Bleh to all of them.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Johnny Depp got screwed.

**Jack_N_The_Green** · February 28th, 2005, 01:21 AM

have you seen ray? jamie foxx was awesome

the role of j.m. barrie for depp was just another role for him...now next year, when he gets nominated for both pirates II and charlie and the chocolate factory...no academy judge will be able to choose b/w the two and he'll get 2 awards

**NotSoSilentBob** · February 28th, 2005, 01:27 AM

No, but I've seen enough of Foxx to know that he isn't enough of an actor for that award.

Nor was Denzel Washington for Training Day.

Foxx's Supporting Actor nomination for Collateral was a joke as well.

**Jack_N_The_Green** · February 28th, 2005, 01:30 AM

oh hell...you didn't just dis denzel for training day? he did a hell of a job in that role...*king kong ain't got **** on him*

i do a lot of acting and i try to characterize so well that ppl. don't see michael perry on stage, they see my character...and i think foxx did that...i saw ray charles on the screen...until foxx took his glasses off near the end in that dream sequence

**NotSoSilentBob** · February 28th, 2005, 01:31 AM

Washington's performance in Training Day was no different than any other role he has ever played. I'll give him one thing, he certainly has the "black man with a chip on his shoulder" character down pat.

Ethan Hawke was better in that film than Washington.

**Jack_N_The_Green** · February 28th, 2005, 01:32 AM

i thought ethan hawke sucked in it

what about the rebuttal on the foxx thing?

**NotSoSilentBob** · February 28th, 2005, 01:34 AM

What Foxx thing? I haven't seen Ray. Don't really have any desire to watch it either, although I'll probably end up seeing it one of these days.

I don't think much of Foxx as an actor.

**Jack_N_The_Green** · February 28th, 2005, 01:35 AM

well then, how can you have an opinion on foxx winning???

it wasn't normal foxx...it was ray charles

**NotSoSilentBob** · February 28th, 2005, 01:37 AM

The same way I can have an opinion on anything. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Depp deserved the Oscar for Pirates of the Carribean and again this year for Finding Neverland.
