Lilica said this in post #30 : Sean Penn deserves to win. He was absolutely fantastic in Mystic River!!!!
Although I think LOTR should have gotten some acting nomination Sean Penn was amazing this year, the others did a gerat job but he was perfect!!
OOOOHH...glad to see another Penn fan this time around!
I HAVE to go see this movie...I think Ill rent it this weekend...granted its out on DVD...I hope!!! *fingers crossed*

I am myself quite surprised that neither The Matrix Reloaded, nor Revolutions, received a single nomination. For those of you who believed that The Matrix 'sucked', you must at least be intelligent enough to recognise that the special effects were quite fantastic. Regardless of the fact that you are not film fans, there is a lot of maturity in being able to give credit where credit is due. I believe that Reloaded certainly deserved a nomination for Best Special Effects.
I do not feel that Johnny Depp deserved a nomination for Pirates of the Carribean. I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and I sincerely enjoyed POTC, however I do believe that Viggo Mortensen in Return of the King did an extremely good job of his role as Aragorn. He should have received a nomination.
Also, why didn't ROTK receive a nomination for Best Cinematography? I think that it was quite magnificent. I do believe that ROTK will dominate the Awards night, and will most likely clean up Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, among others. It certainly deserves to be honoured with a number of awards.

Both of the matrix movies did have great special effects, but there wasn't anything new in either of them... same tricks used in the first one...
The chances of LOTR winning best picture seem pretty high, however, I don't think it should win best adapted screenplay because of the book it was adapted from.. it would be impossible to make perfect adaptations of J.R.R. Tolken books... I think Mystic River should win best adapted screenplay...
Are you saying that the flying scenes, the multiple Smiths, the Burly Brawl, the Superbrawl, the attack on Zion, the resistance by APUs was not new to these two sequels? I think they were great and should have been nominated.
I think it should have been nominated for the best screenplay too, but I am sure people disagree with me.

I'm pissed off that Lord of the Rings got no nomination for best actor. Every single one in it was SUPERB! However:
- Master and Commander was not intended to be an action movie! It is a film about character development, about the clash (and union) of tradition and science. Personally, I loved the Crowe and Bettany performances.
- Matrix Revolutions fell short of my expectations. Not a tad as good as the first film in the trilogy.
I was just about to say something about Sean Penn!
I absolutely love him! Always have...seen all of his movies (except this one...and I am waiting for it to come on video now...since I dont think its at the theaters anymore...but ill have to check that)..I need to see it soon & BEFORE the awards are given out!
Anyhow...I think he should have won for Dead Man Walking but they didnt give him one...although he got the Golden Globe for best actor for that movie.
I would LOVE for him to win an oscar...but I think Hollywood still has this "bad boy" image of him from years ago....Im hoping they will finally let that go as I think Penn has proven himself time and time again to be one of the best actors around not to mention a really good director....and it doesnt hurt that he is handsome (in my eyes anyways).
GO SEAN!!
Im a happy woman!
I cant even say how much I feel Sean deserved this!
He is one of the best actors around!
Thanks to the academy for finally opening their eyes, and seeing that Sean deserves an Oscar!!!!!!
