The Oscars - Best Picture

lizziebith · 03-02-2006, 12:20 PM

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...

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.
