Didn't see ANY of the movies...sorry, dude! Ever since LA Confidential got ripped off by F'n Titanic, I am boycotting the Oscars!

Tell you what Shock, you can come up with a list of Oscar nominations for Purplepride.org under various categories .. that'll keep you busy and may even get some more responses back form people.
We could call them something like "Tarks" or "Grants" and maybe webby could add a one-liner for each winner under their avatar for the year

That's actually what I thought it was going to be when I read Shock's title for the thread. I'm up for a purple pride oscars as well. I haven't seen any of those movies either, I'm usually a big movie goer but I haven't had time this past semester.

aviator will win in most. jamie foxx will get best supporting actor for collateral, eternal sunshine will win for original screen play, best adaptation will go to sideways, kate winslet will win for best actress...
