Of all the nominees, the one I really hope wins is Philip Seymour Hoffman
as Best Actor for "Capote" He's great in the movie, but he's also known
better here in NYC as an Off Broadway and Off Off Broadway director.
Hoffman spends much of his time and money directing cutting edge plays in
theaters that seat fifty people and where you have to stand out on the
sidewalk during intermissions. If he wins, it can only bring more
deserved attention to his theater work.

Lebowski, yeah.
He looks just like 2 guys I knew that both had "Hoff..." at the beginning of
their last name. Does that make me a racist?

Although I'd also be perfectly happy to see Heath Ledger win it for
Brokeback Mountain. That script sat on the shelf for years because
they couldn't get a name star to play the lead. No big star wanted to
play the lead in a movie where the part was a character who's in love
with another man and the movie was about that relationship. Their
agents probably said it was "career suicide" to take that part. The
only reason the movie got made was because Heath Ledger agreed to be in
it. It was a risky move for him, and it paid off because he's really
good in it.

it is a pity that none of the songs nominated is fit to be played in public.
What the hell has music come to when the nominations are for songs glorifying
violence, racial discrimination and foul vile language.

re #106: if that's true, it's highly ironic because I'd bet that
practically *nobody* has gone to see the movie thinking "I'll go
see that new Heath Ledger movie.."

"violence, racial discrimination and foul vile language" are the American Way.

there was one song maybe on the list that was "unfit", but the other
two were fine, I thought.
anyway, any thoughts on the show from last night?

I hate it when something wins best picture and not best director. If Paul
Haggis directed the Best Picture of the year, Crash, than why was he not
the Best Director. Conversely if Ang Lee did the best directing job of
the year did he not direct the best picture?

they are not all "pre-assigned", don't be ridiculous.
IMO Jon Stewart was a bust as the host. I like Stewart on his show a lot,
but I don't think the Oscars is the best gig for his skills
