Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

don't forget Oscar's most recent avoidance of two-guys-together (pun very much intended): demoting Jake Gyllenhaal to supporting status simply because he would have almost certainly been left out of an overcrowded Best Actor field. It was probably also easier to place Gyllenhaal in supporting since...

Nik, what is Tom O'Neil's website these days? Is it that silly envelope thing? Got I could never bear looking at that site: Morons On Parade. Yup Damien that's the one! And in the moron parade you cited, Tom O Neil is the one twirling the flaming baton. (Sidenote: Damien, did you get my e-mail a wh...

So basically creepy. Thanks for the warning.

Sabin, I could be wrong but I seem to recall a number of people on this board who thought "The Sixth Sense" was far superior to any of the films nominated in 1999 (I am one of them and I think Damien is too). The Oscars had passed on truly wonderful films that fell within their scope like...

BTW, Tom O'Neil is now insisting in his silly column at The Envelope, that the Emmy nominations are a success and a triumph. He doesn't get the bashing they received and - once again - he's taking the position that all the naysayers are clueless and he's the only one who's seen the light. Wow. Coul...

LMAO re: Tom O Neil! Thanks for sharing that dws. This guy is so weird and really where the heck is he coming from on that Star Jones angle? An underdog with America on her side? Huh? Someone's been sniffing too much crazy glue. EVERYONE I know is laughing their asses off because the general consen...

Actually, the one I most liked in this new film was Jack Davenport, who finally got to have some fun. That's great to know. Now, I'm very much looking forward to see this this weekend even though I loathe Bloom & Knightley. I wished different actors were in their roles. Agreed. Although at leas...

None of my friends liked her in this. I can't understand your dislike of Depp in this performance. I think the hype over it may have colored your judgement because he was terrific in this first one. It was a completely original performance with depth and entertainment. There's a reason he got so mu...

HORRID. I actively disliked the first one and this one is no better or worse. Yeah yeah Depp is the best thing in it but really is that saying much? I was baffled that his entertaining but little else performance in the first film warranted such attention. And it's sad that after any number of fine...

I agree Magilla that no one can wipe their memories free of whatever they've seen this past television season and I'm sure on some level that affects who and what a voter will be drawn to. But I think it's easy to guess that people who work in television may not have a lot of time to sit around wat...

Arrrgh! I don't exactly like being called stupid. When over 60 million people vote for someone, you can't possibly say they are all stupid. It's not possible, or at least incredibly unlikely. Says who? This may shock you but I think a large number of Americans are incredibly stupid and/or at the ve...

What a horrid list! Seriously, WORST NOMINEES EVER. My god, I didn't think they could eff them up anymore than they always did but this is serious mother effing effing up! To like, the effing degree. I think this proves that the new process had its heart in the right place (and was probably the sma...

What do people think about The West Wing's chances? It's had a critically acclaimed "comeback" final season of sorts and supposedly the episode it submitted dealt with the election night and the death of John Spencer's character (read: powerful and emotional). I'd say it has a great chanc...
