The 84th Annual Academy Awards is right around the corner, airing on ABC Sunday February 26 at 7p.m. EST. And though the Academy has a pretty stable voting system in place, we thought it would be refreshing to let SodaHeads decide on the winner for a change. Enough of those stuffy and pretentious Oscar snobs, it's time for the people to decide what movie wins!

We've done our research and gathered together all the Oscar categories and movie nominations. Now, all you have to do is vote on them. Visit our Oscars Quick Vote list or just click on the image below. May the best movie win!

The Oscars aren't even worth the effort it takes to watch them anymore.

Who exactly picks the nominees?

The fact that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows wasn't nominated shows just how much of a farce the Academy Awards are.

and who could forget this omission -

Sad how they aren't judging the actual movie, but instead who directed it.

So true. I'm thoroughly displeased that harry potter didn't get nominated.

OnyxRaven to Jayfeather 2012/02/20 01:51:36

It just proves how messed up the Oscars are - a, frankly, terrible movie like Hugo got nominated, but the epic final movie of the biggest movie franchise of all time didn't. What is this?

"The Help"

Out of the ones I've see (which is about half) this was my favorite. I also loved War Horse, but I'm pretty sure it won't win.

"The Descendants"

I have not seen all of them so it would not be fair. You did not have a choice of not sure. I know that I did not care for the Help. That movie was like reading a book out loud. What was the director thinking about having a narrative account throughout the whole movie. I found that to be a nuisance.

Why would that film of all the great films this year be nominated? They botched up the ending to a 10+ year world phenomenon. They chose special effects over basic storytelling and ultimately that isn't good film making.

I do think the Harry Potter films do deserve an outstanding achievement award though, because they managed to accomplish wonderful things.

With the exception of adapting the book into a screenplay, films are nominated for the quality of acting within them and the brilliance of it's storyline.

The fact that the movie was originally a book, as well as the differences that exist between the two, are never considered in the equation to begin with.

There has never been a film that was nominated, or won the award, that does not differ in some manner from the novel that it is based on.

reply
Vieuphoria to Stacie 2012/02/19 00:06:51

I didn't mention the book? I mentioned the poor storytelling within the film. The storytelling which was rushed, and sidestepped in order to stick visual effects in place. The acting (in places) was superb, the set design is perfect, but the narrative just isn't fully dedicated and thus the film suffers.

and on a side note. Worst 3D effects of all time. Should never have been converted in to 3D.

Um... Return of the King won the Oscar for Best Picture. The first two didn't win, but Return of the King did. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0...
So... that wasn't an omission.

Stacie to Splinter76 2012/02/21 07:12:22

I was referring to Sean Astin being snubbed by the Academy for his portrayal of Samwise Gamchee.

The clip of Sam carrying Frodo to the lake of fire. That scene alone warranted a nomination. :)

Ohhhhhh gotcha. Very good point. I take back my "correction" then. :)

No, problem. I should have made it more clear. :)
