I had to take a lot of my smilies away when posting.
Anyways, anything for "Brokeback Mountain" or "Walk the Line" deserves two s

 

[lostgirl]

I agree with several of the acting noms but I also disagree with several (Kiera Kinghtly, Gwyneth Paltrow, Shirley MacLaine, and Russell Crowe- none were bad but there were better that could have been nominated) I have yet to see several of the movies though I did see Proof, Cinderella Man Pride and Prejudice and In Her Shoes, so I can judge those performances.

 

[LoveMyBoots]

^ The problem with "Cinderella Man" was the fact that it opened in early summer. What were the studios thinking, this film isn't going to open up to wide audiences, so you should get some nominations under your belt. (Which has been seen to boost BO numbers.) I thought they were Oscar-likable performances, all actors have done better elsewhere, though.

I get really angry when it comes to the Oscar season.

For Your Consideration: Best Actress Naomi Watts, "King Kong"

 

[Odette]

She's breathtaking in that pic.

What happened with Munich? No Golden Globe nom? Why?
I can't wait to see BBM, I loved the short story!
What's up with Capote? Is he going to get the Oscar? How about Heath?
...And Eric Bana?

 

[eternitygoddess]

Munich should win Best Picture! That film was brilliant and Eric Bana did a fine job portraying the lead assassin.

 

[Odette]

Seriously?
I love Spierlberg's work and I want Eric to have his opportunity to shine cause in Chopper...that was too much, very talented.

 

[LoveMyBoots]

This is just my opinion , I try to post up some interesting editorials (if anyone really cares

"Munich" probably didn't get a nom. because the studio decided to release the film only recently and many voters at the HFPA (hollywood foreign press association) weren't too happy about that. I actually saw it and thought it was good but not a "masterpiece".

Brokeback Mountain is lock for all the the major categories, it seems.

I highly doubt Eric Bana is getting a nod. but I would definitely say Hoffman is. Both gave soild good performances but Hoffman is getting more critic awards while Bana isn't getting any. Plus, his mannerisms were just scary in that film. *still shivering*

 

[LoveMyBoots]

oh, I really hope "The Constant Gardener" gets some nods.
I can't believe I didn't read the novel first though.

 

[LoveMyBoots]

This is just one guy's opinion so...

Maybe 'Munich'
Patrick Goldstein details Spielberg's opus — and handicaps the best picture race.

Best Picture Favorites:

"Brokeback Mountain." 4 to 1. For now, the unquestioned favorite, with everything Oscar voters value: great performances and prestigious critic awards, all accompanied by a theme of tolerance that packs an emotional wallop.

"Munich." 7 to 1. If Spielberg makes his case for the film, it will benefit from academy respect for the filmmaker and his serious intent.

"Walk the Line." 8 to 1. Less emotionally stirring than "Ray," but it will benefit from strong actors-branch support for its craft and impressive performances.

"King Kong." 10 to 1. If it's a box-office smash, the good reviews and cinematic artistry will earn this emotion-laden spectacle a trip to the Final Five.

"Good Night, and Good Luck." 12 to 1. With its politics in the academy's comfort zone — safely set in the past — it has enough goodwill to be a serious candidate.

Contenders:

"Capote." 15 to 1. Despite rave reviews and Philip Seymour Hoffman's stellar performance, it may be too austere and unsentimental for academy voters.

"Crash." 16 to 1. Should have strong acting-branch support but needs more grass-roots momentum to bring it back to life.

"Memoirs of a Geisha." 17 to 1. Mediocre reviews and a poor showing with the Globes have put a damper on this beautifully crafted but chilly adaptation.

"The Constant Gardener." 18 to 1. Full of political passion and filmmaking craft, it needs a serious second-look from voters to make a bid for the Final Five.

"History of Violence." 18 to 1. Incendiary and unpredictable, this inspired drama got great reviews but is perhaps too disturbing for mainstream academy types.

Longshots:

"The New World." 22 to 1. After being shut out by the big critics and the Globes, it's running on fumes, especially without any support from its own filmmaker.

"Pride & Prejudice." 23 to 1. A clever adaptation with spirited performances, it traverses too-familiar terrain for a best picture slot.

"Match Point." 25 to 1. Not original enough for the academy to give Woody Allen one final bow.

"Mrs. Henderson Presents." 30 to 1. Not much heft here, but it will find admirers among the older wing of the academy.

"Syriana." 35 to 1. Smart and timely but too volatile politically, not to mention too dense dramatically, to make it to the Final Five.

"Cinderella Man." 40 to 1. The academy shuns high-profile flops, especially with a star who is the opposite of a sentimental favorite.

[poesy]

It's like in (2003? 2004?) Johnny Depp was nominated for Pirates. Now he was great, yeah yeah, but the only reason he was nominated was to pull people in to watch. I felt Bill Murray should've won; but Sean Penn, who I find to be a bad actor, won.

 

[poesy]

And jesus - Natalie Portman in Closer. She was so undeniably awful and fake; the critics loved her though - she was terrible in it! She ended up winning a globe for it and was nominated for an oscar. Ugh.

And like I said, Johnny Depp in Pirates was overrated. Sorry, but he was.

[Kimkhuu]

the Oscars are so boring.... *yawn*

the winners are always so predictable.... most of the time I don't even think they deserve to win anything.... It's mostly a popularity vote.. even the so called "indie" stars or movies they choose are pretty well known...

I could name a handful of smaller productions that deserve an award 20000000000 times more than all those who will be nominated....
