Jude Law is WASTED! His pupils are almost fully dilated.

[zoso82t]

I don't remember, but I would assume so.

[al baby]

Substance abuse problems.
His? hers? or yours ?

[NYC GOP Chick]

[Lil'freeper]

Uma's dress looks like someone ripped a bunch of fabric off the bolt, threw it over her shoulders and tied it at the waist.

And I can't believe ROTK wasn't nominated for Cinematography. :(

[Johnny_Cipher]

"We want to thank the academy for not nominating Lord of the Rings in this category."

LOL. At least it missed one award :)

[Houmatt]

No. The Passion should qualify for Best Picture.

[icwhatudo]

M and K wins another!!!(That ROTK wasn't in-LOL)

[don-o]

LOL!

Say hey didle. Is this fun or what?

I love putting folks knickers in a knot, I even had a newbie call me a troll.

[Hank Rearden]

Who is that? Pretty hot.

[DoughtyOne]

[mass55th]

"You a chick? "

In my younger days I would have been called a chick. Now I'm an old hen.

[xp38]

It could but there have been the odd non english spoken films in the best film category that have been nominated. Not sure if any won though.

[weegee]

LOTR was made in New Zealand with New Zealand Special Effects crews. It SHOULD have been elligible for a foreign film award. What was wrong? The financing?

[NYC GOP Chick]

Why on earth would you ask if the substance abuse problems were mine???

In fact, both of them had problems.

[John H K]

Either he naturally looks like that, or he may have a problem...

He's seemed a bit wasted on some late night talk shows I've seen him on.

He's talented, hope he doesn't flame out.

[nycgal]

I will seek out that "Triplets of Belleville" though - looks pretty cool).

It is. I enjoyed it so much I've even ordered the dvd.

[eddie willers]

Just kidding you of course.

It's strange how people's idea of beauty is different. I would'ni even ask the girl who plays in Alias (Gardener?) over for coffee. She does nothing for me.

But say... Anna Kournikova....YOWSER again!

[weegee]

I told that joke better...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

It appears that they will run the table tonight -- all 11. I thought the song was the category they were weakest in, and they won that.
