Like not just the quote but it’s places on a picture like (a garden, landscape, or anything) these are just examples.
Also quotes about love, broken hearts, life.

LOVE QUOTES –

“Hatred can be overcome only by love.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“They say true love only comes around once and you have to hold out and be strong until then. I have been waiting. I have been searching. I am a man under the moon, walking the streets of earth until dawn. There’s got to be someone for me. It’s not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone.” – Henry Rollins

“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” – Benjamin Franklin

“Let the man who does not wish to be idle, fall in love” – Ovid

“That which is loved is always beautiful” – Norwegian Proverb

“Women give nothing to friendship except what they borrow from love.” – Seneca

“Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

QUOTES ON BROKEN HEARTS –

“How else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?” – Oscar Wilde

“The human heart knows thing the eyes cant see, and feels the things the mind cant understand.. but if love is just a word, then why does it hurt so much when you find it is not there???” – vanessa schiffer

“I didn’t expect to fall for you, but I did. I didn’t expect you to break my heart, but you did. I didn’t expect the wounds to heal, and they didn’t.” – Ani Ovasapyan

“If a man talks bad about all women, it usually means he was burned by one woman” – Coco Chanel

“Great loves too must be endured” – Coco Chanel

“I got along without you before I met you and I’ll get along without you a long time after you’re gone.” – Willie Nelson

LIFE QUOTES –

“Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.” – Rabindranath Tagore

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.” – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.” – George Bernard Shaw

“Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“The great advantage of a hotel is that it’s a great refuge from home life” – George Bernard Shaw

“Consideration for others is the basic of a good life, a good society.” – Confucius

“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” – G. K. Chesterton

These are the only 3 Oscar Nominated pictures I have seen so far….will be trying to watch more before the Oscars…
I have to edit to include d) The Social Network. I want to thank my first response as well, to remind me that I had seen it!! Plus, his great critique of the films listed.
His user name is Spacemar Spiff….(the first answer)

A) The King’s Speech is a true story brought to you with great acting and inspirational achievement. A truly enjoyable film and one of the top contenders for best picture and top contenders for one of my favorites.
B) The Kids are All Right is a decently made movie with great acting but the main reason that the Oscars nominated it was because it was a lesbian film so they could follow the lines of political correctness.
C) Inception was not a masterpiece of story, but rather idea. It took an interesting idea and made a movie out of it. It’s not great for acting either, it’s enjoyable for the same reason The Matrix is enjoyable. I thought it was really good, but not great.
In my opinion, my favorite movie of the year was The Social Network. The Kings Speech is a close second and then True Grit. If you’re going to see one of them I’d suggest The King’s Speech if you want a great movie or Inception if you want an awesome universe of almost pure originality. Of course Inception is much more a part of the culture in today’s society so I would suggest it before Speech.

I think Slumdog Millionaire was a good movie but it wasn’t as good as everyone is saying it is. I have seen all the movies up fo oscar best picture and i think that Milk was by far the best one next the Reader, the curious case, the frost/nixon, then slumdog. It makes me mad because the Academy has a soft spot for little movies that could and i really think others movies got jipped.

I think Wall-E should have won best score, I was very upset by it. I also think that Wall-E or the Dark Knight should have won best sound mixing over Slumdog. I think it just got to the point where people were voting for every category slumdog was in without stopping to think about the technical aspects

What is the imagery and language used in the picture of dorian gray, please put page numbers if you can!
Thank you!!

Summary and Full Text

Is it just me or are some of the Oscar Best Pictures typical for winning the award but not necessarily the best film of the year?

Of course…..I lost faith in the oscars long time ago, they mostly pick wrong actors, directors and films….Whatever the reason is, and sometimes they even nominate supporting characters as "Best actor, Actress" because that character was "deep"….Seriously?
Big example for wrong picture choosing "Chicago", "Out of Africa", "Chariots of Fire", "Shakespear in Love", "Casablanca"….etc

Out of these movies (which are most likely to be nominated)…which one do you think should or will win an Oscar for Best Picture?

- Black Swan
- The Fighter
- Inception
- The Social Network
- The King’s Speech

These movies were also nominated for the Golden Globe Award tonight. ‘The Social Network’ won.
I personally want Inception to win…awesome movie and i really hope The Social Network doesn’t win again…ugh!

Inception

I need a picture that would be a good representation of witty.

Well for smart they usually do images of Einstein with a big forehead… Or something Einsteinium kind of thing.

For witty they used to draw pictures of Oscar Wilde or George Benard Shaw….. Now days I think the only person that would be highly recognizable would be Jon Stewart or Jay Leno.

For a generic pic you could try Ben Franklin… or a guy with a thinkers cap on…. or maybe instead of a light bulb above their heads…. maybe a twisty florecent light bulb.

Out of these movies (which are most likely to be nominated)…which one do you think should or will win an Oscar for Best Picture?

- Black Swan
- The Fighter
- Inception
- The Social Network

Inception

During last nights 2011 academy awards, the best motion picture was all of the nominations in some mish-mash.

What was the song that was playing in the background? My girlfriend is dying to know, and we have no way of figuring out!

I was also moved by the music and know I had heard it before, so I went to my CD collection and found it. Beethoven Symphony #7, the second movement – allegretto

1994 was probably the most stacked group of nominations for best picture ever. Forrest Gump won however critics and fans say Pulp Fiction or Shawshank Redemption deserved it. What movie do you think was the real winner.

You can make a case for Quiz Show and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

you could make a case for any of them. but forrest gump or shawshank deserved it imo.
