Stone deserved one for director and Pacino for Actor and I know there are alot of Diaz haters out there however i am a fan and Ive gotta say she deserved at least a nom for supporting actress if not a win. She held her own against Pacino Woods and Heston quite well and made you even feel sympathy for her eminently unlikeable character. I think this is Stone's masterpiece as good as JFK if not better and the editing and gripping performances made you feel the intensity note for note.

Not "should of" but "should've" which is a contraction of "should have" and which makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?

Well done, Grammar Nazi. Why is it SO difficult for SO many English speaking people to...well...speak English?

This movie sucked and was unrealistic. Stone was smoking.

I don't think Stone deserved an Oscar for directing this (if anything he deserved one for "JFK").

Pacino definitely earned a nomination in my opinion. But the film should have also been considered for its use of sound mixing and special effects and whatnot. The production was really interesting, Stone never ceases to give us great quality films (even U Turn looked good at least).

I don't think anyone from this movie deserved a nomination unless it was for something off camera and obscure like best grip.
