...might run for the Senate in Minnesota in 2008. Why have celebrities--Reagan, Schwarzenegger, even Fred Grandy, the guy who played Gopher on The Love Boat--been so successful as politicians...
Puchtel arrived at Harvard in 2001 after being recruited by Harvard coach Tim Murphy to be a tight end on the Crimson football team. Puchtel had initially wanted to be a Golden Gopher, since his father Scott had been a two-time football letterwinner at Minnesota, but he was reportedly informed that there would be no spots for him on the school’s basketball team and that he would have to walk-on to the football team...
...hostile world. The drivers might as well be U.S. soldiers in a tank in Iraq. (In this sense, Crash is, implicitly, the most political film in contention.) And when they?re not driving, they?re reaming one another over real or imagined slights - shouting like a mogul at a gopher, and then (maybe) feeling a little remorse for lowering the level of civic dignity.

Perhaps the main reason no CGI film was nominated is that Pixar postponed the release of Cars--its only feature scheduled for 2005--to 2006. But the other CGI studios still won where it counts: worldwide box office for Madagascar...
