------

I'm damn pleased to see Johnny Depp nominated for Best Actor.I seriously hope he wins, it's about time something like this got recodnized in the Oscars. His peformance in Pirates was indeed fantastic.

I still think Cold Mountain should've been nominated for Best Picture though, but it's nominated in quite a few other catogories so I'm sure they aren't too dissapointed. Also, there's the absence of Nicole Kidman in the Best Actress catogory, which I thought was kinda funny. Bet She's peeved though.

Lord Of The Rings *again* steals the show with 11 Nominations (I think), including special effects. I really think T3 or one of the Matrix sequels should've been nominated for that, as they had many more consistently good special effects shots.

Overall though, pretty interesting set of nominations.

Nothing surprising there, all I want to see is the ceremony, anyone know when it's on so I can set the tape to record?

I think Tom Cruise just hung himself. His best performance in ages, and he's pushed out by a drunk pirate and the Don.

As long as Return of the King wins best film, Jackson wins best director and Lost in Translation wins a few, I'll be moderately happy. Not that the Oscars mean jack anymore anyways.

Mystic River seems to have been getting pretty rave reviews - anybody seen it?

Lord of the rings should definitely win Best picture, score, song, director, visual effects, sound, makeup and costume design.

Err, counting that up thats quite a few oscars. :)

I hear you chug Lithium, how's that working out for you? Sounds painful.

What a disappointing lot.

The majority aren't great, are they? Few deserve a nomination - it's just that there's been nothing decent recently, with the exception of a few.

It's a shame Big Fish didn't get many.
