yeah it was it just had good special effects
they boasted all the time about how just about the entire movie was shot in front of a Green Screen.... who cares?

Was the Aviator shot in front of a green screen? Or are you confusing that with that Sky Captain/Jude Law movie? I think that one was all hyped because of the green screen shooting.

Could be wrong, but I clearly remember hearing so much about Sky Captain whilst it looks horrendous to me.

"Tupac: Resurrection" (Paramount) Lauren Lazin and Karolyn Ali An MTV - Amaru Entertainment, Inc. Production

I didn't see this, was it good?

Jamie Foxx, "Collateral"

He stole the show in that movie, he was phenomenal. He's going to be huge, he has genuine talent. You could see it coming after "Any Given Sunday".

"A Very Long Engagement" Bruno Delbonnel (Warner Independent Pictures)

the only thing the movie was good for gets nominated, HOFD pwns every movie in 2004 in terms of cinematography.

Looks like Michael Moore got the shaft on this one. I thought it was a sure given that Farenheit 9/11 would be at least nominated for "Best Documentary." Looks like the Academy went conservative this year.

I'd really like to see Don Cheadle snab the "Best Actor" award. His role in Hotel Rwanda was phenomenal, extremely underrated as far as what Hollywood's been talking about lately.

EDIT: This is from another forum:

He could'nt Recive a Nomination because he tried to put Farranhyte 9/11 on TV prior to the Election waiving the 1 year or so rule that the Film industry have w/ New Movies being selected to oscar nominee Status as long as there Movie don't run on AIR TV or one of the Basic Channels like 2 4 5 7 9 & 11 . So Mr Moore Had signed over a Waiver stating he would pull out of the Nomination so that his 9/11 Film would be played prior to the Election on Broadcast TV

I liked The Aviator. Wait, I shouldn't be embarrased, lots of people like it.


I liked The Aviator.

Care Factor: 0

Same here.....but only because last years movies were so bogus and similar...........but hey maybe Im just saying that because their were no War movies by Steven Speilberg.

Jamie Foxx has talent, but wtf is he doin with that tattoo on his head.....it doesnt suit his personality at all.....hes trying to look like Keely(spellcheck) of Slayer.

Yeah! that was a great documentary and I'm glad too see it getting some recognition.

I liked The Aviator.

And so did I

He's playing mike tyson in a movie. ..no seriously he is.

Jamie Foxx owns....where is the Jamie Foxx show on fta? they should play that again here.

these awards are just so that actors can pat each other on the back for doing nothing. They should give awards to teachers, doctors, cops, firemen etc...

That show owned, it used to always be on late at night caus it didnt get good ratings.

Don't think they show it on fta any more or even Foxtel for that matter.

3098+2= 4000



I've liked the Aviator so far, yeah Leonardo's gay but he did alright.

LMAO!
I want to see Ray, but I'm too lazy to go to the movie theater, which is like 5 blocks away from my house

3/4 of these movies i've never even heard about
this award show is a joke, imo

I'm looking to see the Ray Charles film. I hope it wins.

Why is Shrek 2 still in there?

I'm watching "Ray" tonight, I've got it on DVD somehow...
