www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16700124 Only seen two of the best film nominations - THe Artist and Hugo. Pretty sure the Artist is going to walkaway with a whole armful of awards though. Great story, great acting, beautifully shot. Was a bit dubious about going to see a silent film in black and white but completely justified by the storyline. A classic Reply to this message | Report message

The Descendants - George Clooney should be a certainty for best actor - motoring connection - he drives a Honda Civic Reply to this message | Report message

She certainly looks good in the clips I have seen. Will watch it on DVD but dementia and growing old don't initially grab me as good night out so haven't paid to see it . Warhorse is doing good trade - Fully booked on Friday night when I tried to get tickets online. For an amusing review of The Artist see www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/2011/11/the_artist.html Mark Kermode easily our best film critic Reply to this message | Report message

Yes, they are gorgeous, Crocks. Better looking than Miss Rita Chevrolet, and they made a better noise too... Reply to this message | Report message

Dutchie, the real one, the Danish one (with subtitles) is MUCH better. Reply to this message | Report message

Crocks and I are the only people who belong here, in a motoring thread, NB! about Oscas. Why don't the rest of you waddle off somewhere else with your inconsequential chatter about schlock movies and unknown so-called actors and actresses? Eh? Eh? Go on, get out of it. Pollute your own category. Reply to this message | Report message

Chelsea would have got more value from their money if they'd spent the £50 million they eventually paid for Torres on a stair carpet instead. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Chelsea would have got more value from their money if they'd spent the £50 million >> they eventually paid for Torres on a stair carpet instead. He should have stayed at Liverpool, perhaps Carrol would have done better @ Chelski. Son worships at Anfield but tells me joke is about a midfielder passing to Carrol being booked: For timewasting.
