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

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.Quote:

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?Quote:
