Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker
NASTINCHKA: A QT upset here would be, well, an upset, but not surprising. I think the strength of the film's in the directing/editing, though.
Ethan Coen and Joel Coen, A Serious Man
NASTINCHKA: I love the Coens. I can't wait for True Grit. A Serious Man is about the fucking most intolerable thing of theirs I've ever seen. How can a movie be wankier than Burn After Reading? The answer may surprise you!
Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, Up
NASTINCHKA: Shit, are these the guys who brought every adult male I know to tears in the first segment? YOU MANIACS.
Alessandro Camon and Oren Moverman, The Messenger
NASTINCHKA: [wah-waaaaaah horns] Boo, hiss, undeservement. Fin.
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
NASTINCHKA: Magnifique. And he'll have a leg up, too, unless the Hurt Locker groundswell is even bigger than we think.
HEAD-SLAPPING, THEN NEIGHBOR-SLAPPING SNUB:
NASTINCHKA: Rian Johnson, Brothers Bloom. ONE-LEGGED CAT, you guys. Can't believe the lack of love this charmer got for its troubles. For Shame.
WINNER:
LIVIA: Inglourious Basterds. Striking and well developed. Like me.
NASTINCHKA: Like us.
I *meant* like us.
