Oscar - Care?

[IkeaBoy]

I thought I posted the nominations here when I posted on the other sites...anyhoo

BEST PICTURE- Have to pick LotR. Haven't seen mind. HATED Park, didn't see bedroom or rogue though there were better films to pick like Tenenbaums
ACTOR- I don't see Gene Hackman who won the Golden Globe. Where's Hackman? WHERE'S ROYAL?! Unimpressed with all those people, I can expect a Crowe win. I Am Sam didn't even get good reviews as all the reviews called it Oscar bait for Penn.

SUPPORING ACTOR- I haven't seen Sexy Beast yet but heard it was great. From what I have seen McKellan because he's just a genuinely cool actor who deserves it. Also deserving but not nominated- STEVE BUSCEMI FROM GHOST WORLD (though I'm not sure if that's lead)

ACTRESS- Didn't see any but Nicole Kidman because she's one of the hottest women ever, one of my first 'hottest women ever' and she deserved it for TDF.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS- Jennifer Connelly because she's really hot.

DIRECTING- MULHOLLAND DRIVE is my favorite movie of the year, i'm a lynch fan, it deserved more.

CINEMATOGRAPHY- THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE wonderfully filmed, wonderful film and it deserved more.

ANIMATED FEATURE FILM- lame nominees in a year of so many animated features.

WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY)- GHOST WORLD (yes it's out on video. it's a brilliant film, SEE IT!!).

WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY)- I'm debating between MEMENTO and TENENBAUMS and probably going to choose Tenenbaums over Memento but it's a moot point since Gosford Park will win to show that the acadamy can understand britishness and sophistication
