I have to say that I'm a little shocked that Star Wars didn't pick up more nods. I figured that it would at least get nominated for the technical awards (since the previous 5 episodes got nods for those).
I'm just so surprised that they just got a nod for makeup. I really expected sound effects, sound effects editing, etc...
But the academy award nominations tend to shock me every year. Usually they nominate someone or something where I'm thinking "WTF?"
Was Reese even nominated?

Every year, I get a little worse at picking the nominees and winners. I think the last time I picked a sure-fire winner was American Beauty and Sam Mendes.

For the first time in years, I have not seen ANY of the best picture nominees!

I haven't seen any of them either. I think I'm going to see Brokeback Mountain next week though...
I miss working at a movie theater.

I saw Brokeback and Capote; thought Hoffman was great in Capote (as was Keener), and thought Brokeback was overrated.

Brokeback Mountain will probably sweep.
It's been interesting to hear some of the various movie people. One (I couldn't see who, just heard his voice) said that if Brokeback Mountain wasn't about two men, it wouldn't have been looked at twice. On Letterman, James Woods refused comment about Brokeback Mountain, rolling his eyes and saying, "I still want some work in this town."
So... it's safe to say that Hollywood has yet again made up their mind by what they want, not necessarily what middle America wants. I doubt that I'll bother watching.

I agree with all of these except I think Paul Giamatti will get Best Supporting Actor.
The comment about BM not being looked at twice if it was a man and a women....well duh. Of course it wouldn't, that's the whole point. There wouldn't be a story/conflict/obstacle if it wasn't two men.....

But here's the thing--the Oscars are about Hollywood celebrating itself....so it will ALWAYS be what Hollywood wants. The People's Choice are about what middle America wants. Oscars are Industry peeps celebrating themselves.
Crash could upset Brokeback for best picture largely because people in LA LOVED CRASH and most of the voters are in LA.

As great of a movie as Crash was I think Brokeback will win simply because it was about two gay guys.....regardless of the fact that the movie, from what I heard, blew ass.
