final ballot I'm gonna have both of them in the Leading category. Is that a no-no? 'Cause it's gonna mess up a comparison b/w PTP's winners and the Academy's?

...so it will then split the votes somewhat. I'd say roll with the majority in terms of where the actor is placed categorically speaking.

But do what you will.

for whom the voter didn't specify for what movie?

Like some lists just got PSH, Affleck, and TLJ w/o naming the movie. Is it Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Charlie Wilson's War, or The Savages for PSH? AOJJ or Gone Baby Gone for Affleck? In the Valley of Elah or NCFOM for TLJ?

Considering how criterias for lead and supporting differ, it's kind of hard, from my vantage point, to use that as a hint.

for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor anyway.

Not sure if it matters on the actress side. I *think* there were some Linneys and Blanchetts w/o the mention of for what movie. Most likely, it's for The Savages and not Jindabyne or Breach for Linney. Kinda harder for Blanchett.

...I can double check regarding the others.

In the meantime, get your finished list done, sir!
