It is a bit early seeing how some movies for the Oscar race haven't come out yet, but so far, what do you think is going to do well?

I don't think Ian McKellan will get a nod.

 

Kill Bill should get a Best Picture nod, but I doubt it will happen. It should get some kind of nod, maybe even orignal screenplay.

Im starting to think that maybe Return of the King isn't such a lock for best picture. Everyone's like "It will get best picture more or less because of the first two" but Im not seeing it.

 

Side note: I have got to believe that FOX is somehow behind that Paris Hilton tape, its almost too good free publicity for their new show with her in it...

This is looking to be a very week Oscar year, so I think that Return of the King and Peter Jackson have very good chances at awards. However, I don't think the academy will just hand them trophies for all three films as a whole. They've never done that with a film series. The new movie will have to stand on its own.

Not for Pirates, it's a comedy and the academy doesn't like the funny.

 

Matrix/LOTR will get a nod for special effects, along with X2.

That's not true...it's just rare for comedies to be Oscar worthy and/or Oscar friendly. Besides Pirates wasn't a comedy, twas an action and adventure. Depp won't get an nomination for either.

 

Kill Bill may win a few Tech Oscars and maybe screenplay. Hulk should get an editing nod, because I liked the comic panels.

We should be doing this thread in January, when all the movies have been seen. What is up with this?

 

Shoudln't really expect more from Smartmarks least intelligent poster.

Pirates was a action/comedy, kind of like MIB but was actually good.

 

X2 for best action movie with an actual script and best sequel.

If they had an award for best action movie, it should get it. I think the MTV awards do though.

If you read what I wrote in the beginning of the thread:

Plus EW has already done an Oscar Predictions article, so I figured that TSM would too.

 

Some thoughts they made on the Oscars. I'm not going to type all of the things they said because that would take too long.

 

Best Picture:

Return of the King

Cold Mountain

The Last Samurai

Master and Commander

Mystic River

Lost in Translation

Seabiscuit

House of Sand and Fog

21 Grams

The Missing

 

Best Actor:

Sean Penn - Mystic River

Bill Murray - Lost in Translation

Ben Kingsley - House of Sand and Fog

Michael Caine - The Statement

Lude Jaw - Cold Mountain

Russel Crowe - Master and Commander

The Last Samurai - Tom Cruise

Anthony Hopkins - The Human Stain

Jack Nicholson - Something's Gotta Give

 

Best Actress:

Nicole Kidman - Cold Mountain

Diane Keaton - Something's Gotta Give

Naomi Watts - 21 Grams

Jennifer Connelly - House of Sand and Fog

Gwyneth Paltrow - Sylvia

Diane Lane - Under the Tuscan Sun

Samantha Morton - In America

 

If I'm not lazy, I'll do other the other contenders.

The difference is...as a magazine and as reviewers, these people have seen the movies already. We, as common movie ticket buying people, have not. We should wait until we've seen the flicks to pass judgment.

They haven't see all of the movies, as in Return of the King. They are speculating just like we are. Besides, everyone is a reviewer when it comes down to it.
