NO! I just looked up the Oscar nominees, and - they SUCK!
How, how can they snub Big Fish like this!? That was one of the best frickin' movies I've seen in a long time! I mean, Cold Mountain and LOTR were all right, but movies just need to be crammed into a finite amount of time, even if they are epics.
Not to mention, where do they get off, nominating two Sting songs for best song of the year? He's not a bad guy, but there were worthier candidates! Where the f--- is Man of the Hour, I ask you?
The Oscars are going down the tubes. It's over!

I was very surprised that Lost In Translation wasn't nominated for Best Picture :(
Master and Commander?! Hmmmm it was good, but not that good. Still Oscar buffs love that stuff.
I predict a clean sweep for LOTR.
As far for Best Actress the Johanseen chick got SNUBBED!
I havent seen Big Fish Mandy, so I cannot say about that one.

Lost in Translation was nominated, Shoujo.
*fumes*...if anyone deserves an Oscar this year, it's Tim Burton. Oh, and did I mention that Man of the f--kin' Hour should have won the Golden Globe? Yeah, i probably mentioned it about 18 times...

It's not fair... Gigli was snubbed.
Oh wait, there's the Razzies noms... YAAAAAYY!!

'Lord Of The Rings' and Peter Jackson deserve the Oscars more than any other movie this year.
Hopefully this will be it.

The Oscars - voters made of a few thousand young movie people, old movie people, and older movie people
The Golden Globes - made up of 90 foreign "journalists"
The GG have always been a joke, and it's in their best interest to nominate stars, simply to attract attention. They do usually award some fringe show or movie (The Office this year, Alias and 24 both won in their first year on TV), in order to appear "hip."
The Oscars try to remain above it all, but are becoming more of a financial contest. I stopped paying attention to them a few years ago. Do we really need some academy to tell us what is a good movie and what isn't?
And to be fair, Finding Nemo was nominated for Best Animated Film, a catagory created a few years back. There has only been one animated film ever nominated for Best Picture (Beauty and the Beast) and with this new catagory, it's doubtful it will ever happen again.

I was pleased to see that Keisha Castle-Hughes got nominated for best actress.
For those that haven't seen Whale Rider, see it!!! Then buy it and bring in money for New Zealand!

Russell Crowe didn't get a nomination.
Fuck the Oscars!

Also a Dutch movie was nominated for an Oscar, the Oscar for non-English spoken movie. "De Tweeling" (The Twins) It was filmed after a book with the same title. I didn't actually saw the movie, but I read the book which was pretty good. The movie got a lot of positive feedback here in The Netherlands and also in other European countries, so I give it a good chance :)
I also hope that it will be a complete walk-over for "The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King"

I think "Return Of The King" deserves every award it's up for. It truly is a great movie! :D

<< Russell Crowe didn't get a nomination.

That was actually one of the best things about the actor nominations.
Rusell Crowe should spend his Oscar night going to a night club where he can pick a fight with someone.

Return of the King doesn't deserve most of those nominations. But it's all politics. I wanted Big Fish to win something, but it won't. Return of the King WILL be the Best Picture, despite the fact that it's really NOT the best picture. And it got nominated for Film Editing -- and it has the worst editing job of any movie I remember ever seeing.
I don't know if I'll watch this year -- I'm really sick of all the politics.

Return of the King was a well-acted, well-filmes, well-written, very entertaining movie.
That said, it should not win Best Picture. That nod should go to Mystic River. Sorry, but movies should be crammed into a finite amount of time. Same description goes for Cold Mountain.
I was very please to see Keisha Castle-Hughes's name in there - she did an excellent job.
