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

Finally LOTR gets all that they deserve. I enjoyed watching the show, as this year all the people won that I wanted to win...that usually never happens. ;^)

Did you get to see the whole show Manda?

I stayed up till about 10pm, but decided to go to bed since I was already late for bed. I just had my sister come and wake my up when the show was over to tell me the results.

Btw, I was quite disappointed with the best actor/actress results - I was hoping Bill Murray and Keisha Castle-Hughes would win.

Oh, and I thought the dresses weren't as good this year as they were last year!

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.

Na na na na na naaaaaaaaaah @ Lester!

;^P

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.

"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!")"

- Oh, come on. I guess we'll just assume that they didn't even think that "Into the West" was a genuinely good song and that they just gave them the Oscar out of pity. What a lame excuse.

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.)
