Oscar nominations

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the movie "Crash" and said that I won't be surprised if it becomes an Oscar contender. It wasn't a hit at the box office when it released back in April, but has become a favorite thanks to word-of-mouth publicity. And today I read in Newsweek magazine that people think it may be on the Oscar list.

One movie that disappointed was "Cinderalla Man". I am waiting for the DVD to be released. It reviewed well when it was released, but I think Russel Crowe's run-in with the concierge at a New York hotel generated such bad publicity that it doomed the film. Russel Crowe may be a petulant and insolent human being, but I think he is a great actor.
