"Catwoman" gets 11 nominations!
The 2004 Oscar nominees were announced this morning. There was no love for my favorite movie of the year, Garden State. Oh, well. I've been saying it for months now - believe the hype about Jamie Foxx's performance in Ray. One movie that I've been wanting to see is Sideways, but now my appetite is really whetted. Million Dollar Baby holds little appeal to me, but I may have to check it out. I've yet to check out The Aviator. Lastly, Fahrenheit 911 didn't receive one nomination, not even best documentary. Maybe there's still hope for Hollywood, after all.

Only two nominations for Eternal Sunshine?? Two?! I can't believe the Academy has overlooked Jim Carrey yet *again* -- what's this, the third time? Come on, you came around for Mork! And Ace Ventura is *slightly* less obnoxious.
Where's the love?
I missed "Eternal Sunshine" when it was in the theaters and have yet to rent it. But it's on my list.
I agree: Jim Carrey has been passed over more times than a joint at a Phish concert.
Of course I've only seen a couple of those films (as usual) since my taste in films isn't usually what the Oscars like. Garden State should have been on there, though.
Did y'all hear about the Razzies awards? I just wrote a story about it for my show... The highlights: Nominated for worst pic: Catwoman (7 noms total), Alexander (6 noms total). Other worst pics: "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," "Surviving Christmas" and "White Chicks."
Berry nominated for worst actress... Ben Affleck nominated for worst actor (Jersey Girl). His stiff competition in that catagory includes President Bush... for his riveting performance in "Fahrenheit 9-11."
I had just read the list of Razzie nominees. There's a lot deserving movies listed, but c'mon - Bush, Condi, Rummy? I feel that these "awards" should be used to shit on the terrible performances coming out of Hollywood, not to make political statements. If there was any justice, they'd be replaced with the cast of "Anacondas" (which didn't get a single nom).
It really was a stupid gamble by Moore/Miramax to broadcast his movie, thus making it ineligible for Best Documentary. First it doesn't change the outcome of the election and now it won't win an Oscar.
You of all people haven't seen "The Aviator?" 16:9, you let me down.
Please turn in your Scorsese Fanatic membership card. As for his chances, never underestimate the power of The Eyebrows.
Also, don't forget that he lost to a child molestor in 2002.
Pointing out historical inaccuracies is a blessing...and a curse.
Riesling=white wine=fridge.
Oooooh, shnap!
"There's too much in the glass. It won't taste right!"
Fine. I'll throw out the wine. But I'm keeping the virgin (she also serves as a humidor).
Just drink it quickly, and then you don't have to worry. The $8 bottles (of which I have several) don't need to be aged...
I've got a nice Perrin Reserve Cotes du Rhone 2000 I think I'll open...either that or a Two Buck Chuck red.
It ended up being the Charles Shaw red. No use to waste good wine on "the Amazing Race."
Sideways is really good! But I only saw two movies last year, so I can't compare it to the others. But I think you'll like it.
Thanks for the tip. I'm really looking forward to seeing it tomorrow.
What is "Sideways" about? I don't think I know that film.
Per Yahoo Movies:
Miles Faymond (Giamatti), a divorced middle school teacher and failed novelist, and his altar-bound friend Jack (Church) take a wine-tasting trip in California, pondering questions about their directions in life.
Oh. Well, looks like I'll be watching "Eurotrip" again. ,,Kein Schwein findet uns in Bratislava!!"
