Actress: Theron
Supporting: who cares

and yours ??

what are the nominations?
(url would help)

Sure::

Full List of Nominations

Tranny?

This is not predictions really because I seriously doubt I will be right about one of them, but its how I would like it to go:

Actor in a leading role: Johnny Depp
Actor in supporting role: Tim Robbins
Actress in a leading role: Charlize Theron
Actress in a supporting role: Renee Zellwegger
Animated Feature Film: Finding Nemo
Best Picture: Lost in Translation
Directing: Lost in Translation
Visual Effects: Lord of the rings return of the king

rest I dont have an opinion on :)

Animated Feature Film is the easy one to predict LOL

Ok here is my list (keep in mind I haven't seen almost ALL of these films
I think I've seen a total of 3 films in the past year)


Best Actor:
Ben Kingsley (based on his acting ability and I know it WONT be johnny depp coz I DID see that film and it was too comedic to warrant a best actor role)

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE:
Djimon Hounsou - IN AMERICA (because the Oscars always go to artsy films movies noone watches)

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE:
whale rider (same reason)

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE:
Renée Zellweger - COLD MOUNTAIN (to the best of my knowdledge she's popular atm)

ANIMATED FEATURE FILM:
Finiding Nemo - no surprises there

ART DIRECTION:
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING ()bvious)

LOTR will also win every oscar it is nominated for EXCEPT for Music and makeup - makeup I believe will go to Pirates of the Carribean

pretty lame bunch of movies this year
no wonder I didnt see any of them
although I must admit I really enjoyed Pirates - even though I hate johnny depp and protested not to go see it - but it was the only film showing at the drive-in that week :1orglaugh

I hope to christ Murray wins for best actor. It'd be cool if Translation or Rings won for picture or directing, but I'm willing to bet Mystic River will get it.

I just rented "Lost in Translation", weird flick. but I liked it.
So, I would like to see Bill get best actor.
A side note: Scarlett Johansson is a fox and was great in it also.

Well here are my predictions :)

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Johnny Depp - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Ken Watanabe - THE LAST SAMURAI

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Naomi Watts - 21 GRAMS

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Renée Zellweger - COLD MOUNTAIN

Do you even understand what a film director does?

Just a thought:
Would you hit Sofia Coppala? (Nose and all)

Who I think will win:

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE

Bill Murray - LOST IN TRANSLATION



ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

Ken Watanabe - THE LAST SAMURAI (an upset)

Patricia Clarkson - PIECES OF APRIL (Renee denied yet again)

********************************


So I have THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING as the big winner, of 8 out of 11. The ratings will also be up this year due to the popularity of this movie. The ratings always increase when a huge box office grosser is nominated for a lot of awards.

So far I hit Tim Robbins look at me goooooo :thumbsup
