Good to see "A History of Violence" get a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination. Of course, it will go to "Brokeback Mountain". Shame to see Cronenberg didn't get nominated for best director. Also, while he was only in it for a few minutes, William Hurt deserves his best supporting actor nomination.
I hope "Wallace and Gromit" wins best animated picture. I liked "Howl's Moving Castle", but Miyazaki already has an Oscar. Plus, I really didn't like "Corpse Bride" very much.
I saw "Brokeback Mountain" the other day. It's good, but nowhere near as good as eveyone keeps saying it is. Of course, it will most likely take most of the Oscars, but it's not deserving.
I really hope Hoffman wins for best actor, he really deserves it. Best supporting actor is hard for me to choose though. Maria Bello should have gotten a best actress nomination, and Viggo Mortensen should have gotten a best actor nomination. Yes, I did really love "A History of Violence". I hope Reese Witherspoon wins best actress though, and that Catherine Keener wins best supporting actress.
