Ok, the only MAJOR complaint I have with this nominee list is the absense of Tom Cruise for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in Colateral. Easily it was the best performance of the year in the male category… and that’s saying something because I don’t even really like Cruise. Seriously… I’m shocked that he’s not on that list.
Otherwise, it all looks pretty solid… although I would have had Shrek 2 on the Best Picture Musical or Comedy list… but that one isn’t such a big deal.
What do you think? What’s there that shouldn’t be? What’s missing that you think is a CRIME that it isn’t there?
