oscar predictions

whats everyones guesses on the nominees for this year?

I think it will probably be - shrek, AI, man who wasnt there, lord of the rings and if i had my way blow or monsters inc.

oscars suck it doesnt matter idont did a munch of retarded judges telling me who is better thn who

that wasnt my question.

damn! iam never right

Backfire, I don't think any of those movies will get nominated. Maybe AI, but I really doubt it. It got mixed reviews.

Most of the time, they relase the good movies right around Oscar time.

To:
don't you think LOTR will get SEVERAL nominations.

If "Shrek" is nominated, someone on the comittee is smoking crack, AND giving the other members a free puff. Great, great kid movie...not Best Picture material, though. "Monsters, Inc." was better. I think "A.I." might get a nomination...but it has no shot at winning, IMO...just too hated (I myself was quite annoyed with it). LOTR may indeed get a nomination...though I doubt it'll win. Aside from that, though, I imagine PJ will get a Best Director nod...though not the statue itself. I do think it's a cinch to beat out "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for "Best Adapted Screenplay." It's a shame, too, because Potter would have won most other years, I imagine. It was very well done.

Lord of the Rings will probably get nominations for special effects, or costumes; things like that. But it most likely won't get a Best Picture nomination.

The Oscars usually nominate more serious drama, and not so much fantasy. I'm not saying LOTR won't be dramatic, but it's different, you know?

"Life as a House" is the only movie I've seen with an "Oscar feel" to it. That movie was good, but it won't get nominated. Like I said, I think every movie that will be nominated hasn't been released yet.

From what I've heard the new Ewan McGregor movie, Black Hawk Down is supposed to clean up at the Oscars this year. But I would really like to see Johnny Depp get a nomination for his work in Blow.

Depp does get the shaft at the Oscars' doesn't he? He's damn good!

Star Wars got a best picture nomination, so LOTR might, especially considering the mazingly positive critical reaction so far.

I've lost all faith in the Oscars since TPM hardly won a thing. Whether you like the film or not it should have won a lot more than it did. What did it win anyway? Was it just costume design?

I think Black Hawk Down will clean up.

BHD won't clean up...early reviews seem bad. I don't see it winning too much. What it does win it will probably win just because it's a war movie.

that's because the critics weren't that friendly for them!

I haven't seen a bad BHD review yet. And with everything that's going on, an American war film is going to be popular.

Gladiator won last year, so this year won't be a war picture. It will be something 'simpler'.

Lord of the Rings is a part of a trillogy, so I doubt it will get a nom. Star Wars did, but no-one knew it was part of a trillogy at the time.

To:
you wanna bet about that LOTR nomination?

No mah, I don't.

One: I havn't seen the movie yet.

Two: The Oscars have a tendancy to do whatever the hell they want, wether the movie is good or bad. Gladiator won last year, for Christ sake 🙁 .

I'm really hoping that Fellowship of the Ring is good, but Oscar calibur? That is a bold statement, my friend. Only time will tell.

1: all reviews were good
+
2: it's a giant film
+
3: people are flocking to the the cinema to see it.

= oscar

People that I've talked to havn't like it, tough.

By your annalogy, Cast Away should have won best picture. It was the highest grossing picture of last year, it got very good reviews, and it wasn't nominated. It SHOULD have been, but wasn't.
