Looks like LOTR lead the nominations.  I would have to think that it will get best picture and director.  I mean all of the movies were good and it hasn\'t won any of them.  As a whole that is a great piece of work.


Lost in translation looks like someting I need to see.  Is it still in the theaters?  I\'ve never even heard of it before.  The clips looked funny.

Bill Murray finally had his day @ the Golden Globes last weekend.  Everyone know he still wants an oscar, and we all know he has deserved one for quite a while now.

As for LOTR the "experts" say a sci-fi never wins big at the oscars, especially never big picture.  This was proven when A Beautiful Mind beat FOTR even though it was mediocre and very forgettable.

W0W, I\'ve already seen all the best picture nominees without even making an effort.  That\'s a bit unusual.  The only one that has a prayer of beating LOTR for best picture is Mystic River.  That was actually quite a good movie, but not BEST PICTURE caliber in my opinion.  LOTR is the only one of the five that fits my definition of what a Best Picture should be.  Seabiscuit would be a distant second by that analysis, though I didn\'t really like it.

I can\'t believe Depp was nominated as best actor for Pirates of the Caribbean.  An entertaining performance, but not BEST ACTOR level by any means.  Apologies to Bill Murray, but Sean Penn should take that one.

I will cover the other categories later.

Holland is also represented with "De Tweeling".In America this has been transformed into "Twin Sisters"

It\'s about 2 girls(twins) that have been separated when they were young,many years later they meet again.


Way to go Holland!

No cabin fever nominations?

Seriously Jackson deserves an oscar for what he has accomplished. Depp is probably the most talented actor in Hollywood, but he does not deserve a nomination for Pirates. IMHO.

It would be funny if Depp won for Pirates.  I thought he was great in the movie, but it isn\'t the type of movie Oscars come out of.

heh, maybe it\'s my bias for Murray wanting him to win an oscar and all.  I think he does great work, he practically did Rushmore for free in hopes of getting oscar buzz.   Imo he has really good screen presence, I just feel like laughing/crying/joy whenever I see him on screen.

Anyone who says that any Wes Anderson film "sucks ass" immediately loses my respect.  Rushmore was a work of genius.  

Just like with SirMystiq, I would ask you "why?"  It\'s hard for me to imagine anything about it that anyone could NOT like.

Damn, there are only like 8 Australian noms, and Nicole and Russel got snubbed, those bastards!

Naomi Watts is an amazing actress, I hope she wins, though I reckon Charlize will get it.

Renee Zellwegger deserves to win for Cold Mountain. She was just amazing.
