2nd best boxing scenes ever. Nothing could live up to the ones in Raging Bull, but these were damn good. Swank completely negated The Core, Eastwood continues his Awesome streak (which has been going for a good 40 years, not counting Paint Your Wagon), as does Morgan Freeman. It's damn close between this and Aviator, but the direction in Aviator edges it out.

you didn't think Swank did a good job?


So am I a bitch for crying in the last 35 minutes lol, or did you think it was a bit rough also?

[The STE]

no, I'm saying she did a shit job in The Core, and the awsm job she did in MDB negates that.


Within reason, I don't think crying during a movie is bad or whatever. I mean, crying when Sandler's dad comes around in the court scene in Big Daddy, sure, but I doubt that's ever happened.
But yeah, MDB was a bit rough. It's no fucking Requiem for a Dream (I had to take my contacts out:( ), but rough nonetheless.




And I was praying, PRAYING, that that wirey redneck fuck in the cowboy hat would piss Eastwood off. The whole scene I was like "yeah, say one more thing to him, go on", and hoping he'd knock him the fuck out.

oh ok I get it, I think she's the easy choice for Best actress, that's the only category that I think there's no real competition everything else seems like Aviator and Million Dollar Baby are neck and neck.

Yeah, this will be an interesting show for once. Most of the important categories are fairly close, the host should be entertaining, or at least interesting, and there's a mostly good crop for Best Picture for once. Replace Ray and Finding Neverland with The Machinist and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and it'd be perfect (I'm not counting Shaun of the Dead)

I was ticked off last year, Bill Murray gets screwed, Peter Jackson gets a very undeserved sweep, after about the third award LOTR got I almost turned it off. I know alot of people like 'em but I just don't think they're all they're cracked up to be.

this might be the first time in awhile that I don't know who's going to win. If I had to guess I'd say....

Picture- Aviator
Director- Clint Eastwood
Screenplay- (original) Aviator, (adapted) Million Dollar Baby
Actor- Jamie Foxx
Actress- Hilary Swank

I know they're pretty generic and expected but that's just what I think is going to happen although it would be nice to see Eternal Sunshine pick up the screenplay oscar.

as for Finding Neverland I think it's a real credit to Johnny Depp how he single handedly made that movie as good as it is just like he did with Pirates of the Carribean. If Charlie and the Chocolate Factory does what it's being built up to do it should be a third str8 nomination next year, also Pirates 2 comes out either late this year or next year can't remember and if that does well then I think you put Depp up there with Denzel,Hanks,Spacey ect.

[The STE]

YES! YES! FUCKING A! Eternal Sunshine gets Screenplay!

[BH14]

I havent seen any of these movies... WHat movies do you all suggest??

[The STE]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

[AUSTIN316426808]

Million Dollar Baby owned The Aviator as it should've.


And just like all of Jim Carrey's movies the Writing was noticed but what he did with the writing wasn't sure he would've lost to Jamie anyway but still a nomination every now and then would be nice.


Overall I think the show was cool, except for Sean Penn making his little comment, it was a joke lighten the hell up.

[The STE]

that's what I said
