Webkitty | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:41 am     Thanks Crazydog! I missed the announcement. Julianne Moore got nominated for best AND supporting actress in the Hours? I've seen about half these movies, need to get a move on before Oscar night. |
Marysafan | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:43 am     That was an oops....Julianne Moore was nominated in the Best Actress category for "Far from Heaven". |
Crazydog | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:46 am     Oops. Sorry, Julianne Moore for Best Actress for Far From Heaven, Best Supporting Actress for The Hours. But she did get two noms. Some notable omissions: Peter Jackson, director, for LOTR Richard Gere for Chicago (thankfully) Meryl Streep for lead actress for The Hours Dennis Quaid for supporting actor for Far From Heaven Some notable surprises: Pedro Almodovar for director Salma Hayek for actress John C. Reilly for supporting actor Queen Latifah for supporting actress |
Marysafan | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:47 am     Some major "snubs" I noticed were... Everybody BUT Richard Gere was nominated for "Chigago". Didn't he just win the Golden Globe for that perfomance? Major OUCH! Everybody BUT Meryl Streep was nominated for "The Hours"...but at least she got nominated for "Adaptation". and What happened to Dennis Quaid? I heard nothing but raves for his performance in "Far from Heaven". |
Webkitty | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:04 am     Thanks for correcion on Julianne Moore, I thought that was a little odd.... I noticed Peter Jackson was left out for LOTR too. I will be disapointed if next year isn't the big year for the trilogy. (last chance for PJ and Co.) John C. Reilly was good in Chicago, I'm glad he got a nod. I'm also glad to see Christopher Walken got a nod for Catch me if you Can, he was great. I saw Gangs, it was a horrible movie imo, and I hope it gets shut out. Scorsessi(sp) is a lunatic, and Daniel Day Lewis played such a sub-human character. Plus, Leo didn't get nominated, he acted his heart out in that! He was great in CMIYC, too. I think his acting skills are so underrated. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:06 am     Here are the leading nomination totals: Chicago - 13 Gangs of New York - 10 The Hours - 9 The Pianist - 7 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - 6 I don't mind that Richard Gere was snubbed. I thought he was the worst thing about Chicago. His singing was atrocious. As far as winning the Golden Globe, he won the Golden Globe for Comedy/Musical. Many actors who win the Golden Globe lead award for Comedy/Musical tend to get snubbed - Jim Carrey, Madonna (Evita), Nicole Kidman (To Die For). Very happy for Salma Hayek and especially Queen Latifah. She rocked. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 11:25 am     Not very exciting nominations this year. I have only seen one of the best picture noms: Chicago. Thrilled to see Diane Lane get a nod. Not surprised to see Gere snubbed (gorgeous guys seem to get forgotten re: Leonardo and Titanic). Also thrilled to see Spirited Away get nominated for Animated Feature (one of the best films of last year period). If it doesn't win I'll be cussing a blue streak at the Academy. I hope Chicago sweeps. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 04:46 pm     I saw Chicago over the weekend and PLEASE LORD, let it get best picture rather than Gangs of New York. I thought Richard Gere was surprisingly good in Chicago, but not an oscar-worthy part. The ladies were great, and I was very surprised to NOT miss the Bob Fosse choreography. The director was also the choreographer for the movie, and he was Fosse trained so his choreography kept what I felt was the heart of Fosse in it while tailoring it to a big-screen 2002/3 production. Cinematography was LUSCIOUS. Overall, pleased with the nominations as they fell. |
Ericka1012 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 12:57 am     I saw Chicago a week or so ago...I'm going to be hoping for Catherine Zeta-Jones, I haven't seen the other three performances...but she was wonderful...I think the best in the show and although Renée Zellweger had the lead I think Zeta-Jones was worth the price of the ticket just to see her... Lord of the Rings was wonderful...but I think they might wait until the next year to give it to PJ, cast and picture and it will be for the body of work... |
Ophiliasgrandma | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 08:36 am     One nitpick...I just don't care for all the quick, quick, quick editing in scenes. You can't get a very good look at any one thing before it's a fast cut to another angle. Too frenetic for my taste. My eyes and my mind just don't work at that speed. Otherwise, grand movie entertainment! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 07:47 am     i love queen latifah and im so glad she got the oscar nom and the golden globe nom. i just love her, she is one of my favorite people. |
Melfie1222 | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 05:53 pm     Anyone else watching tonight? I thought Steve Martin did pretty good with his opening... mostly just good natured poking fun at celebrity and Hollywood. |
Grannyg | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Melfie, Spy, has a thread going in the general discussions area also. So I know she is watching!! |
Melfie1222 | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 05:59 pm     Oops, I just noticed right after I posted.. thanks |
Spygirl | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 06:26 pm     Man - I really screwed up, huh?? I never even saw this thread either! |
Moderator | Sunday, March 23, 2003 - 08:05 pm     Okay, closing this one and referring y'all to where the majority of discussion is happening over here: ../9200/1076606.html?1048479031 (c) |
