Cinema Blend: "I've just finished interviewing Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy, both of whom won slam-dunk Oscars two years ago for Slumdog Millionaire and are back in the race again this year with 127 Hours, which has been quietly building steam since premiering at the Telluride and Toronto festivals in early September. The movie is as big a challenge to typical Oscar stories as Slumdog was in some ways, taking place almost entirely in the canyon where Aron Ralston was pinned by a falling boulder, relying on a whole slew of subjective filmmaking techniques to tell the story and showing, graphically, the moment when Ralston cuts off his arm to free himself-- it's so intense that people have passed out at a number of screenings.

I kinda hate how the Oscars go to certain films just for the feel good moments. Its not really hard to create those moments. I think the award should be focused more on overall quality of a film, like Cinderella Man or The Hurt Locker, both those were well deserving awards.
