Harry Potter and the Academy Awards
I am outraged!
Narnia, King Kong, War of the Worlds...better than Goblet of Fire's visual effects? The Academy members are blind! They're blind, I tell you! Harry Potter deserves to at least be nominated! Honestly! Narnia has gotten more nominations, even if the movie is obviously not that great. Hollywood film kasi (Yes it is...even though the actors are British). I am greatly outraged!
Look, I love the Oscars...but they should give Harry Potter more nominations. I'll be happy of course if they just nominate it for Achievement in Visual Effects, but nooooooo.....
Goblet of Fire is nominated for Achievement in Art Direction, though. Congrats to Stuart Craig (Art Direction) and Stephenie McMillan (Set Decoration). It's nominated alongside Good Night, and Good Luck., Memoirs of a Geisha, King Kong, and Pride and Prejudice. Check out all the nominees here.
Bands to check out:
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Their album, Abattoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus, is tops Mojo magazine's list of the best of 2004. It's really good. You would expect hard rock or something like that...but it's more of a bluesy kind of rock. I looked them up, and it turns out that there are a lot of Bad Seeds. There's seven, and with Nick Cave, there's eight in the band.
Scissor Sisters. They would sound weird to some, especially because it's electroclash. Listen to" Mary" and "Comfortably Numb," which is a cover of Pink Floyd, and it sounds very Bee Gees, actually.
Hay..prom is in three days. I'm terribly nervous.
