"Who in the fucking hell liked Speed Racer more than the Dark Knight?"

Erm…Me.
Speed Racer is a paradigm shift in visual effects as radical as the one that occurred in May 1977. Whatever you think of the film, the effects were incredibly innovative and unlike any effects film made to date.

Don't love everything on TIME's list, but Speed Racer is bold and deserved choice. Its definitely going on mine.

Sure, Speed Racer is groundbreaking in visual effects.. so groundbreaking in fact that all the swirling colours only gave me a headache at the end of the movie. And it had a second-rate story, no depth, and total lack of seriousness. Maybe everyone's idea of a great movie is different, but Speed Racer is an utter joke even to itself.

It is a huge tragedy to ALL the snubbed leading actors and actresses if the movie they were in won Best Picture and they got zero. I mean, what's a movie without them?

Even if Pitt gets a nom, i doubt he can win over Sean Penn or Mickey Rourke.

I can actually see Pitt and Jolie getting matching Oscars this year.

Also in Oscar news seems The Dark Knights score is eligible again.

It wouldn't be a tragedy. Personally I think Milk, TDK, Slumdog Millionaire, Frost/Nixon, and Wall-E will keep it edged out of getting too many nominations. But we'll see what happens when it hits wide release.

Time's Top 10 is an absolute joke.
Who in the fucking hell liked Speed Racer more than the Dark Knight? This guy who ignored the Dark Knight should be shot in the head, I mean really what the hell is wrong with the guy?

Speed Racer is a joke. Are they flipping kidding? What a hack. I agree with Spence that graphics don't make up for anything and I work with them all day long.

It would not be a tragedy because he gets to cry on Angelina Jolie's shoulder, who was undoubtedly more deserving in last year's A Mighty Heart. They are the snubb'ed ones.

that is insanity, claiming Speed Racer was anything besides a complete and utter failure of the film world. it is a movie that never should have been made. it is an anime that never should have been made for that matter! making something shiny and wasting millions of dollars on graphics means nothing if the movie is terrible. graphics is not a redeeming factor for anything. it is a luxury. Corliss is dead to me.
