I've been on an iTunes downloading frenzy for the past couple days. Has anyone heard Alicia Keys' unplugged version of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" featuring Adam Levine? Wow. It's freakin' gorgeous. She has an incredible voice. Also recommend Roy Buchanan's melancholy yet hopeful gu...

All those lowercases in rolo's posts are making my eyes hurt. I'll check back into this thread when it's moved on from whatever's going on here.

maybe he should talk to tomei about what it feels like to be ridiculed for having an award he does not deserve. Oh, when are we just going to be done with that one already? Marisa Tomei turned in a perfectly memorable comedic performance in a field that happened to populated by four Brits. I might'...

Gosford Park. Mirren is masterful, Smith is a hoot, and even Phillipe holds his own. My first introduction to Clive Owen as well. Simply put, it's Altman at his best.

Gibson does not come across as a bad guy, but he was obviously brought up in an unusual household. I am not convinced that he is himself an anti-semite, but that there is a residual affect from being raised by one. There is a difference I think. I love how you describe the denial of the Holocaust a...

Not especially, no.

I think Kathleen Quinlan in Apollo 13 is possibly a more apt comparison although, I suppose, she gets in under the never-to-be-under-estimated "suffering wife" clause.

I have to agree that Jennifer Hudson has a much better chance in supporting. It makes more sense for her to compete in that category. From imdb.com Studios Deny Pushing Knowles Ahead of Hudson Hollywood studios Paramount and DreamWorks have denied speculation they are pushing Beyonce Knowles for a ...

Steering this wandering thread back on topic (was I really talking about, of all things, Howard's End a couple posts ago..?!), I just downloaded the soundtrack to 'Dreamgirls' last night off of iTunes and it's fantastic! Hudson's "And I Am Telling You" is pretty much indescribable, especi...

Wonder how she and co. will recover. Frankly, I think she already has recovered. Her position on the gay community is pretty clear, as stated in her blog. In the interview, she was acknowledging that the Bible considers homosexuality a sin and that's what she's been taught. She never says that's wh...

I still think it might be able to pull in nods for Winslet and screenplay. With critical attention, Haley and Somerville are both possibilities in support.
