i thought chicago was ok, but i've already seen Dancer in the Dark and Moulin Rouge, and it just seemed like a mixture of the two.

plus.... i had absolutely no compassion for zelweggers character whatsoever, and im a fan of her's, so i can't say i liked the glorification of her role particularly....

Posted by MovieGod on 02-11-2003 06:44 PM:

True---Musicals shouldn't, and since Gere didn't get nominated, usually a sign of how the Academy would think, here it goes for my picks.

I won't go into total detail like my Critic Brother Mystic, cause most of his picks in those categories are mine, xcept the main ones.

Best Song-Hands Across America-U2

Best Animated Film--(Tie) Spirted Away and Lilo and Stitch (Hey its a Hawaii vote for the Lilo, but overall Its Spirted.best animated film of the year)

Best Adapted Screenplay--The Hours--heading into the event I would have guessed Chicago, but after hearing Oscar Nominations, vote has switched to The Hours.

Best Original Screenplay--Gangs of New York

Best Supporting Actress--Kathy Bates and Julianne have been odds on favorite for this Cat. in fact I think I said in my Golden Globes handicap, the same 5 would be nominated again. But my pick, out of all 5 actresses, it would have to go to Meryl Streep for Adaptation, she was just simply amazing in this film, and should get award.

Best Supporting Actor--From the Beginning I would have said it would have came down to Paul Newman and Christopher Walken (This is one of his best roles that he has done), but my pick, out of all the actors would be Chris Cooper for his just amazing performance in Adaptation.

Best Actress--Sorry M.S., Salma as good as she was will not will the oscar, my pick and this is a hard cat. for that it is a three woman race between Kidman/Zellwegger/and Lane, and my pick for the Oscar will be Diane Lane for her role in Unfaithful.

Best Actor--Jack Nicholson--nuff said.

Best Director--Martin Scorscese

Best Picture--From the Beginning, I have been huge fans of the Globe winners Chicago and The Hours. The Hours will probably win, but my upset pick is The Gang of The Hours.

Posted by krazyfoo on 02-11-2003 06:46 PM:

these nominations are bull shit

theres basicaly the same 4 or 5 movies.. in all the nominations


Gangs of New York.. sucked folks..... i mean.. yea.. there was cool fighting and even some good acting... but the movie... just wasnt that amazing..

Adaptation.. should have a nomination in every category and yet it does not... it is one of the most amazing mixes of editing/screenplay/ and acting brilliance.. and deserves waaay more credit

My Big Fat Greek Wedding... is a prime example of EVERYTHING a movie SHOULD be.. and it only got a screenplay nomination... [was the acting in that movie not superb??]

i agree w/ pHo.... Chicago is a 'been there, done that' type of movie.. its certainly nothing new.. its well done.. and very entertaining.. but its based of broadway... i mean.. it can only be but soo good.

The Pianist... is a work of art... and should win most of its nominations... best director id say

MYSTi and i are both MYSTified... as to... how Y Tu Mama Tambien didnt get a foreign film nomination.. and how City Of God.. has no mention whatsoever... [a film that knocks the socks off .. almost all the nominations.


and i hope Spirited Away takes hom the Best Animated Film award... as the others are NOTHING by comparison..

Me n h8y is so pissed about that. Y Tu Mama... was a masterpiece. *sob*

And City Of God getting no nominations is equally as disgusting! But then again, was that movie released too late for consideration this year?

Great to see an anime getting a nod. Three cheers for Miyazaki and Spirited Away!

Posted by Mystic Slippers on 02-12-2003 12:17 PM:

*^5's MG* hehe

Best Actress--Shame coz i think Salama was superb as Frida. And it's a shame the movie didn't get the recognition it so richly deserved in theatres.

"Best Actor--Jack Nicholson--nuff said." - Hell yeah, Jack was just breathtakingly good in About Schmidt and i totally loved that movie.

"Best Director--Martin Scorscese" = I also think Scorcese in my heart of hearts. Purely coz the media have played up the fact about it. More a 'pressure' gong than anything and i don't agree with it. I thought GoNY was boring and i normally like Scorcese movies. But he doesn't deserve it for this.

I would have to disagree with you on that Y Tu Mama tabien wasn't a very good movie. just out of curiosity did you see it from the english with sub's point of view or spanish? Because I seen it form the spanish point of view and I thought it was very lame it had little or no point to the whole plot. And maybe it was just me but alot of my friends speak perfect spanish and they didn't seem to like it much either but I did see a very good spanish movie maybe the best spanish movie I have ever seen It was named Amores perros now that was a very good movie did you happen to catch that one?

The Pianist should win the oscar but Roman Polanski
troubles might stop it from getting the attention it needs and deserves. I just hope it don't stop Adrien Brody from getting his first oscar for this True master piece I love that movie.

I'll post some picks later. I wanna finish watching Chicago and I wanna see The Pianist before I make the picks. I'm sure you're all waiting....

Posted by krazyfoo on 02-12-2003 06:44 PM:

XChemical...


yea i saw this the first time... w/ no subs.. as i DID make it through about 6 years of Spanish... took the AP exams and all
not that i can speak it but so well... but i can def understand it.

anyhow... the movie loses little in translation.. as ive seen both the subb'd and non-subb'd so that really isnt a factor.

i thought it was artfully done.... and i assume the version u saw didnt have the boy kissing the other boy.. edited out.. cuz if it idd.. that would almost be ur problem right there.. .. cuz the movie w/o that scene.. is kinda silly.

all in all tho... it was a great story... of comin of age... sex...and mischief... of friendship... and how 'fake love' can tear two people apart... hehe.. blah.. i sound like a movie summary writer


and thats sad to hear that Y.Tu.Mama.Tambien failed... to submit themselves as a Foreign nomination. but at least i have a reason now.


Moviegod... are u not a big fan of Adaptation? .. i see u left only room for Meryl STreep (tho i agree she was amazing.) just thought ud see the genius of Charlie Kaufman... and his fake screen credits i mean his genius transcends the movie.... and film itself

hrm... /me gets of Kaufmans dick

I watched the Unrated Subbed release by FLAiR.

I don't need the subs coz i speak Spanish coz like um, i'm half Spanish like.

I loved it, and i'm sure many would agree, but tis a matter of opinion i guess. And yeah Amores Perros is awesome.

Posted by mrfossey on 02-13-2003 08:20 AM:

i would like to see roman polanski for best director, adaptaition for best adapted screenplay, and the man without a past for best foreign language film, even though aki kaurismäki once said that hes feet are never going to touch the ground of hollywood.

for the rest, i go with mystics picks

Posted by rec0de on 02-15-2003 08:20 AM:

the bad thing about the oscars for me is that the trend amongst the academy seems to be to vote for movies that well just wont be remembered as classics it happens too much, like for instance when shawshank redemption was nominated and umm....forest gump won. FOTR gets nominated and beautiful mind wins....i mean c'mon beautiful mind is a good film but not what i'd call a classic, a classic to me is something that will be remembered in years to come. I think the lord of the rings movies have potential to be classics. I mean look at the oscars 20 odd yrs ago wqhen star wars was nominated... it didnt win but became a classic. And look at titanic winning all those oscars i mean apart from the last 30 mins its just a run of the mill love story. nothing special about it. I think scorcesse will take something home, the academy tend to give stuff out to veterans and if jack nicholson gets another one well fuck that its a fix like last yr didnt anyone think how convenient it was that afro-americans won all that shit its all a dumb ass ploy its like the whole show was filmed that way, but dont get me wrong halle berry deserved her oscar i saw the movie n she played her character well, denzel i'm not so sure about. N how come antwone fisher aint in the nominations that movie was really good, and narc another good movie...the oscars just aint what they used to be, there are far many more independant movies out there that are much more deserving than the big name hollywood shite chicago is in my opinion over rated nothing that wasnt done 50 yrs ago by better ppl. a good yr for the box office but not that good for the oscars...GUYS DO UR SELF A FAVOR FIRE UR ACADEMY MEMBERS N GET SOME NEW ONES. pianist better win shit thats damn good movie, the one light of salvation for me is micheal moore getting nominated for bowling for columbine right on man!!! eminem nominated for loose urself, i wish he would do just that (i wonder when the eminem backlash is gonna start) he's over played now was novel at first but he's just a dumb twat with a big mouth n ppl think he's the voice of a generation welp he sure dont speak for most o the ppl i know. he pulled off the acting thing tho, in a wierd kinda ironic way i think i prefer him as an actor. all in all its sad but true 2003 oscars are gonna be a let down the obvious will win and the deserving will walk outa there thinking fuck it i'll stay at home n order pizza next time

Yeah, what the hell, I think he should risk it. Pick up his Oscar, make his speech, and go straight to jail. What most people don't know is that his fling with the 13-yr old French Lolita happened 22-years ago! It's a shame the matter wasn't resolved before he made his masterpiece, "The Pianist" (which I think should sweep the Academy Awards taking home Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor).

Posted by Hitman47 on 02-15-2003 11:53 PM:

you think feminem will show up to perform? he wont win it.. i assure you, chicago will most likley, based on the fact the movie is based in song...

Posted by Medievalchimp on 02-18-2003 01:15 AM:

bah tough ones ;D best actor without a doubt goes to The Pianist...best picture SHOULD go to the Japanese version of Spirited Away -.- but since the academy sux0rz im in a tie between The Two Towers and Pianist director goes to Polanski

Posted by zagrecko on 03-08-2003 11:23 AM:

The Oscar thing is a joke. Was it last year(don't mind remembering because it doesn't men anything but bizniz) when Denzel and Halle got it? Denzel was so wrong for the part and not believeble. Halle overacted her way thru a really shitty movie also. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Okay, I lied. I will never be watching The Pianist. In fact, I find it very telling that the folks at The Oscars will most likely be trashing the President but honoring a convicted child molester. This bit's for Roman Polanski (those of you interested in his story, check out www.thesmokinggun.com)....I hope you rot.

Now! On to my picks.

Posted by CcZ on 03-15-2003 03:02 AM:

Damn, Ian McKellen was fucking robbed! Oh well, they better give Peter Jackson the award for best director. Think about it. He's made 3 (we can assume it will be great, they were filmed at the same time and same style) excellent films. He needs an award besides special effects.
Chicago should win this year. I loved it, read the signature! Lol. I wasn't crazy bout' The Hours but thought Nicole Kidman was great. On Chicago, Renee is a much better singer than Catherine Zeta-Jones. I thought LOTR: TTT was great, and better than FOTR, but it was not the best film of the year. If Chicago brings back the musicals, then it should be awarded Best Picture. After all, they say the best film is awarded to the "film that has the biggest impact on hollywood." If it brings back musicals, that's a huge impact. Other than that, Adaptation would be my next choice. What more has a bigger impact in hollywood than a funny great movie about movie making itself!

I'm happy Adrian won too!! Yee-hah!

I thought Jack would win just as a body-of-work kind of thing... but secretly I wanted Adrian Brody to win!

And Roman Polanski won Best Director! Too bad Chicago got Best Picture. I thought it was the 2nd to worst film in the category. The Hours being the worst. But at least The Pianist won best adapted screenplay. Yay!

Posted by kalvaitis007 on 03-24-2003 06:32 AM:

Yes, let us all gather around and cheer the fact that a child molestor and a fugitive from justice won best director! Woo Hoo!!! And Michael Moore, one ham sandwich away from dying like Mamma Cass, won too! I'm glad Hollywood has shown us just how in touch they are with America. And these fucks wonder why people don't wanna pay for the shit they spew.

I mean, honestly. ROMAN POLANSKI is R Kelly or Michael Jackson without the blackness (check the link!) and they cheer for this creep? He's lower than low....he's sub-human. The fundementalists that hate us because of our culture might be on to something. Our culture does suck, and these fuckers are Public Enemies Number one when it comes to polluting it with trash, violence, sexism, an amoral behaviour not seen since Caligula.

Chuck D had it right, "BURN HOLLYWOOD, BURN!"

Posted by vinnyv on 03-24-2003 06:34 AM:

Chicago is an adaptation of a play. Not much creative about it at all. I cant understand how it won. It just shows you that the academy wanted to give it to a musical. All I know is that if Lord Of The Rings doesnt win next year....Im never watching another Academy Awards show again. It deserved it this year....and last. So far one of the greatest movies of all time has nothing to show for it. In my mind Lord Of The Rings is a classic movie , one that will be shown from generation to generation. It deserves the best picture nod.

im just curious about a site of winners, cuz im not all that smart or someone posting who actually won in each category, cuz that would be cool =)

That is 100% sick. The guy raped a 13 year old. He should be in jail. I'm suprised you don't see what's going on here, Dawgy. If Hitler and Goebbels were alive to day to produce and direct a period piece about WWII they'd have about a 7 to 3 shot at getting an Oscar.

About the best song, well, Lose Yourself was WAY more popular than the Hands that Built America. Lose Yourself, I believe, became #1 on Billboard, and I don't even think The Hands that Built America was on the Billboard chart, ever! But, I love Eminem & U2, so it really didn't matter to me.
Are you all glad about Chicago winning Best Picture? I thought it was a fun movie, and they put a lot of time into it, I mean, it takes a lot to make a non-singer sing! And Renee was cute in the movie, she has a great personality.
Also, did you guys like the fact that Steve Martin got to host? I thought the beginning was hilarious, with the number of women he's fked, and the "you can be democratic...*30 seconds*...or skinny". He's way better than Whoopi Goldberg.

The Oscars arent about Billboard charts..you want an award where the billboard charts matter go watch the Billboard Awards or the AMA's

Everyone is allowed their opinion like Kay said..I just happen to think Eminem shouldn't have won.. I think musically and talent wise U2 had the edge but they gave it to Eminem cause of the kiddie population

But its over with..nothing can be done about it now

Well...that's not fair to say at all. That pretty much ignores the exceptional lyrics, emotion, and passion in the song...especially after seeing the movie...I liked the song about 100x better. :}

I've never heard a song not only relate to a movie as well as Lose Yourself, but actually catch the ENTIRE theme and essence of it.

Eminem had 2 songs inspired from the movie...Lose Yourself and 8 Mile.
8 Mile(the song) basically sums up the entire movie in 4 minutes, and lose yourself adds the extra emotions and explains the main issue, to me...exceptionally well.

Enough whining or whatever the hell it is I'm doing...but the point is...to say they gave Em the award cuz of the "kiddie population" is baseless and unfair, since you are discrediting ALL the good his song has.

edit: oops he had 3 songs off the movie..i forgot to add Rabbit Run, which is like a mixture of the other two, in it's content :}

Petrocs, Eminem appeals to all sorts of people, just like U2. They're both very very very popular. Although, if i had one of those ballots, I would have probably picked Eminem, just for the sole fact to commemorate him for "8 Mile," because the movie was great, and I probably would have figured Gangs of New York woulda won something else during the course of the night. Unfortunately, it didn't.

i dont understand what was so great about the pianist? it seemed to be the same as every other jewish holocaust movie i've ever seen: jew gets out of camp/ghetto, hides out in a locked room for a while, war ends, jews are liberated. what gives here?

Are you kidding me? You actually think this is just another "jew"movie? Did you watch it? If you did you wouldnt be questioning whats so great about it

I guess for me personally movies like Schindlers List were very broad in the sense that they were more based on the general subject of the Holocaust and not on one mans struggle for survival through all his pains and sufferings. To me its amazing that he survived as long as he did and was able to be rescued. The atmosphere of Warsaw during the Second World War is well captured and believable and I thought this was possibly the most realistic portrayal of the Holocaust. Adrian Brody did a magnificent job portraying Wladyslaw Szpillman. Thats my opinion on the movie.

I see your point. It just seemed to me that The Pianist was just another version of the same movie that has already been made many times over such as: The Shop on Main Street, Life is Beautiful, The Hiding Place, The Garden of Finzi-Continis, The Diary of Anne Frank, Europa Europa, Jakob the Liar, The Grey Zone, Shoah, As If it was Yesterday, The Boat is Full.

You name some fantastic movies (except Jakob the Liar hehe)
However I dont know how many were actually based on a true story..I see a few that I know were ..but I definately have a fondness for The Pianist because of its reality

U2 and Eminem was a tough choice, When i saw Gangs of New York i didn't notice the song in the movie, i watch the ending credits and all, but the song just doesn't call out. Now don't mistake me for a rap freak, because i own every U2 album released, plus some of their bootlegs to get all the good versions of With or Without You, but the Eminem song, as KayDawg said, was full of emotion and you could basically know the plot of the movie just by listening to it. I think a lot of people pass Eminem off as someone without a lot of talent (like most rappers), but he's one of the few people that can put together a rhyme and have it give you goosebumps from listening to it. Another thing to mention is, how many people think of eminem as a "White Rapper" now? When i think of him, he's just a rapper. I don't remember another person who was considered a legitimate rapper and was white.
