I don't like him, particularly, but he's not as bad an actor as Brad I can't stand any of those you mentioned, though I dislike Keanu the least but that was only cause I loved him in Bill and Ted  | |

That's why seeing Brad Pitt up for best actor just doesn't sit well with me. I can enjoy his performances more than Tom or Keanu, he's just not a believable actor. The other two bring bile up in my throat, but at least they don't look like they're avoiding looking at the camera all the time. Keanu was actually great in Bill & Ted and Parenthood My Legacy

ZombieKitten said: sextonseven said: I was able to get a good head start this year. I've already seen the following nominated films:
Australia Changeling The Dark Knight Doubt The Duchess Frozen River Happy-Go-Lucky Hellboy II: The Golden Army Iron Man Milk Rachel Getting Married The Reader Slumdog Millionaire Vicky Cristina Barcelona Wanted The Wrestler I'll definitely see Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Revolutionary Road, Waltz With Bashir and The Class before the awards. did you like it?  No. It began as a comedy then turned into an over-the-top melodrama. Too heavy-handed for me. The cinematography was nice though. | |

I'm staying the hell away from that movie There was a very steamy scene (for women) featuring Hugh Jackman bathing himself outdoors while Nicole Kidman sneaks a peek--straight out of a Harlequin bodice-ripper.  | |

The director was wise not to let those things get in the way of Jackman's soapy pecs. | |

I also loved Encounters at the End of the World, but Man on Wire beats it by a couple hairs. I'm hoping to see Trouble on the Water next week. And where have you been?
I actually had a life for a while. But now all's back to normal. [Edited 1/30/09 10:46am] | |

I'll check to see if I can find some of the other docs on DVD before the awards. | |

no you can exchange the word life with the word boyfriend, then maybe you'll get a better idea  | |

no you can exchange the word life with the word boyfriend, then maybe you'll get a better idea I see.
Is that related to you starting the intimacy thread? | |

I did miss that thread. 
Think of all the time you have now to watch more nominated films! 
Small consolation, I know. | |

i'm really torn between streep and jolie for the best actress category. i've watched both films twice and i still can't decide who i want to win.
what do you guys think? | |

what do you guys think? I would be disappointed if either of them won as I didn't think those movies or their performances were great. Melissa Leo or Anne Hathaway are much more deserving. | |

^i wouldn't be mad if Anne snatched it, but was her performance really that good or is it just that we've seen her in a different light? | |

I think both. Melissa Leo was even better in Frozen River though, but I doubt she'll win. | |
