as always, the Academy stays away from contraversy/bravery.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe neither film was Oscar-worthy, but F911 was the most fun I've had at a movie in decades. I laughed. I cried. It was the feel good movie of 2004. Britney Spears stole the show.

Wow... I would've otherwise assumed they were rivals in a way.melon said:Speaking of Michael Moore and Mel Gibson, get a load of this:

Did you realize that both Mel Gibson and Michael Moore expressed admiration for each other's films? It's true. With all this "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "The Passion of the Christ" war going on, they actually admitted liking each other's films quite a bit and it logically makes sense.
Did you know that Mel Gibson's "Icon Productions" was originally going to finance "Fahrenheit 9/11"? That amuses me most of all.

Jamie Foxx should win, or Don Cheadle.. I haven't seen Hotel Rwanda because it's never played near me, but he's an amazing actor

Embarassingly bad in Ocean's Eleven though.
I think he was great in Collateral (didn't see Ray, probably won't), from what I can remember of Booty Call, he was hilarious.Anthony said:Don Cheadle is remarkably overrated, simply because 'Hotel Rwanda' is a pretty good movie. Jamie Foxx was alright in Collateral, but he was fantastic in 'Ray'.
Anthony said:I'm quite certain of two things;
a) Jamie Foxx will win for Best Actor
and
b) Martin Scorsese will be passed over, yet again.
Ant.
P.S - I liked both 'The Passion' and Fahrenheit 9/11.
