Oscar nominations...
Just wondering if everyone checked out the nominations and what they thought? I thought they were pretty fair with a few exceptions. I really think that Sasha Baron Cohen deserved a best actor nod for Borat. That was the best individual performance that I've seen all year. Unfortunately comedic actors almost always get overlooked even though comedy is the hardest genre to master as an actor. I'm also glad that Dreamgirls didn't get a nod for best picture. I'm tired of these namby-pamby musicals getting all sorts of critical acclaim. I hate them.

You hate them, so they're not Oscar worthy? Good one.


The nominations seem reasonable. I'm glad to see The Departed and Pan's Labyrinth up for a bunch.

It's my opinion. Pan's Labrynth didn't get a best picture nod, huh? Do you think it was deserving? I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I really like "Little Miss Sunshine", but I must say that I was VERY surprised that it was nominated for best picture.

When was the last time that a horror film was nominated for Best Picture? Does anyone know? Also, can you think of any that you thought would have been deserving of a Best Picture nomination?

Silence of the Lambs won Best Picture in 1991. I think that was the last occurance.

That was the only one that I could think of. I forgot that it actually won, but I don't really consider that horror in the traditional sense.

I consider Silence of the Lambs a thriller.


Best picture.
Best actor- Anthony Hopkins
Best actress- Jodie Foster
Best director- Jonathan Demme
Best screenplay? I'm not 100% sure if it won this.I think it did.:)
