MJ Oscars

So Benjamin Button got the most Oscar nods... thats odd... seeing as how the movie kinda sucks and should be called "Forrest Gump 2". Instead of a mentally disabled person learning about life and it's experiences, we get a old man baby or whatever the hell he is. It has some of the same characters (drunk sea captain, love of life that main character constantly writes, etc.) and that naive narration from the main character...  OVERRATED.... that is how you spell Benjamin Button. .. and I'm a Brad Pitt fan... his portrayal of Jesse James is what should of won him an award.

On the other hand you have a movie that deserves the praise it is getting... and that is "Slumdog Millionaire". Whoever was in charge of marketing for this film should be fired, as the previews and commercials were God Awful... they made it come off like some Romantic Bollywood comedy.... I was expecting big musical song and dance numbers. (There is one stupid one during the credits which makes zero sense.) This is a strong sleek film. God damn is it sleek... the cinematography is amazing and the score is interesting and works well. I like this film a lot, but its not the "Best Picture". The Final Act feels a little too unbelievable and fantasy like... the film has a somewhat dark tone and then and then the final act is very different. So what is the "Best Picture" then....
