It's time to second-guess the Academy and toast the great overlooked performances of 2005, from Scarlett Johansson to ... Sharon Stone.

    You know how you look around for a movie critic you connect with? Read a few reviews, give them the benefit of the doubt for a film or two? Maybe try the Times, or the Tribune, or hey somewhere online? I have to say Salon is a big whiff on this score for me. Charles Taylor was execrable. I mean, he would write things that to me read like "Food is not good to eat" and "For breathing, try methane". Andrew is so far off in indie land that I look at my Netflix queue and blush with shame.

    Stephanie I just kinda don't get. Scarlett Jo -- I'm with the poster below in saying "what?". Sharon Stone, yeah, that was a good turn. Nothing beats a throwaway role isn't thrown away.

    But "Red Eye"? Rachel McAdams? Hey, let's give her two Oscars, cause she was SO affecting in Wedding Crashers (for which VV should in fact win something -- probably a car or a Senate seat).
