Oscars

i saw the list of oscar nominated movies...and i've HEARD of like 2 of em'. The departed which i saw and really enjoyed and Little miss sunshine because Alicia wanted to see it and i labled it a chick flick and there for blasphemous for me to see. (which, now i admit, i somewhat,partially regret as it sounds like a decent movie and not said chick flick)

Ever notice how oscar movies usually follow a certain criteria? They usually have a variety of the finalists from different genre's...1) a mainstream movie that everyone has heard of and did very well at the box office 2) a musical of some sort 3) a depressing flick on the state of the world or society 4) A low budget indy type flick with a big name actor 'taking a risk' by broadening their horizons and getting lucky with the good script and 5) something with a foreign feel to it like the English Patient or something.

Here's my Oscar nominee's if i was on the board

1) James Bond Casino Royale: The new bond Daniel Craig Delivers!

2)Star Ship Troopers: Best movie ever made..deserves perpetual nominations

3) The Departed: really was a good flick and Scorcese has been shot down 5 times for best director..one more and it's a record. Gee, do you think he pissed someone off behind the scenes in Hollywood at some point? Um....Yeah.

4)Aliens: Not the first one by Ridley Scott, but the second James Cameron one with more action..yes, i know this came out in 1986..it's my Oscar show though.

5)Pirates of The Carribean: It's like the highest grossing movie of all time. By LOGIC doesn't that make it the best?

Seriously...instead it's going to probably to go Babel with Brad freakin' Pitt in it cause it shows how depressing the world is...seriously. We are looking at Brad Freakin' Pitt in movie of the year. don't get me wrong, i like me some braddpitt...see true romance..see interview with a vampire..etc...but movie of the year? come on.

The other sign the apocolypse is upon is Eddie Murphy is up for best supporting Actor. Typing that alone is enuff to make my head explode.
