OSCAR TIME: The Academy Award nominations will be announced at 5:38 tomorrow morning; as the Oscars have been called "the gay man's Super Bowl," it's apropros that they be announced during Super Bowl Week. Anyway, I predict the Best Picture nominees will be:
- "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King"
- "Cold Mountain"
- "Mystic River"
- "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"
- "Lost in Translation"
No "Big Fish" unfortunately, but we can only hope. And no I don't care about the Golden Globes so therefore I have nothing to say about that, but the cineaste in me has a certain appreciation for the Oscars.
UPDATE: Four out of five ain't bad- substitute "Seabiscuit" for "Cold Mountain"; don't blame me, I saw neither film.
