She has lost more than anybody in the history of the awards and is waaaaaaayyy due for a 2nd Leading Oscar! Gah! If that Fetus from An Education or whatever wins after only starring in 1 movie, I'm going to throw a hissyfit. The way I see it, you gotta pay your dues, have a great body of work, be truly respected in the industry and prove over and over again that you're more than a one trick pony before you win a statue. Which is almost always true in the male category but somehow irrelevant in the female one. They just give it to whoever has nice tits. That's why the list of past winners is littered by the likes of Halle Berry and Reese Witterspoon. @ this sentiment. I love Streep but she certainly does not deserve to win over Carey, especially for a performance that honestly was not too impressive. In fact she shouldn't even be nominated over lesser possibilities like Sidibe and Cornish (though Sidibe is quickly surpassing her). You shouldn't win an Oscar just based on your entire filmography. That should be for an honorary award although the Academy often makes the mistake of awarding bores like Michael Caine just because of the "vet" factor. Fact is, Mulligan > all and she should win.

Too bad I cannot find an online version. The Envelope, part of the LA Times, has a buzz thing. They have a list of all the probables in the various races, along with some long shots. Their thoughts are pretty fascinating.

As if giving one to JHud was any better.

I for one want a good old year where all four are American and we get at least one "Goodie" (A Meryl or other fun good American actor) A fun awards show: Best Actress: Meryl Streep Actor: Leo DiCaprio Sup. Actress: The main girl from Precious Sup. Actor: Mo'Nique

I don't think there was a single movie that year that I'd feel good calling the best. It was wretched. And I don't see why everyone is so convinced the Precious girl is a lock for Best Actress. This is Ellen Page all over again.

She did a'ight, but nothing special, I mean they'd be awarding her just for not wearing make-up and looking frumpy if they did. On the other hand, Sidibe would be deserving of a best actress nomination but maybe not the win, I'd have to see the other perfs first. And I liked Crash. I don't really think it deserved Best Picture though, but I don't think Slumdog Millionaire did either (and I liked it too).

Nobody could even be realistically racist in it, either. They all had to say or do really hateful and OTT stuff. If they had even had ONE character who was just racist in the usual "No special favors for..." way, I could have stomached it a bit more.

Everyone else who I knew that saw it enjoyed it. Then months and months later, here it gets a nom and then the win at the Oscars against the controversial favorite. Did it deserve the win? No. But, I also don't think it deserves the harsh criticism it gets because of being nominated and winning. And I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone in this thread, I also heard people in real life start criticizing it after it won and you guys are just reminding me of it. It's become a victim of its success.

Maybe the worst year for traditional english language awards bait movies, but in general probably not. 2005 gave the universe The Proposition, Brick,C.R.A.Z.Y.,Paradise Now,Hustle & Flow,Cache,The Death Of Mr Lazerescu, L enfant , The 3 Burials Of Mequiades Estrada,The Devil And Daniel Johnston,Romantico,Junebug,El Aura and Grizzly Man.

Don't forgot Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Great foreign film.
