It wasn't them really presenting that bothered me, though it'd been nice to see someone from horror films actually present it. Yes, it was the fact the fact they considered Twilight a "horror" film. Big what the fuck for a lot of people, I'm sure.

i remember seeing clips of Edward Scissorhands in that montage....WTF. The whole tribute was nice to see but what was the point other than taking up airtime?

Probably because they realized that horror movies are rarely acknowledged by the Academy.

Yeah, though I thought it was ironic that Kristin Stewart introduced the montage by saying that the Academy hadn't awarded a horror film since The Exorcist, and then there were clips from Silence of the Lambs on it.

[Pantyshot]

They probably refer to it as a "crime thriller"

[Dan]

Personally, I never thought of it as horror, but it was in the montage, so someone in the Academy must.

Last time I recall anybody or anything being nominated for a horror film, was Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie for their roles in Carrie.

EDIT: Scratch that, It was Sigourney Weaver for best actress for Aliens.

The Departed was good, right?!!

He has something coming out this year, so maybe he'll make an appearance in 2011.

I watched 20 minutes of it, realised it was a SCENE FOR SCENE copy of Infernal Affairs (with parts of IA2 thrown in) and stopped watching. I mean, it can't even be considered a remake or a reimagining, it's just a complete copy. Scorsese should be ashamed of himself, especially since he has far more talent than he used in copying IA. It was sad that he won an Oscar for that film. For sure, he deserves many Oscars, but not for that film because it wasn't his film. They should have given the Oscar to Wai-keung Lau and Alan Mak.

There are a lot of differences. Watch the rest.

Infernal Affairs was a great film, and Scorsese admitted it was an Americanized version. You should give the rest of it a chance, though. It was phenomenal. And Jack was fucking amazing.
