[DarkJedi]

Is anyone else online and still watching the oscars???

If so, please make yourselves heard here! Make your predictions or talk about the winner and if you think they should have won.

[DarkJedi]

[Sci-Fi]

Well..I'm gonna watch the original SG1 movie at 7pm....then catch the last part of the award ceremonies.

[DarkJedi]

lol well keep an eye here.. the winners will be posted here. ;)
In fact....

Best Supporting Actor is Tim Robins. (personally I was rooting for the Last Samuri actor)

[jewels]

I only saw part of Billy's intro song, which was funny.

And Katherine Zeta-Jones dress was beautiful: flowing, beaded beautifully, looked like something she could dance all night in comfortably. I hope all the dresses this year went for such classic lines, I hate the taped-into the dress, the upper body might just escape-look that a lot of the dresses have had the past few years. Much prefer more classic evening gowns.

Jewels, who's sentenced to watch Bob the Builder for the next hour. *sigh*

Peter Jackson better get best Picture & pref. best director too!

[DarkJedi]

Ok a few more to give out...

Best Art Direction - Lord of the Rings (YES!!!!!!)

"Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki was nominated in 2003 and won. Animated films must be

“An animated feature film is defined as a motion picture of at least 70 minutes in running time with a significant number of the major characters animated, and in which animation figures in no less than 75% of the picture's running time.”

Believe there was a controversy last year about including "Stuart Little 2" on the short list. Read this:

[Muffit]

Was there any doubt LOTR would win Best Picture? :) After 10 other awards, seemed pretty logical. Now it's tied with Titanic and Ben Hur for most Oscars ever.

Bill Murray looked truly hurt when Jean Penn won Best Actor. I think he thought the Academy was going to give him a long overdue nod. Also Johnny Depp looked pretty disappointed. Charlize was the obvious choice for Best Actress, takes a lot of guts to make yourself look that bad on screen when you're actually beautiful.

I was hoping Johnny Depp would win. I thought he was really great (Sean should've won for I Am Sam last time). Lost in Translation was a bizarre movie, can't imagine why it won best original screenplay and had so many nominations. I'm happy for Sophia, it's just the movie really was kinda aimless, although it was entertaining a bit. The one thing I liked about it was the platonic nature of Bill's relationship with the young girl. Very rare nowadays.

I think quite often the Academy has to pass on an obvious choice for Hollywood-politics reasons, then gets stuck the next year having to make up for it by giving the award posthumously so to speak for a less than ideal performance, thus creating yet another problem with overlooking the right choice for that year. The Awards are neat and all, but I wonder if it's worth hurting so many each and every year.

It's fun to win; it hurts to lose; it's devastating when you aren't even noticed.

:muffit:

[DarkJedi]

I didn't want Sean Penn to win this time. I mean Johnny did an AWESOME job!!!!! And you are right. It hurts to lose. *sigh*

but LOTR ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thomas7g]

I have to admit... I'm anti-depp. He is kinda anti-american. he moved to Europe cause he hates america so much.

:P:

This is like reading the play-by-play of a ballgame, DarkJedi and jewels, with commentary from the peanut gallery interspersec. Very funny!

I think is someone wanted to say something really controversial, they should have asked if we'd see Mel Gibson up there next year...

Hey GA,

Who are you calling 'peanut gallery'?
I'll have you know that I'm not just your "run of the mill" nut, I happen to be a (ahem, *clears throat) ...cashew!

;)

[jewels]

and I thought he was macadamia all this time!

Lol. ;)

[Muffit]

I have to admit... I'm anti-depp. He is kinda anti-american. he moved to Europe cause he hates america so much.

:P:

Hmm, didn't know that. Well, I really don't think a person's religious or political views should ever affect how we reward them for their acting talent. I thought it was a really cold blow to skip Russel Crowe last year just because of a remark he made. (I noticed they even put him in the front row, pretty cold). The Awards are supposed to be for talent alone, aren't they? There are many athletes and singers of whom we might question their personal lives, but we do them honor for the efforts they make nonetheless.

Well, like I said, the Oscars have always had a Hollywood-politics bent to them. Occasionally those who really deserve them get honored. To this day I shake my head when I think Annie Hall beat Star Wars.

I really think there should be an award for comedy, and that they should reinstate the award for best child actor/actress. Comedy enriches our lives every bit as much as drama. And children shouldn't have to go up against 35 year old stars. Both Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland were given child awards. The little kid in Sixth Sense really deserved one.

Sorry for my rant! Cheers all!

[bsg1fan1975]

I was a bit disappointed with the Oscars! I though Jude Law should have won for Best Actor, Diane Keaton for Best Actress. Even though I liked ROTK I thought that Master and Commander which was another of my favorites should have won more Oscars than just two! glad Renee Zellweger won in her category though!

[shiningstar]

cashews are my favorite!!!:)

I like cashews too ............but I PREFER almonds :D

I think that Jude Law is an excellent actor ........that's the one actor I
would have loved to win for best actor ............I don't think the same
way about Keaten though ......................

I love Renee Zellweger. I think she's terrific :thumbsup:

[bsg1fan1975]

Diane Keaton was hilarious in "Something's Gotta Give"

I was disappointed that Russell Crowe wasn't nominated as well

[shiningstar]

I'm glad Charize Theron won ..........I really like her

[Gunstar Aries]

Cashews are OK, but I prefer Brazil nuts myself. At least outside of the present company.
:D :thumbsup:

Still, this thread IS a great read. Most entertaining. I'm not much of an awards fan; I thought LA Confidential deserved a 'Best Picture' but the Big Billion Dollar Boat beat it out. Plus the preachy Hollywood types are too political given a microphone and a podium.

BUT the ice has been broken!! A FANTASY film won a Best Picture!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now if we can just get a Science Fiction film to be appreciated by the Academy...
(and it should be known, I hold absolutely NO hope that Lucas will be responsible for that...)

Regards, all, and "thanks for the entertainment!"
