: You have to take things into consideration for this picture. First of all this is a Cameron Crowe movie, and history tells us that the Academy loves him and his movies. Two, in my opinion Lee hasn't been in an Oscar worthly movie yet, that doesn't mean I dislike the work he did with Kev, or any other movies he's been in, but non of them where roles to throw you into super-stardom. I really think this picture will be the exception. I haven't read anything but good things about this picture, and since it's coming out right when the Academy starts looking for movies to vote for, I think this could be the one to take Lee's stardom to another level, but thats just my retarded opinion.
: : I think it's funny how we've all been saying "Once [INSERT MOVIE NAME HERE] comes out, Lee is going to be a big star. First it was that one with the guy from friends, then Mumford, then Dogma... am I forgetting one? I hope Lee becomes a star because he's on of my fav actors, but I'm not holding my breath. And that's not because of his ability, because he has everything it takes to be a big star, but it's simply because I've thought XYZ Movie was going to catapult him to stardom too many times already.

: : : After reading a tremindous amount of shit on "Almost Famous" and seeing the trailer, it looks like a really really great movie. Anywho since Lee is the supporting actor, and it's a Crowe flick, yah think he might possibly be nominated for an Oscar. It's way to early to predict seeing as how I haven't seen the flick yet, but it's nice to think about...Academy Award Winner Jason Lee, that would make him a certified superstar.
