robert zemeckis directing THE CORRECTIONS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not since ron howard and THE DA VINCI CODE has a director been so wrong for a certain book. i see this adaptation to screen being like THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP (the sense of humor and sprawling nature of the story). in fact,...

as for leo dicaprio, i am not sure why people keep thinking he is going to split his vote. anthony hopkins had the same situation in 1993 with two powerful performances in REMAINS OF THE DAY and SHADOWLANDS. everyone was worried about him splitting his vote, but in the end they nominated him for th...

what is that in reference to?

also, did you mean august 2003 and january 2004 in regards to depp's PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN nomination?

You guys talk about Oscar Baity roles getting in but refuse to acknowledge Smith. If anything, he's the third constant for actor behind O'Toole and Whitaker. And I think he's got a better shot than Gosling at this point, though I think Gosling's a solid fourth. The person who's vulnerable here is L...

it seems many of you are strongly predicting LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA to be nominated for best picture, but no one else thinks ken watanabe is going to be nominated for lead actor. i know his name has not been thrown around much on the other oscar sites or such, but the film itself only recently enter...

after careful consideration, i have decided to post my first official predix. i have been keeping an archive of what my prediction list has looked like through out the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter). it is interesting to see how they evolved. best picture is still really ify. THE DEPARTED, ...

Why do I feel like the basic argument here is "my movie (which I haven't seen) is clearly superior to your movie (which I also haven't seen)"? rolo, you've got some wildly...shall we say, original...takes on Oscar history. Brooks not nominated for Broadcast News because he beat Bergman fo...

you don't know what you're talking about. You haven't seen 'Dreamgirls' and you should really just stop. Bill Condon is a fantastic director who in the past decade has written some of the meatiest parts that actors could hope for, and he is a very generous director in guiding them to where he needs...

And I don't think I can ever take the opinion of someone who illegally watches movies into account. No offense but it's the exact kind of thing that Hollywood's been fighting about for years. Would you walk into a bank and steal money? Would you rob a convenience store? Would you steal a car? If th...

As for being the Actors who award the prize, you're absolutely wrong. Sure the actors make up a wide portion of the membership, but combined, all of the other artists in the Academy top the actors in number. Let us also be clear that Condon will carry a large number of the writers and, since Dreamg...

like redford and costner before him bill condon will be known as the man that stole the oscar from scorsese. maybe he should talk to tomei about what it feels like to be ridiculed for having an award he does not deserve. maybe if you waited until you had actually seen Dreamgirls you might have had ...

That YouTube guy is so gonna get blasted by Warner Bros. rolo, I hope you're not the guy. no, no. i just watch movies, i do not upload them. i love youtube. i have watched "heavenly creatures," "an inconvenient truth," "the departed," "superman returns," and ...

Obviously I should give it a shot, then. All those reviews that said it was basically a filmed powerpoint presentation have to have been wrong. here is a link to the entire movie. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MwY4VU7zhsw i just watched it. it was pretty good. i am the biggest supporter of stopping gl...
