How was Last Samurai not nominated for best picture?

[CrazyDe1]

Yet master and commander and mystic river were? Master and commander was ssssooo boring and Mystic River was flat out horrible and depressing...

I think they wanted to give the "little" guys like the "ring" movie a chance, j/k

 

[DaWhim]

wtf! master and commander was GREAT! Russell Crowe rules!
they will win custom too.

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

Because it has Tom Cruise and felt a lot like Dances with Wolves? Just a guess.

 

[poopygood]

good but not good enough...

It wasn't a very good movie. Actually, it was an annoyingly typical Tom Cruise movie. Nothing exceptional about it at all.

 

[Platypus]

tom cruise sucks

 

[notfred]

It was better than Mystic River, that's for sure.

i agree 100%. i'm surprised that it wasn't nominated - in fact, it was the only movie last year that really moved me. all others were just entertaining, some moreso than others.

they already gave a nomination for best supporting actor to Ken Watanabe .. the oscar's don't want to let everything go crazy.

Because in the movie American = Bad guys.
Japanese = the good one

and Tom Cruise convert to Japanese

Master and Commander sucked. Boring and I hate how they made the boats do maneuvers that were impossible to do with the boats they were in.

EDIT: Ok, the movie didn't suck that bad, but for some reason I don't like Crowe. They still made teh boats do impossible things though.

I thought Master and Commander was really good. It had character development & action.

 

[Scouzer]

Great movie. Glad I saw it.
