		But I have warned her, with her multiple nominations, that gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins.
		Geena Davis seemed pretty calm as she picked up her award for best actress TV series drama, spinning a charming story of a little girl who had tugged on her dress earlier and said, "Because of you I want to be president one day." Except it didn't happen, confessed the star of Commander in Chief.
		The first award of the night went to George Clooney for his supporting role as a CIA agent in Syriana.

	(Almost) sure things (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Academy voters are in a rebellious mood this year: In their nominations for the 76th Annual Academy Awards, the members gave notice that they do not intend to follow the path laid out so nicely for them by pundits like myself.
		The Academy's documentary committee has ignored director Errol Morris for so many years that it was something of a shock to see a nomination for his (and Michael Williams') "The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons From the Life of Robert S. McNamara" (Sony Pictures Classics).
		Lions Gate's "Girl With a Pearl Earring" could win awards for cinematography, costume design and art direction; such is the beauty of this fictional exploration of the world of Dutch master Johannes Vermeer and the painting of his most enigmatic and beloved portrait.

		Acadmy Award® winner Billy Bob Thortoon, Holly Hunter, Morgan Freeman and Kirsten Dunst star in this gripping, emotionally-charged story of a paroled murderer's search to reconcile a single, spontaneous moment in his past that changed the course of his life forever.
		There, he encounters three people that hold the key to his redemption: a self-destructive young woman (Dunst), an enigmatic inner-city man (Freeman) and the older sister (Hunter) of the boy he killed.
		The Pianist is the true story of Polish Jew Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), a celebrated composer and brilliant pianist, who witnessed the brutal Nazi occupation of his beloved city, the creation of the Warsaw Ghetto and the deportation of his entire family to the labour camps.

	Oscar Beat by Steve Pond - The Envelope
		I guess Sid Ganis and all Academy members are so isolated in their gated communities west of Rebertson Blvd that they haven't heard all the criticism of AMPAS in the press around the world.
		Academy members know when the ballots are in the mail--and if there were a significant number of delays, the academy would hear about it very quickly and re-send ballots.
		Regardless of how people want to excuse it, 78th Academy Awards will always be remembered by many as the greatest Sham of all time, and it will be reminded again, and again, and again, as long as these people are alive.

	FactCheck.org A Fictional View of the Filibuster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Instead, it presents a view of the filibuster that is idealized and – to the extent it relies on movie footage – fictional.
		The public loved the movie, which was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won one, for best original story.
		Jefferson Smith's fictional 23-hour filibuster was actually eclipsed many years later in real life, when Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina held the floor for 24 hours and 18 minutes – still the Senate record for a one-man filibuster.

	USATODAY.com - 'Chicago' leads Oscar race with 13 nominations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the past, filmmakers have received nominations under assumed names, such as Joel and Ethan Coen as Roderick Jaynes, their film-editing pseudonym, or Robert Towne, who shared a screenwriting nomination for 1984's Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes under the name of his sheepdog, P.H. Vazak.
		In a letter last month to the academy, the 70-year-old was gracious about the honor but asked that it be deferred until he was 80, since he still has a shot at winning a best-actor Oscar outright.
		Academy officials said they would have O'Toole's honorary award on hand come Oscar night, whether or not he attends.

	75th Academy Awards: Dazzled by 'Chicago'
		When the Academy Award nominations were announced Feb. 11, I was sure of one thing: On Oscar night, "Chicago" might win Best Picture, but in the director's race, Pittsburgh's own Rob Marshall would finish behind the fabled Martin Scorsese ("Gangs of New York"), who has never won Hollywood's biggest prize.
		Moore was widely admired in "Far from Heaven" and also nominated in the supporting category for "The Hours." But Kidman got the most attention in that movie for her performance as Virginia Woolf and for playing down her looks with a fake nose.
		Sentimental favorites have not fared well at the Academy Awards in recent years, and Martin Scorsese, who probably should have won for "Raging Bull" or "Goodfellas" (and was not even nominated for "Taxi Driver") has had his share of headaches this year.

		The fifth nominated director joining the other four Best Picture-nominated directors was Richard Rush for the well-crafted, puzzling and startling film The Stunt Man (with three nominations and no wins), about a power-crazed film director who convinces a fugitive to become a stunt man in his cinematic creations.
		The Best Supporting Actress award was a surprise victory for Mary Steenburgen (with her sole career nomination) for her role as Lynda Dummar - the wife of real-life fortune hunter and Utah gas-station owner Melvin Dummar, and also a go-go-dancer, in Melvin and Howard.
		Although Dolly Parton received a Best Song nomination for music and lyrics for the title song in 9 to 5 (the film's sole nomination), she was un-nominated for her film debut role as married secretary Doralee Rhodes.

	Honorary Academy Awards Nomination : Viggo Mortensen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I think Viggo Mortensen deserves an academy award because before he was well known in films such as Lord of the Rings he was already making amasing films.
		However, I believe Viggo has become a hero to many people not only for the hero that he portraits in The Lord or the Rings but because on average there are not a lot of people who are familiar with the story Lord of the Ring or Viggo Mortensen.
		Many people could have played Aragorn and well...but each actor brings a certain gift to the role he or she plays...it is their own uniqueness...no one on the planet could have done as much justice to the role of Aragorn as Viggo did.

		But the Academy snubbed "Sideways" actor Paul Giamatti, who had won several critics' awards and was thought to be in the running for best actor.

		The 77th annual Academy Awards are scheduled for February 27.
