Best Picture Next Year: Bird Apocalypse Now!

The Oscar nominees have been announced, and the movies that are up for best picture for 2010 are:
1. The Fighter (Excellent Movie)
2. Inception (Excellent Movie)
3. The Social Network, (Excellent Movie)
4. Toy Story 3 (Excellent Movie)
5. True Grit (Excellent Movie)
6. 127 Hours (Not seen, and didn't want to see)
7. Black Swan (Not seen, didn't look interesting)
8. The King's Speech (Didn't see, but looks like it might be good)
9. Winter's Bone (Didn't see, and didn't want to see)
10 The Kid are Alright (Saw it--Not a Particularly Good Movie)

I know everyone has their own opinions, but these are mine. Actually, I don't really have a lot of respect for the Oscars because, in the past, some of the movies that win, I have considered to be mediocre. The fact that Marmaduke and Yogi Bear are not in the running for best picture for 2010 is ridiculous. I liked both of those movies more than Toy Story 3, and I liked Toy Story 3.

In entertainment news, Conan O'Brien's production company has done a pilot for a new television show called, Vince Uncensored. CBS has picked it up so I'm guessing it will be airing before too long.

The best news I read today is that the USDA has poisoned hundreds of birds (starlings) in South Dakota. I am hoping that this is finally an official declaration of war on birds. Maybe the humans are finally listening to a dog!

My Opinion of People's Choice for Best Movie

The People's Choice Awards chose Twilight as the best movie overall. I think once again, this shows how stupid the humans are. Let a dog bite someone even if the person deserves it, and the humans put the dog in a cage and the dog faces a possible execution. However, let vampires and werewolves run amok and the humans make it the best movie of the year. I would think the humans had lost any sense of good taste. However, I also know that with that award, the humans can vote multiple times. Many of the humans, including the ones around here, never bother to vote at all. I guess tweens have a lot of time on their paws for voting. I really don't mind Twilight having fans who love it, but this dog hardly thinks it was the best movie of the year. In my opinion, it wasn't even the best movie of the month. I would vote for Marmaduke above Twilight. Who needs werewolves when you can have cute dogs starring in a movie?

Speaking of movies, my humans saw The Fighter, and they said it was an excellent movie. Jeff said it is a fantastic piece of human film making although it would be greatly improved with dogs. Humans are stupid, and, not to put down The Fighter, if it had an all dog cast, it would win all the awards, and no audience member would not like it. I, I mean Demon Flash Bandit, would be perfect for the lead role. Remember, this is Jeff's review and not mine. For a human, he is very wise--almost as intelligent as a dog like myself.

I've got to go and do some movie research or take a nap--I'm not sure which I will do.
