Cinenaut	post #2  on January 31, 2006 - 11:35 AM PST   Lots of "issue" films that Academy members can feel good about voting for this year.
DLeonard	post #3  on January 31, 2006 - 1:19 PM PST   That's 3 nominations for George Clooney; acting, writing and directing. Had Syriana gotten the nod for Best Picture he could have added a 4th nom as producer. Nice job!
underdog	post #4  on January 31, 2006 - 1:51 PM PST   How come Kong and Gromit didn't get any acting nominations? I would have preferred Naomi Watts to another Charlize Theron nomination, but what do I know? But seriously... Jeff Daniels was the biggest snub, imho.

Of course, we know that can happen. I have a list of which nominees I think will win. In years past, I used to also have a list of which nominees I think deserve to win, but as I see fewer and fewer of the movies that even garner nominations, I stopped. :)
kohnfused1	post #6  on January 31, 2006 - 4:53 PM PST   Since Corpse Bride and Wallace & Grommit are claymation, would it be safe to say that Howl's Moving Castle is a shoe-in? Just wondering.

I'd go so far as to call that one the "favorite." Also, Miyazaki's already won an Oscar, which shouldn't preclude him from winning again since his work is always wonderful, but it does sometimes work against someone in the voting. Plus, it would be fun to see Gromit come on stage to accept the award.

I'd be happy either way.

On the other hand, Nick Park also has an Oscar, for the Wrong Trousers short, I think.

I have no idea. :-) But I do think it will be close between those two. Corpse Bride winning would shock me (though you never know).

So, in effect, Dis-knee actually has an indirect presence in the category. :-(
hamano	post #14  on March 5, 2006 - 7:06 PM PST   Hey, let's get some live reports as we watch the Oscars! Right now, all I can say is that they've declared war on DVDs... I just turned it on a few minutes ago, and I've already heard two speech snippets telling people to screw the DVDs and go back to see films on the big screen in a theater! Brokeback won the best score Oscar... contrary to the opinion of the NPR expert Andy Trudeau, who has correctly predicted the winner a couple of times...
hamano	post #15  on March 5, 2006 - 7:06 PM PST   Did they say which film won the Best Animated Feature Oscar yet?
hamano	post #16  on March 5, 2006 - 7:21 PM PST   I just saw an AMEX commercial with M. Night Shyamalan.... I guess he's officially in the "Seinfeld" phase of his life. Doesn't he have a new film coming out this year? I don't think I've heard any buzz about it at all... The commercial was pretty BORING, too. I hope he didn't write/direct it himself.

I'm only just looking at the update on Yahoo news. Don't care enough to actually watch the Oscars.
Yowanda	post #18  on March 5, 2006 - 7:57 PM PST   Here we go - see who's won so far: http://oscars.movies.yahoo.com/ It must be almost over, right? It's 10pm CST. Or does it go to 11pm CST? Oh, I gotta go watch the Boondocks. Guess I'll catch the rest of it tomorrow...

I was watching T2 (on a local spanish channel) en espanol last night. That's how much interest I have for the O's.
