WHAT THE HELL - No Tom Cruise nomination?

Charlize Theron(best actress) - Sean Penn(best actor) - Renee Zellweger(best supporting actress) - Tim Robbins(best supporting actor) - and it could be nail-bitting tie between Peter Jackon and Clint Eastwood for best director award.

i vote for Clint Eastwood for Mystic River - frankly i m bored of the rings.

omgg…No Tom Cruise? :eek:

not that I am a big fan but this time he deserves atleast a nomination :hoonh:

4

what...no nomination for Nicole Kidman.. Youm ust be kidding.

5

Cruise and kidman were both nominated. I'm sure they were. I heard it myself and I wasn't drunk.

6

^ Golden Globes, yes. Oscars, not really.

There are a few surprises, definitely. Other than Cruise, I thought Connely and Kingsley had bagged it in "House of Sand and Fog". One made it, one didn't.

7

Ohhhhh ok. Academys!

The biggest miss for me is ofcourse Cruise’s nomination, he was awesome in The Last samurai. Ben kinglsey was awesome in that movie but atleast he shouldnt have been nominated ahead of Tom :smack:
