Changing tired subject.
Nominated, yes, you are right.
But we all know they won't actually win anything.
Perhaps "Walk The Line" may win something, but the rest will probably win nothing.
A film celebrating the true bravery of US Army Rangers and their rescue of POWs would never win something from "The Academy."
But the flaming homosexuals, black racists, angry atheists, destructive Muslims and goose-stepping Communists will instead triumph.
March of the Penguins will probably win against Darwin's Nightmare.
Witherspoon will probably win for Walk the Line.
Narnia will probably win for Visual Effects.
""Oscar has gone very serious this year," Grove said of the nominees. "In the past, the Oscars were only about great filmmaking and entertainment, but now its about passing on an important message.""
Evidently, in this era of the "Great Satan" (to them - Bush, of course), Hollywood en masse has seen fit to come out of the closet, beat its collective chest (like King Kong) and shout out: "WE'RE LIBERALS, WE'RE PROUD, AND WE'VE GOT AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE!"
Why do I have a feeling no one's going to be listening this year?
No, that's just another symptom of your latest STD, you sick, twisted, Hollywood freaks.
I'm calling in sick...
The awards is all about queers and immoral people awarding immoral people, do they really think that they are fooling anyone?
"Man On Fire",I'll probably ck it out when it comes on cable."Capote"may be worthwhile if it's reasonably accurate.What a strange man.Anyways,I love a good war flick,but the pervasive anti-war/anti-US message tends to ruin the enjoyment.Hollyweird seems compelled/entitled to ram their philosophy down our throats.
Man on Fire isn't a war flick. It's a re-make of an action/adventure/thriller from a book by AJ Quinnell
I went to see Brokeback Mt yesterday.
If you put aside the story line is about 2 gay cowboys,and the story was about heterosexuals.. this is most definitely NOT a "great love story". It is about two people having a twenty year "affair". What was all the hype about? it is Not a "love story>"
The movie is depressing, boring and way too long. The main characters are unsympathetic, self-centered boring, whining guys. The women are portrayed as dumb and pathetic.
there is virtually no plot or character development.
If this wins an award..especially for directing or acting..it will be very undeserved ( from even a film perspective.) However, the Oscars have always been about political statements, not film.
I mistakenly thought the Academy Awards was last night. Now, I'll have to avoid watching the show again.
(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.")
Brokedick Mountain? Hollyweird libs wonder why they're so disconnected from reality? Fire up the buldozer and level the scummy place...Surely there are real directors and producer's coming up like Gibson, and Eastwood, in America that will honor their/our country.
Clint Eastwood made Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River, both of which won some kind of awards -- either Oscars or Golden Globes.
"Tension reached fever pitch as Hollywood began the final countdown to Sunday's Oscars, with a posse of "serious" films, led by "Brokeback Mountain," set to overrun the big night."
Laughing out loud here.... The only fever was on the screen when those two guys found each other on the prarie alone with their horses. I guess they could have chosen the horses over each other....that would have really gotten them into Oscar contention.
I plan on reading the book that came with my copy Of "The Great Raid" instead of watching this drivel.
