The Academy Award nominations are out...and here's my professional analysis:

Brokeback Mountain received 8 nominations. I wouldn't be surprised if it won at least 6 of the 8 awards. Why? Because mainstreaming homosexuality seems to be the agenda of choice this year...and the actual success of the movie doesn't seem to matter (in my opinion, the only thing that kept Brokeback in the box-office top 10 so long was the fact that it swept the Golden Globes - it was fading out before that travesty).

Good Night and Good Luck received 6 nominations. The liberal actor George Clooney directed, acted in, and helped to write this revision of a book that has been discredited from a historical perspective. Basically, all this film amounts to is yet more liberal McCarthy bashing...no surprise that it's one of the top nominees.

Munich received 4 nominations. This Spielberg film is based on yet another historically discredited account, this one of the massacre of the Israeli Olympic wrestling team by Palestinian terrorists. Again, no surprise that liberal anti-Israel, pro-Palestine Hollywood would laud this film, even though it was only in the top 10 for three weeks, and even then it was floundering around the bottom of the list.

Other nominees of note:
Transamerica: Not quite the homosexual agenda in its purest form, but the gay agenda is often found hand-in-hand (no pun intended) with the trans-sexual agenda. No surprises here.

Syriana: "No war for oil!!!" Need I say more?

Memoirs of a Geisha: basically, the glorification of prostitution, though I'm sure the moral relativist crowd finds some sort of deeper meaning in this film.

Hustle & Flow: A film about a pimp who decides to do something with his life...so he becomes a rapper. Does America really need this kind of junk?

The Constant Gardner: Another agenda-driven film, but this one probably won't win much of anything. Anti-corporate America isn't very big on the list of fad agendas this year...but, then, you never know.


I have absolutely no plans to watch any of Hollywood's award shows, but if I did, there would be only one reason behind my watching: to see if The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe actually won any awards. It has, after all, grossed over $277,867,000, making it the highest-grossing film out right now, and the 28th highest US gross of all time (Brokeback Mountain didn't even make the list). Despite its popularity, though, Narnia was only nominated for 3 awards: best achievement in makeup, sound, and visual effects. I'll be very surprised if it wins any of them, as the pro-Christian agenda has been noticeably absent from Hollywood for at least the past 40 years.


Oh, and on a humerous note: Just a week or two after Geena Davis won the Golden Globe Award for Best Acress in a Drama Television Series, "Commander in Chief" is set to be pulled by ABC due to poor ratings...who'da thunk it?
