cborgman said: Best Picture LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) LOST IN TRANSLATION (Focus Features) MASTER & COMMANDER (20th Century Fox) MYSTIC RIVER (Warner Bros.) SEABISCUIT (Universal Pictures) likely to be LOTR, not so much for that film itself as for the massive undertaking of all three. but i would not be terribly suprised if LOST managed to win. "Lost In Translation" or maybe "Mystic River"... The rest of those movies weren't all that, especially that "Master And Commander" crap, why the hell it got a nomination is beyond me... Achievement in Directing Fernando Meirelles for CITY OF GOD (Miramax) Peter Jackson for THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) Peter Weir for MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (20th Century Fox) Sofia Coppola for LOST IN TRANSLATION (Focus Features) Clint Eastwood for MYSTIC RIVER (Warner Bros.) Peter Jackson for the same reason above, although Sofia poses his biggest threat. Fernando Mereilles hands down... The rest don't even come close IMO... Best Actor in a Leading Role Johnny Depp in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (20th Century Fox) Ben Kingsley in HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG (DreamWorks Pictures) Jude Law in COLD MOUNTAIN (Miramax) Bill Murray in LOST IN TRANSLATION (Focus Features) Sean Penn in MYSTIC RIVER (Warner Bros.) Here is probaby one of the few categories in which an upset even has room to happen. Bill Murray and Sean Penn both turned in dynamic performances, and both are long overdue for an oscar. Bill Murray... Best Supporting Actor Alec Baldwin in THE COOLER (Lions Gate Films) Benicio Del Toro in 21 GRAMS (Focus Features) Djimon Hounsou in IN AMERICA (Focus Features) Tim Robbins in MYSTIC RIVER (Warner Bros.) Ken Watanabe in LAST SAMURAI (Warner Bros.) Tim Robbins, easy win Where the hell is Ossie Davis in this?? Best Actress in a Leading Role Keisha Castle-Hughes in WHALE RIDER (Newmarket Films ) Diane Keaton in SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE (Columbia Pictures ) Samantha Morton in IN AMERICA (Focus Features) Charlize Theron in MONSTER (Newmarket Films ) Naomi Watts in 21 GRAMS (Focus Features) charlize theron, easy win Agreed, haven't seen the movie, but she's easy on the eyes, same goes for Naomi Watts... Best Supporting Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo in HOUSE OF SAND & FOG (DreamWorks Pictures) Patricia Clarkson in PIECES OF APRIL (United Arists) Marcia Gay Harden in MYSTIC RIVER (Warner Bros.) Holly Hunter in THIRTEEN (Fox Searchlight Pictures) Renee Zellwegger in COLD MOUNTAIN (Miramax) Renee zellwegger, easy win Holly Hunter... Haven't seen "Cold Mountain" yet, but I hate that Zellwegger monster... Best Original Screenplay THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS (Miramax) by Denys Arcand DIRTY PRETTY THINGS (Miramax) by Steven Knight FINDING NEMO (Walt Disney Pixar) by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, David Reynolds IN AMERICA (Focus Features) Written by Jim Sheridan, Naomi Sheridan and Kirsten Sheridan LOST IN TRANSLATION (Focus Features) by Sofia Coppola lost in translation and in america are both searing, but nemo is a much loved piece. bit of a crap shoot, but probably will go to in america. "Lost In Translation"... Best Adapted Screenplay AMERICAN SPLENDOR by Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman CITY OF GOD by Braulio Mantovani THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING by Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson MYSTIC RIVER by Brian Helgeland SEABISCUIT by Gary Ross Seabiscuit, Mystic River, and LOTR all have a good shot. probably will be Seabiscuit. "City Of God" or "Mystic River"... Best Foreign-Language Film THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS - Canada EVIL - Sweden THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI - Japan TWIN SISTERS - The Netherlands ZELARY - The Czech Republic hard to say, i have not seen any of these yet, although i have heard good things about twin sisters. "City Of God" didn't get nominated?! What a fucking scam! Best Animated Feature Film BROTHER BEAR - Aaron Blaise and Robert Walker FINDING NEMO - Andrew Stanton THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE - Sylvain Chomet finding nemo, easy win Agreed... Achievement in Art Direction GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING (Lions Gate Films) LAST SAMURAI (Warner Bros.) THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (20th Century Fox) SEABISCUIT (Universal Pictures) LOTR, easy win Agreed... Achievement in Cinematography CITY OF GOD (Miramax) COLD MOUNTAIN (Miramax) GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING (Lions Gate Films) MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (20th Century Fox) SEABISCUIT (Universal Pictures) tough call. probably master and commander "Girl With A Pearl Earring" or "City Of God"... Achievement in Costume Design GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING (Lions Gate Films) LAST SAMURAI (Warner Bros.) THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (20th Century Fox) SEABISCUIT (Universal Pictures) tough call. probably girl with a pearl earring I haven't got a fucking clue... Best Documentary Feature BALSEROS CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS THE FOG OF WAR MY ARCHITECT THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND capturing the friedmans, easy win Agreed... Best Film Editing CITY OF GOD (Miramax) COLD MOUNTAIN (Miramax) THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (20th Century Fox) SEABISCUIT (Universal Pictures) tough call... no idea "City Of God" hands down... Achievement in Makeup THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (20th Century Fox) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (20th Century Fox) tough call, since almost all of LOTR and pirates effects that would have been make-up in the old days were CGI. Probably LOTR... Best Original Score BIG FISH COLD MOUNTAIN (Miramax) FINDING NEMO (Walt Disney Pixar) HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema) Danny Elfman deserves an oscar for all the incredible scores he has done and not won once, but big fish hardly seems the score to break his losing streak. it is highly likely LOTR's composer John Williams will win, but it is also possible that Michael Newman could win for nemo. Howard Shore did LOTR... Being a fan of Danny Elfman I think it's due time for him to get some recognition from those clueless cunts at the academy... Original Song "Into the West" - THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" - A MIGHTY WIND "Scarlet Tide" - COLD MOUNTAIN "The Triplets of Belleville"- THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE "You Will Be My Ain True Love" - COLD MOUNTAIN probably into the west Not important, they're all crap...

I am dying to see "Lost in Translation", I swear...
Mystic River was good but unfortunately I saw it dubbed and the idiot's voice that dubs (?) Sean Penn in Spain got on my nerves...it kinna ruined the whole movie for me the other 3, I couldn´t care less about any of them as usual, the most interesting nominations are for the actors and actresses, suporting or lead oh, and I am glad City of God was recognized by the academy, its an excellent movie | |

Can we get back on topic? Okay... 
Tom Cruise and "The Last Samurai" virtually snubbed (except for Ken Wantanabe, who was fantastic!)... The Oscar Gods seem to have no regard for this man's talent. He is constantly snubbed for great work. The only good news today, Nicole Kidman was not nominated... thank God. Too soon to give my  about the noms... I'll pick the winners (or attempt to) later.
Thanks for the thread cborgman!  |

Neversin said: Holly Hunter... Haven't seen "Cold Mountain" yet, but I hate that Zellwegger monster...
i'm not wild about her even though she is a hometown girl here in austin. but she is the one saving grace to cold mountain, and very very very good in it. Neversin said: "City Of God" didn't get nominated?! What a fucking scam!
the foreign film category usually is. the upsets over lack of nomination often occur in this category. Neversin said: Howard Shore did LOTR... Being a fan of Danny Elfman I think it's due time for him to get some recognition from those clueless cunts at the academy... i am such an idiot, two people corrected me on this. elfman fucking rocks, he truly is a modern day mozart, and hands down my fave composer, but for some reason they hate him. i have to think it's because he doesn't go the traditional route with lots of soft strings and what not. but big fish, while good, is not gonna wow em over.

The Oscar Gods seem to have no regard for this man's talent.

Thanks for the thread cborgman! no prob! i agree with you about nicole. i love her and jude both, and think both of them are very good actors in a very subtle way, but their performances while very good in the film, are tediously boring. i was suprised to see jude nominated at all. i honestly thought that spot would go to tom cruise.

It's based on a semi-autobiographical novel by swedish writer Jan Guillou, about when he went to a high-end boarding school in his youth, and about the pennalism he encountered there. Very moving, the young man playing the main character had virtually no acting experience worth talking about before doing this. He's excellent in it. It's worth seeing. U try to see EVERYTHING nominated? :Eek: :impressed: | |

"City Of God" is nothing short of amazing, great directing, even though Peter Jackson did an great job with LOTR he just didn't blew me away like Meirelles did with a much "simpler" movie... cborgman said: Neversin said: Howard Shore did LOTR... i am such an idiot, two people corrected me on this. Don't feel bad man, I first thought Clint Mansell did the score cos they used a kickass revamped/bombastic version of his main theme from "Requiem For A Dream" for the trailers for LOTR... And well I have to say I was pretty disappointed when I didn't hear it back in the movies... i have to think it's because he doesn't go the traditional route with lots of soft strings and what not.
That's why I like his work... I haven't heard/seen "Big Fish" yet, but I can't wait... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O
