I thought Big Fish was last year?


All I hope is that Eternal Sunshine( specifically Carrey) KB vOL. 2 and Garden State get nominated. They are in my top five of the year. I swear to God if Carradine or Thurman dont get nominated Ill scream.

[randy ze tool]

"Big Fish" was last year, nominated for Best Original Score.

This year's nominations will all but exclude "Garden State" and "Eternal Sunshine," except the distant possibility of Best Original Screenplay for Charlie Kaufman. Look for "Garden State" to win Best First Film at the Independent Spirit awards, but I'd be completely shocked to see it take a little gold man.

As for this year's Best Picture, I really have no idea just yet, but I'm willing to bet Scorsese gets a sympathy Oscar, regardless of "The Aviator's" quality. I'm sure "Alexander" and "Farenheit 9/11" will make appearances in the Best Picture category, and I wouldn't doubt a Director nomination for Quentin Tarantino, but it's too soon to tell. The good movies haven't come out yet.

You didn't happen to care for Garden State, did you?

[Mav-Man]

Kill Bill Vol. 2 nominated? Ha! That's a laugh. I do hope that David Carradine get's nominated for supporting actor though.
Eternal Sunshine better get some nominations as well. The Aviator & Alexander will surely get some notice. Fahrenheit 9/11 may get some notice as well. But it's not as likely as The Aviator and Alexander.

[Troy Zuniga]

Not that it's incredibly likely, but I'd like to see Uma Thurman get nominated.

Fanning was the best thing about Man on Fire

Ive only really liked 4 or five (ESOTM, Kill Bill, Anchorman, Collateral and to a lesser extent, the Candidate) out of the 15 Ive seen for the year.

The Girl Next Door

No offense intended, but there's not a chance in hell that the movie'll get nominated.

I doubt any movie that has been released already, will get nods, let alone win. The Asscademy proves every year, that just about EVERY major player in the awards gets released between Oct and Dec.

As for Passion... I don't really think it'll win. It might get nominated, but it won't win. It's too "controversial"... and in my opinion, sucked ass... but then again, a movie doens't have to be good, to win, it just has to make a ton of money (see Lord of the Rings).

The Academy doesn't take chances, and there are rarely EVER any surprises, and this year won't be an exception.

Jamie Fox will probably get nominated for Ray, but won't win, cause Denzel already took the token award... which he didn't deserve... for Training Day.

The Razzies will be a great show this year tho. Can anyone else see Catwoman taking it all?

What she said (and I haven't even seen the movie. Of course it's abvious it's not gonna get nominated).

Actually, I feel that sometimes the Razzies are just as "panderous" (shut up, it's a word!) as the folks at the academies. I mean for god sake's, Michael Bay is slowly solifying his place is cinematic history as the worst directors since Ed Wood yet he's never once won worst director. It's also predictable that Gigli, a film that's being reconised as merely decent to kinda bad in films buff circles had a total sweep last year? there's also the fact that Stanley Kubrick is close to having as many nominations as Bay.

...for The Shining too...

[rushmore beauty]

I know that most of what I'm going to nominate doesn't have a chance in hell of actually getting nominated, but fuck it...

Most of the real Oscar bait hasn't been released yet (Closer, Kinsey, The Life Aquatic, Finding Neverland) and I'm pretty damn confident that this list will be dramatically different by the year's end...

[deuce5]

sorry to barge in and ruin your parade, but Garden state won't win a single award.

I loved the movie, but it's just the type of movie that i good, but not great, and not a "winner."

Same goes for Kill bill v1, or v2. Good movie, not the type of winning movie.

[Korny]

I heard that Jamie Foxx is already being tipped as a possible best actor for Ray

I've rumors of consideration for supporting role in Collateral. But Ray, if he's any good, there will be some consideration there.

Read the top line on the first post. It said who would YOU nominate. Not who you think would be nominated.

[Tweek]

gah! sorry

[JCR]

I've seen the machinist, and I will be SHOCKED if christian bale isn't at least nominated. He is a tour de force in that movie.
