What do you think?

It'd be nice if Bill Murray won this year; I think LOTR will win because of the overall trilogy, and Jackson will get best director. I'm surprised Cruise didn't get a nomination; I thought for sure this was the year they'd make up for screwing him in past years (Rain Man and Magnolia).

Should be interesting, I'll add more later.

I hope hope hope that LOTR gets best picture, but I don't really care if Peter Jackson gets best director.
I'm all about Johnny Depp for best actor, but you know he won't get it. Those Oscar people just don't like comedies.

Other than that, the nominations just made me realize how many movies I need to see -- I really want to see Lost in Translation and Last Samurai, but I haven't yet.

This is the first time where I've seen most of the movies nominated.

LOTR for all its nominations!!!

Bill Murray was amazing in Lost in Translation, and a sentimental favorite. He should have won something for Caddyshack, so I think that they'll make it up to him and give hime an Oscar.

Best Supporting Actor to Tim Robbins. He was the only actor in Mystic River that made me forget that he was a famous face. He became his character.

I only saw 1 of the movies with Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, so I have no idea who deserves it.

For the first time ever, I have not seen ONE of the movies nominated for best picture. Must get out of the house.

Am I the only person who isn't disappointed that Nicole Kidman wasn't nominated? Seriously folks, I didn't see the movie, but from the previews I saw, her accent was atrocious.

I'm cheering for Bill Murray, but if not him, then Johnny Depp.

I have only seen "Seabicuit", and that was on an airplane!

I never saw "Seabicuit," but I did see "Seabiscuit." It was good, but I'll be surprised if it wins.

Neither can I, but thanks to http://webster.com , I pretend that I can. Also, I had to look up Seabiscuit to make sure that I had it right, before I poked fun at you.

I was surprised by some of the nominations. I thought Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman would get nominations for sure. And it sucks that Cold Mountain and its director didn't get nominated. I only saw one of the best picture nominees, Mystic River. I think LOTR will win. Either Sean Penn or Bill Murray will get best actor. Where did Johnny Depp come from? Charlize Theron will probably get best actress. It's crazy that a 13 yr old girl and Diane Keaton are in the same category. And I want Renee Zellweger/Tim Robbins to get best supporting actress/actor.

He'll win it because it'll be a "career" award thingy. Oscar is such a joke anyway. Johnny Depp will win it in 10 years.

Renee Zellweger was nominated for best supporting; I believe she's actually the favorite to win.

It'll be tough this year because both Murray and Depp could win on the career basis; Depp could have merited more consideration for "Ed Wood," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," while Murray could have for "Rushmore," "Caddyshack" and "Groundhog Day." While Murray is the favorite, I could see them very well giving it to Depp (or Sean Penn for that matter). This is the first year in a while that there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming favorite (although not many people gave Adrien Brody a chance last year).

LOTR has to win for best picture and best direction or else nerds all around the world will revolt.

(J/K, I love LOTR, too.

I'm not disappointed either though I haven't seen the movie.

I'm rooting for-
Lord of the Rings for Best Picture, Peter Jackson for Best Direction, Charlize Theron for Best Actress, and Tim Robbins for Best Supporting Actor. I really didn't think Marcia Gay Harden was amazing in the role.
