    The voting procedure:
    The members of the various branches nominate those in their respective fields while all members may submit nominees for Best Picture. The winners are then determined by a second round of voting in which all members are then allowed to vote in most categories, including Best Picture.

    Explains a lot, me thinks ;) I would like to see a list of members, so we can figure out where their interests lie (and how many shares they have in Disney, hehehe!)

    Oh well.

    I've judged for another prominent awards presentation in the past and there's not much to it other than all members score the selected works in order of preference, the ones getting the most votes in the top 5 getting the nominations. Those are then judged collectively and the top vote getter of those 5 gets the award.

    Still, it blows that Enchanted came out that strong in the voting - and that Guaranteed didn't take a place.

    Though the one shining light is Hansard and Irglova for "Once."

    I was in between the sad face and the angry face... so I chose the sad face... I would have prefered a "this is bS face" though....

    I mean it doesnt really make me sad like boohoo sad I'm crying but I was surprised ... :p

    "Sean Penn also missed out on a directing nod for “Into the Wild,” as did Eddie Vedder, who was shut out in music categories."

    This is what I found......
    Totally BS!

    3 songs from enchanted? yeah thats crap.

    i'm not even saying he should have won, but if you win at the golden globes then you should at least be in the running.

    oscars are dumb.

    but i will admit, disney has produced some good songs, but i dont even think that really good timeless movies produced three songs.

    oh well, maybe we will be lucky and the strike will last just long enough to have them do it in an hour presentation as well.
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w

    Into The Wild was largely ignored.

    No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood both received 8 nominations each, while Atonement and Michael Clayton both garnered 7 nominations.

    I liked Ed's music for the film, but perhaps other films were more deserving on the whole. If ITW had the impact of those films receiving many noms, perhaps Ed's music would have been given more consideration. Just a thought.

    yeah last year dreamgirls had 3 of the 5 songs
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Actually it makes perfect sense that he didnt got nominated I mean we love Pearl Jam but for the majority of people and for the rating its bettr to have people performing the songs of Enchanted on live TV than to have eddie vedder alone singing with a guitar a song that most people wouldn't like.

    Oscar is stupid, but its a money making machine so....

    I am glad! After seeing what they nominated "There Will Be Blood" for, these awards mean absolutely nothing to me!

    I'm not a big awards show fan, but the oscars have always been the exception for me, and one thing they consistantly do, is pick shitty songs for best song. Yes I am a big PJ fan, but the year they skipped "Man of the Hour" from Big Fish, the songs chosen were ridiculous. I haven't heard this years songs, but Guarranteed was on many top lists, so how it doesn't get oscar attention is beyond me. I was surprised Into the Wild didn't get a nod for Cinematography also.

    Bob Dylan won an Oscar in 2000. Bruce Springsteen before him in 1993.

    Theirs were not shitty songs.
