Plus, it seemed like even though they were all over the place then, their decisions usually made sense. <BR/><BR/>Today's nominations just make it even harder to take this group seriously. Two of their original screenplays are adapted, and one of the writers didn't even write the original really adapted screenplay that he's nominated for. Now they've revoked poor Viola Davis's nomination because I guess they couldn't count before and didn't realize until later on today that there were 7 nominees for supporting actress instead of 6. Those are just the major things that stick out.Rich Aunt Pennybagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005421089633289280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39280356098652946022008-11-30T23:03:00.000-05:002008-11-30T23:03:00.000-05:00I'm also miffed that "Burn After Reading" was comp...I'm also miffed that "Burn After Reading" was completly snubbed.

Again, I don't agree that he's supporting, but I can see how they justified it.<BR/><BR/>However, the most ridiculous example of category fraud has to be Jamie Foxx in 'Collateral'. You know, the film that started with his character, followed his character and his character's arc through the entire story as he tried to overcome his conflict (Tom Cruise), and then finally ended with his character having triumphed. Yep, sounds like a supporting role to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-54989791303711314782008-11-30T22:21:00.000-05:002008-11-30T22:21:00.000-05:00City of Ember!
