<strong>I have a feeling I'm not going to like most of the Academy Award Best Picture nominations...
I can see it now:
Moulin Rouge</strong><hr></blockquote>
I liked this movie a lot. I grew up with watching the great musicals of the thirties/fourties on up (Thanks Mom & Dad!) and this was a fantastic new twist to the genre. It will be on the list probably because Nichole Kidman will tell them to.
My take on Best Film is even scarier...
1. Pearl Harbor - Obviously for its "patriotic/historical" perspective...bleh.
2. Moulin Rouge - This was a sleeper movie. It originally died at the box office but when that music video took off the public wanted more and the movie was re-released...and it's an International/cult hit.
3. The Man Who wasn't There - That's the Indie one. It's a Coen brother's film.
4. The Majestic - I know, this was just released but its the one everyone's buzzing about...it's Jim Carrey's time...
5. Insert another heartwarming/lockbuster movie here: _______________________.
I really think Carrey's going to walk away with the Best Actor Oscar this time. Since they gave an Oscar last year to a gladiator movie and the B. A. to an Australian actor playing a Spanish Roman general with a British accent was stretching things. Russell Crowe is good but that wasn't the movie.
I think the whole thing is wacked now. Probably won't even watch. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

I can see it now:
Moulin Rouge (whatever, what a crap movie)
Mulholland Drive (same)
*Monster's Ball (Billy Bob usually finds his way into the Oscars.)
Ocean's Eleven (star power)
Memento (GREAT movie)
Interchangeable with The Man Who Wasn't There.
