Another movie to consider for Academy Awards this year has got to be American Gangster. Denzel Washington's performance is over-the-top, and I think that he will be among the leaders for a nomination this year.
Another candidate for Best Director should be Ben Affleck for Gone Baby Gone. This movie is solid with story, scenery, and just overall total satisfaction as a motion picture. With a cast that includes Casey Affleck and Ed Harris, this movie has some very good Oscar potential.

“Never See You” from “The Hottest State”
“Society” from “Into the Wild”
“Guaranteed” from “Into the Wild”
“Rise” from “Into the Wild”
“First Amendment Blues” from “Larry Flynt: The Right To Be Left Alone”
“Hello (I Love You)” from “The Last Mimzy”
“Despedida” from “Love in the Time of Cholera”
“Huck’s Tune” from “Lucky You”
“Little Wonders” from “Meet the Robinsons”
“Another Believer” from “Meet the Robinsons”

“Walk Hard” from “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”

“Back Where You Belong” from “The Water Horse”
For some stupid reason, Hairspray only submitted "Come So Far (Got So Far To Go)" for consideration and NOT "Ladies Choice" (which would have been my first pick). Very dumb decision, they should have submitted BOTH songs. So here are my choices for the category:
"That's How You Know" (Enchanted)

With Spidey winning the award. Sure Transformers had awesome effects, but the "birth" of Sandman was far more visually stimulating than anything TF offered.

Enchanted NOT even being considered for Visual Effects? and "True Love's Kiss" not considerd for song? What's up with that? Here's hoping "That's How You Know" or "Come So Far" will win.

I'm impressed that Ratatouille has 5 nominations. Go Pixar!

I am a bit concerned that Ratatouille won't win the Best Animated Feature nomination, however Pixar has won over a foreign animated film before, so we'll have to wait and see.

I wish Persepolis was in the Foreign category instead of animation...PixarFan2006 wrote:I am a bit concerned that Ratatouille won't win the Best Animated Feature nomination, however Pixar has won over a foreign animated film before, so we'll have to wait and see.

I've seen Ratatouille on many Top 10 lists and Persepolis on very few. I think the rat will pull out a victory.

Yeah, it's supposed to be the best-reviewed film of the year...BrandonH wrote:I've seen Ratatouille on many Top 10 lists and Persepolis on very few. I think the rat will pull out a victory.
As for the noms, I'm happy for Johnny Depp, Juno, and Enchanted, but I really doubt they'll win much. Juno will probably get away with a few (crosses fingers for Best Screenplay at least), and Enchanted has a pretty good shot at Best Original Song. Do we know which three are nominated? Perhaps Carrie will perform Ever Ever After at the show?
Congrats to all the other nominees! I'm glad the awards this year are spread among a wide range of films. I hate it when its just five or six films getting everything.
PS Dottie, I love your avatar/siggy set! I seriously hope that show comes back soon! My favorite scene is from the horse episode when Olive and Chuck are talking to the "dead" guy and they both go "yay!" So cute!

The nominated songs for Enchanted are "That's How You Know," "Happy Working Song," and "So Close."

Thank you. I so hope the writer's strike is over soon so that all our favorite shows come back and hopefully a real Oscar ceremony, not like the Globes.numba1lostboy wrote:PS Dottie, I love your avatar/siggy set!

I am really happy for Juno's nominations and the movie would deserve at least Best Screenplay. Let's hope for the best.

"So Close"??? Personally, I think "True Love's Kiss" should have been on there...
But anyway, congrats to Juno, Enchanted, and Ratatouille! My favorite films off of that list!

"So Close" TOTES deserves the nom. Methinks "Enchanted" might pull a "Dreamgirls" and shoot itself in the foot by having three nominations, and "So Close" will win. Just a hunch.
Wish Helena got a nom... but, there you have it.
And who would have EVER thought "Norbit" would be nominated for an Oscar? My word. I certainly hope something else wins in that category.
