Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

At the bequest of several people, I've decided to make a third update of my list (which includes Iwo Jima, plus Original Song and Nom/Awards tallies). Any reason why Emily Blunt isn't on the Supporting Actress shortlist? Once screeners go out to push Meryl surely people will be reminded what a clas...

Or to look at it another way, less painful - working until the very end doing something you love? May we all have such long full lives.

RIP.

I suspect Sacha Baron Cohen will win the Comedy/Musical Best Actor at the Globes and, at the very least, be a presenter (in character) at the Oscars.

I can't understand where all the Will Smith love is coming from. I saw the trailer and am surprised people are thinking of this film as an Oscar contender in any capacity. It's not as if the Academy is allergic to a little sappyness. Let's not forget Sean Penn (I Am Sam) and Richard Dreyfuss (Mr. H...

Maybe working with Ivory again will inspire Hopkins - The Remains of the Day was a high point in both their careers.

I said "six months" after her Oscar win. So close.... AP - Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, who started the year on an Oscar-winning high, are ending it on a low note: The couple have separated. "We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate,&...

Motherhood at 16.

I predict retirement at the grand old age of 21.

Who'll present it? James Garner or Anne Hathaway?

Australia has an entry this year - Rolf de Heer's Ten Canoes, which is in an indigenous language.

I say it every freakin' year - Doris Day.

Brit TV film on fictional Bush slaying AP - Fri Sep 1 LONDON - A British television network plans to broadcast a dramatic, documentary-style film about a fictional assassination of U.S. President George W. Bush, the network's head said Thursday. The program uses actors and digital manipulation of r...

She's touring Australia at the moment and has spoken about her relationship in several interviews (both on TV and in print).

...Glenn Close posing as an old-time star .... Anyone ever see the Bette Davis type character Glenn Close once played on an episode of 'The Tracey Ullman Show', desperate for a comeback in a project with her arch enemy - the June Allyson-esque character played by Ullmann. Hilarious. Topic - I'd lov...

I've also read somewhere (sorry, can't remember) that Dench said she wouldn't be campaigning for lead since she feels that Notes On A Scandal actually belongs to Blanchett. How funny; only a few hours ago I happened to read this at In Contention: Rumor has it that Dame Judi Dench pressured a lead c...
