Talk:78th Academy Awards

message: :All nominees for the awards will be announced on Tuesday, 31 January, 2006, at 5:30 AM PST in the Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
This seems suspicious to me. Can someone check. I mean why schedule it for 5:30 in the morning in a theatre? I mean in the evening in a theatre as a big event sure, or released over the wire services at the crack of dawn, again I see the logic, but makes little sense to me. – MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 16:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is because at that hour it comes in the middle of the American morning chat shows, e.g. Today and Good Morning America on the East Coast and in the Midwest, but late enough there will be people on the West Coast up to see it.  Announcements have been made at 8:35 or thereabouts for some years now.  PedanticallySpeaking 16:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Nominations annoucement

message: ===Missing songs===
Does anyone else find it strange that "Wunderkind" from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is not on the longlist for the Best Original Song nominations?  I'm also surprised that "Wonka's Welcome Song" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is not on the list, but that's not as big a surprise as "Wunderkind".  By the way, I'm also glad that "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy made it.  --QQQ (1-19-06)
Also, to add to the suspicion in the conversation above, "Wunderkind" was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song this year.  "A Love that Will Never Grow Old," from Brokeback Mountain, won the Golden Globe, and is also not on the longlist.  "Christmas in Love" from Christmas in Love was also nominated and is missing from the longlist.  What does the song have to accomplish to win the Oscar, be nominated, or even get on the longlist?  --QQQ (1-29-06)
:The Oscars have much stricter rules about what songs can be nominated.  As I understand, Wunderkind was rendered ineligible because it does not appear during the movie and is not the first song played during the credits.  Golden Globes don't have that restriction.  --DDG 17:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why do we have the nominations here and in a seperate article?  There's no need to list them in two places. -- MisterHand 16:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If we merge them, then what should be done with 76th Academy Awards nominees and 77th Academy Awards nominees? Also merge them to 76th Academy Awards and 77th Academy Awards, respectively? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 22:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  That would be my vote, those articles aren't very long, and nominations are the second most important part of these awards (after the winner).  It doesn't make sense to have a huge list of stations that broadcast the awards, but relegate the nominees to a seperate article. Or, we can leave those articles as is, and when and if this article gets to big, branch off the nominees at that time. -- MisterHand 22:51, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I had considered that too.  But perhaps it's more a question of how to best use each article.  This particular article seems to change as the events progress.  We might want to have an article that is more about the event in general, and maybe list just the winners here, and have the longer list with all the five nominees for each category listed in a separate article.  In fact, this has already been done, although the wrong way, as I see it: this article used to feature the longlist for some of the categories.  When the nominees were announced, the longlists were removed and replaced with the nominees.  Now why would we delete this information?  I was considering bringing it back, but haven't gotten around to it.  If it was making the article too long, and plus it's another list, then perhaps we should have it at the same article with the five nominees, but only link the listings here.  We need to be consistent with our actions.  Regards, Redux 23:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe not for now, since the awards have not even started yet. Maybe we should merge now, then after 31 March, and we will have the nominees page again. Currently, the article is far too short without the nominees, and a split off after that will be better. Looks really useless now, since its not the Oscars yet. I'm quite surprised that the blockbusters didn't get a Best Picture nominee for two consecutive years. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 12:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Miscellaneous

message: I started adding names of who was actually nominated. Remember people not movies actually win the award. I realised this might be contreversial so I thought I'd post here. It could mean a very long page, but I think it's worth it. Flying Canuck 02:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes sense.  When they announce the award at the ceremony, they announce the names before the Movie usually. --DDG 18:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it's a little funny they're ending the whole thing with (a variation on) the music "Also Sprach Zarathustra." An odd choice if you ask me. Fbv65edel 04:32, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really as it is an iconic piece of music best known for its use in an iconic film. 23skidoo 14:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Very true, but the pop-modernization of it disturbed me. I suppose because I know it more as any old piece of music it was stranger. Never mind. -Fbv65edel 16:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, we already have movie critic Louis B. Hobson of the Sun Media chain in Canada calling the Academy "spineless cowards" for not going with Brokeback. Should we start a section on the inevitable controversy over the Best Picture decision? 23skidoo 14:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to reword the section on controversy that was added by an anon.  Though the anon provided a source in which the LA times states that the selection of Crash was "disappointing", the anon has added their own editorializing without sources.  --DDG 18:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Something is wrong with the linking for the template. It has these as the 2004 academy awards. And clicking on the 2005 academy awards goes to the 2007 ones, which is Prod nominated. Sorry if my clarity is essentially non-existent, i am very tired and about to go to bed, but take a look at the template and you will see what i mean. Jdcooper 14:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The infobox at the top of the article is pretty ugly, shouldn't we get a more Wikipedia like infobox like the one at Langt fra Las Vegas and similar pages. It needs at least a border around and some tables. -- Snailwalker | talk 17:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Eminem won in 2002 for his song, "Lose Yourself."  Unless I'm not understanding what is being said here, Three Six is not the first.Jogabbeyjr 00:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe they are the first hip hop group to win an academy award.  They are also- i believe - the first hip hop act to ever perform at the Academy Awards.  All worth noting - i have not made the alterations. 128.195.94.157 04:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  They are certainly notable as the first hip hop act to perform at the oscars (Eminem did not attend in 2002).  As for being the first hip hop group rather than hip hop artist to win, the distinction seems pretty paltry to me, as it is a writing award rather than a performance award. --DDG 20:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  They are not the first to win an award: Eminem won for "Lose Yourself".  They are the first group to win, but that's hardly a notable distinction.  They are the first to hip hop act to perform at the Oscars.  That's notable.—thames 01:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: One of the common section is each of the Awards is a bit on the In Memoriam, with who presented and how died. Does anyone have that info to include into the article? -- CHANLORD [T]/[C]  23:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
