Borat/Cohen isn't nominated? |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by hotangel2(f): 11:15pm On Jan 24, 2007 |
Im wondering why dreamgirls isn't nominated for best picture. And uhmm seun, i dont think movies like BORAT get to the oscars. Then again, academy awards bore me to death. Most of the movies i didn't even watch!!! I still get surprised at the kind of movies they choose for awards. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Free(f): 3:48am On Jan 25, 2007 |
Djimon Hounsou - BLOOD DIAMOND i hope he wins okay to make this short am root for all ma black ppls |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by iice(f): 4:19am On Jan 25, 2007 |
I think Borat got nominated for adapted screenplay. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by justkunmi(m): 8:39pm On Jan 25, 2007 |
yes, borat got nominated. . .the title of that movie is so long. but wat is a movie like that doin in the oscars i wonder wat criteria they use in chosing these movies. and can someone pls tell me wat eddie murphy did to get nominated. Snakes on a plane was also nominated. cant remembet the category now though. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by iice(f): 3:29am On Jan 26, 2007 |
Eddie murphy got nominated for Supporting Actor in a Motion picture. Notice how the best film nominations didnt exactly coincide with the best director nominations? Hmmm i don't know about snakes on a plane, probably the special effects Why is letters from iwo jima in the best movie category and not foreign film category? Isn't the movie like 98% in Japanese/Nihonggo? |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by justkunmi(m): 9:21am On Jan 26, 2007 |
the academy awards is gradully losing its relevance. the awards and eventual winners do not reflect wat the movie watchers themselves have in mind. see wat happened last year. the awards was filled with low gudget movies that were not known until after the awards. i mean, wat was a movie like brokeback mountain doin in the awards?? i saw the movie after the awards and i was tryin to figure out wat they saw in the movie. i think Pans labyrinth got the most nominations. haven't seen it though. i'll make sure i see it before the awards. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by iice(f): 9:29am On Jan 26, 2007 |
Nah dreamgirls got the most nominations. 8 nods for them but not for best pic or best director. Babel follows closely. Pan's labyrinth is good, you should check it out. My own is when will they give Martin Scorsese the best director award. For the past three or four years he has been nominated consecutively and the man hasn't won the damn oscar for best director. LOL i admit heath ledger deserved the nomination for Brokeback. Noticed Leonardo got nominated for Blood Diamond, which i admit his performance was quite good but his performance in The Departed was better. Hay sometimes i wonder whats up with these oscars masef. Am happy for Abigail though (girl in lil miss sunshine) just 10yrs and she got nominated. Bet she's the coolest kid in school now lol. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Seun(m): 2:35pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
yes, borat got nominated. . .the title of that movie is so long.I'm typing this from memory: Cultural Leanings Of America For The Make-Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazhakstan! Every word in that title is supposed to be funny, but I don't understand what "make-benefit" means. but what is a movie like that doin in the oscars i wonder what criteria they use in chosing these movies.It's a very insightful movie that deals with the serious topics of racism and religious prejudice. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by justkunmi(m): 4:51pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
@seun nice one with the title. saw the preview of the movie and promised myself not to see it, no matter wat anybody said. Borat. . .was he not the guy that anchored MTV awards 2 yrs ago Anyone seen THE QUEEN? tha movie is beautiful. i fancy Helen Mirren for best actress although it wold be keenly cotested by merly streep for Devil wears prada, also a good movie. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by iice(f): 6:02pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
Yeah he hosted the Europe MTV awards 2years ago. I hope Helen Mirren wins, she's the favorite to win. Love Meryl Streep but please let her give chance to other people now. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by ThiefOfHearts(f): 6:07pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
Im not particulary excited by these nominees. im glad Dream Girls wasnt added though. Enough with the damn musicals as best pictures. Bad enough with the whole Ray nonsense. iice, I definitely agree with you that Leo should have been nominated in The Departed as opposed to Blood Diamond. He wasnt that good, infact that movie itself was just OK. I do hope Djimon wins though. I am very surprised that Brad was nominated for Babel, Hmm, |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by iice(f): 6:15pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
TOH my sentiments exactly, all these musicals sef i tire. Could barely make it through Chicago lol. And yeah Blood Diamond was just ok. No Brad didn't get nominated for Babel. I doubt Djimon will win, looks like it might be Eddie Murphy's trophy or even Peter O'Toole who has been nominated like what? 6 times and has yet to win. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by ThiefOfHearts(f): 6:27pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
there's always a token black man award so it's either gonna be between Djimon or Forest Whittaker |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by iice(f): 6:29pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
LOL true that |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by justkunmi(m): 7:14pm On Jan 26, 2007 |
token black award |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by toptho(f): 12:09am On Jan 27, 2007 |
I hope djimon wins but i doubt it, just saw blood diamond and i was impressed |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by justkunmi(m): 3:49am On Jan 27, 2007 |
would see pans labyrinth soon. it better makes sense or else. . . . |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by justkunmi(m): 4:09pm On Jan 29, 2007 |
saw blood diamonds yesterday!! djimon honsou(hope i spelt that rite) deserves an award for that. if not for anything, for all the wahala he did in the movie. really a nice movie. deserves an award. diCaprio was also good, as usual. rating. . .8 out of 10 |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by toptho(f): 11:01pm On Jan 29, 2007 |
Heard Pursuit of happyness is a tearjerker,i will be watching it this weekend,will smith's child is so cute. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by bluenubian(f): 11:25pm On Jan 29, 2007 |
Djimon hounsou out of all people deserve to win am glad dream girls didn't get nominated for best picture, the golden globe was jus kissing their butts by nominating them so many time, the movie was aight, got too much props if u ask me i love Merle Streep but i don't think she ll beat Miren on this one "Letters from Iwo Jima" is sure to win best picture |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Seun(m): 9:53am On Jan 30, 2007 |
Is "Letters From Iwojima" a patriotic film? I hate such films. Films hat glorify "heroism" i.e. reckless violence. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by ThiefOfHearts(f): 6:25pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
It's about World War 2 so yes Clint Eastwood is getting on my nerves now with his "pity me" movies and he knows American dolts eat that nonsense up. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Eurphoria(f): 6:26pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
Toh shut the fuk up thats my fav actor and director you chatting about there |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by bluenubian(f): 6:29pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
ThiefOfHearts: lol you so right , but hey u gotta give him props,the guy is almost 77 and still doing big things |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Eurphoria(f): 6:32pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
TOH you of all ppl shud appreciate what he is doing with his movies, he is giving you a side to stories and history that hollywood would otherwise, airbrush over and tell you what you want to hear . He is a very intelligent man Clint. For real T you of all ppl should appreciate him, infact i thot you would like his view. |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by neelsel(f): 6:37pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
Eurphoria: Europhria, I have never seen this side of you girlfriend, who trouble you now? |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by ThiefOfHearts(f): 6:37pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
lol I never said he wasnt intelligent, E. Just seems like he purposely does these movies to get Oscar recognition or maybe I just want him to get the hell out of the way and let Martin Scorcese finally get what he's due plus Iwo Jima is a stupid part of history. People were dying in the hands of the nazis all over and it was when Japan blew up Pearl Habor that the Americans started to show up. They should be ashamed of themselves |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by neelsel(f): 6:40pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
Historian Thiefs, wow! and how they said you weren't smart |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Eurphoria(f): 6:41pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
I hear you just. But i don't think he does it just for the oscars, even if he did ,well he is doing great. I reckon he just enjoys telling the other side of things. Infact i really appreciate it, because you know many young people don't read about history and things, atleast they get fed the real story by my guy clint instead of the usuaul big hollywood flicks. Take million dollar baby, if he had gone the hollywood route you know what the story would have been . He is a realist , i like that |
Re: The Oscars 2007 by Eurphoria(f): 6:42pm On Jan 30, 2007 |
neelsel wats up !!!! |
