Oscar Nominations: Go LOTR!

The Oscar nominations came out today with Lord of the Rings and Master and Commander taking center stage. My hope is that Peter Jackson will finally get the nod for best director as he created the fantasy epic trilogy of our time. One nomination I don't get is Johnny Depp for Pirates of the Caribbean. I mean should someone playing a gay pirate really be applauded? And what's this, Kidman and Cruise bickering at the Golden Globes over cellphone text messages? [Discussion]
