Hayden Christensen for best actor Sam L Jackson and Natalie Portman for best surpporting are you sure this isnt a Razzie nomination list or if someone is gonna nominate them they have been smoking some heavy stuff while making that list.

I agree. Anyone who would niminate HC for best actor is smoking some serious stuff. If anything, Ian or Ewan deserve the award.

Episode 3 doesn't deserve any oscars for anything - not even effects.

Ian McDiarmid or Ewan McGregor deserve best actor, though.

No they don't, they are both good actors, but not in this movie. There was sooooooo much better stuff out there in the past year, ROTS was average.

I must differ. Ian is always great, and Ewan, IMO, gave a MUCH better proformance than he ever has (see The Island for an example of bad)

See trainspotting for an example of good.
Look man, there is no chance in hell of Star Wars winning anything except maybe a special effects award or some other fairly obscure homur, or maybe a token award for achievemnet in cinema for the whole saga. Personally I think Ian was dog shit in ROTS, but if you like it, that's cool, but it is not oscar worthy by any strectch of the imagination. Have you seen Adrian Brody in the Pianist? That desrved the oscar. Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Jack Nicholson in One flew over the cucko's nest, Ben Kingsley in Ghandi, Dustin Hoffman in Rainman, but Ian as Palpatine or Ewan as Obi Wan? No Way.

I think Ian did a pretty good job in that movie up until he "reveals" himself and then the acting gets horribly cheesy from that point on. I just think it's funny how Ewan McGregor is a supporting actor when he's been top billed for this movie and the last one. I agree that Anakin is the main character, and he should have been billed that way. But to be honest, I had to supress a chuckle looking at those ads. I had one of those, "Aww, they're trying so hard, but no one's going to take them seriously," moments.

No one who has ever played the lead in a science fiction movie wins the best actor award for the science fiction movie. Alec Guinness got best supporting actor for the first Star Wars, but to date, no one has won the best lead actor part for their role in a science fiction film. So odds are Hayden's not gonna win it.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

No way Hayden would win. He is one of the worst actors ever. Even nominating him is a joke.

Maybe you should do some research first. Probably the first Ewan film you ever saw the shitty Phantom Menace along with the other prequels. Trainspotting was a great example of Ewan award worthy and the first Ewan film I ever saw, along with the Pillow Book and Shallow Grave. That's the real awards for films that Ewan should get, none the dire and awful Star Wars movies

It deserves one for best original score, but that's it. John Williams did some excellent work in this film.

Is Sith any worse than Titanic though? What about Gloria Stuart getting a nomination for her small part in that film? And James Cameron is as bad a writer as Georgie boy.

No kidding. Now if the Oscars fell on April 1st and Hayden won, that would be the best April Fools Joke ever.

But we don't even have to worry that he'd win anything other than a Raspberry award.

I pretty much worship the ground John Williams walks on, but I have to say that this movie's music was kind of a hack job in some parts. I mean, I bought and listened to the soundtrack before I saw the movie and it sounds like he just threw in some old music of his from Empire Strikes Back, and not even appropriate music at that.

Like during the scene with the Emperor and Yoda you can here the music from ESB when Vader is hurling things at Luke at Bespin tyring to knock him over. But the scene that it is used in during ROTS, Yoda is unconscious on the floor and the Emperor is just walking towards him. Oookay.... I never thought that music fit well with that scene.

Of course Williams makes up for that in the next few shots where the Emperor and Yoda fight on the platform as it rises through the empty senate chamber. Now that scene gave me goosebumps. Both visually and musically. ...sad that is the only truely subtle piece of artwork in that film. This is the final Star-motherloving-Wars movie! The whole film should have been FILLED with stuff like that.

But wasn't that moment just retracked Duel of the Fates anyway? I'm not sure. I don't have the movie with me.

"For Your Consideration" ads are essentially a formality, and an excuse to spend buttloads of money on big, splashy, self-indulgent ads that very few people will ever see. They're also a strategic way of reminding folks reading the trade papers and magazines (BTW, Cinefex is abso-frickin-lutely awesome if you're an FX geek) that awards season is coming up. If enough people who fill out nomination forms put in the name of a less-than-stellar movie or one of its cast or crew, it will wind up getting on the official nominees list. Whether it has a snowball's chance on Mustafar of winning is irrelevant, because the people involved are forever able to say that they were nominated.

Ian McDiarmid MIGHT get a nomination, but that's very unlikely.

I do belive ROTS will get some technical awards, like visual effects, make-up and costumes...
