    HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOMINATE THREE SONGS FROM ONE MOVIE?
    "Enchanted" had three songs in the best original song.

    I'll make a bold statement..."Echanted" will win the Best Original Song :eek:

    If you look at the history of the category, the Academy has been nominating multiple songs from the same film for 20 years or more. It is not a new phenomenon.

    Not saying it is justified, but it has become a somewhat accepted tradition for this award.

    thats total bullshit... not only was it a crummy year for movies but now THIS... not to mention the writers strike... im all about boycotting this stupid event... quick suckin off disney and spread the love to another highly acclaimed film... they were probably just afraid ed would say or do something characteristically ed with such a big spotlight

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

    Theirs were not shitty songs.

    .
    bob dylans song the year he won was pure garbage... the academy has to stop giving awards out just because someone is old and legendary... if eddie was 30 years older i bet he wouldve gotten a nomination... its bullshit

    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 can bet the Oscar organisers are not happy that Ed and Johnny didn't get nominated because they would have brought extra audience that doesn't normally watch (us basically..well, I do normally watch except I gave up last year trying, after 20 years of staying up all night, to jump though hoops to do so as I don't have nor need nor want Sky..)

    as for the voters, I've no idea who actually votes for the Songs category nominations (for Score it's film composers..maybe they vote for songs too but since those 2 worlds are not really compatible..that'd explain)...but it's ALWAYS boring and soppy!
    I was actually very surprised with last year's win...well, it being nominated..the rest of the academy jumped on the first song in at least 20 years to be vaguely original so it won..

    That plus I don't think they want to take the risk of having Ed on stage giving speeches on Election year :p

    That is great.

    I don't think anyone is in an uproar...it's just discussion (helps kill time at work) :p

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

    what was wrong with "There will be Blood" ??? Easily the best movie of the year but knowing the academy Micheal Clayton and Atonement will be the big winners, they love sweeping, romantic love story tragedies and George Clooney.

    Meh, it kind of sucks for him, but it is so not even close to some of the bigger robberies when it has come to the academy awards.

    The brutalist three that I can remember:
    LA Confidnetial losing to Titanic in 1998
    Shawshank Redemption losing to Forrest Gump in 1994
    Goodfellas losing to Dances with Wolves in 1991

    Not to mention Master and Commander losing to The Lord of the Rings in 2004.

    Eddie not getting nominated does not even come close to that level of shafting.

    Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Someone tell the "new" Daniel Day Lewis that shouting does not an actor make. Dial it down already.

    http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/01/oscar-rules-snu.html - earlier today when i checked on imdb.com , Into The Wild's orignal score was on the list of nominees and i remember i cheered and talked with my brother about the fact that Eddie is definitely going to the Oscars :) ... later today when i checked back it was replaced by some other movie(as much as i remember - it is Kite Runner or Michael Clayton)... not fair at all...

    http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20080122/BLOG21/497855768


    I kinda understand about Jonny Greenwood but i am not sad that Eddie didn't get a nomination considering the nominees - Pop songs and Disney songs :p:D...
