I can't wait to see We Need to Talk About Kevin . Oh yes...I'm a lot of fun.
If I had Captain America's shield, I would...I don't know. First I'd have to look up exactly what its mystic abilities are. I have some perfunctory comic book knowledge by osmosis (my older brother had like four floor to ceiling shelves filled with them), but Captain America was never on my radar. So, I'd probably use the shield as some kind of decorative conversation art piece at dinner parties. Yep, gaying up the Captain America shield over here.
I'm going out on a limb and saying Tilda Swinton is going to win an Oscar for We Need to Talk About Kevin in February. Everything I'm hearing, "Too strange, too dark, too un-Academy" are the same things, frankly, that people were saying about Black Swan after Venice and Telluride last year. Plus, people sometimes forget how much people like Tilda Swinton as a person. She's very charming and that always helps. Tilda Swinton really should have won an Oscar for...well, the Oscar she has is totally justified. I would also add to the roster Oscars for Julia and Female Perversions.

sorry... Viggo Mortensen shouldn't have won for EASTERN PROMISES, Day-Lewis was so Oscar worthy for THERE WILL BE BLOOD. I replace him for LEONARDO DICAPRIO, who will win for J. EDGAR but should've won for THE DEPARTED, but he wasn't even nominated!

Woody Allen will win the Oscar for Original Screenplay in February but he really should've won for Match Point. (Though I'd be please with him winning this year since I did love the movie.)
Glad to know I am not alone in my preference for Leo in The Departed. That was the first movie where I legitimately bought him as a MAN in. Not that I wasn't a fan before, but for some reason he just really clicked in that one for me.

I can't wait to see Nicole Kidman's next movie, whatever it may be. Well, unless it stars Adam Sandler and was not directed by PTA. If that's the case, I'll wait until her clips are posted on YouTube or F/X-TBS-TNT show it 10,000 times a month.
If I had Captain America's shield, I would hold it while drinking some beer at a bar. Something mundane, but absurd with a shield in hand.
Christopher Plummer will win the Oscar for Beginners in February but they really should've won for The Insider, if only to keep Michael Caine from winning that year (Jude Law should've won hands down, and Haley Joel Osment was lead).

Win Win
I hate that you would vote for Sigourney now.
La piel que habito

I can't wait to see WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN.
If I had Captain America's shield, I would take a cue from Nat, and test its Vibranium to Logan's Adamantium. That's all I was thinking when it was introduced. For all its AVENGERS cookies, CAPTAIN AMERICA sure likes to pretend the rest of the cinematic Marvel universe doesn't exist. I guess the Fantstic Four are now the Thrilling Three since the Human Torch has found a new job.
I don't know about the Oscar question. My head so isn't there yet.
Of Gods and Men
Republicans
The films that are released in November, December and January.
Give it to Obama
Meryl Streep will win for Iron Lady but should have won forThe Deer Hunter, Silkwood, Ironweed, A Cry in the Dark, Bridges of Madison County, Adaptation (any one of those).
My favorite so far is deathly hallows part 2. Its flawed, rushed, has plot holes, is sometimes anti-climatic and underwhelming, but as a major potterhead, I like it! And I havent been that impressed with 2011 as far as movies are concerned.
I hate romcons, sarah Jessica parker, kate hudson, natalie portman's Oscar win, glee always nominated for major awards while being awful and lame! I hate that I cant think that midnight in Paris is in my opinion just an average picture without people looking down on me!
I cant wait to see the skin I live in, melancholia, carnage, a dangerous method, tree of life
I have no idea about the oscars so I'll say meryl. Isnt that what people always say whenever she has a new movie coming out? And this one is pure bait: real person + britsh + historical + accent + political + biographical + real person still alive!
Let me Make it clear that I dont think deathly hallows part 2 is such a great movie in itself and I wouldnt nominate it for best picture. I think the series has been uneven, flawed, poorly written and directed in a very impersonal way. But its the last. There will never be another book or movie, so this is my favorite of the year for sentimental reasons
my favorite movie(s) of the year so far are Jane Eyre, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II and The Tree of Life. Though the third alarmed me because I felt so passionate watching it and then instantly indifferent the moment I left the theater.
Ugh. I just hate hate hate the idea that Leo Dicaprio might win an Oscar a la Kate Winslet for yet another mediocre, uninspired screaming spittle performance, just because they're tired of nominating him all the time and because he'll be so "brave" for making out with Armie Hammer. I realize that the intensity of my hate for his acting borders almost on the irrational. Also, I kind of hated the two last trailers I saw: The Amazing Spiderman and Hugo. They both look so.....unfortunate.
I can't wait to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. And The Hobbit and TDK Rises and they're all so far awayyyyy! And Melancholia.
If I had Captain America's shield, I would protect the world from the upcoming Twilight film.
Leo will probably win the Oscar, as aforementioned, but he never deserved it in the first place. Yeah, that's right.
My favorite movie of the year so far is... interestingly, JANE EYRE.
Ugh. I just hate... Mariska Hargitay. Sorry to beat a man when he's down, but come on Academy, every freakin' time?
I can't wait to see... All of you had good picks but I'll try to be different and say SHAME. Steve McQueen, Carey Mulligan, Michael Fassbender (pardon me, Our Lord of Ubiquity)? I'm sold. Other movies I'm anxiously awaiting? TAKE THIS WALTZ (Polley + Williams), LOVE (Haneke and Huppert forever!), YOUNG ADULT (Reitman + Cody) and COGAN'S TRADE (Dominik + Pitt).
If I had Captain America's shield, I would... use it to beat someone when they say Meryl Streep is overrated (believe me, that happens to me A LOT).
JOHN WILLIAMS will win the Oscar for... WAR HORSE in February but they really should've won for... HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE, SCHINDLER'S LIST and STAR WARS. And that's all.
My favorite movie of the year so far is... Bridesmaids or Heartbeats, I can't decide which.
Ugh. I just hate... boring "Oscar" movies. Beginners fits in that category for me.
I can't wait to see... The Artist. It's trailer is the second best of the year for me, behind The Tree of Life.
If I had Captain America's shield, I would... not know what to do with it. I'm not a comic book reader.
Honestly, except for maybe Meryl, which is too obvious, I can't find someone who fits the fifth sentence.
My favorite movie of the year so far is Black Swan (it was here in 2011)
Ugh. I just hate the success of Adam Sandler recently had with his lame films and that of the latest Pirates of still water...
I can't wait to see The Dark Knight Rises...but that's still so long to wait so this year i will go with Adventures of Tin Tin and Dangerous Methods
If I had Captain America's shield, I would try windsurfing on it
Emmanuel Lubezki will win the Oscar for The Tree of Life in February but they really should've won for Children of Men
The last answer i didn't have much idea yet so I looked up other's comments and bravo! Pan's Labyrinth's cinematography triumph over Children of Men was one of the most wtf moments i had with Oscars...his work was kinda out of this world!...so, copy/paste
Favorite of the year: The Tree of Life
I hate: that the best movies hardly ever make any money.
I can't wait for: Carnage! I love all four of those actors, and trust Polanski with the material.
If I had his shield I would: sell it.
Leo DiCaprio will win for J. Edgar, but he should have won for Revolutionary Road, The Departed, or The Aviator.
Favourite film thus far- X-Men: First Class
I just hate that NOTHING BLOODY RELEASES IN INDIA (barring few "certified" blockbusters)
I can't wait to see Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris, Drive, Crazy Stupid Love, Super 8, Dangerous Method, Carnage, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Girl With Dragon Tattoo...basically all the really good films that will never release in India.
If I had Captain America's shield, I'd give it to my brother as a birthday gift. Then he can wreak havoc with it, whatever.
Leo will win Oscar for J.Edgar but he should have been nominated and won it for Titanic. There I said it! I love Jack!!
