If the Oscars were a “Popularity Contest” Ryan Gosling would not have been nominated for Half Nelson. He isnt as Famous as the other nominees to many people. and that film was not seen by ALOT of people. He’s a good actor and its a great film
So i must disagree with you. [#5]
======================
The Oscars may not be a popularity contest but it is far from being unbiased. As was stated in another article nominators for the Oscars try to steer away from being Golden Globes part deux. In almost all recent awards the nominations will be different than the Golden Globes.
Who goes to the stage and picks up the Oscar for the best movie and keeps it?

I WANT JENNIFER HUDSON TO WIN BOTH THE AWARDS SHE IS NOMINATED FOR!!! COOOOOME ON JEN!!! I WANT HER TO WIN FOR THE SUPP. ACTRESS AND FOR THE SONG - THAT WAY BEYONCE CAN BE EVEN MORE JEALOUS!
===============================
I am sure Beyonce will be happy for Jennifer Hudson if she wins. It’s papa Mathew Knowles I am worry about. lol
Watch out for Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunchine)!!!!
What a bummer for Brad. After all those crap about the GG RC I wonder if they’ll bother to go to the Oscars.
Since Brad’s not nominated I’ll be rooting for Djimon Honsou. I’m sure Maria will be happy her man got nominated.
Now, other guy that was having a respectable award season and didn’t made the Oscar nominations is Michael Sheen (The Queen) I see this one more of an upset than Brad’s case.
I think The Departed will win best pic and the runner looks like it’s going to be Little Miss Sunshine.

I am sorry but not interested in these people. Honestly BP was the only reason I watched the Golden Globes. BP is a power player and to be snubbed will hurt the ratings unless he graciously agrees to attend.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
I am very disappointed BP didn’t get a nomination either, but hopefully like me you will support Babel because it was a great movie and it is an honor for him to have been in it. :)
Maybe someone with knowledge about the behind-the-scenes politics of these things can help out here. It seems to me that the best picture award is between The Departed and Babel. Babel seems to be truly a one-of-a-kind original film to me, whereas I think I read The Departed was a remake of a Japanese film that had been done earlier? So in that case it seems Babel would have the edge. But Babel was also a smaller, indie-type movie while The Departed was a much more box office, commercial success movie. Not sure how much either of these things figure into the academy’s decision.
I agree with you totally. I didn’t even see Dreamgirls, but I thought it was classic that Beyonce got snubbed at the GGs. She is really getting totally annoying lately, she thinks she’s all that just a little too much.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
His father is the one I can’t stand, did you heard what he said after the GG? What a moron!
Oops I forgot The Departed and Leo D., I am Leo was nominated, and Martin S. for best director as well and happy that the Departed was also nominated for best picture, but I want Babel to win for best picture
The Departed = Infernal Affairs
have either Brad or Angelina ever presented at the Oscars?

___
You only watch the Globes for one person?
Brad is a “power player” [Lol] but so is pretty much everyone else who was Nominated. And complaining about him being “snubbed” is crazy, not EVERYONE can be nominated. If that was the Case ALOT of actors and actresses were “snubbed”.
Brad is not a Egotistical person so I’m sure he doesn’t care about being nominated, I bet he’s happy enough with his film [Babel] receiving 7 nods.
And Ratings for that show sucked last year, and they might suck again, but not because Brad wasn’t nominated, because the show itself is boring.. to many categories people don’t care about.
I’m sure he will attend the show, but all that will do is make the Red Carpet the most important part, Once the show starts people will change the channel like they always do, and turn back when the important categories are announced.
BABEL FOR BEST PICTURE.

Although BP’s work in Babel warranted recognition, I’m not surprised that he wasn’t nominated. For me, I think that his performance in Babel is something to build on and I have a feeling that parts like Richard were the very roles he was waiting for. So, not sad at all.
===========
piper, I totally agree with you. Yes, I was a little sad that Brad didn’t get an Oscar nod, but, I do feel that this part has rejuyvenated his career and that anything is possible for the future. So, no worries about what doesn’t happen now, I feel something even more substantial is on the horizon for Brad and Angelina in the future.
AJ– Oscars 04
BABEL, BABEL, BABEL. GO AND SEE THE MOVIE.

was that for me? thanx
That list proves that most nominations aren’t box office. I think only The Departed, The Devil Wears Prada and The Pursuit of Happyness & Dreamgirls are films that have had boffo box office.
Merhaba Medi,
How are you feeling? I hope you’re well.
Brad was thanked for the Departed at the Golden Globes by whom I can’t remember but I have it on tape. If I wasn’t at work right now, I would go check it out. The director didn’t mention Brad when he won, but the film won in another category and the suit who spoke mentioned Brad first, and by title, executive producer. I remember being very pleased. There was also another Brad mentioned further down in the thank yous.
I feel so sad that Brad did not get nominated, I was thinking this morning before they were announced how happy it would be at the Jolie-Pitt house with Brad’s parents there and all. They would have had a big ol celebration..
But alas Brad has a beautiful life with his love and their children. Just really sucks right now. :(
Are You Okay?
The Departed was nominated and Brad being producer (Plan B) might appear (hoping) but i want Babel to win for best picture

It’s perfectly natural to be sad about, for a little while, but sulking is completely out of the question!
Sulking is characteristic of ___ and her ilk, people who are so busy gloating about a perceived slight that they forgot about their lauded predictions about where Brad would’ve ended up after his liberation; on the scrap heap, alone, and suffering a career slump. Instead, he is the co-head of a family; his arms are full with his children, his woman, and loyal friends; and he’s spearheading projects that haters could only dream of.
Brad is golden.
I am sad that Brad was not nominated as well. I wanted for him an Oscar win to
place next to Angie’s at home. Two beautiful oscars for two beautiful people. That
would have been so sweet.
wasn’t Brad Grey involved in the Departed?
