2005 Oscar Noms

[Cowutopia]

This year was great for bad comedies.

[Mzo]

I think I saw maybe 3 movies last year and regret watching two of them.

It's just too expensive nowadays.

what he said, i saw Troy and Spiderman 2 last year in the theaters, thats it, the latter by sheer happenstance, I guess my interest isn't really there anymore.

Best Oscars was the one where Halle Berry and Denzel won with Sydney Poitier winning an honorary award.

Since then I realized what a meaningless hunk of shit these awards are.

I realized the Oscars were crap, when a movie like My Left Foot, beat out Born on the 4th of July for best picture. Then Daniel Day Lewis wins best actor along with that.

Dude, Driving Ms Daisy won that year, not My Left Foot

Yeah, I just realised that. I couldn't believe that Born on the Forth of July was beat out by Driving Ms. Daisy. Tom Cruise played the best role of his career in Born on the Forth of July and then loses out to a nobody in Daniel Day Lewis. Cruise will never win an award.

Eastwood is really great in Million Dollar Baby, but yeah Foxx has it. Its a dead on impersination.

Eastwood will probably win for Best Director, much like he did for Unforgiven. It's a shame he never won for best actor.

Yeah, I just realised that. I couldn't believe that Born on the Forth of July was beat out by Driving Ms. Daisy.

I dunno, Driving Ms Daisy came on the other night and I enjoyed it quite a bit, pretty great movie, I don't really ahve an objection to it raking in the oscar.

Daneil Day Lewis, a nobody? WTF

Cruise will never win an award.

For good fucking reason.

[gamevet]

Daneil Day Lewis, a nobody? WTF?

Yes, a nobody. Here is his list of movies:

2001- Gangs of New York
1997- The Boxer
1996- The Crucible
1993- The age of Innocense
1992- The Last of the Mohecans
1989- Eversmile New Jersey
1989- My Left Foot
1988-The Unbearable Lightness of Being
1986- A Room with a View
1986-Nanou
1985-My Beautiful Laundrette
1985- The Insurance Man
1984- The Bounty
1982- Gandhi
1982- How Many Miles to Babylon (TV)
1977- Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Before My Left Foot, with the exception of Gandhi and The Bounty, his roles have been in movies that nobody really cared about or heard of.

Was his role in Gangs of New York, all that memorable? Not really.

I dunno, Driving Ms Daisy came on the other night and I enjoyed it quite a bit, pretty great movie, I don't really ahve an objection to it raking in the oscar.

Morgan Freeman made that movie great. He is such a great actor, yet he doesn't get the props he deserves. Shawshank Redemption would not be the same movie, without his presence in it.

Oh, my god.
