I don't really understand this - Jamie Foxx wasn't a supporting character in collateral. He was the main character. How does one get a role knocked to second fiddle just to better the odds of winning an award?

I'm missing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for best movie and Jim Carrey for best actor for his role in said movie.
Anyway, going with these nominees, I hope these win:

Wait - Where's fathead Michael Moore's crapfest?
I was wondering the same thing. Oh well, thats what you get when you sensationalize the facts.
Well, no real surprises, except Ray I guess. Jamie Foxx being nominated for Best Actor AND Best Supporting Actor is definitely pretty cool. I haven't seen any of the films nominated for best picture, but somehow I think Million Dollar Baby will win since The Academy robbed Eastwood of best pic last year. I forget who won Best Director last year...but this year its probably a toss up between Scorese and Eastwood. The best Actor category is probably the most interesting for me, along with Best Actress. To those of you who haven't seen Maria Full of Grace, I highly recommend it, the lead actress was absolutely amazing, and it was a great movie as well, good to see her nominated. Seeing Kate Winslet nominated was a bit of surprise as well, but they'll probably give it to Hilary Swank since I there were rave reviews about her performance.
Again, I can't really make any judgements since I haven't actually seen most of the films on this list

I've seen one, out of the entire list.
Even though I haven't seen any of those movies, I could probably say that none of them are anything that special. Good movies but nothing classic on that list. I sort of missed Eternal Sunshine for Best Picture. Lame.

What a shitty list. Thomas Hayden Church is nominated but Paul Giamatti isn't? Bullshit. Where is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Are Finding Neverland, Ray and The Aviator really any good?
Whose dick is Scorcese sucking these days?
Sideways was good, but far from great. It really was nothing without Giamatti, and he gets fucked out of a nomination. Almost has to be because he's fat. I guess he can't compete with Leo for tv ratings. blah, what a load of crap.

I believe Tom Cruise was the main character in that. And I thought his performance was brilliant, I'm surprised he didn't get a GG or Oscar Nom.

I didn't see Ray. But I did see Aviator and Finding Neverland, both were excellent. The Aviator deserves the nomination but Finding Neverland is a toss up. It was really good but there are a few other movies that could have gone in it's place.
LONDON (AFP) - British director Alfred Hitchcock is the best film-maker never to have been handed an Oscar, according to a poll of British movie viewers released a day before the 2005 nominations come out.

Hitchcock was nominated as best director at the Academy Awards (news - web sites) six times between 1941 and 1961 for classic thrillers like "Psycho" and "Rear Window", but failed to win a single one.
In a poll of deserving non-Oscar winning directors by British viewers of cable film channel Turner Classic Movies, Hitchcock edged out Martin Scorsese and the late Stanley Kubrick.
Scorsese, who has been nominated five times since 1981, is widely expected to be a favourite for this year's directing Oscar for Howard Hughes biopic "The Aviator".
In a similar list of actors who have never won, US star Samuel L. Jackson, who received a nomination for 1994's "Pulp Fiction", edged out Steve McQueen for the top spot.
Third was late Welsh actor Richard Burton, who received seven nominations for films ranging from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" to "Equus".
Perhaps more curiously, US actress Demi Moore -- never a critics' favourite and without an Oscar nomination to her name -- was top of the equivalent female list.
She beat Sharon Stone, who was nominated for 1995's "Casino" and queen of the romantic comedy Meg Ryan, with Marilyn Monroe fourth.
The top 10 in each category was:
Most deserving directors never to have won an Oscar:
1. Alfred Hitchcock
2. Martin Scorsese
3. Stanley Kubrick
4. Ridley Scott
5. Tim Burton
6. Ingmar Bergman
7. Spike Lee
8. Mike Leigh
9. Howard Hawks
10. Roberto Rossellini
Most deserving actor never to have won an Oscar:
1. Samuel L Jackson
2. Steve McQueen
3. Richard Burton
4. Tom Cruise
5. Brad Pitt
6. Bruce Willis
7. John Travolta
8. Cary Grant
9. Hugh Grant
10. Kirk Douglas
Most deserving actress never to have won an Oscar:
1. Demi Moore
2. Sharon Stone
3. Meg Ryan
4. Marilyn Monroe
5. Michelle Pfeiffer
6. Drew Barrymore
7. Lauren Bacall
8. Glenn Close
9. Cate Blanchett
10. Ava Gardner
David Lynch and Robert Altman both lost to RON HOWARD. Perhaps one of the biggest Oscar travesties ever.

Well, I think they were both the lead. The movie is about Foxx and his night in the cab with Cruise, not about Cruise and his hitman life.
Think about it - they visit Foxx's mother, they open with Foxx in the cab, the climax is Foxx saving Jada Pinkett because Foxx likes her - clearly Foxx's character is the main character and Cruise's character is what is driving Foxx's character.
I've changed my mind - Cruise is supporting, Foxx is lead.
Paul Giamatti got robbed! He should have at least been nominated for Sideways. He was so great in that movie. I was happy to see Kate Winslet get nominated for Eternal Sunshine though.

The one lock that wasn't. Bloody surprised.
Motorcycle Diaries not being eligible for best foreign film due to its multi-national production is a joke.
It's beyond clear that the academy REALLY doesn't like Jim Carrey. I never really did expect ESOTSM to be nominated for best film or director. Wrong release time.
Holding off my comments for the others until I've seen M$B, Aviator, Sideways, Ray, Hotel Rwanda and Closer.
