"Oscar nominations"

So Chicago gets a Best Director nomination, but Peter Jackson doesn't? Sod that. And if Gangs or LotR doesn't get Best Film, my last shred of respect for the Oscars is gone. And thats a small shred after last years joke.

Bah. Oh, and no adapted screenplay nomination for LotR? So converting the best book of the 20th century into one of the most successful films of the year isn't even worth a nomination? But what does? About a sodding Boy.

Gangs of New York and LotR should clean up. What will? Chicago.

It's a joke.

I haven't seen it, but Chicago looks like a rubbish version of Moulin Rouge.

LOTR rules all.

If Gangs of New York gets best film then I really will pi-ss myself with laughter. Okay film but if that's really what the Academy believes to be one of the best or the best films of last year then it really was a terrible year for films.

I thought Gangs was a superb film.

I didn't like it that much.

The soppy love crap with the hooker thief chick was just pointless and spoiled things in my opinion.
Not enough fighting.
Started well and just kind of died down too much.

Day-Lewis should get Best Actor. Look at the Best Picture nominees. The Hours - crap. The Pianist - looks crap. Chicago - utter crap. It's got to be LotR or Gangs.

Day Lewis should definetly get the Oscar me thinks, he did a great job as the Butcher.

The film was quite good but as Aliboy said, it started out well but just dragged on for too long, it would have redeemed itself a bit at the end of there was a decent fight but instead people started firing cannons.

Quite good film but nothing more IMO.

Nice to see the anime film Spirited Away get nominated for best animated feature. It sure beats the heck out of all the overly commercial crap Disney shovels out these days.

Gangs of New York was crap.

Spose I am going to have to watch it again. I was busy in the cinema.

Also, come on guys. LOTR isn't an American film so it won't win anything. The Oscars are completely rigged.
