    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.

    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.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    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 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.

    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. >_>
