Well, Michael Moore should have counted his blessings and submitted his film for Best Documentary at this year's Acadamy Awards, now he has been completely shut-out. At least that Bible-toting, born-again Freakboy, Gibson, only got ass-kissy nominations like best make-up. If figure if they had a category for Most Gorey and Most Violent, he could walk away with two statues. After all, he knew that since his was to be a "religious" film, he couldn't have sex in the movie and we all know what that means for Hollywood - the least amount of sex, the more amount of violence if you want to sell tickets, especially to those equally bigoted, hypocritical, Bible-toting, born-again freakboys.
Now, Mr. Foxx on the other hand, has impressed me to no end this year. I remember him on "In Living Colour" from my salad days at Auburn. I would have never thought to see him as a double candidate for Oscar, even if the movie, "Collateral" totally sucked. Try to catch Jamie Foxx on "Inside the Actor's Studio". Not only is the man funny, but he tells some very poignant tales of his life and what has gotten him to where he is now. His acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was also a highlight to that evening. Click on Jamie Foxx "video" on this page if you missed it

As for "The Aviator", I think I would need to smoke a half kilo of killer weed to sit through three hours of watching the Leo DiCaprio drone spew out his lines. When will the general public and Oscar realize that although he just turned 30, he still looks and acts like his 12? I guess you could call it acting. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on the little boy. I haven't seen the movie, but I haven't seen "Sideways" or "Million Dollar Baby" either and the trailers look more interesting that the whole of "Aviator".
My money is on Mr. Foxx all the way!!
