- I assume by the smiley, you're kidding? I think the article lists them in order. Hanson is 2nd from right (I think). - Mop Feb 23, 12:38 3

    - HEY! -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 12:41

  - hairiest girl EVER. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:39 3

This would be very time consuming, but I'd like to devote time to watching best picture nominees in the course of a weekend (concentrating on one yr - kelly Feb 23, 12:32 9
- Next year, I think I'd like to do all the (available) nominees that are on DVD on Friday, then the Best Picture day at AMC on Saturday. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:35 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - The only difficult thing is to either (a) not see any good movies or (b) be lucky to not have seen any of the nominees. - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:43 1
      - I thought the popcorn deal was great. - kelly Feb 23, 12:46

    - G'way, really? -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:37
im fine with Slumdog's success, but Button should have won Cinematography. -- nm - Guy Feb 23, 12:32 4
- Totally agree... and score. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 12:38 1
  - i would have voted for WALL-E Best Score - mostly just cause I'm a big Thomas Newman fan (see above) -- nm - Guy Feb 23, 12:39
- [deleted] 1
  - it was a close decision for me. I can see why people voted for Slumdog, beyond the "straight ticket" phenomenon. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 12:35

- Jack Palance is the *man* -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 12:31
- I thought I was the only person on earth who disliked Julia's speech. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:28 7
  - I liked her until that speech. - Subversive Feb 23, 12:32 4
    - The year she presented the oscar to Denzel Washington was just as bad. it was all about her. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:33 3
      - Still better than Halle's embarassing speech later. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:35 2
        
        I have a dream that some day actresses will be judged, not by the colour of their skin, but by the quality of their nude scenes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:38 1
        
        You think it's coincidence Heather Graham is still on my laminated list? -- nm - Subversive Feb 23, 12:42
  - Yeah, but you dislike her. She could have given a great speech and you probably would have found fault. - kelly Feb 23, 12:30 1
    - that's exactly why I thought it was just me. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:31
- Oh wow, i had no clue Hanks outed his drama teacher. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:26 4
  - [deleted]
  - This surprises me. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 12:27

    - an awful, awful movie. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:28

- a little loop of a ditty I just made up. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 12:20
Were people expecting an animated film to get a nom for best pic? I would be of the opinion that no animated film should ever be nominated for best - Loyola Feb 23, 12:17 37
- an animated film is still a film. if it's better than the live action films, why NOT nominate? - Andie Feb 23, 12:20 13
  - agreed -- nm - Guy Feb 23, 12:29
  - I don't think documentaries either should be nominated for best pic. I have a very traditional view of what should and should not be nominated for bp. -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:22 11
    - Best Non-Aminated Non-Documentary Feature Film Made By Americans! -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 12:24
    - so, only live action dramatic films can ever be the best film of the year? that's very narrow and, well, archaic. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 12:23 9
      - But is 95% of the nominations they make -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:25 1
        
        it is, but i don't think that should the *rule*. if something transcends it's designated separate category, give it the recognition it deserves. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 12:28
      - Well surely then the next logical step according to the point of view that animated features should be able to be nominated for best pic is to then - Loyola Feb 23, 12:25 6
        
        Cuz there's a shortage of winning live-action movies? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:28
        
        I'd be way more in favor of this than banning animated movies from best pic. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 12:27 4
        
        as if director and best picture don't overlap enough as it is? -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 12:28 2
        
        It's dumb, but less dumb than forcing Wall-E to move to the back of the bus. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 12:30 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 12:31
        
        I could agree with animation being included were this oscar enacted. -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:28
- Your IM would then remove any foreign films from the Best Picture race becuase there's a Best Foreign Language film. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:20 3
  - No documentaries either. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 12:21 2
    - Thus the Hoop Dreams mention, which somehow got double-boned in 1994. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:22
    - Crap! - Michael Moore Feb 23, 12:21
- It's the equivalent of pitchers being eligible for MVP -- nm - Strongbad Feb 23, 12:19
- let me introduce you to Venn diagrams. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:19 2
  - *Nice.* -- nm - mara Feb 23, 12:23
  - *gives this post some undetermined number of points* -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 12:22
- So then no movie made outside of the US should get a best pic nom either, right? -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 12:18 3
  - But they do...f*ing NAFTA! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:19
  - Wrong. -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:19 1
    - But they already have a category... -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 12:19
- THen why are foreign films nominated if there is a category for them? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:18 9
  - They have real people in them? -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:19 8
    - such an arbitrary distinction. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 12:22 4
      - Board seemed slow. -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:22 3
        
        *tosses you a bag of Troll Chow* That help? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:25 2
        
        Like you can talk. -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:26 1
        
        But I always stir controversy by accident...never on purpose -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:27
    - real people write, direct, produce, voice, draw, and edit animated films. - Andie Feb 23, 12:21
    - But real people make animated films -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:20
    - so if you drew Slumdog MIllionaire, it wouldn't be a real film? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:19
- I think if it's the best movie of the year, it shouldn't be limited by a category. it's "Best Picture." -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:18
Will - yeah, a little over 2 lbs. - kelly Feb 23, 12:15
nobody cares, but I ordered myself a new macbook last night. the last days of student discounts are upon us. - the ides of march love mandy lane Feb 23, 12:15 1
- *sniff* They grow up so fast. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 23, 12:27
MDH: we used to go to Tracks and Fifth Column, which preceded the Nation. really scary neighborhood but good clubs. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:13
endorsement: this compilation is fantastic. *wonderful.* -- (link) - the ides of march love mandy lane Feb 23, 12:12 3
- They have this on eMusic, too, fwiw. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:16 2
  - have you checked it out? it's kind of underproduced for your taste maybe; sorry. I *love* it. -- nm - the ides of march love mandy lane Feb 23, 12:18 1
    - Yeah, I froze my eMusic membership, and I listened to it when trying to spend my last 30 or so downloads. - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:19
Combine Reports: DE Michael Johnson runs a 4.75 40 and a 38.5" vertical jump - Strongbad Feb 23, 12:12 8

    - [deleted] 4
      - Freeney plays at 268, I don't see him having to bulk up much more than that. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 23, 12:28 3
        
        Of course, Johnson didn't run a 4.5 like Freeney. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 23, 12:29
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'm biased here, but - Strongbad Feb 23, 12:31
- They should have live webcast feeds from the combine. Just raw video. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 12:17
Toy Story getting a screenplay nom in 95 was a pretty significant breakthrough in itself. - Reagen Feb 23, 12:11 3
- [deleted] 2
  - I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but the Pixar film that had the best chance of a BP nom before Wall-E was Finding Nemo. - Reagen Feb 23, 12:16 1
    - I cited it as the logical nomination before moving onto Toy Story 2. 98% fresh and writing Oscar noms with a Golden Globe Best Picture nom. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 12:18
Okay Jack, I stand corrected. I could've sworn there was a decent-sized Toy Story 2 push. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 12:10 7
- Though I would argue that it certainly beats Choclat, Erin Brockovich and Traffic, which were nominated. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 12:13 6
  - Those 3 are all 2000 movies, not 1999. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:13 5
    - Whoops. Looked at the wrong year. (Ceremony was 2000...) Okay, drop The Insider and The Green Mile instead, leaving American Beauty, Cidar House & - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 12:16 4
      - The Insider was the best of the five BPs nominated that year. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:18 1
        
        I've given it three viewings and not once did I think it rised above just being very good to great. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 12:25
      - You also have Three Kings, John Malkovich, The Matrix (biggest winner of the Oscars), Magnolia. Talented Ripley.... - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:18 1
        
        Hmmm....The Matrix > Talented Mr. Ripley > Toy Story 2 > Fight Club > Being John > Three Kings > Magnolia - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 12:22

What ever became of that Texas law that requires an investigator license for PC repairs? -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 12:09 6
- IIRC, the law as passed only requires it if you're using a computer for investigative work. - TaurusII Feb 23, 12:23 1
  - Well, that makes sense. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 12:30
- Ask these guys. -- (link) - mara Feb 23, 12:17
- Dude...don't leave me hangin'...no one ever sent me comments when I was writing...don't hold out on me now. :) -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 12:11 2
  - It'll have to wait until I get home. They were just asking if you were still writing. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 12:16 1
    - heh...no sweat...curious as to who it could be...since it's been so long. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 12:19
