I saw a lot of previews for The Notebook. My best friend was the one who actually told me about it in late May early June so we were waiting for it to come out for a month! I even saw a preview for it on MTV in like the third week of July! I don't think previews or promotion really has anything to do with wether or not a movie gets nominated. I never even heard of Monster until it was nominated!

at imdb.com there's a message board for the 2005 oscars and threads on the nominations. I read quite a few posts that were praising rachel for her performance in this movie. saying she should def. get a best actress nod. let's keep our fingers crossed  |

Yeah I think Rachel deserves nods for best actress, this role really showed her acting ability
I also think that James Garner might have ahot for best supporting actor

[glow=teal,2,300]Well, guys, I'm not sure, but it seems like most of the time, movies like this get passed over when it's Oscar- time. I certainly think it deserves nods for cinematography, costumes, score, etc., and I even think Rachel McAdams was brilliant in her role, but alas, I have a feeling that the Academy Awards people will pass this movie off as a piece of crappy sentimentality. I hope to goodness I'm wrong, though. [/glow]

I hate how biased the Oscars can be. It's like they only pick low budjet- indie films with the exception of LOTR and what not. I don't know, it just really annoys me! lol.  |

I hope that you proove me wrong guys, but the notebook's not going to get any Oscar nods. A few reasons: 1) it was released in the summer among high budget powerhouse films, and got catagorized in the "alternative viewing" section. By the time Oscar season rolls around, nobody will be talking about this movie at all. 2) It was a love story that has been told many times before with the exact same formula. I highly doubt that an unoriginal love story (i'm not bashing the film because I loved it and it was beautiful...we know that, but too many other people think its corny crap) would get any oscar nods, despite amazing performances by james garner and especially rachel mcadams. People voting for the oscar's are always like "yeah, we pick films based on creativity" and all that crap (even though we know they always don't) so i'd doubt they'd vote for this. 3) Not enough critics liked the movie...its rated only about 50% at rotten tomatoes- most oscar nominated films generate more positive reviews by critics. Like I said, I hope i'm prooved wrong Also, its only August. There's still probably about 4 more months of movies that'll possibly be nominated...the notebook will probably be overlooked  |
