Thanks Jack Tavern.!
That was a joy to read.
This is what great films are: an event and experience.
(I didn’t know where to put the following it so I put it in here.)
Wow, what a day. I have FI-NAL-LY seen Lincoln. In a town 40 km far from where I live where it was fortunately played. The whole trip took six hours. And in short: it was absolutely worth the effort, even the long walk home (after having missed the connecting bus). It made me think all that way.
But to begin from the start. After having arrived at the town by train I was – among other things – walking along a John-F.-Kennedy-Circle (!) and going past a construction site where the sign of the company was attached to a fence. The sign said “Bauunternehmen (Building Company) ABE”. What do you know about that, huh! Nice omen, I hoped. And as I know now, it came true.
Now getting on to Lincoln. I found it to be an amazing film. In so many ways. The film’s not just about the 13th amendment and the abolishment of slavery it also mirrors today’s politics which haven’t changed much since. And since racism unfortunately doesn’t seem to vanish from the earth and since politicians (all over the world) seem to become more and more selfish, narrow-minded and disunited about whatever a film couldn’t be any more zeitgeisty. Or inspiring. Or encouraging. Everything about Steven Spielberg’s film was drawn so well. The characters (played by an equally amazing cast), the dialogues and the overall plot itself, with its highs and lows, with its melancholic, tragic and sometimes even funny moments. For me the film was never boring or too talky. The things in the film (most of all the important ones) had to be said. And rightly so.
After having seen the film and already being back in my city I was going past a shop whose door shutter had a huge Oscar statuette on it. Another nice omen, I thought. Well, we’ll see about that, right? I personally wouldn’t mind if Lincoln really didn’t win tonight’s DGA Award or the Best Picture Oscar. As with my national soccer team not winning the World Cup 2006 at home it would still be my winner of hearts (for now, since it’s only based on one viewing).
Conclusively I’d like to say the following: before the screen we’re all equal, whether we agree with one another regarding a particular film or not. In the end we’re all film lovers.
(Sorry for having written so much, but I was just too lazy to stop. ;-))
Seeing lee and spielberg embracing is akin to seeing Kurosawa and Hitchcock together!

Affleck looks off-kilter like he doesn’t belong.
What time does the DGA announce?????
Will AD be doing a preview or NGNG for the Art Directors Guild Awards (also tonight)? Mentioned this to you on Twitter but not sure if you saw it.
Er… Ben Affleck seems thrilled to be there…
Cameron,
Les Miserables is as graceful as a bull in a china shop. It was a hot mess of a film. I think Hooper deserved the win for The King’s Speech for sure, sorry Social Networker lovers, but hell no he doesn’t deserve a nomination for that abomination of a film called Les Miserables.

They are probably lined up according to height but it’s still funny that the three not nominated by the academy are all together to the side. Maybe the academy hates tall people? LOL.
what character is this sitting on Death Proof car, next to Lucy Liu?

1st picture: “I wish I knew how to quit you”
2nd picture: “I’m not that girl that fucks”
These pictures say it all Ang Lee and Spielberg are not-so-secret lovers (that or they just have itchy backs) and Tom Hooper towers over the competition, though Ben Affleck’s scruffy hair gives him a run for his money.
Three of the greatest directors ever and then two who have absolutely no business standing next to them. Hooper has no knowledge, understanding, or care for the visual language of film and Affleck is an effective by the numbers hollywood man with no vision. and yet he keeps getting his ass pity kissed, but i dont really know what the excuse for hooper is.
Cameron, I completely agree with you. Le Miserables is a challenging work and Hooper stands with the other four directors deservingly.
Wonderful picture of Ang and Spielberg!!!
Ryan, here’s what we talk about on twitter about the introduction of LINCOLN outside the US.
After the title, with beautiful music, these words appear over the divided US map.

Hope you understand and get the idea of these extra element they decided to include outside the US. Which in my opinion, they should have left it for the original theatrical release in the US because most of my american friends didn’t know much about the civil war. Weird that I and many foreigners now more about your civil war as many americans. At least many people went to see it in the US. Could it be the Spielberg factor?
Say what you want about Tom Hooper and The King’s Speech…after seeing Les Miserables a second time I’m convinced that he deserved a nomination as much as any other. It’s an incredibly challenging work and he pulled it off with finesse and grace.
