Topic: Alternate Oscar Nominations

H Rocco
Oscar® Winner

Against my better judgement, but due in part to encouragement from such individuals as Board Mommy Joan, here's my own personal, absurdly idiosyncratic Nominations for the Year's Best.Apart from being skewed entirely to my own taste, please consider that I haven't SEEN all the eligible pictures from last year -- much less all the ones that ARE nominated. Never can, can one.
So here they are: Henry's Own Nominations (I haven't done this in years, much less posted any

I agree with Tim. "Cool." Obviously, the Academy forgot to consult you in the music area. Your choices are far from theirs so probably better. Seeing a list like this reminds me that I haven't seen some quality movies this year like Dogma, Radio Hour, Bringing Out the Dead, and Fight Club.Notice H Rocco mentions the movie GO. That was quite a surprise for me. If you like movies that have several stories that eventually tie together (Two Days in the Valley, Pulp Fiction, Magnolia), you may find this quite an undiscovered treat.
"We've come a long way baby," when one compares South Park, Uncut to the Oscar laden Sound of Music.

I didn't hear anything about Andrew Kevin Walker working on the Fight Club script, where did you get that? I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was in on it.

In at least one recent interview, Edward Norton refers to Walker's input: Walker was the writer that sat in on the rehearsals, and did the rewrites. Not enough to please the WGA as far as credit, I guess. Walker also contributed to Fincher's THE GAME.
