BKB I think you just like to say BS you dont even belive is true, you just say things just to rile people up, that has to be it, otherwise you're just crazy.  I did enjoy MYSTIC RIVER, but if I had seen this movie at the time it was Nominated, I wouldn't of thought it was BEST PICTURE Material.. Not at all... Lost in Translation is the definition of overpraised and I can actually say that, seeing as i've actually seen it. You cant judge a movie before you see it, sorry. Unless you wanna look like a dumbass :wink: Lol I agree with ROTK, they're decent flicks - but just didnt do it for me. Though I did love Ray, I just dont think it's oscar material ( except for Jamie Foxx's performance ) It's pretty sad Ray got nominated for best picture instead of Hotel Rwanda, though it wouldnt of had a chance to win - but I dont think Ray does either, odds are it'll probably come in 4th or 5th in the voting. You never know though  He'll live to do another film again 1 day like it's no big deal.._________________http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer..

Well Eastwood lost last year for Mystic River ( both best picture and best director ) im sure he'd be hurt if he didnt get recognized for atleast one of those catagories ( making two great best picture nominated movies in a row and not winning either time would hurt anyone ), and Ray wasnt great because it had a fantastic script or fantastic directing it was great because of Jamie Foxx, he put the movie on his back with his performance. Honestly, if it wasnt for him the movie would just be another ordinary biopic of a artist who's life is basically like any other celebrity that went through their ups and downs.

The Man may of had his Dark side to him when it came to being addicted to Heroin and all, but in the end, he was very much looked up to and I think the Academy would appreciate something like this over a movie like MDB with a Director who's no stranger to winning a BEST DIRECTOR Oscar before like Clint Eastwood and his MYSTIC RIVER.. It just has a been there, done that feel to it and would be nice if someone else got the recognition this time.. I know, I know, Clint Eastwood is an Academy's favorite and all, but come on.. You think Eastwood will suffer if he doesn't get the nod or his movie MDB not winning BEST PICTURE??? He'll live to do another film again 1 day like it's no big deal.. Yeah, well, the Grammy Awards are voted on by the music industry, which Ray Charles was a part of. He's loved by academy members as much as any music legend, but it's not like he's one of their own like he is to the music industry. A Best Actor award will be all the tribute that Ray gets.
Ebert pretty much nailed those predictions, as they are close to my own, and close to what many are predicting. There may be a suprise or two, but there won't be any stunning winners coming out of nowhere.

White Noise and Alien vs. Predator are horrible, awful films.
I haven't seen them, though. I'm just, yanno, assuming. And I don't have to see either of them to think otherwise. They're not really my concern.
There's my rendition.

My mom will weep if Ebert's right. She HATED Million Dollar Baby (she saw it two days ago). She gets a bit squeamish, I guess...
On the other hand, I'll be uber pleased if M$B wins

The only Ebert prediction which doesn't really make sense to me is Cate Blanchetts.
She seems to be more of a lock than Swank and Freeman at this point.

I was listening to the Great Howard Stern Radio Show this morning and he said he saw MDB and said it was really good and that Eastwood did a really good job with the movie, but he also saw RAY and said that this film and Jamie Foxx were Fantastic and that if he had to honestly pick 1 to win for BEST PICTURE despite how good both films are, he'd choose RAY to win BEST PICTURE for the mere fact that Jamie Foxx had to work alot harder than Clint Eastwood in bringing this movie and character of Ray Charles to life and he did just that and for that feat alone, it deserves BEST PICTURE.. I agree with him on all points.. It was alot harder for Jamie Foxx to bring this role to life like this and for Clint Eastwood, MDB was a cake walk.. I say RAY Takes it and if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong but I don't think I am on this.. Both films will be honored in some way, so it's not like any of the films are gonna go unnoticed..

Jamie Foxx "Ray" = Acted
Clint Eastwood "Million Dollar Baby" = Acted, directed, produced, scored
That's 4 to 1 by my scorecard.

Roger Ebert is the second guest on Conan tonight. The first guest...Hilary Swank. I wonder how that was worked out , to have M$B's biggest supporter on the same show as the lead actress. Oscar ballots still are out there, and everything just seems to be falling in line for M$B. :grin:

Well, Ebert had barely sat down, the first words out of his mouth were "She was so good , and she's going to win Best Actress". He went on to say that M$B will win, because it takes your heart, and those are the kinds of movies that the academy votes for.
When asked about Scorcese, he said the safe bet is with Clint Eastwood, since he won the DGA, but Scorcese could win it. The scenerio that he gave, is that they could give best director to Marty, and best actor to Clint. He said they are both great directors, but Marty has never one, and it is time he did.

Roeper - Don Cheadle
Best Actress
Ebert - Hilary Swank
Roeper - Kate Winslet
Best Supporting Actor
Ebert - Morgan Freeman
Roeper - Alan Alda
Best Supporting Actress
