Jay’s Oscar Musings (aka Aviator ain’t that damn good)
January 26, 2005 | 7:20 pmThis year’s Oscar nominees are not that big of a surprise, but I need to deal with the immense lack of judgement displayed by these Yahoos. Triflin’ Aviator lovin’ asses…
(All of this is written without having seen Million Dollar Baby…yes, I don’t live in a real city. I’ll make it a given that all of its nominations deserve to be there for now…)
Update (1/29/05): Saw Million Dollar Baby last night. It is everything people have been saying about it. Fantastic Movie. Easily 4 stars.
Best Picture Snub: Hotel Rwanda
(Such a powerful, important movie ignored over the overrated Aviator…bleh!)Best Actor Snub: Paul Giamatti (in Sideways)
(The man still gets no respect! I’d take him over Leonardo and Depp)Best Animated Film: The Polar Express
(C’mon…nominate Shark’s Tale? Are they high?)Best Visual Effects: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
(There’s was nothing that looked remotely as cool this movie this year…)Overall Snubs: No big nominations for Baadasssss! or Kinsey. (Tragedy!)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind probably should seen some best picture action too….






Best Actor Snub: Paul Giamatti (in Sideways)

Hey, I love the guy too, but don’t make me choose between him and Depp, PLEASE! :)
