I don't see anything beating it. There are a couple that have a
chance.

-Master and Commander
-Lord of the Rings
-Mystic River

Other than those, I don't think anything will be able to touch Kill
Bill for best picture, not to mention all of the other awards it will
win.

It is cool to see that about 10 years after Tarantino got screwed by
not winning best picture for Pulp Fiction, he will get what he
deserves by winning best picture for Kill Bill. Justice is serverd.
Who could possibly think that Forrest Gump was better than Pulp
Fiction in the first place?

Gladiator doesn't really fit in "fantasy or action movie"
Gladiators is more towards realism and historical. It has some action sure,
but that is not the basis of the movie. And it is closer to history/reality
than it is to fantasy.

I didn't think gladiator even deserved nomination. I thought it was
excellent action movie, but it really wasn't that historically
accurate. Almost all action movies are based on reality, but rarely
follow it realistically. The gladiator kind of reminds me of Chow Yun
Fat's "The Killer". An action movie that was great in both action and
plot, but not quite Oscar quality. Was it a slow year for movies when
Gladiator was nominated?

I don't think it was, but Gladiator obviously spent the most money among
the competitors...

It got to the point where you'd see an ad for the movie during every

As a sort of cumulative consolation prize for Jackson's first two
hyper-revisionist Tolkien-for-dummies abominations being passed over, I
would not be surprised at all to see ROTK win Best Picture and Best
Director. The mere contemplation of such an atrocity makes me want to feed
myself to a Balrog, but there's nothing I can do to stop the workings of
merciless fate, I fear. May the Valar turn it aside...

Taking this thread more seriously than it deserves:

Of the pictures released thus far, Mystic River and Lost in Translation
will get nominated. LOTR: ROTK will be nominated.

And you've got to realize that Oscar season hasn't even started yet.
There will be a bunch of films released late in the year (which get the
bulk of their run in January) for the sake of getting attention as well
as other more serious pictures.

e.g. The Girl in the Pearl Earring, The Company, House of Sand and Fog,
Cold Mountain, etc.

Kill Bill will have to be lucky to do more than pick up a few technical
nominations. Tarantino has an outside shot at a directorial nom, but
that's more a function of his name than the film. Cinematography and
Editing seem likely choices.

I'll be sad if LiT gets nominated. Saw it, didn't hate it, liked Bill and
little squeezemeat Scarlett, but I won't see it again. Poor little girl
married a snorer, displayed admirable morals as did Bill, mostly. Nothing
Oscar there, in my opinion. Biggest thing this film has going for it is that
Woody Allen would never understand it if he saw it 100 times.

Presuming that you're not joking -- I don't think there's a chance in
hell that "Kill Bill" will win Best Picture. I think that it's a big,
big stretch for it even to be nominated for Best Picture. It's got
mixed reviews, it's only half a movie, it's extremely violent,
Tarantino's star isn't shining nearly as brightly as it was ten years
ago -- and frankly, this isn't as interesting a movie as "Pulp
Fiction".

Straight up. I am a big QT fan, but I must admit I would be a little
upset if KB won best picture. I read the screenplay and knew it would
be QT's first pickle.
I really think the only reason it was written was because of the Matrix.
At the same time KB could have been great if a good editor had a little
more say so. Even my favorite writer SK did better with a good editor.
I still have not finished Bag Of Bones. There are brilliant scenes in
that book, but some parts are a little too drawn out for me.

I often wonder if any of those self-absorbed twits in your business
realize just how few people actually give a damn about these matters?
Or that fewer still even bother to watch this vile trash? The Oscars
amount to little more than a giant masturbation party thrown by what

Actually, the Oscars are usually the second-most-watched television show
in a given year. Last year was an unusually low-rated year, but still
over 1 in seven people in this country watched it. Normally, that number
is closer to 1 in 5.

If this fits any definition of "how few people" watch the show, I wonder
what you think qualifies as an event that a lot of people pay attention
to. Only the Super Bowl is usually watched by more.

how about the World Cup Final and the Olympics?

the one person besides Jack Valenti i know is a voter explained his
primary criteria in the acting awards as "i vote for my friends, the
people they're dating, and then the people my friends have broken up
with."

i enjoy the Oscars, and some movies come to my attention through the
Oscars, the BAFTA awards, and the Screen Actors Guild awards that i
wouldn't hear about otherwise. so to me they're good for something,
but i really can't take awards voted on by Denis Leary all that
seriously.

There's no one Olympic event that draws those kind of numbers with any
consistency, and the World Cup Final doesn't do nearly that well in this
country (which is a shame, but that's another post).

I think he was referring to just the US audience, which doesn't follow
soccer, and thanks to NBC's horrible "coverage", most Americans don't get
to see much of the Olympics at all.

I lost all respect for "the Academy" once "American Beauty" won best
picture. AB is now 5th on my all time worst movie list:
1. Cabin Boy
2. Mom and Dad Save the Planet
3. Magnolia
4. Judge Dredd
5. American Beauty
6. Peggy Sue Got Married Tonight

Plus I can't imagine a better performance than Sean Penn in "I am Sam."

Keep in mind, however, that many people love American Beauty. You're
entitled to your option, but I think it's silly to be pissed off at the
majority when they disagree with you.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm pretty damn sure this isn't
the case of the academy having their own pet movie that the public
doesn't get. This was also a fan favorite (in general).

You also need to see more movies (altho I can understand why you might
be afraid to after Mom and Dad Save the World).
Of course, I might think that because I'd say Cabin Boy is a unique and
good comedy. I think it was the funniest movie of its season, but I'd
need to see a list to be sure...
I've seen all the movies on your list except Magnolia, and honestly,
none of them deserve to be on an objectively horrible film list (this
doesn't mean they can't be on the list of movies you hate most; I loathe
Requiem for a Dream, even tho I understand that it's not a terrible
movie objectively) except Mom and Dad Save the World (and if you were a
big fan of the comic, then maybe Judge Dredd, altho for non-fans it
wasn't such a bad movie).

M&C looks like the competition to beat: It's being introduced in the
"sweet spot" of the year, looks like a rousing story, and ought to clean
house at the box office.

But IF it fumbles, not only will Kill Bill be nominated, I predict it
will win. (Eastwood's already received a Best Picture for "Unforgiven",
so the Academy isn't under any pressure to "owe" him anything.)

LotR will pull 'em in, but Jackson is a 'B'-quality director; it'll be a
good film, but not 'Best'.

Hey, 'Pukes with Wolves' beat 'Goodfellas'.

The Academy likes Eastwood and dislikes Tarantino.

deserves by winning best picture for Kill Bill. Justice is serverd.
Who could possibly think that Forrest Gump was better than Pulp
Fiction in the first place?
The same people who voted for Forrest Gump will be voting for the
Oscars again this year. Do you think they would even consider Kill
Bill? It will not get nominated. I guarantee it.

First, Kill Bill is not the kind of film that academy members
consider. Wild Bunch was an awesome film, but it never had a chance
either. They'll go for an epic period piece that has some violence
like Braveheart or Gladiator, but not a blood-soaked homage to the
martial arts films of the 1970s.

Second, it's the first part of a two-parter. Tarantino arbitrarily cut
his film into two parts and it shows.

Third, it isn't all that good, especially when compared to Pulp
Fiction or Jackie Brown.

It wasn't Tarantino's decision. Harvey Weinstein demanded it, fearing
(possibly correctly) that the attention span of the average American
moviegoer is now so short that by the end of a 3-hour film they'd have
forgotten its first two hours. Or simply refused to go see it. Or something.
Thereby once more proving H.L. Mencken's dictum: "No one ever went broke by
underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

It has got to be the epitome of irony that a movie without plot
composed almost entirely of loud music, fights and action scenes, is
being held up as a model of intellectual superiority above the level of
the attention deficient.

Right.

Because no company would ever make people pay for something twice that they
should have only had to pay for once.

Sorry - Kill Bill's already named for two separate releases. Volumes One and
Two.

yep expect it or wait a while for them to release it as one (Special / Directors
Edition). Thats why I am waiting from now on, for big releases.

There ain't no way I'm buying the first DVD releases of Matrix
Reloaded/Revolutions,
X-Men 2 or Terminator 3, as I know there are other special/ultimate editions
to follow later, and I can wait!

We'll get Vol 1 in the stores on DVD in time to help hype the second
one. Then we'll get volume two about six months later.

And I'll put solid money on us getting a recut-as-one-film version
about a year after that.

Actually, with LOTR, it's more like 7 times. The 3 theatrical
releases, the 3 extended editions and the inevitable king kamehaha
supersized gigantimus ~10 disc box set supreme.

However, the difference between LOTR and Kill Bill is that LOTR was
originally set up to be 3 separate films that tell a single story. We
knew that right from the start not only because they announced it that
way for the films, but the story had been divided into three parts in
book form since it was first published in the 1950s. So I have no
problem buying all the DVD releases because I want the two versions of
each film and I want it all in one complete set when they get around
to it.

Kill Bill, OTOH, did a last minute switcherino and split a single film
into two arbitrary parts after the fact. I refuse to buy KB in two
parts on DVD so I will wait for the complete box set.

Kill Bill can go in to the category of ultra-violent films to get
snuffed, the same category that The Gangs of New York, and Saving
Private Ryan filled. While Tarantino may have deserved and award in
the past, although he and Roger Avary did win for screenplay in 94',
this does not have that Tarantino flair as far as dialogue goes.
Also, the film's audience seems to be a little narrower with this one,
even though it has seen a better share of commercial acceptance as far
as his other films go. I'd be really surprised if a Tarantino Kung-fu
film won best picture.

At this point, it would seem Mystic River is the type of movie Academy

Personally, I would like to see something at least slightly offbeat like
Lost In Translation be considered.

Maybe you should actually see some of these movies before you start spouting
off about them. Aside from the fact that at least two films on your list were
NOT nominated for Best Picture, a third, The English Patient, has nothing in
common with any of the ones listed above. It's a dark, powerful, oblique film
full of violence and deception, about a zillion times more sophisticated than
Kill Bill.

Of the films you name, only "The English Patient" and "Terms of

Let's not forget that the Academy also gave Best Picture Oscars
to other sentimental fluff like "The Godfather", "The Godfather,
Part II", "Patton", "The French Connection", "The Deer Hunter",
"Platoon", "Midnight Cowboy", "Unforgiven", "Schindler's List",
"Gladiator", and those two ultimate chick flicks, "Braveheart" and
"The Silence of the Lambs".

Very good point. But I still don't think Kill Bill stands a chance in
hell. It's a very entertaining film but it is very narrow in focus
and appeal. The extreme bloodletting is NOT for everyone. It's funny
and it's campy but I don't think it's good enough to be "best
picture". I don't have any problem with the list above except maybe
for Gladiator. I think every film on that list above was better then

When you take into account the Academy's voting procedures, an Oscar
win is not necessarily an endorsement by the majority of the members.
Of the five films, you could theoretically win with only 20.01% of the
vote (three of the other nominees get 20% each, the fourth gets 19.99%).

The nominations themselves are actually a more statistically accurate
indicator of the Academy's tastes because they presumably show the
range of films that garnered enough support (by fair means or foul) to
get into the top five.

First off, it has almost no real story. Plus the Academy consists of old
farts that hate violence.

It is cool to see that about 10 years after Tarantino got screwed by
not winning best picture for Pulp Fiction, he will get what he
deserves by winning best picture for Kill Bill. Justice is serverd.
Who could possibly think that Forrest Gump was better than Pulp
Fiction in the first place?
Don't get me wrong...I liked "Kill Bill"--its just not THAT good.
