I"M a upset that "DreamGirls" got snubbed best film and a director nod. Total stupidity.

Emily Blunt should have been nominated in the supporting actress catergory but it won't matter the Fab. Jennifer Hudson has got this award.

a little shocked Brad Pitt wasn't nomiated for Babel-been hearing great things about this movie and will be watching it tomorrow evening.

I am shocked that Dreamgirls was shut out of Best Pic. This is the wierdest nomination list in quite some time. Volver, which was being talked about so much--was shut out of Best Foreign film category. There is only 1 acting nomination for The Departed--and it went to Mark Wahlberg?? I have a feeling Little Miss Sunshine or Babel is going to win the Best Picture this year.

i'm happy with the main nominations for the most part....I agree Dreamgirls should have gotten a best picture nod, but the academy loves Clint Eastwood...I don't really understand how Mark Walhberg got a nom over Brad Pitt or Jack N....

And in the technical awards...Click for makeup and Poisiden for Special Effects...........come on academy are these jokes??????????

I noticed that Listen was nominated for best original song, but I thought that song was disqualified because it had more than 3 writers, but I also noticed beyonce's name wasn't credited for the song, did she take her name off the credits just so it could be nominated????

Just WOW!

I am shocked but estatic that Little Miss Sunshine got so much love. The Oscars hardly ever nominate comedy.

okay I found the answer to my own question, Beyonces name was dropped because an oscar committee found that she contributed the least to the song. But damn she sure will be pissed if that song wins the oscar. :lol:

I thought Leonardo would get in for Departed.

No Volver?

Helen Miren is probably the biggest Oscar lock, in Oscar history.

Meryl Streep takes her 14th Oscar Nomination.

Where is Jack Nicholson?

No DreamGirls for Best Picture? YES.

No Beyonce for Lead Actress? YES.

Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy Oscar Nominees? YES.

It would have been a sign of the apocalypse. Why give even more praise and recognition to that overblown diva.

I think Jennifer Hudson is a lock for Supporting Actress.

Best Actor will come down to Whitaker and O'Toole, with Whitaker ultimately edging O'Toole. If they cancel each other out, Will Smith will win. There's NO way Leo will win for Blood Diamond. The Departed? Maybe. I'm thrilled that Ryan was nominated even though he has no chance of winning. He was one of those candidates who may not have gotten it because no one's seen the movie.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "Best Achievement In Cinematography?" Is that just a consolation prize at the Oscars? LOL.

Because, although I'm not a movie whore, it surprises me that "The Black Dahlia" was nominated for ANYTHING. That movie was a complete bore and, quite frankly, not that impressive. Their LA didn't even LOOK like LA.

That said, surprised "Dreamgirls" was shut out of Best Picture and Best Directing. Hopefully, Jennifer Hudson will take it home and shove it in Simon's face.

    • You can watch it here without an app: https://www.cwtv.com/shows/tv-we-love/dynasty/
    • There are so many beats that could be played with relationships and history b/w  characters. But cast/set restrictions (and loust writing) are destroying that. Really liked seeing Jack and Nikki catch up. Trouble is, in the current version of Y&R it had to continue the entire episode. Hearing Lily talk on the phone to Maddie-how much better if we had actually seen the kids during Cane's return. Would the original actors return for a short stint? Maybe not and perhaps they don't feel a recast would work. All of this could have been avoided by letting BF be a new character. For the amount of difference it's made , there was really no need to bring back Cane.
    • Zeman said Marland created Barbara Jean Spencer, they called her Barbara until she and Monty decided Bobbie would be better as a nickname. It was almost Barbie IIRC, and they didn’t think that was right. She also has said on more than one occasion that she came in during the transition and Monty didn’t hire her, but ended up liking her. So Scotty and his friend must have been talking about her. This episode was fascinating. I am so happy it was shared. I can absolutely see why the show was in trouble. It’s lifeless and old fashioned as far as dialogue and some of the staging. Monty herself said she threw those episodes out, so that makes me think they were even worse. Which really made sense to me watching this because I only saw a glimpse of Monty in the less static scene with Rick moving all around while talking to David and the same type of staging with Scotty, Laura, and his friend’s name I cannot remember right now. That long ass scene through Monica’s eyes was very old fashioned as far as style. I can also see why the ratings started rising relatively quickly. Most of the earliest Monty shows I have seen are a few months later, and the show is very different. It moves, the characters are more intense, the staging has movement, and it feels more modern for the time. By the time you get to 1979 it’s really rocking and I totally get it in a way I didn’t before just from seeing this. Genie was so young to play that story with creepy Hamilton. And Kin sure was cute as nice guy Scotty.
    • Kate previously shadow directed or directed some scenes? on Days before GH, so it's been a passion of hers for a bit.
    • Who is monitoring her spending? Maybe the upshot is that Leslie is spending way beyond her means and she'll end up broke again. The house will be repossessed etc, Part of her comeuppance.
    • Kimberly McCullough shadowed at GH and completed an ABC directing program, but I don’t believe she was ever credited as director or given an episode of her own to do. One of the reasons why she got work so quickly was because she had multi-cam knowledge from years on soaps.
    • Do not apologize for this. I was thinking just today it's bringing me fond memories of when I was a teen of Angie and Jessie. Jenny and Greg, Philip and Beth. And although they were teens, Steve and Betsy.  I like a good teen story. 
    • Yeah Suzanne mentions Y&R here  (no spoilers in the article) https://www.tvinsider.com/1227485/days-of-our-lives-suzanne-rogers-anniversary-maggie-storylines-mickey-victor/
    • I wonder if she may be transitioning to behind the scenes.  How many GH actors have also directed while acting on the show?  
    • Despite my wish that Ric get revenge on Alexis and the gang, I really enjoyed their scenes today. RH and NLG have honestly never lost their chemistry with one another. Seems like Carly genuinely let herself give into Brennan today and regret it. Also just cause I smoked earlier it, it randomly hit me for the first time in over a decade. They had Michael murder Claudia played by the actress that played all of the most important early Michael stories. Kinda twisted lol
