Do you like the nominees? What's your pick for each (main) category? Are you going to watch the show?

I haven't seen an award show in a long time. To show you how long it's been, I don't remember if the Oscars are for music or movies.. Might want to help me out with that as well as the categories. When is it coming on btw?

I don't really care about the movies this time around because, well, the movies weren't to my interest this year and some were just awful to begin with *cough* Memoirs of a Geisha *cough*. The only category that I'm looking forward to is the Best Animated Feature where "The Corpse Bride", "Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit" and "Howl's Moving Castle" are nominated. I'm hoping for "Howl's" but I wouldn't mind "The Corpse Bride" either. I have a feeling it would be "Wallace and Grommit" though. I saw the film and while I thought it was good, I wouldn't say it was to my total liking (even though Grommit won me over and that rollercoaster scene with him and that other dog was side-splitting hilarious!

).

I haven't watched any of the movies in the best movie category, apart from Munich and Good Night, and Good Luck, so I can't have a realistic idea - I'm still waiting to see Ang Lee's movie. I doubt Clooney's or Spielberg's movie will get the award. They're both very controversial, and the Academy rarely let really controversial stuff win anything, apart from movies about Jews in WW II or violence or other minorities that are considered to be "safer"... usually it's just to let people think they're open about these issues while they're not. Brokeback Mountain could win, but I don't know... an Asian director.... about gay cowboys... Seems to be the favourite in many categories though. And gay cowboys for sure are less controversial than terrorism or censorship. But again, could be they'll end giving the most important awards to something more traditional, like Capote or Crash. It's a strange year speaking of nominees... not many typical Hollywood flicks, many movies with some "dangerous" theme.

Anyway I'm going to read the results on Imdb. Watching the whole thing is too boring
