I wasn't really paying attention this year, but I did see Syriana. Can someone explain to me why Clooney was nominated only for Supporting Actor, as opposed to Actor? Granted, he's only in one of the four distinct story lines, but its the most prominent one; I'd wager he has more screen time than anyone else in the film. So what gives?

Actor and Supporting Actor is based on the actor listing on the film. The one listed highest on the line is the "Actor" and the rest are "Supporting".Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly

IMDB says:
Kayvan Novak .... Arash
was first on the listing, Clooney was second.
And they could have done it on purpose so Clooney would be able to win more awards (he's won a ton of Supporting Actor awards).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Yeah, I thought she was astonishing; made me wish the movie had been a June Carter biopic (and I love Johnny Cash).Originally posted by nostromo

The dialogue I saw was ****ing horrendous. Some ***** whining about the gang-banger-looking locksmith she got after she was robbed by a black man. Ohhh. It's so ****ing cathartic! All my internal prejudices are being vocalised on the big screen

Crash was the worst movie I saw all year long, although unlike some people I don't go searching out movies to suffer. Yes, the dialogue is terrible, the direction is terrible, the acting, featuring such luminaries as Brendan Fraser, Ryan Phillipe, Tony Danza and Sandra Bullock, was all dull to middling at best. The themes are ham-handed.
Everything about the film was obnoxious and crassly manipulative, and at worst hypocritical. From the horrible new-agey soundtrack to the coincidence upon coincidence that had me rolling my eyes. I WALKED OUT on this embarassing piece of TRASH, which has NOTHING to offer its audience other than the simple idea that we are all inherently racist. I walked out when the Arab shot the little latino girl.
Furthermore, the artistry is simply bankrupt. The large ensemble thing has done better before in films like Magnolia. The shooting scene has a far better mirror in The House of Sand and Fog.
This is a dangerous film, because it reduces a complex situation into trite truisms that do nothing to advance our understanding. Simply horrible."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

Prediction: Honeymoon With Harry will be awful, but slightly less awful than Crash. Still, despite the fact that it sucks ever so slightly less than Crash, people will call it sophomore slump, even though he's been slumming it ever since his Walker Texas Ranger days."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

Speaking of being quick, several hours ago and 5 minutes after reading the news, I checked the wiki page on Crash and it already mentioned it won the academy award for best movie.Originally posted by GePap
