Did you think she was supporting, though?

I was quite close to replacing it there, actually, just to be an irritant (and because I don't think it's all that great).

But it's score is fantastic.

Sollett and Cera are reason enough for me. I haven't seen Dennings in anything, but you used the word "joyous" and that describes her in the trailer. Looking forward to it.

While I can recognize the skill involved in the cinematography and art direction (less so the score), it doesn't make the film any easier for me to sit through. In a year with terrible oscar decisions, No Man's Land triumphing over Amelie was a bright spot.

1. Preserving Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth (Best Actress). I know all of you are shocked. 2. Replacing Patch Adams in best original score, music or comedy, with Out of Sight . I love this music.

Hmmm.... Well, obviously Dreyfuss loses his oscar, though to whom? I haven't seen A Special Day , so that's out. I think the potential for a great performance is there in Equus . Burton obviously was familiar with the role, and it is a great one. Lumet manages to ruin it though. If Damien hadn't in...

Oh, Reza accidentally edited out his choice, which was to use one of his passes and keep On the Waterfront winning best picture.
