Blue Valentine

Marriage is a beautiful thing... or not.

Nominated For:

Best Actress - Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams gives a heart-shattering performance, and Ryan Goseling is solid - why Jeremy Renner got nominated and he didn't beyond comprehension. In fact, why this film didn't get nominated for musical score, cinematography, or screenplay is kind of a travesty. But hey, its the Oscars. Why should I expect anything different?

Thank you, Blue Valentine, for bringing to life all my worst-case relationship scenarios, destroying any last residual romantic sentiments that may still be lurking in this cold, dark heart of mine, and hardening my resolve to avoid marriage at all costs.

Rating: 4 for innovation, 5+++++++++++ for emotion and 5 for cohesiveness
