Crash?????? Munich??????????

I hate the Oscars. I wonder if Crash is nominated because they sent the most screeners out to academy members? What a contrived piece of crap. Did I mention crap? Silly? Useless?

I hope Capote wins. And Strand mentioned Walk The Line not being nominated. That's a shocker.

OMG, I thought that Crash was a very very good movie. It was disturbing and I was upset that people could be so cruel to each other but it made me think and that is what good movies are suppossed to do. I hope it wins the oscar.

Amen to all of that. Crash was nothing more than a Paul Haggis bowel movement.

I'm excited for "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" to win best song.

I'm excited for Corpse Bride to win Best Animated Film. It's out on DVD today.

I was upset that it got such glowing reviews when it amounted to nothing but preachy, implausible swill, manufactured by pompous idiots who seem to be under the impression that they created important art. It gave smug elitism a whole new name.

They have to give her one sometime, she's consistently flawless.

Me, too. You saw that movie? I watched it a couple weeks ago. The movie was okay, but Terrence Howard was great - I'm glad he got nommed. You know the lady who played the pregnant girl? I was watching the extras, and when I saw how she is in real life - her performance impressed the hell out of me even more. Good performances all 'round.
And did you see the story of the Memphis guy who came up with that song? I thought that was very cool.

Anyhoo...I call: (I can't decide who they'll pick for best actor yet. It's a hard one this year.)

Jake Gyllenhaal supporting
Felicity Huffman should win, but I'm gonna bet Reese Witherspoon best actress. The Academy does love them some made-up-to-look-ugly Charlize performances, though!

Michelle Williams - supporting. I would be ecstatic if Catherine Keener got an Oscar, but not this time.

Who saw The Constant Gardener? I heard it's very, very good. Diss?

No, I just think it'll be funny for them to announce that song as an Oscar winner.

I say it goes to Clooney. Jake should be thanking his lucky stars that he even got nominated, just like William Hurt (who was in A History of Violence for all of five ****ing minutes at the end). The two of them are the Alan Alda's of this year.

I don't think Brokeback will win any acting awards.

Witherspoon, unfortunately. I want Felicity to win it so bad, though.

Rachel Weisz is already clearing a space on her mantle for her Oscar. I loooooove Keener, but she had absolutely nothing to do in Capote. She was a mere set decoration.

It's VERY good. I was crying like a baby by the time it finished.

At some point today...I'm going to stop by Tower and pick it up. Shiny and new.

I think Brokeback will win some. But anyway, you should see Hustle and Flow. It's pretty good. Weisz? I dunno about that.

You'll get a copy when we marry.

I should also stop by and get more white underwear. Why do laundry when I can can just buy more???

I can't believe I just typed that. Back to PM on that topic.

I don't think it stands a snowballs chance in hell. It hasn't won Golden Globes or SAG awards for acting; the chances of it winning anything at the Oscars are so low. Hoffman will take best actor (and I'll cry), Gyllenhaal is lucky just to be nominated, and Williams will lose to Weisz.

I predict best picture, best director, and best adapted screenplay.

Isn't it about rap music? I couldn't possibly.

For sure. She's already gotten the Globe and the SAG award.
