Exorcist, Alien(s), Shadow of the Vampire, Psycho, Jaws, Bride of Frankenstein, Rosemary's Baby, Kwaidan, The Birds, The Uninvited, Misery, Rear Window, Vertigo, all got at least an Oscar nomination.


And as for SotL and how it "couldn't happen w/o Hopkins", it might not have been as good a movie as it was without Hopkins

Well acting is part of what makes a great movie so I don't see why the fact that a good actor who killed a roll in the film takes any credit from it.

you guys don't honestly take the oscars seriously, do you? if so, my opinion of this board just took a sharp nosedive.

I have been of the opinion for a while that the Pulitzer is the only award that means anything at all, or can be trusted.

It's just a discussion, personally I wouldn't say I take 'em all that seriously but the films involved are always really good if not great so it's interesting to discuss and see who wins.

Today's movies are trying goto alot of gay or close to gay films. look at the shit on cable (hbo-sho) It won't suprise me if gay back mountian get movie of the year. But dose usly go by how much a film make and stay #1. And why the fuck in any t.v show they show more man-ass, what about woman-ass. I kind of think alot of movie and shows are gay or way to weak.

Sometimes there are blockbusters in the oscars but usually('specially last year) it's mostly movies that the average joe haven't even heard of or weren't going to see until it recieves the nomination.

Are you saying you don't like homosexual-themed films and/or TV shows, and have a problem with man-ass?

:confused:

to be honest, i think a lot of the people criticizing the film (and its oscar chances) ought to see it first. . . .is it a love story about two men - yes - but its more than that in so many ways. i really think it is a great film (the best this year? not for me, but still great)

to criticize it only because it has two male lovers seems remarkably narrowminded to me
