Oscar nominations are out

I'm surprised that Little Miss Sunshine got nominated for best picture, it's never gonna win, I have a feeling this year is the year of the Scorsese.

And it's a damn shame that Children of Men is only up for technical oscars.

DeCaprio for Blood Diamond but not The Departed?! Mark Whalberg in The Departed?! What is Borat adapted from?

Looks like Dreamgirls is the heavy hitter this year. Queen too. I'm saddened that Children of Men got passes on the directing and best picture awards but I'm happy to see it and Pan's Labyrinth got so many nominations. I hope Pirates 2 wins best art direction because that ghostly crew needs to be reconized.

Borat is adapted from the Ali G Show.

Does it really matter what accented role Decaprio gets nominated for?
Quite frankly I didn't see what all the fuss was about with The Departed. It was okay, certaintly worthy of the Oscar for Best Use of a Dropkick Murphy Song, but not much else. I am pulling for Whalberg, his character was one of the best parts.

Borat is adapted from a character on the Ali G show, I believe.

Edit: I was beaten badly to the point.

Doesn't look like a very fun Oscars...there's a severe drought of gay...maybe that's because last year had an overabundance of it (Brokeback Mountain, Capote)?

This year's theme is British.

Re: Oscar nominations are out

aren't British and gay pretty much the same thing?

there needs to be an award for "most violence" so Mel can get another award.

There were good ones, they just chose to spite them.
