Yesterday was a fun day. Not only did you guys drive me nuts, but I stabbed myself in the stomach with a sharp pair of scissors trying to cut open a box, then I discovered the Angus burger I was going to have for lunch was tainted as were the other four burgers in the box and when I tried to go out...

Best Picture: The Wedding Banquet Best Director: Lasse Hallstrom, What's Eating Gilbert Grape Best Actor: Tom Hanks, Philadelphia Best Actress: Angela Bassett, What's Love Got to Do With It Best Supporting Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio, What's Eating Gilbert Grape Best Supporting Actress: Darlene Cates,...

One more thing. I have been laboriously looking up the "artists" responsible the writing of screenplays and songs and scores in order to place them in the results. If you guys can't be bothered listing the names of said "artists" in your picks then I am no longer going to take t...

Sometimes I wonder if people make decisions just to be "out there". Not that they would actually ever consider them great performances, they just want to pad the nomination totals of the films in question. Yeah, like the guy that had The Cardinal down for about 11 nominations. Say what yo...

A little shaking up is good but there are only so many slots which is why I prefer the best of the best game in which everyone's tastes, good and bad, can be reflected. This lead vs. support thing is getting ridiculous. I suppose a case can be made for Mark Lester, the kid that played Oliver Twist,...

Damn computer. I had added a comment about purposely not linking to Wells' site for exactly the reason Tee gives. Apparently the film has problems with its length though the performances are said to be good with Hugh Jackman coming off best. I haven't liked a Luhrmann film since Strictly Ballroom s...

Not completed, but... No offense, but you need to see a lot more movies from before 1990 -- especially since you're a composer yourself. James Newton Howard's King Kong but not Max Steiner's? I totally agree, i didn't see that much ''old'' movies, since i hate downloading and divx, etc etc, so i on...
