Oscar Nominations (LotR, Spirited Away, and more)

An anonymous reader noted that the Oscar Nominees are now online. The Two Towers is nominated for Best Picture, and Miyazaki's Spirited Away is nominated for Best Animated Picture (someday an Anime will be nominated Best Picture). Road to Perdition, Spider-Man, and even Star Wars have random nominations throughout the list. Even Eminem's got a nomination now ;) There's tons of other good movies in there too (Adaptation, Chicago) and a bunch of movies I've never seen. Anyway, talk amongst yourselves ;)

Re:Wow

[jaseuk]

and one award to rule them all?

Re:Wow

[briancnorton]

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
"And the award for making a big deal about something that nobody cares about goes to... It's a 35 Way tie!!!"

Who cares. I'd rather hear about the Razzies...

[Bowie J. Poag]

Thanks to slashdot for stating the obvious.. Yeesh.

And now, the not to obvious:
The Golden Raspberry Awards.

The fact that Gangs Of New York got nominated sort of cinches it for me. I havent seen acting that bad and Irish accents that poor since.... uhh... wait, I've never heard acting and Irish accents that poor! Ever!

Re:Who cares. I'd rather hear about the Razzies...

[Zathrus]

I've never heard acting and Irish accents that poor! Ever!

Ah... apparantly you're not a Buffy or Angel fan.

To hear Angel use his bad Irish accent is... well... let's just say I wish it was forgetable.

That should have read

Animated Feature Film

[alen]

Why didn't Star Wars get a nomination in this category? It was almost like Roger Rabbit. A cartoon with some real people in it.

Where is Nemesis?

[Mothra the III]

Surely its a better movie than any musical?

Re:Where is Nemesis?

[kalidasa]

Surely its a better movie than any musical?

Someone's whoring for humor karma, I see. The only category I can think of for Nemesis is "Best Adapted Screenplay," since it was based so thoroughly on "Wrath of Khan."

apathy

[milktoastman]

I'd geekily start lashing out at the popular entertainment culture and how Hollywood panders to the "lowest common denominator" (whatever that means), but years of sitting at a computer have shriveled my heart into a weak little prune. I haven't the energy left.

Woo-hoo for Kaurism�ki!

[Anonymous Coward]

Eläköön!

Now, if they could kill the damn Salatut Elämät soap-drama from the TV to further Finnish movie productions, things would be perfect...

Disappointed.

[DarkHelmet]

What? No Crossroads?

I thought Hollywood had awards for Best Breasts and Best Plastic Surgery... My bad.

Best:

[psicE]

ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
ICE AGE
LILO & STITCH
SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON
SPIRITED AWAY
TREASURE PLANET

So if Spirited Away wins, it will have beat Ice Age, Lilo & Stitch, Spirit, and Treasure Planet.

What an honor.

Not the only musical recently

[nightsweat]

Well there was that little independent film with a bunch of no-name actors last year... What was it called?

Oh yeah, Moulin Rouge. D'oh.

Re:I Hope 'Chicago' Gets Best Picture

[Anonymous Coward]

> I hope that 'Chicago' gets the best picture
> award.
> This has been the first musical, that I can
> recall, that has come out for a long time.

Absolutely! It has been a whole year since the musical MOULIN ROUGE was nominated for Best Picture. At this rate it may be a whole another year before another musical is nominated for best picture :-)

Re:Never happen QWZX

[Anonymous Coward]

The answer to this seems likely to be "Well... I've seen Akira". ;)

Re:Best Documentary - no doubts on this one

[Duds]

It puts its perspective well certainly. Unfortunately an R2 DVD release looks as unlikely as a story only appearing once on slashdot

Filthy, stinking hobbitsess...

[Lethyos]

They're theives! Wicked... false... tricksie... They stole our nomination... and we wants it back!

I would like to thank the academy

[scotay]

I love the Oscar season

The summer season of crappy cams that turn any film into pixelized mess like The Road to Blurdition is replaced by the crispness of winter and it's DVD source material.

The low rez crap, stupid watermarks, and constant subtitles in a language of strange squiggles are replaced by "for your consideration" and "may not duplicate" warnings that pass so quickly they are hardly noticed.

I eagerly join the ranks of an Academy that apparently also never has to pay or even leave the house to see a film. I may not be able to remember all your names, but I would like to thank all of you for being so free and easy with your promos.

That would be

[DougJohnson]

The best supported actress!

Re:Scorcesse?

[Anonymous Coward]

yes, there is. nobody can spell his name right.

Re:No LOTR Logo/Icon?

[arose]

Titanic 2?

Re:I Hope 'Chicago' Gets Best Picture

[NanoGator]

"I am very dissapointed that these types of musicals are not comming out of the Hollywood machine lately."

Would I be modded down over clever use of the term 'gaydar'?

Forrest Gump

[Anonymous Coward]

In order for a movie to get very serious consideration to actually win Best Picture Oscar, you better make darn sure you have characters on-screen moviegoers can relate to. Why do you think Forrest Gump won over Pulp Fiction?

Uhm ... moviegoers are stupid?

Love/Hate the Movie Industry

[Slak]

Ok, Slashdot, I must have lost my schedule; it's Tuesday - do we hate the MPAA's DVD policy today or do we fawn over the cool CGI stuff?

Re:Too bad for Gollum

[davinciII]

You mean that wasn't Steve Buscemi?
