Some surprises, I guess Michael Moore's refusal to push farenheit 9/11 as a documentary and instead want it in the best picture category kinda didnt work out, no michael moore speech this year I guess.

Jamie Foxx not only gets the best actor nod but a supporting actor nomination for... collateral? where the fuck did that come from.

For all his praise Paul Giamatti gets snubbed for an acting nomination, yet darth vader kid got one... but ofcourse it was a tough choice between paul and jamie foxx for collateral!!!!

Passion of the christ got nothing except for a music score oscar.

Maybe this will finally be Scorsese's year.

Where the fuck did Million Dollar Baby come from and has anyone even seen a preview let alone the film?

Will Hillary Swank win a second oscar for playing a boy again?

I'm hoping Morgan Freeman finally gets a win, he more than deserves some recognition finally.

If Clint Eastwood wins back to back directing oscars and his 3rd overall, scorsese should just have him write and direct a movie for him.
