Talk about a total suck-ass bunch of Oscar noms. Maybe worst nominations ever. Seriously. Is "the Aviator" even that good? Does anyone seriously think that in five or ten years, people are going to say "'Wow, the Aviator, I love that movie!" Does anyone think that when VH-1 does the inevitable "I Love 2004" they'll even talk about "The Aviator?" And yeah, I know people are saying it has a chance to win partly because Scorcese hasn't won yet and it'll be a Lifetime thing, but the fact he didn't win for "Taxi Driver" or "Raging Bull" or "Goodfellas" shows how lame the Academy Awards are.

Of course, I haven't seen the movie.

And don't even get me started on "Finding Neverland." Puh-lease. Has anyone even seen it?

Then there's poor Paul Giamatti who totally got screwed. We all know that if Brad Pitt had played the role and purposely gained ten or fifteen pounds to play it (with itenirant cover story's in People Magazine about how he put on the weight and how he lost it) and purposely made himself look ugly, thus showing what a "brave" actor he is, he would have been nominated. Except, of course, Brad Pitt can't really act so it never would have happened. And how did the dude who directed "Eternal Sunshine" not get nominated?

But then again, what do I know. I thought the best movies of the year were Spiderman II, the Incredibles, and Hero.
