2005's Oscar Nominees

If Munich manages a third-place finish, I will process it as a landslide win.

Munich now, but BBM is fine melancholy middlebrow fare.

Which is more than one can say for Capote.

I had completely forgotten that GNAGL had a Best Pic nom.

The worst film won that year so I'll be fine with anything else winning. But I adored six-dimensional portrait of Capote so that.

THE six-dimensional...

The worst film OF ALL TIME won that year.

Actually, with the exception of Crash, the list runs from flawed-but-excellent to mediocre, which is several steps up from the usual.

I'd say it's about on par with any of the other years of late. One or two dece and three indifferent-to-worse.

2006 and 2008 were awful!

I've only seen one of these movies and it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Guess which one!

I only saw the last two on the list, and of the two I'll vote Munich, which reminds me I really need to watch it again. Some really, really powerful imagery in that movie.

cripes...well, munich is the best one though it had a few problems.

Loved Munich and also need to see it again. Voted for it here anyway. Thoroughly enjoyed GNaGL too but it's kinda lightweight imo.

I've only seen one of these movies and it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Guess which one!

^^^^^ This.

Although I'd maybe curb the hyperbole a bit and say 'definitely the worst movie to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award that I've ever seen'.

goodnight and good luck, tho i would be interested in seeing munich. i can't imagine myself enjoying brokeback, capote was pretty dumb, and crash was obv the worst movie ever.

Speaking of, has anyone seen the Crash television show? I can't help but think that it has to be better than the movie.

is there a .gif of the dude in 'munich' getting stabbed in the TOP OF THE HEAD - how dope - anyway totally <3d movie

I remember when no one liked Munich. It was back before Judd Apatow name dropped it in Knocked Up and suddenly everyone thought it was badass. < / Morbs >

Or maybe not. Spielberg & Kushner's Munich '72 / Israeli vengeance film has more stan than I remember four years ago.

The Munich thread had some good posts!

My sister asked about GNaGL today bump.

I saw all of these in theaters but can't remember Capote at all and barely remember Good Night and Good Luck but thinking it was the most deserving out of those. Munich I've come to appreciate more as I bought it and use it in my classes. Anyways the Golden Globe nominees were much better that year, mainly for its complete snubbing of Crash and they nominated The Constant Gardener and Squid and the Whale, my 2 favourite movies that year.

The worst film OF ALL TIME won that year.

I only saw that one and Munich so I'm not gonna vote, but I did like Munich a lot.

Munich.

Who cares? Go vote in the 1940s poll.

Brokeback, Capote and GNGL all good. Haven't seen Munich. I'll probably go with Brokeback.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Threw my second vote to Munich.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

crash got way too many votes imo

Lol. I agree.

No way this poll would've gotten these results in early 2006.

RIP revisionism.
