I figure with the success of the top 10 movies thread, I would start a thread where we could discuss who we think will be nominated for Oscars this year, and who we think will be nominated. So, have at it!

Tommy Dreamer says that if he doesn't win the ECW Championship by June, he'll retire. Huh, this storyline intrigues me

Come on Scroby, RAW's been on for 90 minutes. I hope Regal gets in. He's only been in one RR.

And the SAGs!

Thanks for your excellent contribution to this thread, JN News. I really appreciate your posts and your thoughts on the inner workings of WWE.

Ray really isn't that good. Walk The Line is fantastic.

Yea, I don't like it. I'm retarded, so it will probably take me a while to figure out how to change it what the original size was. Edit: Now it looks better

I don't think it's homerism at all. McGriff is borderline, but I could see him in the Hall. That magical 500 HR is just out of reach, but otherwise the numbers are strong. He's not a lock, but if you squint hard enough you could probably put him in. What will hurt him is playing in the PED era, where the power numbers don't look as good and the contemporaries were so over-the-top that he doesn't seem that special. It was more homerism b/c I'm not going to argue whether his stats merit it or not- he's my favourite Braves hitter. The guy had a streak of 30 HR seasons, that's pretty impressive. Given that he and the ump became good friends, I don't think so. Besides the spitting incident, wasn't Alomar known for being kind of a dick?

How did John Burkett not make the ballot, yet Ron Gant did? This is blantant homerism, but Crime Dog should be in the HOF. I wonder how much Alomar shitting the bed when he was traded to NY will hurt him

I think that's just local sportswriters voting for a guy as a favour. I remember one pitcher a few years ago campaigned for one vote...and got it. Someone's got to find the al v. frigid Jim Rice debates. Great stuff

I was at the Sharks game and the Canucks actually looked good despite the loss, especially compared to recent games. That St Louis game was just atrocious. The thing that worries me is that if they keep playing the way they do, Luongo coming back isn't going to make a difference. Everyone seems to be assuming that things will get better when he returns since they were kicking ass right up until he got injured and then started sucking it, but if they can't get the fucking puck out of their own end and having pathetic giveaways then having a great goalie isn't going to fix it. Oh and I don't know if it was shown on TV, but Sundin got like a 3 minute standing ovation after his first goal. Awesome, another Nucks fan. I've been saying the same thing- Luongo coming back is great, but he can't stand on his head every game when the team just comes out flat. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed their pathetic attempts at clearing the puck.

I guess being the all-time 90s hit leader (Mark Grace) doesn't get you much

As I said in the other thread- Who voted for Mo Vaughn? Who didn't vote for Ricky Henderso? Aren't there some sports writers who won't vote anyone in first ballot? and one more question- When did Jim Rice become the cause to champion?

Who voted for Mo Vaughn? Who didn't vote for Ricky Henderson?

I think alkeiper's going to have a stroke

I'm almost done catching up with my reviews. The Urkel Dance episode of Family Matters was on last night. I could watch that episode all day

The only reason I could see Ledger not winning is because the Supporting Actor/Actress categories are where the Academy likes to fuck around the most and have an upset. (see Arkin over Eddie, Marisa Tomei, Juliett Binoche over Lauren Bacall)

I'm very sensitive about the NCAA Finals. I'm very slowly getting over it, and that's only b/c Coach Cal implored everyone too

Well it IS her daughter.

Why should he thank ROH? Aranofsky would be the one to thank them if he won anything I guess.

This is going to be a great game, Tulsa's not going to be an easy opponent.

Yea, I think Winslet winning two was just because they felt sorry for her. I thought she was great in Rev Road (as was Leo), but I couldn't get into The Reader.

Memphis escaped with one at Central Florida over the weekend. Apparently fans chanted Mario Chalmers during the pregame warmups, stay classy Central Florida.

Slayer Kinetic Agent Treble

I know. EHME doesn't look like the hard ass nigger he portrays himself as
