Thread: 2005 Oscar Noms

  1. Million Dollar Baby is an amazing movie and anyone who doesnt like it has no soul. The title might be a bit lame (I dont dig it too much), but whats in a name?

    As for Scorsese getting cheated... no. On one hand, he deserves a statue, but on the other hand... Million Dollar Baby isnt Dances With Wolves (beat Goodfellas, 1991) or Ordinary People (beat Raging Bull, 1980). Its totally deserving.

    So he really wasnt robbed this year.

    He was/is an awesome actor and he directs very well also.
    Eastwood is a better director than he is actor.

  2. ray was awesome, i didnt see million dollar baby but if even clint eastwood might have edged out scorsese in directing, i think they should have given the oscar to him just to acknowledge what an awesome director he is, i mean eastwood won once already an scorsesee was snubbed 4 times, now 5.

  3. Scorsese has been snubbed twice - with Raging Bull and Goodfellas. I dont think anyone actually thinks he deserved to win with Gangs of New York (it was a mess), the Aviator lost to a better film, and Last Temptation of Christ was the dreaded "one best director nomination whose film isnt nominated for best picture". It happens every year, and those guys never win. Look it up if you dont believe me.

    As for just giving it to him because he deserves it for his overall body of work.. thats not right and people complain when that happens to someone they dont like (like when Julia Roberts won instead of Ellen Burstyn in 2001). I doubt Scorsese would want to win with an inferior film just because the Academy thinks he deserves it.

    It's alright not to LIKE something. But to say it's not a good movie shows you have poor judgement and taste.

  6. So why would the title be stupid to you then?

  7. Are you offended? Get off my nuts, I thought the name sounded stupid, you dont have to agree, but don't start defending it like it really matters. I'll point out that I never said that Million Dollar Baby was a bad film, from everything I've heard its a quality film.

  8. If I knew reasoning would be such a touchy issue with you I wouldn't of posed a simple question.

  9. That was one of the worst oscars I've ever seen. Not because of the nominations or anything, they just changed the whole format of the show around, and it was weird. Also, like no one showed up.

  10. I imagine the Academy will break down and give Marty a life time achievement statue in the same manner they did Hitchcock.
