The nominations will be (what I think will happen):
Best Picture
Brokeback Mountain
Munich
A History of Violence
Walk the Line
The New World or Capote
(First 3 are shoe ins...)
Best Director
Terrence Malick
Steven Spielburg
David Cronenburg
Ang Lee
George Clooney and/or Fernando Meirelles (sp?)
Best Actor
David Straitharn (Good Night and Good Luck)
Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow)
Viggo Mortenson (A History of Violence)
Phillip Seymor Hoffman (Capote)
Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain)
and maybe the B-grade Phoenix brother
Best Actress
If Q'Orianka Kilchner doesn't get nominated for best actress (especially since she was 14 when The New World was shot) the Oscars are even more worthless than they've become.

Anna Paquin got a supporting actress nomination for The Piano, and I think Haley Joel Osment got a nomination for Sixth Sense. Kilchner does a better job than both of them with a lot more demanding role...StormShadow wrote:I will be very surprised if Kilcher gets nominated. Not saying she doesn't deserve it (hell I don't know, I still haven't seen the New World), but she'll never get a nom.

Yeah, and Whale Rider chick did too, but none of them were nominated for lead roles I don't think. And as I'm typing this I'm second guessing myself. I don't think Whale Rider chick did get nominated. I'll be back in a minute.Icesickle wrote:Anna Paquin got a supporting actress nomination for The Piano, and I think Haley Joel Osment got a nomination for Sixth Sense.

ok, my thoughts...
More than anything, I'm incredibly happy and surpirsed that Amy Adams got nominated for Junebug. She was incredible.
And Batman Begins for cinematography? That's pretty sweet.
Although it's lame that The Constant Gardener did not get a nomination for this. It didn't get many nominations at all, actually..
Crash getting both a Best Picture and Best Director nomination is stupid, but I cant really say I'm surprised.
Peace to Howl's Moving Castle
It's weird that Catherine Keener was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. She really didn't do much. Maybe I was just completely unaware of her presence. But from what I remember, she really didnt have much screentime at all.
AND PSH WILL FINALLY GET AN OSCAR

The Oscars are over.
Good Night, Good Luck and Capote over History of Violence, The New World, Squid and the Whale, Constant Gardener and Hustle & Flow????
NO GRIZZLY MAN FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY????
A fucking woman playing a transvestite gets a nod over Kilchner?! OH WAIT, KILCHNER'S ISN'T A CUTE WHITE KID, SHE'S NOT JEWISH, AND SHE WASN'T PLAYING A GEI OR A DRUG ADDICT!!!
Armond White knows what's up:

Kinda pissed off that History of Violence got shut out so hard. As usual for the oscars there's some nominations that I think are just great (I'm looking at you William Hurt), and most of them that I'm just left scratching my head in bewilderment. Oh well, par for the course.
Oh, and Icesickle, Grizzly Man was never getting nominated. It got shut out of the short list a few months ago.

I'm well aware. I just think it's funny that you cry 'racist' and then use 'jew' in a derogatory fashion.Icesickle wrote:You know it's possible for Jews to be racist, right? Refer back to Spike Lee's outburst after 4 Little Girls didn't get nominated over 2-3 Holocoast docs?StormShadow wrote:Riiight.Icesickle wrote:racist, Jew fascists

It's not like I called them kikes or himies... I said "Jew fascists" since they're Jews, and the Awards have always catered to Jewish interests and performances over any other ethnic group.

There are very few movies on this list that rise above the mediocrity of middle of the road prestige feel good Hollywood trite, but that was to be expected. That said, hopefully Good Night and Good Luck wins everything it's nominated for. John Stewart better be reaaallll fucking funny if they expect me to sit through this.
Also, I'd like to state on record that if Memories of a Geisha wins best costume design, I will personally go down to L.A next summer and fling bags of flaming dog poop at the academy. I can't believe they nominated the idiots who thought that "traditional geisha costumes look to foreign/weird/boring" for American audiences and decided to wing it. IDIOTS.

I really don't see why you're so high on Good Night and Good Luck. David Straithairn puts in a top 3 performance of the year, but in terms of filmmaking it's not much of an accomplishment and frankly is really mundane.Funk Docta Bombay wrote:There are very few movies on this list that rise above the mediocrity of middle of the road prestige feel good Hollywood trite, but that was to be expected.

Munich is a much better film than all of the others (although I haven't seen Brokeback, so I can't comment) in terms of story, directing, acting, score, cinematography, set design, et. al. The only movies that're fucking with it are New World and History of Violence.

Can you please explain how GNGL is better than Munich?Andvil wrote:Nah, Capote, Brokeback and GNGL were all better than Munich. Crash shouldnt even be on the list, but I can understand why it's there I guess. I'm not surprised.
From a technical standpoint alone Munich takes King Kong shits all over it. (See the sequence when the blood stained walls merge with Bana's conscience, the hotel scene, the opening hostage taking scene, etc.). It makes Clooney's direction look like some desaturated I-Film.

If a movie is technically better than another movie, that doesnt mean its absolutely better than the other movie. And I know that's not what you meant, but you know what I mean. Maybe I'm a sucker for the black and white (even though it was a lousy black and white). Maybe it had something to do with the dumb sex scene at the end of Munich, intercutting with the hostage stuff (dont try and explain it to me, I know why it was there, I just dont think it worked. There's no convincing me otherwise). That's really the only part of the whole movie I didnt like, and there werent any parts I didnt like that I can think of in GNGL. That doesnt necessarily mean I thought all of its parts were GREAT. But yeah.
oh by the way (I just watched Brokeback yesterday so I havent had a chance to say anything about it), I really dont think Heath Ledger is worthy of a Best Actor nod. His drawl sounded so forced....he was speaking like Scott Stapp from Creed sings. But he did a good job.
And I think it's pretty much a joke that it got nominated for original score.
It's just a guy playing the same 5 chords on a guitar the WHOLE MOVIE. I'm not even fucking joking. It works though I guess.
