The Oscars

No new thread about this amazing event? :-P

Frankly I could care less this year as I haven't seen but two or three of the films mentioned, but I must say Annie Lennox was the highlight of the show. She looked fantastic, sang beautifully and she even won :)

Thank goodness she's no longer wearing Minnie Mouse ears to awards shows.

I am very happy that LOTR won all of the noms it had! I just wish I hadn't fallen asleep and missed the whole damned show! :p

Did you get to see the whole show Manda?

LOTR deserved it
Billy Crystal was cool
Johnny Depp was lovely

:P

It's a shame, I don't think Lord Of The Rings won enough.

Yes, that was sarcasm. They should've named it "Oscars: Lord Of The Rings" edition. I had to turn it off because it got so annoying after awhile, but I find all award shows useless, anyway.

Pah.

I began to fall asleep so I recorded the last 2.5 hours and watched with the benefit of fast-forward later.

Well, I don't agree with most of the awards they won.

Best Picture - Mystic River.
Best Director - Clint Eastwood.
Best Makeup - Monster (it wasn't nominated?)
Best Song - Kiss at the End of the rainbow (c'mon, at least it's in the movie - they publicised "into the west" as "we wrote this for a boy who DIED so if you don't vote you'll feel GUILTY!")
Best Score - I agree.
Best Art Direction - I agree.
Best Film Editing - WORST EDITED FILM I'VE EVER SEEN.
Best Costume Design - Boooring. Girl with a Pearl Earring was much more interesting.
Best Sound Mixing - Sure.
Best Adapted Screenplay - Yeah right. They forgot the most important part; EDITING OUT THE CRAP.
Best Visual Effects - Sure. Whatever.

I'm glad LOTR got all the oscars where they were nominated :)

NOOOOOOOO!!Bill Murray deserved the oscar...anyway the show was alot better than last year's one.

I totally agree with you abut Best Picture, Under Pressure.

"Man of the Hour" should have been nominated for and won best song. Out of the nominees, I love Annie Lennox, but that "Scarlet Tide" song was a treasure.

i wanted keisha castle-hughes to win. she was good.

I also wanted ellen degeneres to be nominated for whatever she could be nominated for (best actress in an animated film? best comedian in a film? hottest person over 40? take your pick.)

I wonder why Bill Murray took it so hard when he lost to Sean Penn. He was in tears and he was almost ready to stand up and walk out, until Billy Crystal said... 'Don't go Bill, we love you!'. I've always liked Bill Murray, but last night he was just a bad sport.

Other than that, very well deserved awards given last night. I have nothing to complain about.

starts to chant LOTR softly then gets louder as the night goes on

yeah...I guess so Mr.Jingles,but
Bill almost won all the awards for best actor in every events organized this year.

LOTR rules!! I just love Tolkien and I think that 11 oscars
was just O.K. for that film :-)
