Basically, all I care is that Hoffman wins Best Actor.

And all I know is that Brokeback's going to win Best Picture.


I have next to no interest in any of the movies up for nomination. And that's all in all the categories.

Reese SHOULD win best actress, which means Felicity Huffman takes it.

Phil Sy Hoffman takes the cake, cos he just IS Capote,

Dunno about supporting

The rest DON'T MATTER.

(remember, I won last year's bash, and some folks still owe me mixes...and I still listen to Marco and Max's regularly)

I predict that Jon Stewart might actually be funny. Then again, he sucked when he hosted the Grammys that one time.

I have yet to see Good Night and Good Luck. But Capote, Crash, and Munich were way better films than Brokeback.

I don't think Giamatti will take it. The feelings about Cinderella Man these days amongst critics is that the excitement for it has waned. Which may end up hurting his chances. Sadly.

I get the feeling Clooney will walk away with the best supporting actor.

This year is the most predictable year if you ask me. And slightly boring film-wise.

All I care about is Reese winning Best Actress. Love, love her and want to see her take it.

Seriously? I would pay good money to just follow them REAL STREET around before and after the ceremony.

They should come out, start that and then go into "Hit a Motherfucker!!"

Oh, and the boxing movie was great, except for fucking Zellweger, who should get her sag card revoked for that fucking olive-oil accent. YELCH!!
