Here we go again... Nominees are in preferential order.

Cloned From: 

Some things, Oldboy is not an original script, its based on a Manga.

Who is Matthieu Amalric (Munich)?, the french blonde mercenary or his father?, i thought Kassovitz sp? and Geoffrey Rush were very good. No Best direction for Kung Fu Hustle?

Also, you gave best direction and best script nominations to Munich, but you only gave the movie a B rating?

You're right about "Oldboy". I didn't realize that. I'll correct it.

Also, yeah... "Munich" deserves the best direction nod. The best screenplay nod is mainly because Adapted is such a weak field this year. (I had similar issues with "Cache", which has enough nods to obscure the fact that I'm not sure the parts add up to a great whole.)

Munich deserves a best direction nod indeed, even with the infamous montage, maybe Oldboy can replace it in the adapted script nom.

And to answer your earlier question: Amalric played the young French information merchant.
