2004 Justademy Awards

I contemplated skipping this year all together because the academy actually got the awards right this year. There is one that is debatable between many people but other than that, all are right. So says i. But the reason i decided not to was because they totally flubbed a couple nominations. There are many people and films that didn't get nominated that were very deserving. So changes to the nominees but not necessarily the winners. Oh that was all a spoiler alert by the way. And i must apologize to Kevin Bacon. I threw a tantrum when the nominees came out in 2004 and he wasn't nominated for best actor for "The Woodsman." But when i did mine, i couldn't fit him in either. Sorry Mr. Bacon. There were 7 award worthy performances in this year by leading men. Without any further blabbering on....
