I watched the nominations live before heading out the door this morning. I'm glad I did, too.
No BIG surprises, but some pleasant ones. Also some not-so-pleasant ones, though.
Thoughts:
- Clint Eastwood! I called it last night. 
- I was JUST thinking about Mike Leigh's chances about a week ago. I should have posted something. Then I would have been awesome.
- Kate Winslet.
- The Village for best score? That's right.
- Shark Tale? Shark TALE? SHARK TALE? They're kidding, right? I'm going to pretend they are.
- Lemony Snicket! Who woulda thunk! (well, I guess it makes sense)
I'm plesed, though.
Let the dirty campaigns begin.

Levy wrote: A question for the US guys in here: Do you expect excessive campaigning from the religious and conservative front against Vera Drake since it tackles the hot topic abortion? And if yes, do you expect it to hurt or increase the movie's chances (increasing in the way that the Academy wants to show that they won't bend to those attacks and therefore vote for Vera Drake) Levy, both pro-abortion and anti=abortion groups supported this film.
Amazingly, both sides gave it a passing grade, so no worries at all. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs.

Alda was lucky to get a nod, imo. He just wasn't that good. I'm willing to go as far as to say Kate B. was just as good as he was. Hayden-Church might win, but I think it'll come down to Freeman vs. Owen.

I really hope either Clive Owen or Morgan Freeman can get it. I thought Thomas Haden Church was great; however, Morgan Freeman was quietly wonderful while Clive Owen was explosive.
It's a shame more people haven't seen Closer. Clive Owen and Natalie Portman were both fantastic, and it seems like they're just finally getting recognized.

Haha...I knew you were going to say something about that the moment I saw you had posted. :razz: Well, I guess I'm trying to say that Alan doesn't deserve a nod, because he just wasn't that good.
And I'm with you about Closer. Sony should've released it to more theaters. Hopefully more people will catch it on DVD.

It's a good way for Clive to leave 2004. With King Arthur, it could have been a much more devistating time.
