Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Oh, one last thing. Critics' lists have always been very popular here, still this year nobody seems to have the courage to say that Dreamgirls is suspiciously absent from most of them... I know. I meant more this year. As far as Dreamgirls goes, I'll wait till I see it. I'm not a big fan of musical...

Having said that, The Departed could break that trend with such Hollywood luminaries among the cast. But will the Academy want to ignore Dreamgirls after the debacle of last year? Last year, Crash won against the odds because it was the only conservative alternative to Brokeback Mountain. I don't g...

Best Picture (Drama): The Departed r.u. The Queen Best Picture (Comedy/Musical): Dreamgirls r.u. Little Miss Sunshine Best Actor (Drama): Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed) r.u. Forrest Whitaker Best Actor (Comedy/Musical) : Sacha Baron Cohen r.u. Will Farrell Best Actress (Drama): Helen Mirren r.u. ...

A little off topic, and a post better placed on the Dreamgirls blog, but can someone tell me if the stage musical, and thus the film, if you've seen it (Damien better to answer that one) is more 'broadway' in style of its music and songs, or is more in keeping with the Motown the it depicts? Back o...

Because nothing yet has convinced me that it will change. We must remembe that the Best Director prize of critics groups doensn't always go to the the same as the Academy.

True.

OscarGuy, exactly what are you basing a Bill Condon Best Director win on? Based on what's happened over the past few days, Scorsese would be the favourite.

I just read the news. Can't believe it.

Cinema won't be the same without him.

Can I ask where this sudden love for DiCaprio and Blood Diamond comes from? It looks utter rubish, and DiCaprio already looks good for a Departed Best Actor nod. Why all of a sudden Blood Diamond?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Emmy-winning composer Basil Poledouris, best known for his powerful music for action-adventure films of the 1980s and '90s, died of cancer in Los Angeles on Wednesday, a spokeswoman said. He was 61. Poledouris worked on the scores for the early Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicles...

Dear God, get this basket-case out of office now.

What about 'Black Book' from The Netherlands? Imagine Paul Verhoeven as on Oscar nominee.

I only started reading the McCarthy review, but you words Sonic: "Poor Marty" kept me from reading further. As much as I enjoy some of Clint Eastwood's films (Million Dollar Baby was, well, rubbish), I couldn't stand the notion that he take another Oscar from Scorsese. I've yet to see The...

If the Parents Television Council are steamed, then the vegetables should stear clear.

This is an old 'urban-legand', but still funny. I think some of you might enjoy it.
