Ok. So for those of you who know me this will not come as a shock that I am writing this entry. I was looking at the Lord of the Rings site this morning only to discover that the Oscar nominations had come out and that my favorite book/movie has recieved 11 nominations!!!!! The best part about it is that it was finally nominated for Best Picture. Hopefully this will be the year for the cast and crew to finally get the recognition they deserve. Just a side note: I was flipping threw the channels on TV last night and I heard one critic say that if LOTR doesn't win for Best Picture the LA Riots are going to look like preschool compared to the riots over this, and I have to say that I agree!
Another note. Recently the movie recieved four Golden Globe awards, including Best Motion Picture-Drama. Hopefully the Oscar people will follow the lead.
Other nominations for the Oscars were:
Master and Comander: The Far Side of the World - 9 nominations
Cold Mountain - 7 nominations
Mystic River and Seabiscuit - 6 nominations
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - 5 nominations

I dunno - I saw lost in translation, and didn't think it was all that great. I think it should win for director, and maybe Bill Murrey, but not best picture.
Lord of the Rings fans think otherwise. I haven't seen Lost in Translation, but LOTR has been shafted in this category for the last two years. It's about time that they get the recognition they deserve for such an epic set of films!

Lost in Translation deserves the Oscar for best picture. Will it win? Probably not, and that's a shame
