Re: The biggest not Reader-related surprise of the noms? Christian, is your dad a homosexual, or merely a good-for-nothing hipster?

I'd go with only three Song nominees. Has that ever happened before? Was there not enough eligible songs to make it a five nominee category?
What a joke. It happened three years ago actually. Only 3 made it (Traveling Thru, In the Deep, and It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp). It happened in 1988 too (which ironically, Bruce Springstein won that year). The way the best song category works is that you have to rate a song from one to ten, then they get the mean (or average for those who don't know math). The magic number is at 8.6. You have to pass that number to get a nod. In this case, only three songs made it past that magic number. There may more than 5 that pass it, but only the top ones will make it. But this year, only three made it past the magic 8.6 number. It's a ridiculous method of voting, I know. Hehe, the song from Working Girl won in 1988. The Boss wasn't nominated. _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

Would they even bother with the category? _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same. Algren wrote: I don't think. I predict.

Re: 2nd Biggest Surprise of the Nominations? Gunslinger wrote: Michael Shannon To elaborate: as great as he is in the film, I figured he would only be nominated if there was a wave of support for the film itself (Picture, DiCaprio, Winslet, Mendes, the adapted screenplay). I am very surprised he ended up being the lone "Road" nomination in the top categories, since the role is so small (though very memorable!). It's a nice surprise seeing as he *owns* his few scenes in the film. _________________   1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5. Detroit - 6.

Oops, your right, I was thinking of the wrong year. The Boss won in 1993. _________________Visit My Youtube Account and here is what you will see.    and many more.

Re: The biggest not Reader-related surprise of the noms? Hey, we don't know which film The Reader has pushed aside. Might have been WALL-E too...at least that got a Screenplay nom!
