Babel is a bit chaotic

little miss sunshine was good but a oscar nominee ? come on !

Atleast it kept dreamgirls out
The Queen is not FUNNY its a biography the comedy one is named Mario antinette or something crazy like that.

Haven't seen blood diamond yet, its on my watch list which has gone pretty full of late i'll probably get some free time in Feb.

 

[Desolator]

I hope Will Smith gets the Oscar this year. His acting was amazing in "In pursuit of Happyness"

 

[devilscallmedad]

But he totally doesn't deserve it DiCaprio has two performances which deserve a gold statue ( The Departed and Blood Diamond )

 

[radd]

you havent seen pursuit of happyness. you cant help but feel sad for will smith. he had so much stuff against him in that movie.
