So who do you think has a good chance at the Oscars this year? There were some good movies this year, and some really bad ones, some good acting, and terrible acting. |

Batman Begins. War of The Worlds. Those aren't the kinds of movies that win Oscars. Those are the kinds of movies that make lots of money. I GUARANTEE War of the Worlds doesn't get nominated for anything except maybe special effects. Willy Wonka...MAYBE Best Actor. Batman Begins, I can't say, I haven't seen it. But the Academy doesn't generally go for superhero movies. |

Critics almost universally thought it was mediocre-to-bad quality. It was full of plotholes and unexplainable coincidences and things. It won't get nominated for anything but special effects. Maybe sound editing. |

People die. Aliens die. The end. Smart movies win awards. Example of a smart movie: Return of the King. It won all those awards because it wasn't just blow-up-die-action. The characters were unique. The settings were amazing. The lines were perfect. It was a smart movie. |

At least I hope because I really liked it. And not just the Oompa Loompa songs, the Main Titles song is actually my favorite. |

There still is about six months for the Awards to actually happen. That's plenty of time for other movies to come out and be made. |

Where have all the good movies gone?! It's the end of year- all the Ocsar contenders are supposed to come out around this time (sometimes they're even nominated before they're released to the public, or at least it seems like it), and I can't say one movie I really want to see/think is going to be really good. I can't even say a lot of movies I saw this year that are Oscar-worthy. Not even Rent-- and I had high hopes for that movie! Maybe this year just has me discouraged, because of all the really bad remakes that came out. And that ship is yet to leave the station. |

That movie was ingenious in all forms of execution. It's #99 on IMDb's top 250 movies for a reason. |

OH. I told you War of The World's would be moninated! And not just for special effects! But seriosuly. Jon Stewart was great(and yeah, he was the fourth male role in Death To Smoochy ). I liked what he said about Bjork not being able to come because she was trying on her dress and Dick Cheyney shot her.
And it's good to see tht the eighteen nominee no win got an Oscar. |
