    Like these ladies, but the academy needs to stop gushing over this film. They didn't give this love to Knocked Up or The Hangover.

    about time we got more female hosts but Im strongly against the movie winning Best Picture, it was good the 1st time around but isnt good enough for replay value

    A nomination for best screenplay? What the f*ck were they thinking? Not saying it was a bad movie but OH MY GOD it dragged on forever, it felt like Wiig couldn't help but overwrite every single sequence in the film. Everything was too long. I cut out 30min of the film in my head while watching it. Definitely not deserving of a nomination, there were many, many much better written films in 2011.
