[Guest Mattdotcom]

Holy God, a quadruple topic post?

[Guest Mattdotcom]

Ah, I read the explanation. Carry on.

[Guest converge241]

i wish some of these would come out so i can see them and judge for myself

 

i know LOTR just came and Adaptation and Gangs are on the way

 

whats the deal with Schmidt? ive been waiting to see that after i saw a blurb about it months ago... the trailer was great too

[Guest Vern Gagne]

The Simpson's was nominated for best Comedy. Where was the nomination 8 years ago when the show was in it's prime.

[Guest Choken One]

I might as well...Here MY personal pick

 

 

Best Picture (Drama)

 

Gangs of New York

 

 

 

*Haven't seen any of these yet but I'll likely say Gangs will take me over

 

 

Best Picture (Comedy/Musical)

 

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

 

 

*The only One I've seen and NOWAY will they be denied the award.

 

Best Director

Stephen Daldry, The Hours

Peter Jackson, LOTR:Two Towers

Spike Jonze, Adaptation

Rob Marshall, Chicago

Alexander Payne, About Schmidt

Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York

 

*Haven't seen any yet but Likely They'll screw Scorsese and give it to Jonze.

 

 

Best Actor (Comedy/Musical)

Nicolas Cage, Adaptation

Kieran Culkin, Igby Goes Down

Richard Gere, Chicago

Hugh Grant, About A Boy

Adam Sandler, Punch Drunk Love

 

*I've only seen Culkin, Grant and Sandler and I didn't get wowed over by any of those, So, Expect Cage to win for HIS bizzare performence.

 

Best Actor (Drama)

Adrien Brody, The Pianist

Michael Caine, The Quiet American

Daniel Day Lewis, Gangs of New York

Leonardo Dicaprio, Catch Me If You Can

Jack Nicholson, About Schmidt

 

*Seen NONE of these but Leo ani't winning, Caine is too dull for my tastes, Never heard of Brody, Jack been there too much, go with Lewis.

 

Best Actress (Comedy/Musical)

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Secretary

Goldie Hawn, The Banger Sisters

Nia Vardalos, My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Rene Zellwegger, Chicago

Caterine Zeta-Jones, Chicago

 

*How did Hawn in Banger sisters get nomed? I'm sure they was a better female in a comedy this year. The Chicago girls cancel each other out, I have NO idea what Secretary is, so I'm going with Vardalos who gave a good show.

 

Best Actress (Drama)

Salma Hayek, Frida

Nicole Kidman, The Hours

Diane Lane, Unfaithful

Julianne Moore, Far From Heaven

Meryl Streep, The Hours

 

*Salma Hayek got nomed? Wow. Kidman and Streep cancel each other, Lane was too sexual for the academy to go with, leaving Popular Moore to win it.

 

Best Screenplay (Orignal or Adapted)

Chicago

The Hours

Far From Heaven

Adaptation

About Schimdt

 

*I haven't read the screenplays nor seen the movies, so I can't comment on this one, but I expect them to go with Far from heaven.

 

Best Supporting Actor

Chris Cooper, Adaptation

Ed Harris, The Hours

Paul Newman, Road to Perdition

Dennis Quaid, Far From Heaven

John C. Rielly, Chicago

 

*I love Rielly, HATE Newman, Quaid is having a career year, So I'll go with him.

 

Best Supporting Actress

Kathy Bates, About Schmidt

Cameron Diaz, Gangs of New York

Queen Latifa, Chicago

Susan Sarandan, Igby Goes Down

Meryl Streep, Adaptation

 

*Can't they kill Streep for once? They aren't taking a Rap star for this award...Sarandan wasn't that good, and that leaves Bates and Diaz, I'll wink in Bates favor.

 

Here are the TV nods:

Drama Series:

24, Fox

The Shield, FX

Six Feet Under, HBO

The Sopranos, HBO

The West Wing, NBC.

 

*Hardest one to pick, 24, Shield, Sopranos are my 3 favorite shows, however, W.W was somewhat weak this year, so was Sopranos, Six feet under was good, I'd vote for The Shield but I expect them to lean to 6feetunder.

 

Actress, Drama:

Edie Falco, The Sopranos

Jennifer Garner, Alias

Rachel Griffiths, Six Feet Under

Marg Helgenberger, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Allison Janney, The West Wing

 

*Falco was too bitchy for my taste, Garner is OVERrated, Janney is blah, Helgenberger isn't a actress on CSI...leaves with Griffiths to win it.

 

Actor, Drama:

Michael Chiklis The Shield

James Gandolfini, The Sopranos

Peter Krause, Six Feet Under

Martin Sheen, The West Wing

Kiefer Sutherland, 24

 

*I expect them to go against conventional wisdom and NOT pick Gandolfini, Sheen won't get it, either will Krause...so I am torn between Chiklis and Sutherland...I'll tap Sutherland.

 

Musical or Comedy Series:

Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO

Friends, NBC

Sex and the City, HBO

The Simpsons, Fox

Will & Grace, NBC

 

*W&G will not win, Sex was too short this year, Simpsons sadly does not deserve this when it should go to Scrubs or Fraiser. The winner should be Curb but It'll get the Larry Sanders treatment...leaving Friends to pick up the award.

 

Actress, Musical or Comedy Series:

Jennifer Aniston, Friends

Bonnie Hunt, Life with Bonnie

Jane Kaczmarek, Malcolm in the Middle

Debra Messing, Will & Grace

Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and the City

 

*SJP has run her course, Hunt wasn't that golden, Kaczmerk is eh leaving us with Messing to win out.

 

Actor, Musical or Comedy Series:

Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm

Matt LeBlanc, Friends

Bernie Mac, The Bernie Mac Show

Eric McCormack, Will & Grace

Tony Shalhoub, Monk

 

*LeBlanc deserves this award, David isn't really acting on Curb, Bernie has been off this year, The darkhouse is Shalhoub...

 

Miniseries or TV Movie:

The Gathering Storm, HBO

Live from Baghdad, HBO

Path to War, HBO

Shackleton, A&E

Steven Spielberg Presents: Taken, Sci Fi

 

*This is easy, Live from Baghdad OWNed all the other movies. Door to Door should replace Taken.

 

Actress, Miniseries or TV Movie:

Helena Bonham Carter, Live from Baghdad

Shirley MacLaine, Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay

Helen Mirren, Door to Door

Vanessa Redgrave, The Gathering Storm

Uma Thurman, Hysterical Blindness

 

*I'll go with Carter but I haven't seen MacLaine or Thurman.

 

Actor, Miniseries or TV Movie:

Albert Finney, The Gathering Storm

Michael Gambon, Path to War

Michael Keaton, Live from Baghdad

William H. Macy, Door to Door

Linus Roache, RFK

 

*Keaton was good, but Macy was Superb.

 

Supporting Actress, Series, Miniseries or TV Movie:

Kim Cattrall, Sex and the City

Megan Mullally, Will & Grace

Cynthia Nixon, Sex and the City

Parker Posey, Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay

Gena Rowlands, Hysterical Blindness

 

*This goes to Mullally.

 

Supporting Actor, Series, Miniseries or TV Movie:

Alec Baldwin, Path to War

Jim Broadbent, The Gathering Storm

Bryan Cranston, Malcolm in the Middle

Sean Hayes, Will & Grace

Dennis Haysbert, 24

Michael Imperioli, The Sopranos

John Spencer, The West Wing

Donald Sutherland, Path to War

Bradley Whitford, The West Wing

 

*Nine Noms? Isn;t Sutherland Deceased? Imperioli was good but not great, Haysbert was great and should win, However, They'll hand it over to Sean Hayes.

 

Pretty good nominations, nothing outright scandalous.
