Look out for I Heart Huckabee's, Silver City and Sideways later this fall.
Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Passion will both get some nods, although not necessarily Best Picture. Michael Moore's film will get nods simply because it was bold enough to rake a sitting president over the coals. Colin Farrell was absolutely amazing in A Home At the End of the World, and he may get that nomination over Alexander. Bryce Dallas Howard, let's face it. She is as close to a shoe-in as it can get. 1. Because she did a great job in her first feature. 2. Opie |

"Howl's Moving Castle" will be a shoe-in for animation.
|
C'mon Spider-Man 2!
|
I have been reading in some places and its all saying The Passion of Christ is a shoe in for Best Picture.
it was a risk and it outperformed the estimates..... a cinematic achievement |

It is still early but I would go with Passion to win Best Picture. I think the Academy is really going to suprise us just as they did last year with ROTK.
|
ROTK was a surprise? People were calling that one back in 2001!

Nobody has mentioned yet, but I actually think the Robert Zemekis and Tom Hanks film The Polar Express has Best Picture potential. If reviews are strong and becomes a hit, and I think it has the possibility of being one of the more memorable pictures to come out this year.

it will be a shame that best original screenplay will probably pit two of the better movies against each other --"eternal sunshine .." and "garden state".

I'm not buying in the least the Passion Of The Christ won't be nominated. I'm actually going to be moderately suprised if it doesn't win a sackful of statues.
|
I have no problem with Eternal Sunshine winning Best Original Screenplay as long as Natalie Portman wins for her performance in Garden State. :)
|
I also think Passion will get plenty of nominations. And Gibson with a good chance at getting best director.
And Hero didn't win Foreign Picture before because Miramax didn't have any screenings for it or supply any screening material (or so I'm told). So chances are it couldn't get any votes anyway. |
Antisemitism or other hate speach will NOT be tolerated Anyways, We'll see the majority of the Oscar nominations coming from films in November and December. I agree that Aviator looks to be another Scorsese attempt at grabbing an Oscar. It's just so obvious - and GONY was a poor film, especially for Scorsese. Hopefully The Motorcycle Diaries is a quality film (regardless of what the Academy thinks of it) - I'm seeing it at the Toronto Film Festival on Tuesday. Can't wait. |

Isn't this the year Bill Murray's supposed to get his make-up-for-getting-shafted-last-year award?
|
If "Garden State" wins for best screenplay, I'll eat my hat.
|
Can Hero even be up for Best Picture? It was a nominee at the 2003 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film and didn't win. The year Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was up for Best Picture, it won the Best Foreign Film award. Anyone know if Hero can even be up for Best Picture? 3. Films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award shall not be eligible for Academy Award consideration in any category in any subsequent awards year. Submitted films not selected as nominees are eligible for Academy Award consideration in other categories in the subsequent year, provided the film has its Los Angeles opening in that subsequent calendar year. |
Originally posted by Defiant1 Hero is not eligible for the Oscars this year. According to the official website: It's unfortunate (and apparently a rule change from the 1970s) as Hero will be the prettiest movie to never win the Cinematography Oscar. |

I have gone to see many movies this year, but there have been only a few that I have enjoyed: Spiderman, Hero and Passion have been my favorites. There is only 3 or 4 movies I want to see by the end of the year. If the Academy Award show want great ratings this year, they should Nominate both Passion and F 911 for best picture. It would create alot of buzz and interest. |
