I am keeping my fingers crossed for Peter Jackson(to win director) and LOTR for best picture....as far as the others..I am neutral :wink:

there is no way elijah wood or sean astin should be nominated (i know thier not but i'm just saying)for LOTR. I thought their acting was OK but the oscars generally dont like sci-fi fantasy films so maybe its unfair to them. I hope that Bill Murray wins for his role in Lost in translation. He deserves it, after all look at his prevous "funny" roles that were great but got left unnoticed. Hes given so much to movies but recieved no respect yet!
Best picture HAS to be LOTR- hands down.

I agree that Bill Murray deserves it. I'm pulling for him as well.
As for Depp, he is a great overall actor and deserving of it as well, I just favor Murray cause he gets no respect. Apparently Depp modled his character in PotC after Keith Richards. After hearing about that it seems so obvious to me, but I see a little Hunter S. Tompson in there too.

i think its interesting that Johnny Depp is the favorite for the best actor award;before taking this role, he was pretty much dismissed and written off by the Hollywood studio powers that be as too controversial( for his brushes with the law and his outspokeness about Bush) and unable to bring audiences in to see his movies(because he preferred doing art house flicks)Now, after making the studio a ton of money for POTC, he's being hailed by the Hollywood set as a strong actor and a genius. to me, that's nothing but hypocrisy. He's a great actor who finally gets the attention he deserves. To be honest, I wont be watching the Oscars cause it's almost 4 hours of long acceptance speeches and air kisses. The only thing that makes it almost worth watching is Billy Crystal.

Wait, wait. Has anyone seen Mystic River? Not only was the film great, Sean Penn was OUTSTANDING. I don't recall one person in the theatre with jaws wide open after his one "show-stealing" scene, to with-hold on any spoilers. Anyways, folks, just wanted to throw that in, still haven't seen Pirates or Lost In Translation, but I'm sure Depp and Murray wouldn't compare to Penn...
