Little Miss Sunshine is amazing. I really want to see Babel and The Departed. I might check out Letters From Iwo Jima when it hits DVD. I'll be angry if The Queen wins.

[jetsto]

little miss sunshine was funny. i havent seen the rest.

[Slovo]

thank god Dreamgirls wasn't nominated... overrated.

[Rocondude66]

i really liked little miss sunshine.

[riseagainstit14]

Abigail Breslin ftw

[Ozma622]

Where the hell is children of men....

[butistillseeyou]

The most i've laughed in my life, was after watching little miss sunshine for the first time.
i'm glad that more amazing independent movies have been getting recognition the past couple of years (crash).

[fluke182]

I have to say this every where - YES NO DREAMGIRLS! Boo no Children of Men!

[sweetforever]

the departed FTW

[waitingtoderail]

little miss sunshine is brilliant. definitely my favorite of 2006.

[bones jones]

i'm impressed that little miss sunshine got the nod.
and i'm pulling for it.

[Steve Henderson]

Damn, Children of Men got snubbed.

[blimpcityhero11]

Hmm I can't decide if I liked Little Miss Sunshine or The Departed more...

[boldt_action]

Little Miss Sunshine.

Love that film.

[updownleftright]

Damn, Children of Men got snubbed.

that was a great movie but not for me. made me nauseous.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Martin better win Best Director.

I'm pulling for Little Miss Sunshine to win Best Picture, though. That'd make my day.

[irthesteve]

Pan's Labyrinth

'nuff said.
El Labarinto de Faun

[zeropunk16]

oh man, I fuckin' loved Little Miss Sunshine. I hope that one wins. It fuckin' had Beau from Signs for god's sake!!!

[weworemasks]

the departed.



anyone know when it's out on DVD?

[|ant|]

Where the hell is children of men....


QFT, best movie of 2006, with Pan's Labyrinth maybe tied or a close second.

[Rest_Easy]

http://www.comingsoon.net/awards/oscars.php

That is the full list of nominations.

abigail got a nom for little miss sunshine!
and eddie murphy
and martin scorcese

and for all you buggin over pan's labyrinth
IT's up for Foreign Film.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

they better not fuck over martin s. again like they did with "million dollar baby"...


huh? you either mean scorcese for all of his movies basically. or you mean eastwood winning for million dollar baby was bullshit

[ThatGuy]

the departed was the best film of the year and should win

[garlicgirl1210]

little miss sunshine is brilliant. definitely my favorite of 2006.
mine too. i would love to see it win. or just see it again.

i never realized that abigail breslin was bo in signs. cool.

[CyberInferno]

Where the hell is children of men....
I wasn't really a big fan of it. Thought it was quite overrated. I didn't really feel like anything was truly explained as far as the epidemic was concerned. I mean, what caused it all? And what did they actually accomplish by the ending (trying to avoid spoilers)?

Oh, and I find it very interesting that Little Miss Sunshine was nominated. I thought it was hilarious, but don't see any chance it's actually going to win. It's like, I don't know, someone nominating Bowling for Soup for a Grammy.

[emoishardcore]

i wonder if bable could be any more depressing. if pitt wants a best actor nod he should just plat a mentally challenged person...those seem to be what does it these days

[JunkBondTrader]

he already has......see 12 Monkeys

at least, mentally unsound.

[xearlynovemberx]

i hope the departed wins it

except its not in indie. all those actors know exactly what they're doing and what the implications are in doing a film like that.

[fullerm]

i would love to see al gore win an oscar.

[maxj32]

Mark Wahlberg is the only actor from The Departed up for an award? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

[grainofsand]

I loved little miss sunshine, and I hope it wins.. the departed was so fucking good though

[Ibanezgsr200]

departed should win best picture. children of men should have been nominated. and dicaprio should win best actor for blood diamond

[arf_mutha_arf]

The Departed was good, but I don't think it was "fuck!n awesome d00d!!!, although the end was awesome, but i def think little miss sunshine should win, for it's feel goodness. babel did too poorly with critics too win, and is too much like crash to win. I am going to see the queen tonight, so we'll see.

[_kelly]

stilll havent seen little miss sunshine =[
i thought babel was alright but i felt the story took too long to tell, but still wasnt incredibly developed. gael gracia bernal being in it gives it a couple extra points though.

[*crying stars*]

Little Miss Sunshine should win and Scorcese should finally win this year.

[classys]

departed should win best picture. children of men should have been nominated. and dicaprio should win best actor for blood diamond
I second the leo dicaprio nod.. blood diamond was sooo good, best movie this year imo.

[TheHeretic]

I'm beyond happy with the nominations that Little Miss Sunshine received. With 'Best Picture' to top it all of course. It deserves to win 'Best Picture'. I am even more thrilled with Abigail Breslin's nomination for 'Best Supporting Actress' . She delivered a radiant performance, which brought a tear and a smile to my face. Stellar! It is a big improbability that she wins it, but the nomination alone is well-deserved. I would've loved to see Steve Carrell receive a nomination for 'Best Supporting Actor' though. He was fantastic.

[fenderkid212]

LMS ! thats the only one out of them i have seen sadly. I never got around to seeing the departed.

[Matt_Dizzle]

little miss sunshine FTW

[gladnads]

3 noms for Children of Men. Sucks that the push the fans have given the movie (has received national notice) still wasn't enough to get the best picture nod. It is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[thesynapse]

the departed better take the fucking cake.

[lipslkemorphine]

little miss sunshine and the departed are such good movies..i hope one of them wins.

[UndertheTELE]

The Departed needs to win.

[clubberlang]

the grandpa in Little Miss Sunshine was hillarious.

"....again with the god damn fuckin chicken!"

hahahahaha. i love that part.

i love that whole movie as well.

if it wins, ill be VERY suprised, but that is my favorite movie of all time. all the characters played their parts perfectly. and, im a sucker for Steve Carell.

[Perfect Teeth]

the departed will win. that movie was incredible.hell yeah. and i hope jennifer hudson wins too, she was incredible i just got back from watching dreamgirls.
