Your point? When was the last time the awards critics were right? No Country For Old Men Sucked.

i liked it, but that just shows that even between the two of us random ppl, opinions can differ greatly. So why should a couple of other guys get paid to tell us what movies they thought were good or bad?

While I don't watch or pay attention to any award shows, I wonder if Cloverfield will win any? It wouldn't really change anything, but it would just be nice to win one of the big ones even if it's just for ROAR.

The "Vantage Point" trailer gave away all the surprise twists and turns, and "In Bruges"... well... DANG IT! The "Cloverfield" teaser was one of the most thrilling and curiosity-sprouting things I've ever seen in a cinema. Wow. What a rob (no pun intended) it experienced.

It would seem that the people doing the trailer awards probably resent Cloverfield for it's trailer not being essentially a mini-movie of sorts (which far too many are anymore), and for having been thought of by someone obviously commercially savvy and not just artistically creative. I can't think of another trailer that so effectively 'teased' the audience as the teaser did. Who would have believed before this that a teaser with no title and no reference to go by could get people to actually hunt down the film's info - for 6 months!

Sometimes, the 'elite' are loathe to accept that an 'outsider' did a better job than they have. Oh well.

From what I've seen Cloverfield opinions are Black and White, Some Love it and think it's Underrated, the other half think it's lame and overrated, I still lean toward the latter, but I did enjoy the ARE regardless
