Theres so many awards shows these days. Theres the Emmys, the Golden Globes, the Spirit (Independent Film) awards, the Critics Choice awards, the Actors Guild Awards, more I'm forgetting, but they all mean nothing next to the prestige of the Oscars. You don't even have to win one, just being nominated for an Oscar forever changes an actors name to 'Academy Award nominated ..insert actors name here'. As a movie buff, the Oscars is the only award show that I really care about.

Eight nominations for Brokeback Mountain, which has already won Best Picture at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, and Actors Guild. Pretty much guaranteed the win for Best Picture here too.

Disappointed to not see King Kong nominated for Best Picture as well, and thoroughly disappointed to not see Naomi Watts at least nominated for Actress in a leading role for it.

Id like to see Munich win best picture. Saw a copy of it, really good movie. Id say it will either me Munich or Crash.
