I see that. Cool (I didn't actually see BBII, I was just using that as an example). You just called me out on the wrong thing earlier.

I'm not even so sure POTC is really any better than BB2. If you're the kind of person that likes to watch digital effects and shit blow up, they both deliver the goods. If anything, Ron Shelton's dialogue was better than the stuff in Pirates. I mean, hell, they both sucked, but if you had to pick one over the other on merits of being well made....

Look past Depp's performance, and there was no way I could have sat through that crap.

when exactly is the ceremony airing so i can maybe try and catch it on cable over here ?

actually, the will smith part was the latter of the two

I meant for calling me out b/c you thought...that I thought the movie itself was nominated.

but you were talking about the movie being nothing but a summer blockbuster. That has no baring on the performance. The movie could be a shitty January leftover movie and if the performance is good enough for a nomination then it's good enough for a nomination.

"It was just a summer blockbuster, no more, no less" was just my opinion on the movie. That didn't have anything to do with Depp's performance, I just threw that in there. I did say "what was so special about Depp" which was talking about his performance. Sorry for the confusion on that part. I just didn't see anything tremendous about Depp in that film and I think Dr. K has already answered why the nomination was given.

Although that might not be why. There were talks of him getting the Dark Horse nomination back when the movie came out.

It doesn't matter anyways, we all know Bill Murray will get the win

how about next we talk about what DIDN'T get nominated for hardly anything. Namely Big Fish. No Man of the Hour nomination? WTF?!

I can see it as the "dark horse" thing too. I really expect Murray to win anyway.

Edit: And Sam the Egg does too.
