OSCAR NOMINEES ANNOUNCED!

[*Agent Legolas*]

I was so excited and happy when I found out that ROTK was up for 11 nom! But I am happiest about Johnny being nominated. He's finally getting the recognition he deserves, even though he should have gotten it a long time ago. ^_^

 

[Aliasfan13]

I have yet to see it

 

[SecretAgentMan]

yay go LOTR! I predict at least 7 oscar wins, including best picture.

 

[SiriCerasi]

:kicking:

It had DAMN well better win this time.

I didn't see Seabiscut, I've heard ppl say it was amazing or terrible

 

[SecretAgentMan]

I havent' watched it yet either. I've got it at home, waiting to be watched lol.

 

[Quiet Disaster]

i never saw seabiscuit either. i liked tobey in the cider house rules so i think he shouldn't be disappointing in seabiscuit...

 

[mystery_chick]

But I don't think it really has a chance of winning best picture. They'll just be happy with the nomination.

ha! no way in hell Seabiscuit would be LOTR for best picture. The Academy have denied LOTR for 2 years already, they better get on with it and give them the award! But I thought Toby Mcguire did an amazing job, especially that part where he just gotten beaten by the horse from the outside and he said he couldnt' see so sad

Siri: if you ever read Throughbred and liked them you'll more than likely like Seabiscuit

I've pretty much said why I'm not to happy with the Oscars but as long as I get my Cold Mountain on DVD by sometime this summer if it is out by then, I'll be happy lol.

 

[AlohaSpy]

I am SOOO happy!! Keisha-Castle Hughes for Best Actress!!! I freaked when my dad told me! I think Whalerider should be up for Best Adapted Screenplay, but its not....I hope Lost In Translation doesn't win anything. I saw it, and I usually like the weird, independent movies...but I HATED Lost in Translation..I thought it tried too hard and was completely pointless.

 

[AgentSaila47]

Yay for LOTR! It better win. It's the best movie I've ever seen!

 

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

I want LOTR's to lose............so I can see all the nerds go NUTS!

I refuse to see any of those movies.......I hate the "geekish" stuff......like the Matriz, Star Wars, etc etc

~~Spongy!

 

[Victoria King]

HEY! im one of those "nerds"!!!!!

and us nerds are cool!!! but i am proud of my complete Geekdom! yes i am not afraid to say i am obsessed and a pure geek of LOTR! :makefun: :lol:

 

[mystery_chick]

Spongy! Are you saying you've never seen LOTR?! :thud:
--Mandy

 

[SiriCerasi]

[Gendo]
