first!
I adore wall-E
All of the movies that have best actress, best actor, best supporting actress, best supporting actor, best picture, and best director are available on watch-movies.net. Rachel getting married is the only one that is not. Unfortunately it is probably going to win the oscar for best actress even though i hated the movie. These performances are all available for free if you go to that website and watch them.
The Usual Suspects YAWWWWWWWn
PROPAGNADA MOVIES, ANTI REPUBLICAN---ANTI CATHOLIC----
PRO GAY---Anybody who still believes these awards are NOT POLITICAL ALSO BELIEVES IN THE TOOTH FAIRY.
tHE pERVY THREESOME MOVIE,and do you really think winslet's husband picked the best actress for the role and just because they are married....zeta, bening, robin penn...
I hope Kate Hudson wins
I'm loving me some Brangelina!! Good for them for being recognized for thier hard work. Sad to see Gran Torino not on the list.
Iron man should be nominated!! really!
Awards have about as much credibility as the Mainstream Media.
Do you really think these "roles' are awarded based on talent alone..
What fool pays to see propaganda ????
Beware of the TRILLION DOLLAR TROJAN HORSE.....
Yes spending our way out of a recession sounds realllllllly smart, especially whe the first 850 BILLION BAILOUT failed.
The only one that's deserving is Heath Ledger. His role in the Dark Knight was phenomenal. He played insane SO well. They may only be awarding it because he's gone, but I'm convinced he would have had several oscar worthy roles had he lived longer. So, he gets this one in my book. Any category with Brad Pitt in it is the equivalent of voting for the popular kid in high school, regardless of their talent (Or lack thereof in Brads case).
I hope this time Brangelina takes the Oscar they really deserve it. Beyond the great fame, they both are great actors and their performances are truly amazing.
Brad Pitt-Best Actor over Mickey Roarke?? Have you guys seen The Wrestler? OMG!! That movie is so good and everyone in it is excellent! Evan Rachel Wood as Mickey's daughter is heartbreaking, along with the performance of a lifetime by Mickey. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you haven't seen Mickey in this movie, please do so. It is heartbreaking & also the performance of his career. Thanks! Michelle
Go see The Wrestler if you want to see a
really good movie. Mickey Roarke is one
of the best I have seen in a long time.
Slumdog Millionare isn't bad but Mickey
has the best performance of any actor
this year and really deserves to win.
where is Leo???!!!!
Maybe if Brad and Ang both win they will fade. Look at Nicole Kidman. She won then every movie after has tanked. They keep giving her movies though so I guess my theory is wrong. Sorry, just thought.
only in HWood do you get rewarded for killing yourself...the ultimate act of selfishness.
Wonder if winslet thinks she really is a great actress and not just married to a big shot director that happens to give her the best roles.LOL.
White construction workers need not apply for the jobs democrats will create.
White construction workers need not apply for the jobs democrats will create.
No Seriously not a joke.....
WHITE construction workers need not apply for democratic govt. created jobs ...no seriously.
brad and angelina sux!!! no oscars for them!! i wish jennifer a. was in the list!!
I'm going to boycott the oscars if Jolie wins. Anne Hathaway so deserves it.
Meryl to win. Loved her in this movie. :-)
miley cyrus (bolt) to win love herrrrrrrrrrr til the end go miley
Benjamin Button deserved the 13 nominations it received. It’s just not the view of the academy but the people have spoken as well. With over 100 million made at the domestic box office, this movie is a bona fide hit. Good luck to Mr. Brad Pitt. I hope he takes home the Best Actor prize and Taraji Best Supporting Actress. Let the talent of Mr. Pitt speak and not his personal life with the equally talented Ms. Jolie.
By the way i meant to say I hope Kate Winslet wins.
By the way what talent Strange. I hope Brad doesn't win he and angelina are about as overrated as a they come. Now Taraji I hope she wins
THERE ARE MORE DESERVING NOT MENTIONED HERE.
Where is Clint, and Gran Torino? Colin Farrell, In Bruges? IRON MAN!?! Very strange set of choices if they actually considered all movies from all of 2008!
Marley and Me was more enjoyable and effective than Curious Case which fell flat haf-way through. And all that CGI was annoying and obvious.
She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site """"" S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m""""""" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?
goooooooooooo brangelina!!!!! love to see you all haters sucks when they will get those OSCARS!!!!!!!!
Oscars still same o same o. I don't believe in it as actors/actresses campaign to win. It's not like Golden Globes where International Press pick the winners. You can really tell that the Academy wants Brad and Angelina to win as they took out Revolutionary Road and Gran Torino. I sure can't believe it! Kate Winslet, who is a great actress, should win this Oscar but they chose to pick the Reader instead. Mickey Rourke is a good actor but with the Brangelina promo , guess who's gonna win? W/ their adoption and New Orleans questionable humanitarian projects (they sure used these for publicity & have been targeting for the Oscars for a while). Never believed in Brad, he was only good in 1 movie Legends of the Fall and Angelina was only good in Girl Interrupted. Brad is boring & Angelina is always overacting. But they will win because the Academy wants that so it will be big news that a couple wins this year. This is well "cooked". No wonder Marlon Brando & some other actos refused the statuette---he & many know the Oscar is well oiled & does not really mean anything. It is for whoever is powerful in Hollywood. Sad, Hollywood hasn't changed. It's all glitz & glamour, no substance. Unbelievable----still can't digest that Gran Torino did not even make it----Clint Eastwood was great in it. It is a movie that has a message, not fantasy, not sci-fi, not hollywood romance..............oh well.
I will continue to boycott Brangelina's movies. They are lying, cheating, adulters and are only part-time actors (agree with 8:34 pm). Brad was also okay in Troy, but that was in 2004. Angelina, acts the same victimized character in all of her movies. They are paying for these oscars and I refuse to watch this bogus ceremony, who is not recognizing pure and genuine talented actors. Everyone should revolt!
She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site """"" S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m""""""" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?
Tomei gave a powerful and memorable performance in Wrestler.
