Quote from: redlumThe Wild Thornberrys song (although I love Paul Simon) instead of Jon Brions song from PDL.

"Here We Go" wasn't used in "Punch-Drunk Love" and thus was ineligible.

Good News: Michael Moore is going to win an Oscar. I can't wait for his speech. Talk to Her getting nominated for screenplay & director, although you know it's just going to come in last place, without even a foreign nomination. Meryl Streep & Chris Cooper for Adaptation, although we all know Streep had a leading performance.

Bad News: No PDL, no PTA, no Sandler. LOTR, Chicago, Michael Caine, the Holocaust movie, Michael Caine, Road to Perdition, LOTR. So predictable overall. So predictable.

I have high hopes for our nominations. Maybe they will be revealed today!

Go Holland go Holland, it's your birthday!

Haha , some shitty movie outta me country got a nod, I was drinking some water and sprayed that shit all over the room when I saw it had a foreign film nomination, couldn't believe it.. Because I didn't even see it; it's some shitty romance pic, only good thing about it, is that it's shot in cinemascope.. Guess I'll rent it sometime, but definitely not a deserved nomination- although still fuckin unbelievable funny... (the flick is entitled "Zus en Zo" and I heard Hollywood was planning on doing a remake... what's new  :? ...)

Wow, this is the first year when I haven't seen any of the best picture nominations. I wonder if this says something about my laziness or about the quality of the films they chose.

For one thing, why do the oscars hate PTA? For another thing, Road To Perdition wasn't best picture good. Amazing cinematography and a few good parts, but overall it just didn't do it for me.

Quote from: Jeremy BlackmanBad News: the Holocaust movie

Don't write it off as just that. "The Pianist" is much more and deserves all the nominations it received, and, in fact, would be my pick to win Best Picture.

Quote from: Duck SauceI wont be watching the Oscars this year

Yeah right.


RK- totally agree - why Adaptation is in the best adapted screenplay category I have no idea. I think it's the most "original" screenplay to come out of Hollywood in some time.

I was kidding (I hope), and that's just my lame excuse for not having seen it.  :oops:

The fact that Jon Brion wasn't nominated for Best Score is an injustice.

Quote from: Satcho9The fact that Jon Brion wasn't nominated for Best Score is an injustice.

Lots of people that saw the movie thought that the score was intrusive and hated it. The academy is there to please the audiences of the popular movies so people can think they're film buffs.

Just kidding, sometimes the academy does good things. It's fun to watch, anyway.

Not bad actually. Although Christopher Walken winning over Chris Cooper for best supporting actor is not really kosher...

A really touching acceptance speech for Conrad Hall by Daniel Craig.

Charlie and Donald Kaufman wrote a really funny acceptance speech for Meryl Streep to read and managed to mess it up..

"I'd like to Spank....ok.... thank Spike Jonze"

QuoteAward winner Saul Zaentz used his acceptance speech to criticise George W Bush.

Zaentz, whose production credits have included One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, won a Bafta fellowship at the Orange British Academy Awards.

He criticised government for the few by the few and told guests: "In the words of Martin Luther King, we shall overcome."


This had everyone standing for applause.
