im gonna have to wait a second before i give my predictions.. Just to clarify - those are not my predictions. Those are my choices for the best of the nominations. I don't even try to predict their thought patterns. Not fun for me! | |

I'm hoping Crash wins best picture.
Philip Seymour Hoffman deserves the award for best actor. He was bang on as Capote. My second choice would be Joaquin Phoenix for best actor. I like Reese Witherspoon for best actress. I'm not really a big fan of hers, but she was fantastic in Walk the Line. | |

The only movie among the one's nominated for lead film that I'm interested in is "Capote", which I saw and was brilliant....I'm starting to think that Hollywood is too damn liberal (even though the studio heads are far from!). I'm kind of surprised "Munich", which bombed, got the nod over "Walk The Line". "Crash" was so forced, even though most of the performances were good. | |

RipHer2Shreds said: The list for Best Song nominees is really disappointing. Three songs, and one of them that terrible It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp?
 Can't wait to see that performance. Maybe Dolly will win it. 
abierman said: Judi Dench.....aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh, for the ten-thousandth time.....she's so boring, really can't stand her!!!!!
I don't share your hate for her, but it is tiresome that they nominate her for everything she does. Mrs. Henderson Presents is a good little film, but hardly worthy of any award consideration. It seems like that list gets more and more embrassing each year since record companies have really lost interest in having their artists become part of a soundtrack (and probably vice versa). The superstar pop soundtrack seems to be all but dead...I wouldn't be shocked if this catogery gets scrapped since it's so laughable....Years ago people used to complain that they packed so many popular pop songs on the list that they excluded most hip-hop and R&B....now they are so desperate for nominees...."It's Hard Being A Pimp"? | |

also, how does spielberg always have a damn movie out right around oscar time? Snubbed "The Hulk?" You're joking, right?  There were a smile emoticon....I didn't think "The Hulk" was terrible...Slightly better than "Daredevil" (but then again, so is just about anything). | |

[Edited 1/31/06 14:24pm] why not? I think he nailed that performance down, damn good! yeah he was good, but playing a pimp falls into those easy character categories anybody can play a: pimp hooker stripper crackhead the way to get a best actor/actress oscar is to play somebody who actually existed...famously, like Ray Charles, that Eileen woman who killed those johns, and the pianist guy...u know thats why in my opinion the race is between that Philip Seymour guy and Joaquin Phoenix since they both played people who were famous or something...

maybe you're right, but since Foxx won last year playing Ray Charles, maybe this year those roles are not in favor with members of the Academy....who knows? | |

Without his nuanced performance that movie would have been horrible. or at least 50 cent worthy.  It was a great performance in a lackluster film. The latter part of that equation is why he won't win and why Felicity Huffman isn't a guaranteed win. | |

Joaquin should win for best actor. And they should've nominated that Geisha movie for best picture. Although, Crash was good too. | |

I saw TRANSAMERICA last night, FINALLY!!!! I can't stand that San Jose is a huge city but we're treated like a small town. We don't get the good movies until about a month after San Francisco gets it.
Felicity was flawless in this movie. It was a very very good movie. M MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |
