I could see someone not liking Walk the Line if they don't like country.

 

The new religious type ads for Walk The Line are pretty annoying.

That'd be weak reasoning, though. I dislike country, but loved WtL. I'm not a big fan of soul and R&B, but loved Ray. A good movie's a good movie and anyone with anything resembling an open mind shouldn't let their indifference or dislike towards something from skewing their opinions.

I saw Capote yeasterday, and Hoffman fucking deserves it. Holy shit, he was fantastic. Also, Terrence Howard should've been nominated for Crash instead of Hustle and Flow.

 

I wouldn't be suprised if they gave Giamatti BSA since they screwed him twice already.

 

I hope Giamatti doesn't get the "we screwed up, here take this", before Carrey does.

 

Carrey got screwed harder.

My sister-in-law's husband is a country music fan, though. My wife thinks he just said he'd watched the movie so her sister wouldn't know where (she suspects) he really was...

was Walk the line anything like Ray or Ali? There's a certain style of bio-pic that's really tiresome to me, and those two are prime examples of the kind of movie i'm talking about, and so far that's kept me away from Walk the Line. Very sick of biopics unless they offer something unique.

 

As far as the awards go, I've only seen "Good Night and Good Luck", which was pretty good but probably not best picture material. However I'm not one of those fools who think, just because I dont like the subject matter or wasnt interested in seeing them, that its not best picture material. i always laugh when someone complains about movies in a critic or award list beings ones they never heard of, as if you're the center of the universe.

The only movies I've seen out of all the movies represented in one form or another were Crash (Which won't win anything) and Constant Gardener (I can see Rachel Weisz winning best Supporting Actress..)

 

I do want to rent A History of Violence and Good Night.. when they come out and I'll probably end up renting Capote and Syriana as well.

WTL, was good and more uplifting then Ray was. Musically, it was pretty good as Joaquin actually performed when Foxx, didn't.

 

It's a good story, good musical performence and good acting from the two stars.

Something tells me Carrey better hope he gets to star in a movie at the age of 85, cause that's the only way he'll get a nod. The pity "we screwed you when you deserved the nod but now you're old and dying so here you go" award.

I didn't say it was a good reason, but I could see it happening.

 

I didn't think Ray was that good. Jamie Foxx was good and the music was great but the movie itself, I didn't like.

I just wish it would be Munich or Crash, but we all know it'd probably be Brokeback Mountain.

What the fuck? William Hurt's performance was nominated? He was on-screen for like 5 minutes!

 

AND Giamatti has to wait another year for an Oscar. Poor guy.

Best acceptance speech of the night, I bet.

 

EDIT: (George Clooney, I mean.)

Hmm, that's interesting I was just about to say she looks like she's starting to get pretty old nowadays..

Joaquin Phoenix looked like he wanted to punch Jon Stewart after the "Ray with white people" joke.

 

Joaquin Phoenix, always looks like he wants to punch Jon Stewart.
