Best special effects... Flesh Gorden (1972), The Thing (1982) and King Kong (1933)... (I've just seen King Kong last week and was thinking all the ground breaking things in that movie... it should of been given best movie of 1933)

R. Lee Ermey:  Anything he's been in.
Steven Seagal:  On Deadly Ground (the end was very touching.)
Al Leong:  Some kind of lifetime achivement award.
Rutger Hauer:  Best blind performance in Blind Fury.

I've never been able to understand why the Coen brothers aren't swimming in Oscars. Their's is one of the most consistently excellent bodies of work around, yet I don't think they've won anything at the Oscars except Best Screenplay for Fargo. Hell, have they ever even been nominated for Best Director(s)?

Also, IMHO, Pulp Fiction was definitely better than Forrest Gump.

I agree. Hitchcock should have won a whole fistful of Oscars, and Scorsese has missed out on several himself. It's too late for Hitchcock, but I'm optimistic that Scorsese will grab one pretty soon. He makes one excellent movie after another and it's a shame that he hasn't won yet.

I think the biggest disgrace of all time was Art Carney winning for HARRY AND TONTO instead of Pacino for GODFATHER II.

Kubrick, too (though he didn't make as many movies, and therefore didn't have as many chances).

Also, a preemptive vote for Crispin Glover for WILLARD. Shockingly underrated film, and Glover's performance is truly remarkable. You KNOW, however, that there's no way he'll even be considered for a nomination (and even if he is, he's got a snowball's chance in hell of winning).

I never understood why Memento, one of the most refreshingly unique movies in the last ten years did not win an oscar or was barely nominated, yet pure drek like Erin Brokovich won tons of accolades. Same goes for director Christopher Nolan, between this and Insomnia, he is a wonderful director, yet that punk who directed Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge keeps getting the noms.

Why the hell will no one nominate Edward Norton? His turns in American History X, The Fight Club, and Primal Fear are some of the greatest performances ever.

I know I will get burned for this, but Leonardo DiCaprio should have at least gotten a nomination for Titanic,m he carried that movie and was snubbed.

Norton was nominated for American History X, but didn't win.  I agree, it was a great performance.
