Oscar fever is taking over bird flu...till the results are let out on March 5th. While I dont exactly agree with all the choices that have made it to the nomination list.. I am really dissapointed that most of these movies have not yet been released in India. Take alook at some of the nominations we coud'nt treat our eyes with so far:
Brokeback Mountain( For Best Film)
Good Night and good Luck ( For Best Film/Lead Actor)
Munich ( For Best Film)
Hustle & Flow ( For Best Lead actor)
Syriana (For Best Supporting Lead actor)
North Country ( For Best Lead Actress)
It is a fact that more and more Hollywood movies have been releasing almost simultaneously in this part of the world, which.once upon a time could happen only in your dreams. However towards the end of the calendar year, local distributors choose to wait for the oscar nominations for releasing movies that make headlines. An " Oscar Nomination" obviosly earns the movie a brownie point and helps draw more crowds especially away from Bollywood movies, which is a not an easy proposition at all times.
I'm eagerly waiting for the release of "Munich" (everybody's raving about Eric Bana's tremendous performance) and "North Country"( for Charlize Theron and Sean Bean, of course!)

Uh, Uh, Brokeback Mountain... the story of two gay cowboys... you just HAVE to watch it...
Not to forget Crash and Capote. Those and Good Night and Good Luck are 2 film I'm looking forward to. (Nevermind whether they release in India or not, we know where to look for them ;) )
Gollum: Crash &Capote are already running in cinemas in Mumbai...Brokeback Mountain releasing on March 10. Your quotes withing the brackets....I live by it! ;-}
HOW, Do u think it wuld hav lookd if eric b /viggo m exchangd their roles in troy / FOTR ?
why is everyone "riding on the back" (pun intended |;-p) of brokeback mountain?
who knows? it might get away with the awards thanks to a last minute casting vote by Sir Elton J and David F !!! some people !!
what became of classics like wedding crashers?

Crash is "Coming soon" in Chennai. No details regd. Capote. :(
LOL @ Goromir's comment on Elton/Brokeback. (You are my captain, my king). But Eric Bana and Viggo exchanging their roles. NO WAY!!!! I loved their respective roles - brooding and shaggy Aragorn , Viggo did justice to the role (remember "If by my life or death I could protect you, I will" in FoTR?). He was the perrrrfect Aragorn (albeit Eric Bana's performance of Hector was great)
