Jack, he's talking about "Master and Commander" here

I'm not saying he was good, but I know there were better performances out there, such as Paul Giamatti in American Splendor. Also, why should he get the nod simply because he has been overlooked in the past. I know it probably happens, but that's not right. Focus on the actor's present work.

Don't make me go on my long rant against Harvey Weinstein.

Oh, that piece of garbage shouldn't be on the list..

Could have summed the film in a 30 minutes...

Well for the sake of arguement, atleast it wasn't for Once Upon a Time in mexico.. woah, what a train wreck!

Though I will give him credit, he did a great acting job on pirates. kept me entertained and really acted as his usual finest. His role in it was the main reason why I enjoyed it so much and had to eat crow on all my trash talking I did on the film when it was still in production.

LOL!!

Seriously, you don't really feel that way about "M&C"....do you?

two thoughts for me:

1. no cinematography nomination for LOTR. kinda weird.
2. glad to see that seabiscuit got a best picture nomination.

Amazed at the extremely large overlooking of "Big Fish." Would have expected at least one actor and adaptation nom.

Most happy about "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" from A Mighty Wind. Besides the fact that I truly love the song....besides the fact that it would kill to see Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara perform it live at the Oscars...I'm just dying to see Lana Lang and David St. Hubbins claim an Oscar.

Wouldn't they be the first married couple (outside of some shorts and documentary awards) to win a joint Oscar??

BTW, also cool to see the Coward Brothers nominated.

When I watched the noms this morning I was really suprised.

Keisha Castle-Hughes, City of God, and the like of those really small films get nods really felt good. I was so tired of seeing the predictable ones every year.

Although I am disappointed that Scarlett Johannson was not nominated.

to A Mighty Wind song nod.

beat me to it! i was really surprised big fish was practically overlooked, it was very well done/acted, magical and original (well, adapted but you know what i mean...)

also surprised about so many for M&C, guess i'll have to put aside my distaste for russel crowe and watch this.

very surprised about cold mountain. everything/one was naming this as the only competition for ROTK for the osacr and then it doesn't even make the cut?!?! very surprised!

Mystic River.......go go go

I really was disappointed that Seabiscuit got the Best Picture nomination and 6 others. I thought it was one of the worst movies of 2003. Equally disappoint was that the girl from Whale Rider got best actress nomination. The acting was ok, but I thought there were others more deserving of the award.

Yeah, ya think???

Surprised me to see Depp with his best actor nod. Huge surprise actually. He sure was better in Fear and Loathing IMO. Still, the guy is the man, and it'll be rad to see him there.

ROTK is gonna clean house, with best picture and best director. Sucks, 'cause Coppola was a shoe-in for both if it wasn't for Peter Jackson and company.

I am actually happy Depp got nominated for Pirates. The Academy usually overlooks comedy so thankfully they finally removed the stick from up their butts. Granted, I would rather have him nominated/win for something else but what can you do.

Very disappointed that none of the actors from ROTK were nominated. Guess the sci-fi fantasy curse is still hanging in there. I had my fingers crossed that Astin would get a supporting actor nod but that wasn't meant to be either.

I'm with kevin75 on one point: no cinematography nod for ROTK? What's up with that?

You should. It's not a "Russell Crowe" film. It's a Peter Weir film. He did a beautiful job directing it. The cinematography, art direction, sound, visuals. All fantastic. I'm no fan of Russell Crowe either btw.

NEMO NEMO NEMO!!

The critics liked it a lot. It has a 79% on Rottentomatoes, which by the way is higher than Cold Mountain got (75%).

There must be something wrong with that list, as I saw it at my local art-house theater (South Coast Village) in December of 2002.

It was nominated for Visual Effects. In RotK's case I would say that it is practically the same thing.

Happy as can be for ROTK, not that it was surprising (except for a couple it didn't get).

My biggest disappointment: Peter Sarsgaard was not nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Shattered Glass. I'd also liked to have seen Sean Astin in there.

Too bad Kill Bill was ignored.

your kidding me..... you thought i was talking about LOTR...... lol



Mystic River.


Amazed Big Fish didnt even get looked at.....

Wow

So..is M&C still in theaters anywhere? (Only one here in Phoenix.) I skipped it and now wanna see it. Any word on a "reissue?" (I'd hate ta see it at a discount theater!)

ok how can i make you go on....... come on tell me...

Could it have been part of the AFI festival? Don't they show some of their movies at other local theaters?
