Except for Best Picture, I have a feeling that academy ballots could look awefully like this one. The director could match 5 for 5. I see Best Actor match completely. Some chance for Best Actress. The five supporting actress nominees will likely come out the 6 here too. Even the tech categories and documentary (except for Grizzly Man). |

Brokeback, of course, really made a sweeping. Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Original Score, and Cinematography. It has always impressed me how this is a small, intimate film, yet it excels in so many areas, including technicals. This is partly the reason why I think Brokeback may have enough force to win the big one at the Oscars, since it isn't just the directing and acting that is respected (ala. The Hours) but other things among that. It's functioning moreso as a "bigger" film. Some critics in fact call if a love story "epic" or whatever. Good job for Brokeback. And of course I am overjoyed for the love of King Kong. Best Picture, Director, Actress (Naomi!!!), Cinematography and Original Score! Does anyone else think King Kong could indeed slip in for a nomination for Score at the Oscars, since it is a rather weak year for that category in my opinion? I dunno. It certainly helps that it is Howard and not Shore who did it, and it got the Globes mention too, though I've always thought the Globes are not really that great of an indicator at all. A History of Violence got some good love, but I still don't see it being nominated at the Oscars. It's the critical darling, but not Academy friendly, in my opinion, after actually having seen it. Though I could be wrong. However I am REALLY feeling a Best Director nom for Cronenberg though. Further adds to my thought that Woody Allen will get shut out with his film. Munich absent for Best Picture again, but Spielberg got the Director nom, much like the Globes and a few other awards I believe. Interesting. Also, the fact that both the supporting acting categories have 6 nominees here just goes to show how widespread and open those two categories are this year. Those are probably two of the very hardest to predict, and apparently even hard for the critics to cut down to five. PEACE, Mike. |

You know what Xiayun, I think this lineup would definitely mirror the Oscars. Who do you guys think will be left out in the supporting categories? Right now, my guess would be Rachel Weisz (Johansson is pretty vulnerable though) and for the supporting actors... Mickey Rourke is definitely out... and Terence Howard could get tossed aside as well (the Oscars could go for the sentimental vote and sneak Donald Sutherland in). |

I think Terence Howard is getting a nom this year. Either for Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor. |

This line up really contains some great stuff (on the whole) Quote: Best Foreign Language Film 2046 Cache Downfall Kung - Fu Hustle Oldboy I haven't seen Cache, and 2046 is slightly overrated, but overall... wow. Quote: Best Director George Clooney: Good Night, and Good Luck David Cronenberg: A History of Violence Peter Jackson: King Kong Ang Lee: Brokeback Mountain Steven Spielberg: Munich This is a great set here. Nobody is undeserving of this nomination. Quote: Best Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman - Capote Terrence Howard - Hustle & Flow Heath Ledger - Brokeback Mountain Joaquin Phoenix - Walk the Line David Strathairn - Good Night, and Good Luck These are my predicted five. Quote: Best Actress Joan Allen - The Upside of Anger Felicity Huffman - Transamerica Keira Knightley - Pride & Prejudice Naomi Watts - King Kong Reese Witherspoon - Walk the Line I think the wild card here is Watts vs. Dench vs. Theron. Quote: Best Supporting Actor Matt Dillon - Crash Terrence Howard - Crash Paul Giamatti - Cinderella Man Jake Gyllenhaal - Brokeback Mountain Mickey Rourke - Sin City Donald Sutherland - Pride & Prejudice Supporting Actor category is hard. I don't think Howard will be a Jamie Foxx this year. Dillon, Giamatti and Gyllenhaal will likely get a nomination. Rourke will (sadly!) be overlooked. Frank Langella from Good Night, Good Luck. has popped on the radar on talk shows and in mentions on TV lately... I think he has a shot at a nomination. Giamatti is really poised to win this award this year. Quote: Best Supporting Actress Amy Adams - Junebug Maria Bello - A History of Violence Scarlett Johansson - Match Point Catherine Keener - Capote Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener Michelle Williams - Brokeback Mountain I'm not sure about Johansoon or Weisz... you could easily put Blethyn (Pride) or Gong Li there, but Li's chances really seem tied to the critical failure of Memoirs of a Geisha. Quote: Best Original Score Batman Begins - Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard Brokeback Mountain - Gustavo Santaolalla Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Danny Elfman King Kong - James Newton Howard Memoirs of a Geisha - John Williams I would not nominate Batman Begins here, and with two composers its pretty much out of the Oscar running. Brokeback Mountain exists more in the silences than in the score. I would think Potter would deserve a nomination here mroe than those other two. Quote: Best Documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room Grizzly Man Mad Hot Ballroom March of the Penguins Murderball WOW. Overall these nominations are excellent, and I wouldn't be heartbroken if the Academy's picks were exactly the same. |

I assume that's kind of bad for Munich? Only getting Director.. 
Some inspired choices in here.. like Joan Allen (I hope she wins at least one of these) and most surprisingly Mickey Rourke..

Interesting picks. Pretty good, overall. Another blow to Munich and another step ahead for Brokeback and Kong! I think the Best Actor and Best Actress categories are just about what the Oscars are going to go for. The only changes are Bana in place of Howard and Theron in place of Watts or Knightley. Clooney is missing from the supporting category. Although I really didn't think he did that amazing of a job; I mean there wasn't that much for him to do in Syriana, I still think he is a shoe in for a nod, being his year and all. |

I still think Keener might be ignored. From the actresses who are not nominated here, Gong Li definitely continues to fade, but there is still a chance that Diane Keaton could replace one of them. I'm just surprised how big Keaton's buzz has fallen in a month, from the frontrunner for a win to struggling for a nomination. Supporting Actress is turning out to be a very competitive category. Supporting Actor race is such a crapshoot right now, except that Paul Giamatti seems to be the frontrunner. Nothing will surprise me here on the nomination morning. |

Crash is Ebert's No. 1 film, and he is defending it like his baby, so no surprise here. BBM's love isn't dying, as the two tech awards show. |
