too bad that brokeback's gonna do so well... it really didnt deserve it. and that opinion is solely based on the fact that i dont think it was a great movie - not the content involved. before seeing it i was stoked about it, but not so afterwards...

 

best director really should go to Clooney

Doesn't some unknown "critically acclaimed" movie do well every single year at these stupid ass award ceremonies?

 

theyre usually only unknown to the mainstream population... those of us who are big into movies have usually at least heard about them, if not seen them. at least that's been the case for the last few years
