i dont know about heath being a lock for best actor though. i think it will either go to hoffman (capote) or even phoenix (walk the line) before him.

relationship movie == chick flick

so its a chick flick, no thanks

It's probably a little bit more than a chick flick, in that it does bring up controversial issues. It also has beautiful scenery in it as well. However it is merely the story of two people who fall in love. They just happen to be male cowboys.

any explosions? what is the body count? are these cowboys packing automatic weapons? WMD's?

i don't think it is my type of movie 😉

I'd like to see Phoenix win it myself. He did a good job, he deserves it more than Ledger.

Well, there is ALMOST a bear attack, and a few sheep die. Oh, and there are a couple of gruesome scenes, but describing them would give away part of the story

same here, i thought he did a great job. but the reason why i dont have him as a lock is because of foxx getting it for 'ray' last year. gets kind of repetitive. it should have no aberrance on him winning it, but something tells me it just isnt a sure thing.

wasnt chicago and moulan rouge up for these awards too?

and they sucked bad ...

Some people do like movies that aren't mindless action hack fests. Basically, I'm saying you have awful taste in movies, and only like garbage, but not everybody does.

Also, it's all relative to the other movies that came out. If only bad movies come out in any given year only a bad movie can win best picture.

Aren't you gay?

You are thinking of the other Ryan.

I thought they were both gay? 😕

I know Ryan is gay, not sure about RyanSengara though.

Well, considering I have no desire to ever see Million Dollar Baby, Lost in Translation, Terms of Endearment, Chicago, or many other "Oscar winner" movies, I think I *do* have an excuse to not see it.

will this be the first film with explicit homosexual themes to win a "best picture" Oscar?

at any rate, there's NO excuse not to go see it, now 😛


nominations

There's the excuse that I am the father of a 3.5 year old and on the off chance that I actually get to go see a movie with my wife it probably won't be that one.

I'll wait until it's out on video or pay per view if I see it at all.

I don't go see movies based on whether or not they are nominated for an Oscar.

same here. I'll pass.

My wife dragged me to see it. I'm not into mushy love stories, not into cowboys, and not into guy on guy action. But, it is a very good story that the producers and actors filmed extremely well.

I do recommend that you go and see it.

Although I wasn't quite prepared for the one of the earlier scenes... 😱 Made some of the teenage girls in the theatre giggle.
 
what's wrong with seeing it? it ought to be a good movie. it's your call what you see or not, but i'd suggest expanding your horizons a bit.

Good movie, I'm man enough and secure in my sexuality enough to say so.

Also, Heath Ledger is a lock for best actor.

I'm secure with my sexuality, but I don't care for di...I mean chick flicks.
