Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
I really think Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon should pick up Oscars for Walk the Line. They were awesome.
I really liked Memoirs of a Geisha (I probably would have thought the movie was better if I didn't read the book). But I thought that the scenes were shot beautifully. So I think Memoirs should win for the arty Oscars like Art Direction, Cinematography (but that's a toss up with Brokeback) and Costume Design.
Brokeback I think will probably get original score, adapted screenplay, best director and possibly best picture. But I really think Crash was so well done that it's going to give Brokeback a run for its money. Crash should definitely get original screenplay and best editing though, just because it tied up so many different plots into one good story.
Tom Cruise is probably going to be jumping on couches to get some Oscars so that film will probably get something like Sound Editing or Sound Mixing.
And Makeup should go to Sith, just because of how smooth Anakin was turned to the Dark Force.
But the Oscars can be such a crapshoot. I've never guessed right.

I'm usually an avid movie watcher. This year I doubt I watched 3 movies in the theater. I couldn't tell you who is up for an Oscar, let alone give you my opinions of the flick, or the possible outcomes. Bleh …. I need to get out to the movies more next year.
Is this gonna be like the Asylum 2005 awards where everyone voted and then you were to lazy to count them?
Cause if so I aint gonna bother.

Oh yeah...forgot about that. Maybe I'll do those sometime.
Well no, I'll have nothing to do with this, vote on the link and if you're right you can bring me to the awards next year.

I probably would have considered King Kong, but Peter Jackson was recognized so heavily for his work for LOTR, that I don't know if the Academy would recognize his work again but he already produced such a blockbuster.
Am I the only one that's taking Nexa's Oscar question so seriously?

Well I was going to let your girlfriend babysit.
Let me modify my original question:
Now why would I leave my sweet and beautiful girlfriend with a strange child and take a horse out to an awards show?

I could be mistaken, but weren't you working a lot of overtime and participating in much carousing just to get away from that nag? Something about her going somewhere and you finally had the place to yourself and taking a nap or some such nonsense.
One good reason I could think of is that you don't have a pic of you holding down Nexa with a phallus between her legs. Come to Boston and you just might. I'll bring the camera.
Edit: And by "come to Boston" I mean "take her to the Oscars". No, I'm not still in the mindset from the last thread.

I've only seen Crash, which was excellent. I don't get to the movies often and the rest aren't out to rent yet.

Visual Effects:

King Kong is one of the nominees. Like I said before it pushed visual effect technology to the extreme. I never said anything about best picture. My vote still stands.
I am sure that if King Kong felt he was worthy of the nomination that he would have nominated himself. He is King Kong afterall.
Plus the ape has a soft spot (forgive the pun) for homosexual cowboys.

I just came back to see how my predictions went and wow, my predictions were mostly right!
I just thought that Memoirs of Geisha was just beautifully done and it was more artistic than cinematic (how snooty does that sound?). Too bad that the acting and the storyline was a tad skewed.
And I was right about Brokeback getting original score, screenplay, and best director! I was right about Crash for original screenplay and editing!
But I was wrong about the sound and makeup Oscars. Oh well.
But I'm not really surprised that Crash got Best Picture over Brokeback Mountain. I remember when Traffic was nominated and so many people thought that was total crap it didn't win Best Picture, so Crash got it because Traffic didn't.
So the one time that I guessed mostly right for the Oscars is the one time I decide not to enter the office pool.
Edit: added in "it didn't win Best Picture" for Traffic. It wasn't just total crap.

What did you think of Jon Stewart? Anyone else notice the set-down Clooney tried to lay on him right at the show's opening?

I liked the opening where he got that bit with all the past hosts. That was pretty funny. And I was waiting for someone to call him on that part of Hollywood being a cesspool full of sexual gratification and no one being in touch with the real world, or words to that effect. I just didn't think it was going to be George Clooney to say it.
He was an OK host. But anybody besides Billy Crystal or Bob HOpe is going to fall short I think.
