No real surprises in the nominees this year, though it's interesting that the 5 Best Pictures line up with the five Best Directors--that doesn't happen often.

Also of note is the dreamy George Clooney, who racked up four nominations--only two other people have ever had four nominations in a single year (Warren Beatty and Orson Welles), so that's pretty cool.

More importantly, all the shiny CG animated films got snubbed for best Animated Film. Course, I completely agree with having Corpse Bride, Howl's Moving Castle, and Wallace and Gromit duking it out.

I can't believe Hitchhiker's Guide's "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" got snubbed for best song.

I hope best Documentary goes to "March of the Penguins," but there is a good chance that it will be backstabbed by "Murderball."

Eh, this year's Oscars looks bland and boring with all of the main categories a one horse race.

Cinderella Man only got two nods. *grumble*

I agree, of course, I haven't been terrible impressed by the movies released last year. I should also say that it seems that who actually wins an oscar in a particular category sometimes depends on who people want to win for political or social reasons and not which movie actual has the best song, score, director, custom, ect.. I get a little tired of the political/social engineering that hollywood tries to do and the oscars is when it is most apparent. Or I'm just bitter that "So long and Thanks for All the Fish" wasn't even nominated.

I'm crushed that Batman Begins didn't get nominated for sound editing.

Poor Peter Jackson. No big kudos for King Kong.

Batman Begins did get a Razzie Nod. Katie Holmes for Worst Supporting Actress.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

she wasnt that bad.

[Fellfrosch]

I apprecdiate her much more in the role looking back on it now on DVD. She wasn't bad, she was just up against Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Liam Neeson--anyone would look bad.

I think Katie Holme isn't up to par with the rest of her competition for the Razzie. I don't think being miscasted is enough of a reason. Her competition gave truly aweful performances.

I also hope that Tom Cruise sweeps all the categories he's been nominated for in the Golden Rasberries.

Some of Katie Holmes's attention has to do with activities outside the movie studio. People are basing their opinions of her acting on her strange behavior with Mr. Cruise. It doesn't seem fair, but there it is. I thought she was fine in Batman Begins.

What do you know, I don't care about Katie Holmes. But did Fell really call George Clooney "dreamy"? Ew.

[House of Mustard]

I'm surprised that Bewitched got so many Razzie nominations.  It wasn't good, but it wasn't awful.

Besides -- where was Stealth?

[Fellfrosch]

My opinion of the Razzies fades every year, because they seem more focused on celebrity than on any actual quality of the movies involved. Of course, you could say that about the Oscars as well, so maybe it's a subtle commentary.

[House of Mustard]

On similar lines, Tom Cruise's Razzie nomination is also unjustified.
