OSCAR Predictions - Despite the fact that I will Still Boycott!
opinionista:
Have you noticed that in this year's edition of the Oscars, half the nominees are not americans? (I mean the Best director, best actor, actress, supporting actor, actress nominees only). Also, five are black (4 african americans and 1 african); three are hispanics and one is asian. Hollywood is definitely changing. They sure don't want to be considered racists though they sure are homophobics!

Homophobes? The AMPAS? Surely you jest! They're *so* not homophobes! They've gotten Ellen DeGeneres to host this year's show and everything, to prove that very point, so there. Annie Proulx *really* had no clue in that piece she wrote last year.
I'm sure that's their story and they're gonna stick to it........ no matter our opinion as based on overwhelming evidence. ::) ::) ::)
Meryl:
Very good point, Mika! I hadn't put that together. :-\

Actually, I can't believe that LMS got a BP nom, or The Queen for that matter, considering all the interesting films that came out last year:
Blood Diamond easily beats both of those films. Leo's nom is well deserved i think, but the film should have been nominated as well.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer , that film was just sublime. Ben Whishaw should have been nominated for Best actor. Of course i know why it's ignored, it was so badly marketed. that most people haven't even heard of the film .
Children of Men should have been more of a a contender. For one thing, it's the first time I've actually felt like I was part of the action on screen. It was both troubling and strangely thrilling.
The Fountain, say what you will, it was a very affecting film and Wolverine's performance was outstanding.
Little Children deserved more attention too.

Personally, I liked The Prestige, alot, and would have like to seen it nominated for more than cinematography and art direction. I thought Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine were great, and David Bowie was very good. And the costumes were good too. Oh well...
