The Oscars - Best Picture
 

So, which film will be chosen as Best Picture on Sunday?

'Brokeback Mountain'
'Capote'
'Crash'
'Good Night and Good Luck'
'Munich'

:confused:

Since local newscasts have already started going on about the supposed disconnect between Hollywood and middle America (without defining either of those two) by using BBM as an example, I'm betting it's a total shoe-in (or is that shoo-in). Honestly, sometimes they complain about Hollywood blockbusters and how it's all about trash, and now we have a lot of quality up for awards so now Hollywood is all about being out of touch. BBM aside (homophobics obviously condemn it without seeing it), what's out of touch about Munich or GNAGL? Anyway. (wipes froth from monitor). I think Brokeback is going to get it and that the attacks are just warming up...:rolleyes:

Of all of them, I liked BBM the most. I also enjoyed GNAGL. I hope BBM gets it, but I have a sinking feeling that lots of people in Hollywood are rallying around 'Crash'.

I can't wait for Sunday!
:)

I liked Capote best but Brokeback Mountain will win.

Except for Good Luck, and Good Night to some degree, the Academy did pretty well in picking a slate where I wouldn't have a problem with any of them winning. I can think of other worthy films, but can't complain about these.

I believe Altman is getting an Honorary Oscar this year (always a bridesmaid he's been) so that could help "Crash" since that was so Altman-derivative. Which would steam me to no end. Really "Crash" was done by Altman years ago..."Short Cuts." And better better BETTER that was. :mad:

I liked 'Short Cuts' but it was neither short nor did he cut anything from that film. It was mega-long. :D
I enjoy Altman. I liked 'Gosford Park' a lot. (But I love me my British actors.)

I wished GNAGL came out a year later or earlier, it's a fine film.

Being that I think Brokeback is the most deserving nominee, the award will likely go to Crash. (I rarely agree with the Academy's best pic choice).


I still voted for Brokeback in this poll, and in every other I'm participating in.

I'm generally wrong, but I voted for Capote. I think they'll pull the same wussy move they do so often and give the director award to the leading-but-controversial movie and then go with Capote for best picture because hey, how can that be an anti-gay statement?

The spoiler in this theory is Good Night and Good Luck, but I don't think it will be a contender for director (my bet is that he gets original screenplay) and I think it's too quirky (that b&w! It's scary!) to really stand a chance at BP, unless Hollywood gets all send-a-message-y.

Of course, I haven't seen a single one of these films.

I liked Capote best, but I think the Oscar will go to BBM. I think the Crash buzz won't amount to much. (Hope.)

I picked Capote, but I think the award's gonna go to BBM...
