I though David Carridine would get a supporting actor nod for his work in Kill Bill 2. I thought he was alot better than Jamie Foxx in Collateral.

I've got to disagree there, because Carradine was a flatliner. Foxx had some insane character evolution going for him.
Excuse me?Carradines performance is by far one of the best and most entertaining of the year.He had some really good and fun diolage and what was great is that as the audience you where almost convinced to like him even though what he did to Beatrix.He had a tough character to play,a sweet and charming man but on the inside dark and evil.

Damn straight. What's up with that, he did much better then Foxx in Collateral. His characters was much more interesting also.
Bill was interesting? He looked as if he could use an oxygen mask and cane. Carradine was too sappy and humdrum. Foxx, on the other hand, like I said, his character took a total 180.

I saw him the other way around, personally. Unless you see a guy who runs a death squad who he tells to execute with no remorse as "sweet". He's fronting like a bad guy, but has some internal conflict going on. Especially after seeing how he acted around Kiddo's daughter. I doubt he was just putting on for the sake of her well being.
Not that I liked either "Collateral" or "Kill Bill: Vol. 2", but I felt a HELL of a lot more compassion for Jamie Foxx. He had big dreams, was stuck in a dead end job, and gets taken on the ride of his life. You recall the night club scene, when he was asked to go in posing as Tom Cruise's character? It was automatic the way he went from cabbie to stone faced killer in his approach.
Frankenstein just didn't do it for me, guys. I'm willing to bet that "Ray" and "Redemption" had something to do with the nominators choices.
The visual effects nominations have been the ones that pissed me off most, and this year is no exception. They nominate Harry Potter over Sky Captain and the World of Tom.? What the hell is that? Then last year, the Matrix sequels may have not been well received, but you have got to be kidding me that not either one got even a nomination for best special effects. In the end though, it doesn't really matter. All the Oscar's are a bunch of fat old guys giving awards as favors to film groups that suck up to them.

Actually, and this being the reason I despise the awards, Oscars are decided by Hollywood's peers. For instance, Best Director is decided by other prestigeous directors, perhaps a handful of critics and "important people".
If the public doesn't have a say in the award, then **** 'em. That's why MTV Movie Awards will always have more pull, IMO.

haha, yeah right.
The MTV awards are decided by pretentious little turds who watch MTV (I've come to the conclusion that anyone who watches MTV is a moron, and if they aren't when they start watching MTV, then they will be AFTER watching it) and who think movies like White Chicks is good comedy.
At least the oscars are decided by people who know something about movies and use some valid reasons on deciding who recieves a nomination, not idiotic teens who vote for someone because "they're hot".
The MTV awards is the shitstain of award shows.
carradine has a very basic performance jamie foxx way out did the performance of one of the biggest stars in the world and did an outstanding job.. i think he wins or perhaps clive owen because he had a very good performance as well.. foxx also did great in Ray but Leo did good as well I hope foxx wins but it wouldnt be a shame if Leo did because he did do a good job.. i think a lot of you need to get past the fact that maybe you didnt like a movie.. actors can still have a great performance in a movie you didnt like
