Best Actor:The near-locks at this point are Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The remaining forces to be reckoned with for those last two slots are Javier Bardem, Don Cheadle, Johnny Depp, and Clint Eastwood. The remaining longshots still in the game at this point are Sean Penn and Liam Neeson

The sad thing is that The Incredibles probably isn't going to even win best animated feature.

And with that Oscars, you take yet another step in the direction of the Grammys. The only way I could care now is if Spider-Man 2 recieved it's rightfully deserved 10 nominations (oh, I counted it out, and it should probably truthfully only be 9, but if J.K. Simmons changed his name to Geoffry Rush he'd have that fucker in the bag).

Oh, I think The Incredibles will win best animated feature, Shrek 2 nonwithstanding. I like to think that The Incredibles made Shrek 2's $440 million seem kinda crass.

Speaking of absolutely inferior sequels to overrated movies making a mint, Meet the Fockers is going to outgross The Incredibles and may hit $300 million. If this is what America spends on comedy during a bad economy, jebus only knows what'll happen if we ever recover. So is Dodgeball 2 going to make $450 million? Rush Hour 3, $605 million?

SM2... picture, director, actor, screenplay, FX, score, editing, ... ? Supporting actor? Art direction? K-Dunst gets "best line reading" for "whatever *that* means!"

I agree that Incredibles has its category locked up, because unlike Shrek 2, it was a single person's vision, brilliantly executed rather than a smushed-together-sequel-by-committee.

We had this odd discussion around here last week about why shitty movies like Fockers make so much freaking money. One theory is that over the holiday there really wasn't anything to go see with your whole family (unless you go see Incredibles again, which mine did). And though I hate to think that geriatric sex jokes and a flushed purse pooch are family-friendly humor, I suppose we have to chalk it up to "America: What the Fuck?!"

And don't get me started on goddamn Spider-Man 2. Supporting actor? For which one? James Franco has one expression, and Alfred Molina, however much I loved him in Coffee and Cigarettes, did a Pacino on the (digital) scenery.

The FANTASTIC Mr. JK Simmons, who Rob actually already alluded to (my bad).

Who had about as much subtlety as if he were bare-chested and bellowing "KHAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!"

You forgot to finish the sentance

Who had about as much subtlety as if he were bare-chested and bellowing "KHAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!" and is deserving of an oscar nomination.

The ones you mentioned plus sound editing.

ok, maybe 8 is a more realistic number (I mean 0-1 is more realistic, but you know what I mean).

I think that you people need to learn the lessons of history: the quality of a Shrek movie in relation to other nominees has no bearing on whether or not it's going to win the oscar.
