Question on <i>Brokeback Mountain</i> (I haven't seen it):
Is the movie itself that great or is it getting a lot of hype and praise because of its controversial plot?

Haven't seen it myself, but that fuzzy-haired critic Gene Shallot didn't think that the story was all that interesting and said that if it weren't for the subject matter he doesn't think that anyone would care about it.

I have not seen brokeback but I don't think it will win. I am hoping Crash will win.

Crash or Brokenback Mountain for me. Howl’s Moving Castle should get best animated film.

I have seen Brokeback Mountain. It's simply stunning. Great acting, moving storyline, lovely cinematography. It deserves to win the lot. It won't, but it should at least get Best Movie, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. It's between Ledger and Hoffman for Best Actor. I want Felicity Huffman to get Best Actress, but it'll go to Reese Witherspoon. And there is no way Rachel Weisz can fail to win Best Supporting Actress.

Brokeback Mountain really is a wonder in cinematography. Ang Lee's ability as a director to reflect thematic elements of the screenplay and translate that into his location, background and his shots is amazing.

Its a great movie, You have to watch it.
I hope it wins alot of Awards.....

Uhhhg. These nominations are so boring and predictable it makes my face hurt.

I'm extremely disappointed that King Kong was virtually shut out from everything but the technical categories. Way to be boring and safe, AMPAS.

The film is magnificent. I can honestly say that the acting in that film is some of the best I've ever seen in my life, and the quiet beauty and tragedy of the film is phenomenal.

As far as King Kong goes, I didn't really feel any stellar acting roles or good screenwriting was present. Bringing extremely large monsters to life is what gave the movie its fame in the first place, and that is a technical venture, is it not?

Since King Kong was more critically acclaimed (http://www.criticstop10.net/2005/index.htm) than Munich, I was really hoping that it would sneak in and take that 5th Best Picture spot.

I thought Naomi Watts gave an amazing performance as Ann Darrow, worthy of an Oscar nomination. And I thought the film itself was better than both Munich and Crash (although I'm really happy that Crash got a nod).

The cream of the crop critics said Munich was better though.

Miriel
01-31-2006, 09:08 PM
Yeah, but King Kong is still at #5 either way.

It bothers me that during all the Oscar frenzy before the nominations came in, one of the best movies of the year wasn't even being considered for the Best picture nod. I mean, how does that work? People were talking about Walk the Line more than they were King Kong. >_>

This is the second straight year that I have not had any desire to see any of the movies nominated for best picture.

It depresses me greatly that The New World wasn't nominated for Best Picture. SO I just don't care, cause the only other one I've seen is Crash. And that was superb, definitley, but I don't think it'll win.

Sigh.

RSL
02-01-2006, 02:21 AM
Wow, I haven't seen many of those films. I did see Crash and thought it was great, but all this Brokeback Moutain hype leads me to believe that it will win. There never seems to be any suprise best picture winner. At least Ang Lee can get the oscar that he was robbed out of for Crouching Tiger. (Gladiator? What the hell?!)

As usual, the Acadamy Awards come around before I get a chance to see any of the movies. The only ones nominated for anything that I've seen are Harry Potter, War of the Worlds and March of the Penguins so the only reason I watch this is to see what everyone is wearing.

I'm guessing that Brokeback Mountain will win. The Oscars have shown time and again that they don't judge movies based on quality, and I doubt that will change anytime soon.

Miriel
02-01-2006, 03:19 AM
The AMPAS have shown time and time again, that they like to stay on the straight and narrow path. They've shown that they like a specific genres of movies and movies that play to certain demographics.

But to say that the Academy doesn't recognize quality is absolute BS. Seriously, absolute BS.

Crash or Brokenback Mountain for me. Howl’s Moving Castle should get best animated film.

Yes, if Miyazaky doesn't win it's because he is not from US..

George Lucas and Revenge of the Syth got seriously snubbed, BTW

Your an idiot. Spirit Away won when it was up for the nomination so if he doesn't win this year it probably isn't because he isn't American but because they felt there was a better animated movie.

Don't harbor such racist thoughts!:choc2:

That said I hated Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and was glad it lost to Gladiator which I loved.

Didn't that come out only recently?

Like most movies wanting to qualify for the Oscars, The New World had a limited release just before the cut-off date in December but only just recently went into wide release.
