  • Sci-Tech Oscar nominees

    Posted on January 27th, 2004 phil No comments

    I believe that the technical awards are as important as the “Big Ones”, so here they are:
    The Award of Merit
    Scientific and Engeneering awards
    Technical Achievement

    These nominees were hard to find on the ‘net, my friends. I’m doing you all a favor. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

    As for the awards that will be given out on camera, I for one am surprised and happy that Master And Commander got a whopping 10 nominations, including Best Picture.

    Hmm…looking for Hulk…..nope, no nominations for Hulk.

    Just a reminder that we have a new Reviews Section which is now getting more and more in the way of content.

    Yes, I’m still redoing the site’s navigation and eventually it will be much easier to make out those two links under the logo.

  • Okay, the song is tapped out. Stop it.

    I really liked the song “All Star” by Smash Mouth.

    I loved it when it was featured at the end of “Mystery Men.”

    I liked it when it was in “Shrek”, but the song was a bit overexposed by then.

    I couldn’t believe that the song turned up again at the end of “Rat Race”, this time with an extended painful appearance by Smash Mouth before the song.

    Add to that all the ads and trailers it has been featured in.

    Guys! The song is played, man. So played. The last thing we need is to HEAR IT AGAIN at the end of an otherwise fine trailer for SHREK 2!

  • More on the Oscar noms

    Posted on January 27th, 2004 thehutch No comments

    Lots of surprises on the Oscar noms complete list.

    Check it out:
    Bill Murray as best actor for “Lost In Translation“, a film I’ve yet to see but you will all remember that even the trailer amazed me many months back.

    Surprising everyone who said that the acting was good but he wasn’t going to get it for an oddball role in a Disney movie…ladies and gentleman, Jonny Depp nom’d for best actor in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” Wow!

    The girl in “Whale Rider” is up for best actress. Double wow. I’m pretty sure Charlize Theron will be getting it for “Monster.”

    Blake Edwards will be getting a career achievement award. Guess the academy didn’t see the condom-fighting scene in “Skin Deep.”

    I am surprised that there weren’t any acting noms for anyone from “Lord of the Rings”, particularly Sean Astin as Samwise.

    Even more surprising: Will Ferrell up for best actor in “Elf”. Didn’t see that coming.

    OK, I’m kidding.
