PEACE, Mike.

still find it funny that they didn't support one of their own > Keira in P&P > who at least got an Oscar nomination for that role.

They also did not award Brit Sam Mendes eventhough American Beauty won.

Are they on at your area first?

I'm just getting them from Oscarwatch.

More winners:

Animated - Wallace and Gromit
Original Screenplay - Paul Haggis, Bobbie Moresco - Crash (blehhhhhhhh - the one blemish out of these good awards so far)
Film not in the English Language - The Beat that My Heart Skipped
Best Supporting Actress - Thandie Newton, Crash

PEACE, Mike.

Awful choices.

Okay, i'll just let you do it then..

Witherspoon won.

She has easily secured her win at the Oscars (not that she didn't already).

PEACE, Mike.

Full list, thus far:

Best Actress - Reese Witherspoon, Walk the Line
Best Director - Ang Lee, Brokeback Mountain
Best Supporting Actress - Thandie Newton, Crash
Best Supporting Actor - Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain
Animated - Wallace and Gromit
Original Screenplay - Paul Haggis, Bobbie Moresco - Crash
Production Design - Harry Potter
Best Score - John Williams, Memoirs of a Geisha
Best Editing - The Constant Gardener
Best Cinematography - Memoirs of a Geisha
Visual Effects - King Kong
Carl Foreman Award - Joe Wright
Film not in the English Language - The Beat that My Heart Skipped

PEACE, Mike.

What is weird is that both Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams lost. Neither has gotten an extra push here to perhaps show us who might win at the Oscars.

PEACE, Mike.

but Thandie Newton, Crash has British ties > she lived and maybe still lives there and her father is British.

**************

does anyone have the nominations to post.

and Rachel Weitz, as I thought, was nominated for Actress > wonder what would have happened if it was Supporting?

PEACE, Mike.

PEACE, Mike.

LOL!!!

As does Rachel.

"Best Picture - Brokeback Mountain"..........1,2,3.....YES!!!!

Best Supporting Actor - Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain
Best Director - Ang Lee, Brokeback Mountain
Adapted Screenplay - Brokeback Mountain

:):):):):):):):)

Rachel McAdams or Michelle Williams should have won Rising Star

Gyllenhaal got the boost he needed to win the Oscar, Witherspoon and Hoffman seem more than locked now, and Weisz is probably winning too (she'd have won if she was supporting, I think)...


I'm just surprised to see Geisha winning Cinematography (and losing Production Design to Potter), against such strong competition...

the rest was kinda predictable, in a good way for the most part...

Gyllenhall is in prime position now. Best Supporting Actor is so up in the air. George with the Globe, Paul with the SAG, Jake with the BAFTA. And I wouldn't count out Matt Dillon either.

Yeah, the Best Supporting Actor category is certainly getting more and more interesting.

Thandie Newton's win confirms my opinion of that she was snubbed for an Oscar nom! She was much better than, say, Frances McDormand.

Jake!!

Personally, I don't think so > no Oscar effect > the Brits just screwed it up starting with not putting Rachel W in the supporting category.

Who won adapted screenplay?
