I'm proud for Brokeback Mountain, but I'm surprised that Capotes not in any of the categories. That movie has been getting good reviews lately.

I'm so sick of hearing about Brokeback Mountain. I saw the movie, and although it was good, I do not believe it deserves the praise it is getting, damn liberals....and yeah, GO SIN CITY!! (Walk The Line was really good too)

Jeez, I didn't realize the film critics in Central Ohio held so much clout. I didn't even know there were film critics in Central Ohio. And I live in Ohio.
