2005 - Best Films for an Oscar

[Mrs Fish]

From what I have been reading, I reckon Brokeback Mountain is going to get a fair few, Heath Ledger is definitely in the running for a best actor oscar I think.

Not seen it myself yet to pass comment, but all the write ups I have read are very favourable

Wasn't Sideways a 2005 film?

[srebbe64]

You forgot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and War of the Worlds?

[Jaglover]

So Sideways is out.

I've only seen 2 of the films on that list, King Kong & P&P. But I fully intend to see History of Violence & Brokeback mountain on DVD.

Of the two I have seen King Kong is the best, but I doubt it will win best picture or director.

And I forgot Crash,

Was wondering where that was.

I haven't seen Munich or Syrianna yet but here they're both worthy.

Was Sideways the one with the wine tasting stag-holiday?

[LuS1fer]

Nanny McPhee...I mean, come on.

No mention of Sin City?

[dick dastardly]

I hope Sin City gets recognised. It should do seeing as it was very original and was a critical and commercial success. However it will probably only get nominated for some bull$hit category like Best Sound Effects like these truly innovative films always do, (e.g. Fight Club).

[dick dastardly]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang should be up for Best Original Screenplay

[CupraR]

I didn't think A History of Violence was particularly good personally. Sin City, Batman Begins and The Descent were probably the best films I watched last year. Saw II and War of the Worlds were ok too.
