I figured out today that when the Oscar nominations come out on January 27, I will only be perfectly happy if the following conditions are met.

1. "Lost in Translation" for Best Picture
2. Bill Murray for Best Actor
3. Scarlett Johannsen for Best Actress
4. Sofia Coppola for Best Director (Sensing a pattern? It was my favorite movie all year long, okay?)
5. Sean Astin for Best Supporting Actor
6. Jack Black and the kids from "School of Rock" performing the title song because it's a Best Song nominee.
7. Johnny Depp for Best Actor

That's all it'll take, Academy. First four are easy, just give me those last three.

Oh, and if Charlize Theron can win Best Actress so she can make out with Adrien Brody when he gives her the award, that'd be nice, too.

EDIT: I can't believe I almost forgot Johnny! I feel shame.

Are we forgetting POTC? the last samurai? (were they in time for the awards?)

2. Bill Murray for Best Actor

7. Johnny Depp for Best Actor

If we can't have both, could we have 7.Johnny Depp for Best Pirate? He'd get that no problem! Except for Jason Isacs, he could have Best Supporting Pirate (because that croc was obviously the star).
=D

Have you been to www.hsx.com yet? The Hollywood Stock Exchange? You can bet on the outcome of the nominations- Lost In translation is a front runner.

Best actor...

Can't remember his name right now...but the guy who played Gollum in LOTR...Sure there was CG over the top of him, but he did do ALL of the acting...and very well I might add.

I'm with you all the way for "Lost in Translation." It was undoubtedly the best film of last year. I was blown away.

Andy Serkis.

I wish he was eligable too. Unfortunately the CGI disqualifies him. I don't suppose the small amount of time he spent playing pre-Gollum Smeagol counts.

Yeah...I could understand if he just did the voice...but he actually acted out all the scenes along with everyone else...A CGI "makeover" shouldn't have anything to do with it...

BLEH!!!

You know, I watched that scene in the theater and thought, "Ooo, Peter Jackson's trying to prove that there is an actor behind the CGI to anybody who can't figure it out."

I still say that if that if his performance is ineligible because you can't see the actor, John Hurt's nomination for "The Elephant Man" in 1980 should be revoked.

Damn straight! Although try convincing the Academy of that. (I'm positive that if you could take a peek at the Oscar ballots as they come in, you'd see a ton of nominations for him.)
