Discussion: movies

I only saw three of the nominated movies (King's Speech, Social Network, and Toy Story 3); liked all three but loved King's Speech. I'm glad that you and the voters who saw all 10 agreed with me. :-) Colin Firth was fantastic.
I'd like to see the other nominated films, but that's probably not going to happen. I can say, however, that I see every animated (and most other kid-oriented) movie that comes out. While I liked Toy Story, I'm not sure it was my favorite of that genre. I'd have to think about that.

I'm impressed that you watched all of the feature film nominations in such a compressed time period. I watched the animated shorts one night and then the live action shorts the next (plus some extras) and that only brought each evening to about the length of one feature film. Which seemed like enough for one day! I have some catching up to do on the full length movies, though I did see and enjoy The King's Speech.

I think Toy Story 3 might have been the best of the TS movies, and that's saying a lot as they are all good. However, I don't think any movie with a 3 in the title belongs at the awards. Seemed to me that kid movies (a genre I'm becoming increasingly familiar with) were a little thin this year. Last year had a bunch of good ones.
