on Jan 13 2006 07:12 PM I'm proud for Brokeback Mountain, but I'm surprised that Capotes not in any of the categories. That movie has been getting good reviews lately. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 13 2006 10:14 PM I'm so sick of hearing about Brokeback Mountain. I saw the movie, and although it was good, I do not believe it deserves the praise it is getting, damn liberals....and yeah, GO SIN CITY!! (Walk The Line was really good too) (Reply to this) |
