I'm predicting Gangs of New York will grab the best picture nomination. Jack Nicholson best actor for About Schmidt. Nicole Kidman best actress for The hours and Lilo and Stitch will the best animated film.
sure hope Spiderman doesn't get the 'Visual Effects' .. it was the crappiest more unrealistic CGI i had ever seen
I agree with you on the CGI thing PA!
GRRRRRRRRRRRR I'm sooooo mad. How the hell does LOTR not have nominations in categories like best actor (aragorn - hello!!!) and soundtrack?????
current mood: ticked off
Maybe its the Punjabi factor PCG.. Maybe Punjabis are also dominating the Oscars too!
Gangs of NY all the way!!
Oscar trivia:
Meryl Streep is a record-breaker. Her nomination in the supporting-actress category for Adaptation— the 13th of her career — tops Katharine Hepburn's record of 12.
Julianne Moore is up for best actress for Far From Heaven and supporting actress for The Hours; no one has won two acting Oscars in the same year.
Jack Nicholson's 12th nomination, for About Schmidt, solidifies him as most nominated actor; Laurence Olivier had 10.
Eminem's Lose Yourself, from the 8 Mile soundtrack, is the first rap song nominated for an Academy Award. He'll compete with other first-time Oscar nominees U2 (The Hands That Built America from Gangs of New York) and Paul Simon (Father and Daughter from The Wild Thornberrys Movie). Another rap tidbit: This year's only black acting nominee, Queen Latifah (Chicago), began as a hip-hop star.
Best-animated-film nominee Spirited Away is the first Japanese animation, or animé film to receive an Oscar nod.
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the third sequel to be nominated. The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III were the others.
Donald Kaufman, the imaginary brother of Adaptation screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, earned a nomination.
Road to Perdition cinematographer Conrad Hall is the first posthumous nominee since 1995. Hall died Jan. 4 of bladder cancer.
John Williams' best-score nomination for Catch Me If You Can is his 42nd, one shy of the lifetime record by composer Alfred Newman.
Last year's top-grossing movie, Spider-Man, earned nominations for sound and visual effects.
Because of a possible war with Iraq, Oscar organizers say they will double this year's security budget for the ceremony. If war does break out, the show will go on.
I hope The Lord Of Rings get the award for "Art Direction" and "Visual Effects".
gangs of new york
all the way.
fine film
Ya i cant believe spiderboy made the nomination for visual effects....they were very cheaply rendered and lacked imagination..while on the other hand star wars had much more realistically done visuals.
'Gangs of New York' and 'The Hours' should dominate most of the proceedings.
PyariCgudia, the actor playing Arragon prolly did a good job in LOTR:TTT, but he doesn't even remotely compare with such heavyweights as Michael Caine, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Jack Nicholson. As for soundtrack, maybe you should scroll back up again.
These are the Oscars, not the Viewer choice awards.
