Sweeeet! One of the best covers I've seen in a long time. The "5 Academy Awards" text should have been red. Still, can't wait to check this out.
Even the dog looks exhausted and dissatisfied with the cover. A terrible film and probably the worst Best Picture winner in a long time - well, since Crash.
Worthy of movie of the year. Agree with the horrible cover art!
Saw this yesterday. It so deserves the Best Picture Oscar. It's absolutely wonderful! I sat there with a big smile on my face from start to finish. Bérénice Bejo should've won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. There really was no competition.
Overrated. It's literally Anchorman minus the comedy, color, sound, and entertainment.
Alright, that artwork is just goofy-looking.
Wow, way to screw up that artwork Sony. If this was an Anchor Bay release I bet they would've used the very classy poster. Oh well, still getting the blu-ray.
I had thought this was coming out in April so by the time my theater got this I figured on just renting it. But then they changed the date and it was gone here. So I missed it theatrically and will definitely rent it.
So how long will Sony have a deal with Weinstein now? It started with them, and then went to Anchor Bay, and now Sony again I suppose?

I'm going to watch this with sub-titles.
Horrible horrible cover art. Couldn't they just have stayed with the poster? F**king stupid Sony. I wanted a combo pack too.
I should Netflix this. I'm trying to, for once, see Oscar-nominated movies earlier than 5 years after they come out.
Dogggg
Had this release on pre-order until they changed the release date. Went with the French Edition Prestige instead. The artwork is a lot more beautiful and you get the soundtrack and a DVD copy of the film as well. 
the kings speech and the artist got what they deserved. screw the social network and saving (america won the war) private ryan.
The Academy loves the Weinsteins.
They've been tireless campaigners for their pick every year. No other production company is as effective as them.
That's why we got Shakespeare In Love over the arguably much superior Saving Private Ryan or The Thin Red Line, a bootload of Oscars for The English Patient and last year The King's Speech.
I honestly don't feel that The Artist deserves the Oscar, it's flawed in many ways, but the competition isn't very strong this year and the Weinsteins have played their cards very well so far.

You're a little flirtatious, aren't you.
I sort of agree. I'd like to see "The Descendants," "Hugo," or even "Midnight in Paris" take home Best Picture. But "The Artist" truly is a wonderfully energetic film, full of physical comedy, humor, sorrow, and energy. In order to make a good silent film, you need a solid story and a great bunch of physical actors. "The Artist" has both. It's probably my second favorite film of the year after "The Descendants."
Also, glad I'm not the only one who thinks "The Social Network" deserved it more than "The King's Speech." But the Academy loves them some period pieces.
Damn. I guess I'll take my chance on this one then!

I absolutely loved this movie. It was unlike anything I've seen before. I saw Moneyball and the Descendants. I thought Moneyball was good and the Descendants was ok. I did not see Hugo or any of the other nominated movies. But honestly...I really hope the Artist wins. It seems like the majority of people want the oscars to go a "different" route. And I don't think there is anything more "different" than the Artist.
P.S. Day one buy for me.

I think Anchor Bay's deal with The Weinstein Company probably expires when the movie comes out in April.
But don't they still own a stake?
They probably do.
