A shame really. Although they did do the right thing by "Deadwood" and Ian McShane. "Deadwood" is as good as, and is sometimes better than "The Sopranos", and McShane plays "Al Swearingen" to perfection. He's even sometimes better than James Gandolfini playing "Tony Soprano"
Among the anti-Bush actors and actresses who received nominations from the small and obscure but powerful HFPA: Roberts, Swank, Depp, DiCaprio, Portman, Annette Bening, Ashley Judd, Renee Zellweger, Laura Linney and Meryl Streep.
Noted conservatives nominated: zero, but libertarian-leaning Clint Eastwood did get recognized for directing "Million Dollar Baby."
Hollywood is sending conservative America a message and I'm hearing it loud and clear.
Stop sending us your money!
Will comply, beginning immediately!
Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- the best of the Euro-weenies in Hollywierd. Why anyone pays attention to this group of ex-patriot cheese and snail munchering body waxers amazes me.
"Among the anti-Bush actors and actresses:" Just about everybody in Hollywood, no?
They also failed to nominate "Dodgeball" or "Envy" for best picture.
So what??
No surprises.
The TEDIOUS Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? I just saw this Friday and I loved it. At least it made you think, not like most of the crap they put out these days.
The only votes that matter are at the box office.

Of course they would.
If Hollywood takes its cue from the Golden Globes and Cannes regarding "Kinsey" or "Farenheit 9/11" for Best Picture. As opposed to "The Passion Of The Christ".
Hollywood will be cutting its own throat. And suffer a HUGE financial downward spiral from those pesky "Red States".
Just my opinion.
Jack.
Hollwood is the democrat church, and these dimwitted "stars" are their idols.
The reality is that the majority if not all of hollywoods acters and actresses are not the brightest people in the world. In fact most of them haven't finnished grade school.
They then get detached from reality and live in an alternate reality, Hollywood's secret society. Drinking and smoozing and an assortment of pills and nose candy.
Pathetic.
"The Passion of the Christ" is the only adult DVD our family owns (outside of movies we buy for the kids).
Passion of the Christ:
A MOVIE THAT TERRIFIED HOLLYWOOD.
DROVE CRITICTS TO CRINGE IN HORROR.
MADE THE SUITS IN THE EXECUTIVE SUITE SCREAM WHEN THEY SAW THE BOX OFFICE RETURNS.
and
MADE OSCAR VOTERS CROUCHING IN A CORNER BABLING OVER AND OVER IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY, IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY,IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY, IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY, IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY, IGNORE IT AND IT WILL GO AWAY...
LOL
Mark my words. Fahrenheit 911 will win best picture at the Oscars.
I recall GWB's primary debate response of 'Jesus Christ' as favorite philosopher drew howls and guffaws from the left.
No shock or suprise.
Ping to self for possible pingout.
