As soon as I saw Gangs, I thought no one could beat Lewis, and I still would pick him over Nicholson, even though I loved Jack in that movie. Renee was fantastic in Chicago, didn't see Far From Heaven. I rented Unfaithful last wknd, and Diane Lane deserved that nom. I guess Nicole is the frontrunner.

Best Picture-I loved Chicago, but also The Hours. Two Towers I also really enjoyed, but imo it doesn't stand a chance

Has anyone seen The Pianist?

 

[dizzy]

I have yet to see "The Pianist". I think "Chicago" will win Best Picture.

I hope Daniel Day-Lewis wins Best Actor.

 

[martha]

Dang. I wanted to see all five movies this year, but I don't think I can handle The Pianist. I don't do Holocaust movies very well.


Screaming nightmares and all.

 

[Angel]

So far I have only seen "LOTR" I have a lot of movie watching to do. I want to see them all though... but are they all playing in my little city?

Yay for Renee!!

 

[IWasBored]

i wonder if this is going to come to a surprise to anyone, but i really hope day-lewis wins best actor

 

[Mrs. Vedder]

I hope Nicole wins!! She did an amazing job in that movie! And she's my fav actress!

 

[IWasBored]

and i hope scorsese wins best director

 

[Saracene]

Best film for "The Two Towers", but no nomination for Peter Jackson??? Did the movie direct itself or something? Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Really happy to see Salma Hayek, she was awesome in "Frida".

 

[Kariann]

and i hope scorsese wins best director

I'll be surprised if he doesnt. I think it will be not necessarily for Gangs but for his body of work.

Hope for a win for Daniel as well. He'll have competition from Nicholson but hey he already has 3.

I think best picture could be Chicago with all the nominations and Nicole Kidman for best actress. I havent seen The Hours yet but from what I see she gives a great performance.

...competition from nicholson...*grumble grumble*...

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

Best film for "The Two Towers", but no nomination for Peter Jackson??? Did the movie direct itself or something? Grrrrrrrrrrr!

No crap. The only movie I haven't seen out of the best picture noms is The Pianist. Two Towers is, in my opinion, the best out of the four I've seen. I can't believe they snubbed him again (well, actually I can...) Maybe he'll get it for Return of the King if people realize "hey...he directed THREE great movies!" but I'm not holding my breath. Also, I'll eat my shoe if Scorsese doesn't win best director. He doesn't deserve it for this film, but they'll give it to him cause he should have one already. Note to Academy: give people awards FOR A FILM THAT THEY DESERVE IT FOR. Anyway.

The acting noms are great. Good to see John C. Reilly and Queen Latifah in there. I figured Catherine's nom in that category would knock here out. Ed Harris was also fantastic. And I think Julianne Moore is one of the best actresses out there. Basically, everyone in "The Hours" was incredible. And, of course, there is the impeccable Daniel Day-Lewis. I'd love to see him win, although I've heard good things about Michael Caine in The Quiet American.

Hehehehehe. I get so excited around Oscar time.

 

[IWasBored]

i'd be a bit more likely to THROW my shoe at the tv than to eat it...

 

[Kariann]

I would be doing the same.

 

[IWasBored]

i have thrown things at the tv before, i'm not joking...

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

i have thrown things at the tv before, i'm not joking...

So have I. Shoes, in fact.

 

[Kariann]

I have yet to throw shoes. As a movie lover I do love Oscar time and tend to get tense but havent been driven to the point of shoe throwing...yet!

 

[IWasBored]

i usually throw things at tv shows with cheesy endings, when there are too many commercials, stupid movies with bad lines, when train beat u2 for some grammy, or when jack nicholson won best actor for "as good as it gets"...i don't even think i cared who he was up against, i just HATED that movie

i beleive i had bare feet when nicholson won the golden globe award...

i've been known to chuck anything from shoes, video boxes, the movie book, parts of the movie book (that was before i taped it back togehter, oddly enough i wasn't the one who destroyed it)
