It’s been surprising to see the Danny Boyle directed, James
Franco-starring 127 Hours get pretty much shut out of major awards nominations,
such as yesterdays DGA nominees. It’s a
visceral, well-made film, and Franco’s fantastic in it, so given that it’s
Boyle’s follow-up to Slumdog Millionaire, I was expecting
more awards talk.
Well, Boyle and Franco can take solace in the fact that 127
Hours is the week’s most pirated film, with more downloads than flicks
with far wider audiences, like Little Fockers and True
Grit
Here are the week’s most illegally downloaded movies,

1.127 Hours
2. Megamind
3. Little Fockers
4. Inception
5. TRON: Legacy
6. Ultramarines
7. Death Race 2
8. True Grit
9. Saw 3D
10. Tees Maar Khan
While 127 Hours hasn’t been snatching
awards up like The Social Network, don’t count it out at the Oscars.
Are you surprised to see the survival tale topping the
week’s torrented movies? To what can
this sudden jump be attributed?
