78th Annual Academy Awards
It's that time of year again and since Adventures is a whore to watching films, we present to you the important listing of Oscar nominations and our predictions for winners. Not surprisingly, Brokeback Mountain will probably win an avalanche of trophies but there's still plenty of room for competition with many nominees worthy of the award. It all kicks off on March 5 so there's still time for the movie houses to flex their muscles and promote their films but here's how we see the pay-off landing. Bold denotes our prediction winner and an asterisk indicates if it's a film we really loved.Enjoy!

What about best director? I reckon that will go to Ang Lee (or maybe Speilberg as there seems to be a trend of best actor and director being awarded to different films).
I agree with most of those, barr best supporting actor. I think its George Clooney's year and with his double wammy of nominations, its more likely he'll get the actor's nod as opposed to director.
You're right - I've included it now. I'll be happy to put stunts in there when the Academy recognise their dedication. Incredible you have a section for make-up and yet not a single category for choregraphing.
Looking forward to Jon Stewart hosting too - should prove funnier than Chris Rock - great stand up artist whose material simply isn't suitable for the Oscars. Then again, Jon Stewart hosts the Daily Show - attacking all areas of values so it should prove interesting.
I'm not a huge fan of the Oscars, but I would watch it if H was watching it too. However I don't think that I could put up with a night of Brokeback Mountain, not matter how good it is.
As for the stuntman/woman/person category, they should have one of those without question. Stunt professionals risk their lives making films look great - if they put bums on cinema seats they should get thanked.
I don't think I've seen enough popular films this year to see one win an Oscar - I think The Constant Gardner and A History Of Violence are the only films on your list that I've seen! Would love to see Crash though.
Sandra Bullock... outstanding! :P
