Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

I think Cate has won more precursors this year then when she won the Oscar in 2004. Granted they have been fairly minor precursors... Blanchett had 6 before winning the Oscar: Washington DC, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Online Film Critics, Screen Actors Guild, Online Film & TV Assoc and British Aca...

I've always imagined the definitive 9/11 film would be one completely epic miniseries that only HBO can make. You make it a 20-part with a different director covering every single angle: The attack being conceived, every terrorist in flight training, the passengers aboard the planes that hit the to...

DGA: Clint Eastwood - Flags of Our Fathers Clint Eastwood - Letters from Iwo Jima Martin Scorsese - The Departed Bill Condon - Dreamgirls Paul Greengrass - United 93 PGA: The Departed Dreamgirls Letters from Iwo Jima The Queen United 93 SAG: Best Actor Forest Whitaker - The Last King of Scotland Le...

That's the thing with the Academy. They are a self-important lot. Many of them will watch the film as consummate artists. Unlike the general public, they don't have issues with tough subjects. September 11 is the new Holocaust, IMO. Maybe starting this year, maybe in 10 years, they will start treat...

I've been thinking about this and I think it makes sense. If United 93 is nominated for Best Picture, it will win. I'm not 100% on its nomination, but I really think that it might just win because of its impact and "importance". Now, with SAG, I don't think United 93 will be eligible. It ...

And Claire was hardly moderate on the troop issue. She was very much for a timetable for withdrawal. She consistently used Talen'ts own "stay the course" message against him. One of her big talking points was that he consistently sided with the president but said he was an independent thi...

Here's the press release and I've attached the full list of films below that from the Academy's website. 307 Feature Films in Competition for 2006 Oscar® Beverly Hills, CA — Three hundred seven feature films are eligible for the Academy Award® for Best Picture of 2006, it has been announced by the ...

You're an idiot, Criddic. Lamong lost for one reason only: Joe Lieberman was A) a much more recognizable name; B) the champion of pork for the state of Connecticut; C) the only viable alternative for Republicans. Had the republicans actually put up a worthy challenger, much of Lieberman's support w...

Because this topic has NOTHING to do with the Academy Awards, moving it to the CORRECT forum.

I'm gonna start closing more topics like I did in the Predictions area above if people don't stick to topics. If you want to have a discussion about the plight of moderately religious people in Hollywood, then start a topic in the People topic in the film section below. Initially, Akash's post was ...

This topic is CLOSED. It has gotten so far off-topic it is lost.

If you want to discuss homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual sex or your personal mores, start a topic in the Misceallaneous Off-Topic area. This is DEFINITELY NOT the place.
