Speedysurfer Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 What did you all think of this years Oscar nominations? Were all of you surprised like me that Jack Nicholson wasn't nominated? And who do you think that will win?
Guest Stefkov Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I'm a hermit. I stole this computer from a traveler. Who's been nominated? I dont really care, but I just want to know.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I'm a hermit. I stole this computer from a traveler. Who's been nominated?I dont really care, but I just want to know. Same here. If John McGinley isn't nominated for something i'll cry.

Academy Award winners previously announced this year: Honorary award (Oscar statuette): Ennio Morricone Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (Oscar statuette): Sherry Lansing The last good Academy Awards were probably in 2004, when LOTR was nominated for a record number of awards and Jack Nicholson and Billy Crystal were Gandalf and Pippin at the start of the show.
Noodleman Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 It has been a poor year, hasn't it? Except 2 of those films are awesome?
Hellfire Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 The oscars suck but there were some good movies this year.
Guest Stefkov Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Same here. If John McGinley isn't nominated for something i'll cry. The same you dont care or are a hermit.. The last good Academy Awards were probably in 2004, when LOTR was nominated for a record number of awards and Jack Nicholson and Billy Crystal were Gandalf and Pippin at the start of the show. ahah. Billy Crystal as Pippin. I'd like to see that.
dabookerman Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I want to watch Babel, because it has a Japanese girl in it. And she plays a blind character, do you know how hot that is?

Cube Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is the only good film in the whole list...
Monopolyman Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Out of all the Best pic. nominations, I've only seen The Departed, but that was a fucking awesome film. Probably my favourite of last year. Can we get a pool going, because I think I can make some pretty good guesses on who will win.
killthenet Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Rubbish and massively wrong as usual. "Pan's Labyrinth" should be up for Best Picture, "The Prestige" doesn't get a look in and "Hidden" isn't up for a thing. Only interesting thing about it is that two of the writers from The Day Today are nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay... Patrick Marber for "Notes On A Scandal" and Peter Baynham for "Borat". Would be very strange to see the men who player Iggy Pop Barker and Colin Poppshed recieve an Oscar... very strange indeed.
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Rubbish and massively wrong as usual. "Pan's Labyrinth" should be up for Best Picture, "The Prestige" doesn't get a look in and "Hidden" isn't up for a thing. Pan's is on foreign language films. ^^ There is a limit to how many movies are nominated for best movie... The only one wich is misplaced is probably "The Queen". And The Prestige would never win the oscar, anyway(and I still haven't seen it).
killthenet Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Yeah, I know but "Pan's Labyrinth" isn't just the best Foreign film of the last 12-months it's the best film of the last 12-months. Language shouldn't be an issue, it should be up for both.
Solo Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Rubbish and massively wrong as usual. "Pan's Labyrinth" should be up for Best Picture, "The Prestige" doesn't get a look in and "Hidden" isn't up for a thing. Isn't that the French film from like two years ago? I'm glad The Departed was nominated as it was awesome. I would of personally liked to see The Last Kiss in there (personal choice of course).
killthenet Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Whoops. "Hidden" came out here in 2006, but was originally released in 2005. Wasn't up for anything last year though, which is ridiculous. Haneke is a freaking genius.
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 It would be bizarre if The Departed won the best movie award... Even though it's a great movie, it's an exact copy of the Chinese original Infernal Affairs. It just can't qualify as best movie, seeing it's basically a (very very very vey very very good) clone.

It should win if only because Marty was beaten by dances with wolves and the fucking bodyguard in previous oscars.
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 It should win if only because Marty was beaten by dances with wolves and the fucking bodyguard in previous oscars. Marty should win Best Director. But Departed should not win best movie.
Ramar Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 As long as the Borat film wins an Oscar then justice has been done. Its a comedy, and I didn't stop laughing throughout. Therefore it was highly successful in its aim, and so making it a great movie. He deserves an acolade for such a great film.
