Well it looks like I'm the only one who's remotely excited by this years award season. I can barely find anyone who actually gives a crap about it (Apparently the gulf cup is much more interesting to them) and whenever I talk about the Oscars to anyone they give me this vibe that I should just shut up about it and start talking about how great it's been for Oman to win all the matches it played in so far in the gulf cup lol (well it actually is great so big shout out goes to all Omanies and here's to us winning for the first time inshallah).
Anyways this is about the Oscars and well I have actually prediced most of the nominees but was rather dissapointed that Jack Nicholson didn't get a nomination for his amazing role in 'The departed' as well as Brad pitt being snubbed for his role in 'Babel' which seems to be nominated for everything else!
Two actresses whom I'm quite sure they'd win are Hellen Mirren for 'The Queen' (Which actually was quite a good movie and her performance was superb) but I am still hoping that the lovely Kate Winslet gets it because she bloody deserves it and this is her 5th nomination for heavens sake (she never won before). The other Actress I'm quite positive of her win is Jennifer Hudson who's been getting alot of rave lately for her role in 'Dream Girls' which I am yet to watch but I am hoping that the little girl Abigail Breslin from 'Little miss sunshine' would get it because I really enjoyed her performance in that excellent movie.
I also hope that Martin Scorsese gets his first Best director oscar because he as well really deserves it since he has never won the award before despite being nominated for 5 times already.
Those are pretty much the awards that I'm concerned about, I'm cool with whatever goes on in the rest of the Categories.

I haven't seen most of these movies, so I guess it's quite hard to pick a nominee in any of these categories. But I do agree that Jack Nicholson does deserve to be recognized for his performance in "The Departed"!
Almost a month to go, let's see how this turns out.
yup... can't exactly judge for the same reasons.
however I am surprised that some actors/actresses even I know. (emphasis on even)... aren't on the list.
Depp and Brad're not on...
strange.
Tee: Well depp didn't really do anything besides Pirates last year and his performance, although great, isn't really oscar worthy. Besides he was nominated for the first pirates movie and lost.
I guess the fact that ya'll didn't watch many of the nominated movies yet makes it difficult to judge. I personally watched most of them and I even got babel today which I'll be watching as well. so yeah lets see.
I look forward more to the Globes, and not the Oscar. It's just a lighter more entertaining version opposed to the 'forced entertainment' in the Oscars.
The nominations are pretty much the same ..
