Outside of John Stewart's searing and entertaining wit, is there any other reason to watch the Oscar's this year?

[KingVoyeur]

There's only 3 nominees in the Best Song category? Weird.

[neglet]

Animated Feature Film:
"Howl's Moving Castle"
"Tim Burton's Corpse Bride"
"Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit."

I thought this category was interesting. Only three contenders (which isn't unusual), but no mainstream studio animation companies in the bunch.

I haven't seen "Howl's Moving Castle," but I can't imagine anything surpassing "Wallace & Gromit" this year.

I....I....

They recognized Crash.
They recognized Crash.

I....didn't think they were allowed to nominate movies released early in the year.

This....god. I need to re-read this, but did they actually get a lot RIGHT this year?

[Magell]

Why isn't Star Wars nominated for best FX. I think Star Wars should get Movie of the Year so the academy can give George Lucas the recognition that he deserves like they did with Jackson last year. I really don't care about the Oscar awards or any other ones.

I'm glad to see that Kong didn't get any real award nominations because I thought it was bad. I'm proud to say that I didn't see any of the movies nominated until you get to the technical awards.

I'm tempted to watch because John Stewart is hosting but I doubt I will.

God bless the Clooney.

I'm very happy that Howl's Moving Castle, Corpse Bride, and Wallace & Gromit got nominated for the animated feature...very excited that none of the computer generated garbage that came out this year (Madagascar, Chicken Little, etc.) got nominated because they made a lot of money (like Shark's Tale). Instead, we got a traditionally animated film, stop motion puppets and claymation. Good stuff.

*sigh*
Peter Jackson spends 5 years and 300 million dollars of someone else's money to make three movies. 17 oscar wins. 13 nominations.
George Lucas spends 28 years and 400 million dollars of his OWN money to make 6 movies. 7 oscar wins. 14 nominations.
Damn.
Damn!

It must really suck to be a fanboy.
