The Race Begins

Posted on Tuesday 25 January 2005

Well, Oscar nominations are out. A couple of weeks ago I’d ruminated that Sideways had peaked too early and that some dark horse would over take it in the awards race. I’m just wondering why I didn’t see the Aviator sweep coming. People worship Scorcese, feel bad Gangs of New York lost out, and think he’s way overdue. But damnit, now I actually have to go see the movie three hours running time notwithstanding.

The other nominations seem reasonable given the crop of prestige films out this time around. But a friend and I were noting recently how lackluster the prestige films are this year. I’m still making my way through them, so more on this later I’m sure.
