GANGS OF NEW YORK (Miramax) Screenplay by Jay

Man, I spend so much money buying DVD's and games I don't bother to go to the theater and watch all these new ones. I did see Two Towers twice though, so I vote to give all the Oscars to Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers.

I'm glad you saw LOTR in theaters -there are certainly some movies that really aren't done justice on a TV.

There are only 3 that I am certain of:

Best Picture: THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS (New Line) - I'm not really a fan but I recognize a monumental film when I see one.

Achievement in Directing: GANGS OF NEW YORK (Miramax) Martin Scorsese - Just because the movie was really original and had a sense of "this is sooo coool" about it. The ending totally sucked dick though.

Best Actor in a Leading Role: Daniel Day-Lewis in GANGS OF NEW YORK (Miramax) - This guy was was pimpin some motherfuckin hardcore shit in this film. He definately stole the show and I didn't even know who the fuck he was before walking in to see this movie.

Man, now I know the awards are rigged. I had my doubts before, but there is no way in fucking hell that Two Towers deserved to be nominated. ITS NOT EVEN A WHOLE MOVIE ON IT'S OWN FOR SHITS SAKE!!
The real two best picture got snubbed. Those would be The 25th Hours and Adaptation. If I HAD to pick out of those choices, I'd go with Gangs. But Adaptation is the true movie of the year.

The only movie out of those I've seen is LOTR. :o

The rest just look so freaking boring. I think I'll go watch Fargo again.

wow. i haven't, and don't intend to see a single movie on that list. the oscars are shit!

Kangaroo Jack is nowhere to be found on that list, what the hell?

Hate to say I told you so, but, I told you so.

I win, I called it.



Yep, Adaptation was definitely the best movie of the year but I knew it wasn't going to get nominated. If it doesn't win best adapted screenplay though, now that would be funny...

The Pianist rules you....Im serious...it put Schindlers list to shame.

ehh award shows = lame crap to me

Does anyone even watch that crap anymore since there is now something called cable or sattelite tv ?

I like to watch new movies but I really dont care about who thinks who is a better actor for their performance.

Award shows = comercial spam
