What are your favorites? What are your predictions?

BEVERLY HILLS – The frisky musical "Chicago," adapted from the stage hit about two murderous women competing for tabloid celebrity, led Academy Award contenders today with 13 nominations, among them Best Picture and four acting honors.

Other Best Picture nominees for the 75th annual Oscars were the 1860s vengeance epic "Gangs of New York"; the Virginia Woolf-related drama "The Hours"; the fantasy adventure "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"; and the Holocaust saga "The Pianist."

Besides Best Picture, "Chicago" scored nominations for lead actress Renee Zellweger, supporting actresses Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones and supporting actor John C. Reilly.

I saw Lord of the Rings and Gangs of New York. I really liked Gangs of New York - nothing better than seeing some Irish people kick some ass. Of course, then they lynched a bunch of black people, which I think ticked off my girlfriend.

The Academy Awards is little more than Unholywood's elitists giving each other virtual blow jobs for producing leftist sewage without a trace of value or morality. It's hundreds of self-important but totally irrelevant assholes high-fiving one another for their perception and insight so as to awe the peasant class with their superiority.

I have not seen ANY Best Picture winner or nominee for at least twenty years, and I consider myself blessed by that decision.

What they should be fretting is being in the sights of the bad guys to whom Hollywood is an abomination condemned by Allah. I cannot envision a more high-profile target for terrorism, and no amount of security will stop them if they're bent on killing the infidels.

Doc, they will never bomb their most dependable "useful idiots". Why, they should change the name of it to "Allahwood". I mean, if you're gonna stick your toungue down their collective throats, you might as well be honest about it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon130.gif

Hollywood may well be the next target. The idiots out there simply have no clue that the barbaric shits they've been defending very seriously mean to get rid of the sewer that is Hollywood.
