1.) It won't win, but me, I'd be pushing for American Splendor to win best adapted screenplay. Did anyone here not see this awesome, awesome little film?

2.) Again, not a fan of the movie, but goooooooo Deppy! I love Ben Kingsley, and he ruled in his movie, but Depp totally deserves this.

And finally...

3.) "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow," has been nominated for best song. I... well, I really don't have to say anything, do I? Except here's hoping for a live performance by Mitch and Mickey.

Re: No Oscar for Depp

Totally agreed on TTT. RotK had the problem of being the third movie. You'd already seen Hobbiton, and you'd already seen Gollum: the two truly novel visuals were already spent.

Like I said: you don't have to like the books, but you do have to respect them. If you haven't read enough to respect them, I'd encourage you to keep reading, or have somebody explain what it is you're looking at. If you've read enough to respect the books, give up and read something more fun. They're extraordinary achievements, but that doesn't mean you necessarily want to read them.
