The much hyped Hollywood nominees are not even in the money-making Top 10. Who is Hollywood trying to kid?

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

Interesting. The top three gross films are:

1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
2. The Chronicles of Narnia...
3. Walk the Line.

And then #4 trailing the pack is...

Brokeback Mountain

Transamerica only made $4 million? That's funny.

Thanks for the gro$$e$!

Over at Boxofficemojo.com, Brokeback's banished from this weekend's take. It doesn't even rate. As a matter of fact, the stats on who's going--and who's not, are impressive. Good riddance. Stats for decrease in ticket taking indicate a double digit of over 20%, and in some cases 40%, for the day, even for Tyler Perry.
