i saw transformers and Pirates 3 and i cant believe Golden Compass beat them for best visual effects...

transformers should have won hands down
 
Considering I manage to see about 1-2 movies a year at this point (not counting DVD and PPV after the fact) and have seen only one movie in the entire list, I'm amazed I did as well as I did.

Movies used to be an almost weekly outing for my wife and I, sometimes 2-3 in a weekend, it's been quite a change for us, but kids will do that.
 
My roommates and I did this. I wish I would have entered here. I got 13 correct and would of had 14 but my last second change to cinematography screwed me.

Who would have thought Bourne would have won 3?
 
Ouch, 13th place? Well, I suppose it could have been worse. :eek: At least I'm among good company.

*High fives Jaffa Cake, ShaunPriest, and siurpeeman*

:D
 
WOOHOO LAST PLACE.
Tis' why I shouldn't ever post in these blasted things.
o well:rolleyes:
I tried to show the rankings in the most polite way possible.

Perhaps you just voted for the movies that should have won, instead of those the Academy members voted for. After all, those people are from another planet, right?
