2005 Oscar Nominations + Winners

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.

MTV awards are horrible yes, but Oscars aren't any better. In the MTV awards you have a bunch of teenage girls voting for whatever movie Orlando Bloom is in, but in the Oscars you have people voting based on the politics of the industry. Either way, they aren't fair or just award shows, so that's why I don't care one way or the other.

The oscars are based on what they actually think is the best, using valid reasoning (usually) behind their picks.

Don't get me wrong, I don't usually watch the oscars, and I certainly don't care about them at all, but they have alot more credability then some shitty MTV awards.

Oscars seem like a popularity contest anymore... they rarely give an Oscar to someone who deserves it - or nominated someone who deserves it

I was angry when I found out that Dave Carradine didnt get a supporting actor role, but I was just SICKENED to find out kill bill II didnt get ANY oscar nods at all. Carradine's performance as Bill was incredible. blashpemy

^ I agree- even Uma should have gotten a chance??? maybe???

Uma was outnumbered by too many good performances.

Do you know how much I hate this?!?! Do you?!

I absolutely agree with you. Movies, good movies, WILL NOT get recognised on MTV. Never have, and they never will.

Plus, MTV these days is shit - utter and absolute, and I do not understand anyone who would want to watch it.

Once, while while back, MTV was amazing - those days are gone, now its utter crap and i cant see it getting any better.

I guess youre right, but cmon-no oscar nods at all?
I think this is primarily becuase the oscar crew is a bunch of old men who cant accept anything new or original-this is why they didnt like eternal sunshine either

loved Eternal Sunshine

I hate MTV - they never play any good videos anymore- and their shows are terrible

Either way, both awards shows are biased as hell, and if I were a filmmaker, they'd mean nothing to me.

the oscars may be biased, but theyre no grammys...

grammys seem no different than the oscars sometimes?????

Who exactly nominates acts for the Grammys? Is there not an ACTUAL award that is decided by movie goers and those who purchase CD's, other than like, SOUNDSCAN Awards?!

why I hate the grammys-2 words:
Jethro Tull

I think everyone agrees that the grammy's are just a time waster.

So, who else wont be watching the oscars?

I didnt watch the Oscars last year and I doubt I will watch them this year

I think Haille Berry ruined it for me when she did all that crying bit and blah blah blah stuff

It couldnt get nominated because it was already shown on TV. I Reda that. Wasnt it shown in America, too? In germany it was. i wtached it and it was good. 😠

(well best pic was kinda unrealistic... 😕 )

it was already shown on TV?

Michael Moore was a little ahead of himself thinking it was going to be nominated for best pic...tss 🙄
