    Oscar Watch 2005 - pre-awards discussion

    I'm not sure if this goes against forum rules (please delete if it is) and I apologise if it does and don't mean to offend anyone but I can't recall an Oscar season with this many liberal films in contention.

    Has anyone seen The White Countess by Merchant-Ivory? I can't believe this film is not up for any of the pre-Oscar awards. I just saw it today but it was shown late last year in some festivals. It is a beautiful film. Natasha Richardson is deserving of a nomination and Ralph Fiennes is even...

    Regarding the GG noms, if the Oscar voters follow the Best Picture route, I think it's safe to say this year's Oscar show will probably be the lowest rated. I hate to say it but none of the GG Best Picture nominees are (or will be) box office smashes. People want to root for something they've...

    I think King Kong will be this year's Titanic. Lots of rave reviews coming from big critics. I don't think everyone was expecting this to be an Oscar contender for BEST PICTURE but it looks to be one now.

    So is Clint Eastwood working on anything lately that has a possibility of being released before the end of this year? If I recall, no one was talking about Million Dollar Baby at this point last year.
