Well I can guarantee The Diving Bell won't get any Oscars
http://www.totalfilm.com/movie_news/oscar_nominees_announced!
However it did win two important Golden Globes (best director, best foreign film)
you guys got a rating out of 10? full marks maybe?

This totalfilm page is not loading, but Diving Bell & Butterfly is nominated for 4 (I think... it's too late to count. :-) Oscars. http://www.oscar.com/nominees/ (I'm intrigued, what does total film say????)

I'm thinking about the rating. I thought it was a really good film, but it is not an easy topic. But it beats everything else I've seen this year.

I have 2 tickets for this on 31 Jan @ 6.30pm, I managed to get tickets for an earlier screening so don't need these now.

For those who went to see The Underdog, how was it?

victoriajayne1987

i saw underdog! was quite good! better than i expected! quite funny, i didnt get bored and look at the time every 10 minutes which is a bonus, cuz i usually would! if u have a good sense of humour and take it all lightly and dont think about anything when you're watching it, its highly recommended!

I suspected at first that perhaps the official Oscars site was only showing the short lists rather than the noms, but Empire has just verified your info - sorry!
TF unreliable for once!

Thanks - this confusion is now easily resolved when I look at the list. Total Film is showing the French title of the film, Le Scaphandre et le papillon, not the English one we've been discussing. :-)

And I still have two tickets for 31 Jan @ 6.30pm at Odeon Greenwich. I will email them that I can't go on the 30st if no one wants them but if someone does, they are up for grabs until then. I have this strange feeling that some Juno screenings might be a wee empty this week.

I'm just about to cancel 2 tickets for Juno on Tuesday at Cambridge Vue cinema (www.screenbookings.com) - enter 6681.

Good luck!

AdamAW

I too have put 2 tickets back on the screenbookings site for Juno tomorrow, but for Vue Cribbs Causeway, Bristol - if anyone's interested.

(i've got tickets closer to home instead)

I cannot believe how SPOILT we all are.
Please snubbing Juno' s tickets because there are too many!!!!OUTRAGEGEGEGEOUS!!! Hurray! Long live the "good life"!
We are all millionaires!
