2005 Oscar Nominations + Winners

No doubt the Best Picture should go to "Sideways", and I am pulling for an Oscar for Virginia Madsen as Best Supporting Actress.

Err.."Sideways" had a lot of competition.

Totally surprised to see "Million Dollar Baby" beat "The Aviator", in the same token, ecstatic, because I loved "MDB".

TOTALLY stoked Charlie Kaufman won for Best Screenplay. It's about time people realized the genius in his work, save "Adaptation". Blech.

I think sideways should have definately won best pictures, an amazing movie that combined comedy and drama flawlessly, something very few movies do well.

Sideways wasnt that good of a movie... practically Sideways was about a guy going through mid life crises- and drinking tons and tons of whine

I thought Million Dollar Baby was overrated

Yes!!! Jamie Foxx won for best actor and Morgan Freeman won for best supporting actor. Yeah!!!! clap 💃

It was a long time coming for Morgan Freeman, I'm glad he finally got it and it's amazing how far both Jamie Foxx and Jim Carey have gone from 'In Living Color' to the careers they're having now. I mean Foxx went from playing a ridiculous character like Wanda 😂 to playing an important iconic figure and all time great in Ray Charles.

Dont know if its been posted already, but hee ae the winners!
