Crash's ensemble win is probably an indicator it'll pick up a BP nomination for Oscars. After Reese's speech tonight, I doubt she can lose Oscar. There's really no movie capable of beating Brokeback Mountain, Vickie, I don't think you need to worry about it losing to Crash. Telling...

Ang Lee won the DGA award. Werner Herzog won the documentary DGA award. interest in the oscars here seems to fall off exponentially year by year after Lord of the Rings is over. I still think Munich has a chance, I don't think Capote will be nominated. I doubt Constant Gardener can...

hah, for once I'm right. Thanks for the numbers Seth I think with M$B there's that 'great movie' element in that voters simply enjoyed M$B as a film more, thus voting it best picture, even if people in the respective crafts may have voted for Aviator for best costume design, cinematography...

Almost Famous had all four, I think, and wasn't nominated, but that may be my misremembering, it may have only had three.

Yeah I can't remember actors accurately after three months apparently, especially if I'm posting late at night. I only just figured out that Frank Langella played Bill Paley and not Don Hollenbeck, which blew my mind because I thought all the supporting actor praise was going to the Don...

I can't see Ledger losing, Hoffman is due and his performance is outstanding, but Ledger to me delivered the performance of the year. I rewatched Sin City tonight, damn shame Mickey Rourke isn't remembered for this role, it's the highlight of the film and joyous fun, and I'd say it's damn...

New World is ignored because it ran for two weeks in LA and NYC, didn't get a critical powerhouse backing, and is a 'complex Malick film that is slow' and there are two cuts, the version on the academy screener dvds that ran for two weeks, and the version that came out nationally. It was...

Just saw Brokeback tonight and if it wins, it wins on merit, not liberal kowtowing to issues. I was blown away.

My number one Oscar prediction this year is that if Munich fails to secure major Oscar nominations (director, picture, screenplay, actor) critics will suddenly discover it's okay to like the film and within two years it'll be endlessly talked about as Spielberg's finest film (along with ad...

The award-release arena has changed significantly in the small movie zone that Merchant Ivory was successful in ten and fifteen years ago. They just didn't do a good job promoting or selling the movie. They didn't put it in the prestige theatres in LA (instead funky/old art house theatres) and...

The ASC nominations are in, the big surprises are no Munich, no new world, but three other of the front runners made it: Batman Begins - Wally Pfister Brokeback Mountain - Rodrigo Prieto Good Night and Good Luck - Robert Elswit King Kong - Andrew Lesnie Memoirs of a Geisha - Dion...

I'll be mad if that Narnia song is nominated, it's a junky contemporary piece that has no business being on the credits for that particular film, it annoyed me in the theatre when I heard it, the only sour note at the theatre for me.

I got that instant greatness buzz off of Narnia, one breathtaking moment they hold the quiet before the battle engages, just utterly marvelous. Overall the movie is much much more than the sum of its parts and was just a perfect movie experience and perfect night for me. :) Adam

I really hope Henderson is nominated a lot, because it deserves nominations for cinematography, song (were any of those original? some were from the era, but anything new should get a nom and a win, multiple noms for anything new), picture, director, actress, supporting actor, screenplay, and...

Mrs. Henderson Presents was launched at two 'meh' theaters for it's exclusive LA engagement and it's doing meh box office compared to the intelligent exclusive launches of Geisha and Brokeback at one of LA's highest attendence theatres. That's a shame cause it's my favorite film of the year...

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!! SPIELBERG HAS STEPPED OUT OF THE BOX WE CONSTRUCTED FOR HIM AGAIN!!! PUT HIM BACK! PUT HIM BACK! BAD FILMMAKER! :D:D:D

whoops, yeah, Kloves, it was late :b

According to Poland, Mrs. Henderson Presents just this week started screening for academy audiences, and it went over like gangbusters with that crowd (which has been drenched in serious film of late). A funny thought popped into my mind when I saw a trade add for Harry Potter today. It'd be...

the cinematography field seems to have cleared itself up, here's my most current guesses at cinematography nods Brokeback Mountain Good Night and Good Luck Memoirs of a Geisha Munich The New World I had said earlier that New World was shot in 70mm, from a quick glance through ICG...

I liked the film a lot but didn't expect to. I think that most of the reviewers are in the same position, they were expecting a train wreck and the film seduced them with beauty and elegance. Still it could end up like Cold Mountain, On the other hand this is an extraordinary directing...

Memoirs of a Geisha likely oscar wins: Art Direction Costume Design Cinematography Original Score likely nominations: Picture Director Actress - Zhang Ziyi Supporting Actress (Gong Li) Editing Makeup possible nomination Adapted Screenplay. This is an awards monster, it's...

Munich will get the press screenings it needs, there'll be talent at those screenings to discuss the movie. And it will probably get some press the week or two weeks before the movie's release. Spielberg pulled the same tactic on Saving Private Ryan, saying there'd be no press push on the film...

Mrs. Henderson Presents quicktime trailer I think this film just earned itself a best picture nomination with one line in the trailer to Mr Vandamme. :) watch the trailer first: Why Mr Vandamme, you are Jewish

I think it could be either Gromit or Howl's, also either Howl's or Corpse Bride may lose a nomination to Madagascar, I doubt Chicken Little is strong enough to compete against those four films.

fifteen films are eligible for the best feature documentary award this year. There'll be five nominees in the award. This is the short list, 82 films were eligible, the documentary branch at the academy screened those films and selected out these fifteen to continue on for academy awards...

ten films are eligible this year for the best animated feature award, that means there will only be three nominees. If there were sixteen or more eligible films, there would be five nominees. "Chicken Little" "Gulliver's Travel" "Hoodwinked" "Howl's Moving Castle" "Madagascar"...

I think it's funny they include two films, Ask the Dust and All the King's Men that won't even be released for this years Oscar season, and both of those are ranked higher than Walk the Line. :p

Saw Capote myself and agree with everyone else that he will be nominated. However I have a hard time seeing the film make a BP nomination.

From Spielberg himself, the film will be completely locked and finished by November 30th, he gave the impression that editing was already complete and they're working on sound and music right now. Poland mentioned this week that the first press screening of Munich is December 7th and...

which will all be screening the week after thanksgiving, the rest of us don't get them til three weeks later. :)
