Guest swirlundergrounder Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I bet you Million Dollar Bay sweeps all the categories it's nominated in. The Oscars are the film industries popularity contest and Clint Eastwood is one of it's favorites. His films always do well come oscar time......

Guest JMT Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 usually the move that gets the most nods cleans up overall. im a fan of clint so i hope he wins a few, but scorsese is no lightweight. "aviator" is about howard hughes, who was involved in the hollywood golden age, it will win the most, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LdySphynx Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 No way, screw Leo......Jamie Foxx deserves that award!!!I'm also surprised that The Passion did not make it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 No way, screw Leo......Jamie Foxx deserves that award!!!I'm also surprised that The Passion did not make it .The Passion not making it only proves that the Oscars are a bunch of crap...The Passion is the largest grossing indie film in history and 911 was the most profitable documentary in history..... Some of those films that were nominated have not even been released in theatres yet...One being Million Dollar Baby....Oscars=Bullshit........!!!!!

Guest JMT Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 fyi, Million Dolla holla Baby has been in theaters for weeks.i think the voters decided they would eliminate the politics from the awards and left both passion and 9/11 out to be equal.

Guest klit Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Best movie: All are great but I'd go with million dollar babyBest Actor: Give it to don cheadle for rwanda, though the best performance was surprisingly from leo.Best Actress:Hillary though would be cool to see kate or the girl from maria win it. The whole bunch played great.Supporting actor/actress: the closer crew (clive and nathalie)Director:Martin Scorcese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
