Peter Jackson NOT nominated for Best Director.

The Two Towers NOT up for Adapted Screenplay or Cinematorapghy

HERO gets the Best Foreign Film nod


Spirited Away must *surely* win Best Animation against that competition!


Catherine Zeta Jones-Douglas is a dog.

I heard she has put in a bid for some old university accomodation buildings here in Swansea.

There goes the neighbourhood

And lotr: ttt shouldn't have been nominated for best film..

Infact, nothing to do with lord of the rings should be.. perhaps somethign to do with cgi in films.. but that's *it*. The films were totally bland, the oscars are a fucking joke.

 

[PR.]

I didn't realise anyone still cared about these awards?!

I thought they were just there so that when the DVD comes out they can put "Nominated for best <insert title here>"

i agree with everything and chicago being nominated is daft the film is utter bollox

LotR: Ttt is a shoe-in for Best Visual effects, but tbh I preferred the first film far more. The second one seemed to lack the spark the first one had, which was mainly down to the full cast of characters interacting, with the involved tensions and camaraderies.

Plus there wasn't enough Ian McKellan or Chris Lee in the second one for my liking. :/

My predictions for the important ones:

Best picture
Gangs of New York or
The Hours

Best director
Stephen Daldry (The Hours) or
Martin Scorsese (Gangs of New York)

Best actor
Jack Nicholson (About Schmidt)

Best actress
Nicole Kidman (The Hours)

Best supporting actor
Ed Harris (The Hours)

Best supporting actress
Kathy Bates (About Schmidt)

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I've not seen a single one of any of those films.

And I don't care about that, either.

Really scraping the barrel.

 

[Sar]

Neither have I, bar LotR, but the Oscars are usually fairly predictable, unless they're studiously avoiding rewarding certain flicks - last year and LotR for example.

 

[caLLous]

Nice surprise to see Y tu Mama Tambien getting a nomination. Not a particularly excellent film, but original is one thing it is.

And I had a screener of the new Bond film with "loaned for award consideration purposes" overlayed every half-hour or so... [welsh]Gutted[/welsh].
