Oscar Nominations

[innerSpaceman]

I've got to get me to 'Capote.'

And, I must see 'Howl's Moving Castle,' though I've zero desire to see 'Mrs. Henderson Presents.' Oh, and I've still got to see 'Walk the Line' someday.

Other than that, I'm pretty caught up on nominated films this time around. And so I will say that 'Good Night and Good Luck' is majorly over-rated. 'Munich' got what it deserved, because it has been majorly under-rated.

I adored 'Match Point,' and was surprised it only got one nom. Telling that it was for screenplay, because that's the core of any film's creation. I thought 'A History of Violence' was also under-served by the noms. But it also got a very pointed screenplay nom, and one for the brilliant supporting performance by William Hurt. It's one of my absolute favorite films of the year.

Much as I liked 'Crash,' I don't consider it anywhere in the same league with its fellow nominees (with the caveat that I haven't yet seen 'Capote.')


And I'm all homo smilie about Brokeback Mountain's slew of nominations. Huzzah.
