sorry arch, but i i have to disagree.
If theres a film that DOESN'T BELONG in that Best Film Catergory, its Seabiscuit.
imo Mystic River was a excellent film. Seabiscuit was utter crap. sure, it may be an All-American story, and that appeals to the Academy. but to me it came across as incoherent, sappy and poorly constructed.
if we
must put Cold Mountain in, then Mystic River shouldn't be its replacement on the bench. As over-hyped as i feel Cold Mountain is, i do think its more deserving of a nomination than Seabiscuit.

thats an interesting point. but its true. i thought the film as a whole was spectacular, but until you mentioned it, i wouldn't have considered any of the individual performances as brilliant. i wonder if this lack of acting nominations for LOTR has anything to do with the fact the subject matter.
i mean, (and this is just a theory) did the fantastical events that were constantly going on in the movie push the characters into over-acting? or is it just that elves and hobbits aren't eligible for nomination?
