    Argh.

    Two huge snubs, IMO. Hugh Grant and About Schmidt. Of course, I'd have loved to see About a Boy nominated, but wasn't expecting it. I'm really starting to believe that The Hours might be the most overrated movie in a long time.

    I've never seen The Hours. It's certainly getting a lot of hype.

    Very uninspirational list. Too much stuff that pisses me off to go into now. Chicago? Jeez...it was good and all but come on!

    I hope Daniel Day-Lewis wins best actor. Other than that I don't care what happens.

    I find it somewhat surprising that Peter Jackson didn't receive a nom for Best Director.

    You're too nice. The Hours (or The Two Hours Of My Life I Want Back, as I like to call it) has no business being nominated for anything!!! ...except possibly Nicole Kidman. I just don't see how they can nominate the director of this movie over a guy who has created one of the most ambitious movies of all time.

    Anyways...my predictions and worthless opinions.

    Best Picture
    What will win: Chicago
    What should win: Two Towers or Pianist
    What was snubbed: About Schmidt

    ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
    Who will win: Jack
    Who should win: Jack

    ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
    Will and should win: Chris Cooper

    ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
    Will and should win: Renée Zellweger

    ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
    Will and should win: Catherine Zeta-Jones

    CINEMATOGRAPHY
    Confessions of a Dangerous Mind should win if it had been nominated

    DIRECTING
    Will win: Chicago
    Should win: Pianist
    Should have won if nominated: Peter Jackson

    WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY)
    Should win: Far From Heaven

    WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY)
    Should win: Adaptation (just because there has to be some irony in there somewhere)

    Heh, you wanna know how biased I am? I thought she should have won for Nurse Betty.

    Chicago will clean up.

    I hope Adrien Brody wins Best Actor for "The Pianist". That was an awesome film, and he was fantastic.

    Did you see the movie? Zelwegger was clearly the lead.

    I'm just glad that My Big Fat Greek Wedding didn't get the multiple nominations many were predicting.

    maybe....but the golden globes didn't think it was all that clear apparently.....i guess the powers that be of the academy awards took note of the look of disgust on CZJ's grill when she didn't win, and i guess they don't want the poor little princess to get her feelings hurt again.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    That doesn't make any sense since she won't be the favorite to win it.

    Sounds like you've got something against her anyway.

    Looking at this list, you'd think there were only 8 movies that got released in the last year.
