the 78th annual Academy Awards

[GoldenAgeHero]

eventually someone had to start this thread. i started one last year , so i figured might as well make it a tradition.:) it begisn at 8 pm eastern tonight, dont know about you western bastrds.

so who do you hope wins an awrd tonight.

[GoldenAgeHero]

in all honesty, i woul;d not like capote to win, the film is too contrived. brokeback mountain eally doesnt deserve to win anything., but whatever.

[Batspider77]

i hope Joaquin Phoenix wins "best Actor" i really liked him as Johnny Cash....very good movie.

[XwolverineX]

There's allready a Will you be watchin' thread. So whatever..

[GoldenAgeHero]

this isnt a will you be watching it. this threads is actually about the award show. anyhow, this year has been pretty much bland. i really wish the academy would observe other movies the deserve an award.

What do you mean?

[kainedamo]

I hope Brokeback Mountain doesn't win the best film in this year's Oscars. Alot of people seem to think that's how it's gonna go, and I'd say I'd agree. But you know what? It doesn't deserve it. It's a good movie, but it's not THAT good. It's not great. I liked it, but was also left feeling disappointed.

The film lost it's momentum the first time they came down from the mountain. It just wasn't as interesting after that. The movie focused very little on the relationship of the two main characters. It was more focused on Heith Ledger's character, and his family. And when the two guys did meet up, it wasn't like it was romantic or like they were deeply in love. I didn't "feel the love". The sex scenes too, they weren't passionate enough. Rough sex, "I kinda wanna beat you up but wanna bone you" sex doesn't mean it's passionate. It just seemed to me they wanted to get their nuts off rather than actually make love.

The movie dragged. Especially when they came down off the mountain for the first time. The movie really, REALLY dragged. It was well shot, well acted and everything, but just not a great movie overall.

I think it will win best film simply because of politics.

Crash is a better film and should pick up the Oscar. Actually, maybe Walk The Line should get it. Walk The Line was great.

[Darthphere]

This didnt need its own thread.

[murdock_matt]

I hope that Phoenix wins for "Walk the Line".

I can't say that "Brokeback Mountain" should or should not win since I haven't seen it yet. And I AM NOT, nor do I want to sound like, a gay-basher, but I'm tired of a film getting critical acclaim and award nominations simply because it shows homosexuality in a positive light. And it's not just homosexuality, but anything. Racism, the Holocaust, whatever. It seems like if a movie picks an oppressed minority and lifts it up - exploits its trials and tribulations, it's automatically given this gold card of merit and is bestowed as an "important film."

I think it is important to elighten people about the plights of others on this planet. I'm not belittling any group of people. My problem is with how these films are instantly deified (for lack of a better word). I'm sure "Mountain" is a well-made film with superb acting. But I can't help but feel that much of the attention it gets is for its taboo subject matter.

I would like to see the public reaction to a movie about gay man who's in a serious relationship when he finds himself attracted to woman that he falls in love with. The gay lover would be this hateful, oppressive man (usually a role reserved for the narrow-minded heterosexuals) who tries to belittle the title character for this unbelievable change of lifestyle.

I guess "Chasing Amy" sort of covered this ground but the lesbian in that film was not "allowed" to run off with Ben Affleck in the end.

[C.F. Kane]

I'm watching it right now.

Jon Stewart was dying a bit in the first part of his monologue.

Picked up a bit with the gay cowboy montage :up:

[Capt Throbberson]

Wow, maybe Brokebank won't take everything

[Calvin]

Crash shouldn't have even been nominated.

[murdock_matt]

George Clooney is hilarious. What a Great speech.

[JanG]

I agree, nice speech by him.

[GoldenAgeHero]

the ben stiller bit is hilarious.

[Stringer]

Yeah good speech my Clooney

[GoldenAgeHero]

dang wallace and gromit won. bleh

[murdock_matt]

Wow. Nick Park, "Kong" and Clooney. I like the way Oscar's going this year.

[superkong 500]

Yea king kong just won for visual effects!

[kainedamo]

Why not? What should have been nominated in it's place??

[JanG]

Oh well, when Wallace won nobody really cared about their acceptance speech.

And Dolly Parton looks like a puppet of plaster. :(

[MaskedManJRK]

And how is it different from any other Oscar winner? :o

[kainedamo]

Did Wallace and Gromit really win best animation??

If so, I'm so disappointed. Howl's Moving Castle is such a spectacular movie. Like I said, humor alone shouldn't be enough and isn't enough to make it best animation. If you think about it, this degrades the entire animation medium into something that is only supposed to be funny.

[Calvin]

Why not? What should have been nominated in it's place??
A lot of other movies. It was a cloyingly simplistic after-school special of a script that does nothing but deal with the most basic and stereotypical themes, all while cribbing Magnolia yet miraculously missing the point of the very thing it was cribbing, using it for pure contrivance instead.

The acting was phenominal though.

[Gamma Ray]

Kong won for FX. I can't think of any more deserving film from 2005, or any year, for that matter.

[murdock_matt]

I don't know. I find the biggest appeal of W&G to be not that it's funny, but that it is such a laborious process, you know it's a project of love and dedication.

[kainedamo]

And How's Moving Castle wasn't??

It shouldn't be about which was harder to make. Everyone knows that clay animation takes forever. It should be about the merits of the movie!! And as a movie, all that W&G had for it was humor!

[murdock_matt]

I didn't say that is why it should have won, I just said that's the biggest appeal for me.

[Gamma Ray]

Dolly Parton must have horrible back pains.

[GoldenAgeHero]

who cares if its laborous process. the film isnt that funny.

[kainedamo]

I just think it's such a pity. It takes nothing away from the quality of Howl's of course, and the people that love it will still love it. But Oscar recognition would have been great for it. Maybe with another Oscar for team Gibli, the west will finally give these movies just as much recognition as western animation. Japenese animation is so far ahead of the west, and we don't recognise it. Seriously, the movie is better than most live action the west produces.

[sleekbelle]

Hooray for Wallace & Gromit. Loved that movie.

-Sleek

[murdock_matt]

Oh, Sleek. Save yourself. Trust me... don't get involved in that one.

[GoldenAgeHero]

stop being biased.

[kainedamo]

Yeah... read my posts on the previous page Sleek!

GoldenAgeHero, how am I being biased?? That doesn't even make sense.

[murdock_matt]

Man, the Make-Up noms were lacking this year.

[JanG]

As usuall, most of the movies are nothing special...

Did anyone see Kiera Knightly? She's wearing way too much make-up. What in the hell is she hiding, she's so young.

[PWN3R]

I hope BB wins theirs...

That sucks Star Wars lost to Narnia just a sec ago....

[JanG]

As a once star wars fan with a hint of that left in my username, I'm glad SW didn't win. They've beaten the dead horse with that franchise, and this award was for wardrobe. I hope i'm not the only one who noticed Palpatine looked worse than he did in any previous film. He looked like something from the Sci-fi channel.

[murdock_matt]

I think Star Wars relied too much on CGI to win anything for physical make-up effects.

[murdock_matt]

I though the award was for Make up

[Capt Throbberson]

It was

[GoldenAgeHero]

what was the point, of the black and white homage.

[PWN3R]

I though the award was for Make up

Yeah it was..lol

I was just hoping it would win everything its in. ;)

But yeah Narnia's costumes were better....

[HighVoltage]

Clooney won an Oscar, well now everyone can win one of these awards.

[Capt Throbberson]

Yeah... read my posts on the previous page Sleek!

GoldenAgeHero, how am I being biased?? That doesn't even make sense.
You went on about Japan being better than the west and the west refusing to recongise it, which is almost completely untrue since Spirited Away won. Honestly, I can make a post about how claymation isn't appreciated enough that would make a hell of alot more sense

[Blade_fan1911]

Jeez, they are really sticking to Jon's DS political comedy. Not that it's bad though just suprized by it.

[kainedamo]

I say that it doesn't get the same recognition because the only place I could watch Howl's Moving Castle when it came out was a student film theatre. None of the big cinemas had it. I'm sure it's the same in alot of towns and cities. The media doesn't do enough to ensure these movies actually get watched. But yeah, Spirited Away getting the Oscar was a great sign of recognition.

[GoldenAgeHero]

man the song thats going on right now feel liks im watching a school play:(

[Cmill216]

Brokeback's been shut out so far. Very interesting....

[zer00]

Interesting song:o

Decent show so far. Probobly best in years. ...which is kind of sad.

[zer00]

Brokeback's been shut out so far. Very interesting....

Which is either. Surprising or unsurprising:o

[JanG]

It's a decent show, some of the films featured at least seem interesting, and my god that last joke thing with kiera knightly, scarlet, dench etc was hilarious.

[Cmill216]

(SIGH) Keira...

[XwolverineX]

Memoirs of a Geisha AGAIN. Ughh...


This time next year I bet V for Vendetta will be takin' home various awards.

[GoldenAgeHero]

ya know all these movies are the type have been noticed by hollywood time and time over again. good night and good luck, memoris of geisha, blah!!!!

[zer00]

I reaally don't like the music playing during the speeches. It's distracting and a bit confusing.

[JanG]

Cmill216, did you feel the tale they told of Keira was accurate for you? :)

[Capt Throbberson]

V for Vendetta looks crappy, even for a crappy summer action movie

[XwolverineX]

Batman Begins and King King were the best films this year. In my mind. Not brokeback mountain... :o

[Cmill216]

Cmill216, did you feel the tale they told of Keira was accurate for you? :)

The cheekbones, kids. The cheekbones. :D:D:D

(Sigh)

Too bad she won't win. Damn you, Reese!

[Calvin]

Batman was great until the end.

[Cmill216]

Here comes the president...

[Cmill216]

Keira's on the frontpage of IMDB right now. Omen?

:eek:

Doubt it. (SIGH)

[zer00]

Guess it's about time someone said all that:o

[murdock_matt]

Is John Williams nominated for best score this year?

[Cmill216]

Is John Williams nominated for best score this year?

Twice.

[Obsidian]

My heart just stopped when I saw Salma Hayek! Damn, she's looking hot tonight!:up:

Did anyone notice that Mickey Rooney was about to cry?

[murdock_matt]

Jeez! I mean, the man is great... a true living legend to be honest. But it's nice for others to be recognized too.

[murdock_matt]

Did anyone notice that Mickey Rooney was about to cry?

I didn't know he was still even alive.

[murdock_matt]

Well, I don't think that breaks John Williams' heart. He probably didn't have any room on his mantle for another statue anyway.

[PWN3R]

John Williams was denied!


...................

[JanG]

The cheekbones, kids. The cheekbones. :D:D:D

(Sigh)

Too bad she won't win. Damn you, Reese!

I agree...death to reese. I can't stand her middle america, homely image. She was practically in tears after that comedy sketch. What a cheeseball.

[PWN3R]

Well, I don't think that breaks John Williams' heart. He probably didn't have any room on his mantle for another statue anyway.

So true....

[Cmill216]

Brokeback got its first one. Best Score. Fitting isn't it? ;)

[GoldenAgeHero]

capote doesnt deserve to be nominated.

[Darthphere]

capote doesnt deserve to be nominated.


You dont deserve to be able to judge movies, but no one is complaining.:up:

[murdock_matt]

Best Score. Cute.

[murdock_matt]

Jake Gyllenhaal would make a great Peter Parker.

[Cmill216]

Jake Gyllenhaal would make a great Peter Parker.

Sony wanted Tobey to stay for SM2. They paid him $17 mill to get his a$$ together. Tells you something, doesn't it?

[Gamma Ray]

Kong 2 for 3. Hopefully it'll be 3 for 4 by nights end.

[Gamma Ray]

Batman Begins and King King were the best films this year. In my mind. Not brokeback mountain... :o


Agreed. :) :up:

[murdock_matt]

What's Kong's last nomination for?

[XwolverineX]

Agreed. :) :up:


It's like there biased against Supeheroes. :o

[XwolverineX]

Jake Gyllenhaal would make a great Peter Parker.



I agree 100%... :up:

[Cmill216]

What's Kong's last nomination for?

Best Monkey.

But I think Bubbles might steal that one.

[Cmill216]

It's hard out here for a pimp. This is so damn awkward.

[zer00]

Jack is so the only one in that audience enjoying this.

...you know it

[JanG]

It's hard out here for a pimp. This is so damn awkward.

Haha, but I think Calvin said he liked the song. How bout it Calvin? I know he loved the movie.

[GoldenAgeHero]

great gawd rap doesnt belong at the oscars for sure! holy crap they won!!!!!!! :o

[Cmill216]

Jack is so the only one in that audience enjoying this.

...you know it

Amy Adams sure liked it.

[Cmill216]

The Queen!

[JanG]

and the way she announced the winner is classic.

[zer00]

Thank god for Jon:o

[Cmill216]

Jon's doing great!

[Blade_fan1911]

Yes!!!, 3-6 won an oscar....:::claps:::

[JanG]

Garner just accidently said "it infall" hahahahahahaha

[GoldenAgeHero]

Jack is so the only one in that audience enjoying this.

...you know it

jack nicholson? he was ebjoying the rap song?

[zer00]

jack nicholson? he was ebjoying the rap song?

Hey look behind you

[Capt Throbberson]

We ridin spinnaz

also oscars

[JanG]

well we are being biased for the jack nicolson footage. They keep cutting to either Keira, Jack, or both since they are sitting next to each other, for some reason.

Did anyone else think Stewart did poorly in the beginning and then increased by the end of the intro? Now he's doing well.

[superkong 500]

third award for kong sound editing wohoooo!

[Cmill216]

well we are being biased for the jack nicolson footage. They keep cutting to either Keira, Jack, or both since they are sitting next to each other, for some reason.

Did anyone else think Stewart did poorly in the beginning and then increased by the end of the intro? Now he's doing well.

They can cut to Keira all day if they want to. As a matter of fact...


"Hey, Bobby. Tighten the shot on Keira.....what.....yes....the whole frame....thank you."

[murdock_matt]

I guess that was a montage of people who died in 05. They didn't have Don Knotts or Darrin McGavin.

[zer00]

I guess that was a montage of people who died in 05. They didn't have Don Knotts or Darrin McGavin.

I guess. I still think they missed a few.

[GoldenAgeHero]

Hey look behind you

just answer the question.

[Cmill216]

I guess that was a montage of people who died in 05. They didn't have Don Knotts or Darrin McGavin.

Too recent, i guess. Probably next year for those two.

[zer00]

just answer the question.

Do what I told you first.

[murdock_matt]

I hate that Stewart keeps making 36 Mafia jokes. It's so disrespectful to keep joking about how unlikely it was that they won.

[GoldenAgeHero]

well it was unlikely, who the **** saw it coming? not me. anywho here we are to best male actor! gawd seymore hoffman won for best actor?!arghhhh. his role in capote is so contrived. BS!!

[murdock_matt]

Man! I was soooo pulling for Joaquin!!

[Capt Throbberson]

I'm still waiting for Cinematography for obvious reasons

[Darthphere]

well it was unlikely, who the **** saw it coming? not me. anywho here we are to best male actor! gawd seymore hoffman won for best actor?!arghhhh. his role in capote is so contrived. BS!!


You keep saying that. Do you have to repeat that to make yourslef believe it>

[GoldenAgeHero]

You keep saying that. Do you have to repeat that to make yourslef believe it>

the role is contrived. ungh!!!

[Darthphere]

the role is contrived. ungh!!!


Yeah, and its not true, which makes me believe you dont even know what the word means.

[KenK]

I hate that Stewart keeps making 36 Mafia jokes. It's so disrespectful to keep joking about how unlikely it was that they won.

C'mon, the Martin Scorcese one was priceless!!

"Scorecard:

Martin Scorcese - No Oscars
Three 6 Mafia - One Oscar"

[Capt Throbberson]

Here it comes,

[murdock_matt]

Sorry Cap.

[Darthphere]

Denied!

[Erzengel]

Seriously GAH you mentioned Capote being contrived twice. I'd respect your opinion if you actually saw it.

[Capt Throbberson]

I knew it wasn't going to win, but I just wanted to see it nominated

[GoldenAgeHero]

Seriously GAH you mentioned Capote being contrived twice. I'd respect your opinion if you actually saw it.

i did see it. the character is extremely annoying. i just couldnt believe the character.

[Erzengel]

i did see it. the character is extremely annoying. i just couldnt believe the character.

Fair enough.

[Darthphere]

i did see it. the character is extremely annoying. i just couldnt believe the character.


But he was a real character.:confused:

[GoldenAgeHero]

Yeah, and its not true, which makes me believe you dont even know what the word means.

corny and contrived, fake and melodramatic, insincerely emotional; also written hokey

and that is exactly what the role and entire film is.

[GoldenAgeHero]

But he was a real character.:confused:

i know the film is based on the author. but the way the film is make it seem too out there.

[JanG]

I am proud of Reese Witherspoon for making her bed. :(

[Darthphere]

i know the film is based on the author. but the way the film is make it seem too out there.


Honestly, Truman Capote was very out there.

[LastSunrise1981]

corny and contrived, fake and melodramatic, insincerely emotional; also written hokey

and that is exactly what the role and entire film is.

For some reason I highly doubt that you've seen it.


I take it that Phoenix was robbed? :(

[Gamma Ray]

I am pround of Reese Witherspoon for making her bed. :(


I'm proud of her work in Freeway. One of the worst performances I've ever seen.

[murdock_matt]

I'm proud of her for that nude scene in "Twilight"

[murdock_matt]

Best Adaptation: Brokeback Mountain.

Good thing they cut that line in the climax:

"Stop. Just stop. You had me at 'howdy.'"

[LastSunrise1981]

I'm proud of her work in Freeway. One of the worst performances I've ever seen.

Keifer Sutherland was creepy in that movie though. :eek:

[Immortalfire]

Joaquin so should have won. :(

[murdock_matt]

CRASH!! wow. That was a shocker.

[zer00]

Don't like the winnder for cinematography or Director:o

[KenK]

I am proud of Reese Witherspoon for making her bed. :(

I'm just happy she didn't pull a "Hillary Swank" and forget to thank her clearly less-famous husband.

[Dark Donnie]

Crash was definately a shock, but still deserving!

[JanG]

Ok, lets talk about the idiosyncracies. We know that from every angle they shoved the whole "anti piracy" thing down our throat, as well as encouraging us to see movies in theaters. Going as far as Jake commenting on how bad movies look on portables. I must say though, they are right about some things, when it comes to what the "theater" experience is. We are becoming an individulastic society when regarding the arts...

Another thing. Do you guys get the sneaking suspician Crash was the favorite for a lot of the people at the awards show? A lot of people were talking about equality and discrimination and such all night long.

[Stringer]

Ugh Crash won. But oh well

[ZeroSuit]

Serenity wasn't nominated for anything, so i can't say i care much.

[kytrigger]

Another thing. Do you guys get the sneaking suspician Crash was the favorite for a lot of the people at the awards show? A lot of people were talking about equality and discrimination and such all night long.

I still thought it was a shock for most of the people there...Jack Nicholson's face said it all. As for all the talk about equality and discrimination, I think that could apply to half of the movies nominated, not just Crash.

[JanG]

ZeroSuit...nerd.

So Crash won. I never saw it, but I saw Amores Perros. What did any of you think, comparing the films?

and I agree with you kytrigger. It's an issue that has been important lately in entertainment. But it still lends more favor to Crash.

[Karea07]

I'm glad Reese won BA and Crash won BM.

[GoldenAgeHero]

Serenity wasn't nominated for anything, so i can't say i care much.


uhh no.

[Poeman]

Hell Yess Crash Won

Yesssss

[Dr. Evil]

Three Six Mafia won an Oscar? I was shocked by that.

[Dwarf lord]

Joaquin so should have won. :(

I agree, but I went in knowing he wouldn't. With all of the "minority" movies being supported this year like Crash, Brokeback Mountain, Copote, ect, I have a feeling he wouldn't win. Capote, being a gay man deffinantly had it going in. It's too bad though, because I feel that Joaquin had the superior performance. See, it's easy to play a real person when they aren't exactly that famous. But, Joaquin had very little room for interpretation and he channeled the Man in Black flawlessly.

[Prognosticator]

Did anyone see that boobshot from that redhead when Crash won??

[Dwarf lord]

i know the film is based on the author. but the way the film is make it seem too out there.

He was out there. :confused:

[Flexo]

Yea king kong just won for visual effects!

:) :up:

Really deserved it, too.

Yeah, Joaquin was screwed in a year that was ONLY about giving props to Hollywood's liberal agenda!

[Dwarf lord]

Yeah, Joaquin was screwed in a year that was ONLY about giving props to Hollywood's liberal agenda!

I'm not trying to throw politics in there, but it was a civil rights agenda. At times it felt like a special intrest awards show, not the Oscars.

[Dwarf lord]

:) :up:

Really deserved it, too.

Oh yeah. I was less excited about the ape, than I was excited about the recreation of 1930's New York City. Now that was a sight to see. It made the Jazz and old movie fan in me very, very happy. :)

[ZeroSuit]

uhh no.

i know, i had trouble believing it didn't get a nod either. but what can you do?

[Shifty]

Did anyone see that boobshot from that redhead when Crash won??

Yeah I noticed that.

Paul Haggis created Walker Texas Ranger which is even a bigger surprise than his film winning.

[Dwarf lord]

Walker Texas Ranger is quality television, man.

[KenK]

I'm happy Crash won, although I never thought it would win. I figured if there was going to be an upset, it'd be "Goodnight and Good Luck."

[Dr. Evil]

The Shocker of the night:

http://wano.w.skyblog.com/pics/27659895.jpg

Winning an Oscar.

[Dwarf lord]

I'm happy Crash won, although I never thought it would win. I figured if there was going to be an upset, it'd be "Goodnight and Good Luck."

I really want to see Goodnight and Good Luck, being the history buff that I am. And it's a black and white movie too!

[Liquid Snake]

I am proud of Reese Witherspoon for making her bed. :( Yeah, what an annoying moron. Most people are annoying, why do they have to thank other people? WHo make them feel special, just accept the award and get the hell off the stage. Most of the speeches were awkward; I liked the old guy with heart transplant though. Most old people say less and mean more.

[unknownuser]

the academy got it right this time with the best picture unlike last year :D

[C.F. Kane]

Brokeback Mountain lost!?!?!?!?!






Okay, not as bad as Saving Private Ryan beaten by Shakespeare in Love, but still!

[Dwarf lord]

Yeah, what an annoying moron. Most people are annoying, why do they have to thank other people? WHo make them feel special, just accept the award and get the hell off the stage. Most of the speeches were awkward; I liked the old guy with heart transplant though. Most old people say less and mean more.

I loved her speech. It was genuine. And she deserved that award more than I think anyone else there (except for Joaquin, who didn't win :(). She truly got in June's body and channeld her, while learning how to sing and play the auto harp. That takes skill that few have.

[Liquid Snake]

She truly got in June's body and channeld her, while learning how to sing and play the auto harp.

Most people just go on and on about stuff and than realize they;'re too late.

[Karea07]

she wasn't making a fool of herself...

[Poetic Chaos]

+'s: Witherspoon and Clooney. Memoirs winning 3. Crash upset.

-'s: Three 6 Mafia. Kong winning visual and sound. War of the Worlds was kinda robbed.

[Stringer]

Hopefully we'll get better contenders for the awards this year.

[Darth Elektra]

Yeah, Joaquin was screwed in a year that was ONLY about giving props to Hollywood's liberal agenda!

If that was true, Broke Back Mountain would have won.

[블라스]

Munich was robbed :down
Best Picture dammit! :mad:

[The Guard]

Hmm...

All in all, not a bad night. Jon Stewart wasn't bad, and Ben Stiller was pretty much hilarious. And Tom Hanks got hit on the head with a viola. What's not to like?

BEST MOTION PICTURE OF THE YEAR
Crash

While I was hoping to see MUNICH take this award, I was glad to see that it wasn't just handed to BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. CRASH really was one of the two best films of the year in my mind, and I wasn't really surprised to see it win.

ACHIEVEMENT IN DIRECTING
Ang Lee - Brokeback Mountain

It's hard not to root for Ang Lee, but I thought George Clooney had a real shot.

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Capote

I haven't seen CAPOTE, but I'm pretty sure this one was well-deserved.

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Reese Witherspoon - Walk the Line

This one kind of bothered me. Reese was good in WALK THE LINE, but hardly amazing. The role can't have been that much of a stretch for her. Charlize Theron, Felicity Huffman and Judi Dench gave much better performances, and I think the same could be argued for Keira Knightley. I didn't exactly see June Carter in WALK THE LINE, and even if I had, is that supposed to impress us?

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
George Clooney

Seems to be well-deserved, from what I've seen and heard.

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener

Very good choice. She was absolutely fantastic in this film.

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana - Brokeback Mountain

Meh.

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Paul Haggis & Bobby Moresco - Crash

Again, well-deserved.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM OF THE YEAR
Don't Tell
Joyeux Noel
Paradise Now
Sophie Scholl - The Final Days
Tsotsi

Not having seen any of these...

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM OF THE YEAR
Howl's Moving Castle
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Haven't seen HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. But I think claymation has it's charms, and WALLACE AND GROMIT certainly did.

ACHIEVEMENT IN ART DIRECTION
Memoirs of a Geisha
Art Direction: John Myhre
Set Decoration: Gretchen Rau

No argument here.

ACHIEVEMENT IN CINEMATOGRAPHY
Memoirs of a Geisha
Dion Beebe

No argument here, either. Tough choice, though.

ACHIEVEMENT IN COSTUME DESIGN
Memoirs of a Geisha
Colleen Atwood

She definitely deserved this one.

BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
March of the Penguins

I thought it would go to ENRON, which had a lot more depth to it than MARCH OF THE PENGUINS did. Still, this was a hell of a film experience.

ACHIEVEMENT IN FILM EDITING
Crash
Hughes Winborne

Another tough choice. And talk about boring speeches.

ACHIEVEMENT IN MAKEUP
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Howard Berger and Tami Lane

Easily deserved this one.

ACHIEVEMENT IN MUSIC WRITTEN FOR MOTION PICTURES
(ORIGINAL SCORE)
Brokeback Mountain
Gustavo Santaolalla

It's "main theme" seems to have won it this one. Seems to me the Academy just decided John Williams could wait another year or two for another one. :)

ACHIEVEMENT IN MUSIC WRITTEN FOR MOTION PICTURES
(ORIGINAL SONG)
"It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" - Hustle & Flow

I'm thinking this one one simply because it had the most words. Seriously. :)

ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND MIXING
King Kong
Christopher Boyes, Michael Semanick, Michael Hedges and Hammond Peek

Happy.

ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND EDITING
King Kong

Happy.

ACHIEVEMENT IN VISUAL EFFECTS
King Kong
Joe Letteri, Brian Van’t Hul, Christian Rivers and Richard Taylor

This is one of those "duh" moments.

BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT
A Note of Triumph: The Golden Age of Norman Corwin

Haven't seen any of them.

BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM
Badgered
The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation
The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello
9
One Man Band

Nice to see hand-drawn animation with depth get some more glory.

BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
Six Shooter

Haven't seen it.

[Dr. Evil]

At least the Oscar is better than the piece of Cow Dung TV Show on Fox known as The War at Home.

[LetsHangBendis]

And remember: Martin Scorsese: 0, three 6 mafia: 1.

It sickens me.

[Sardaukar]

Preachy/contrived CRASH should not have even been nominated, much less won.

BBM was robbed. How can you have two best actor nominations, win best screenplay, win best director, and not win best picture?

[Darth Elektra]

Preachy/contrived CRASH should not have even been nominated, much less won.

BBM was robbed. How can you win best cinematography, have two best actor nominations, win best screenplay, win best director, and not win best picture?

Good question. BBM deserved to win.

[cyborg ninja 14]

Did anyone notice that Tom Hanks thanked Hooch a split second before he got bashed with a violin? Pure genius.

[The Guard]

Preachy/contrived CRASH should not have even been nominated, much less won.

What isn't preachy and contrived? I mean, seriously. Like BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN wasn't?

BBM was robbed. How can you have two best actor nominations, win best screenplay, win best director, and not win best picture?

It's quite simple. It wasn't the best picture. I mean, it was basically preaching "It's ok to hurt people to fulfill your lust". Is that supposed to be an impressive message? CRASH said far more about intolerance than BROKEBACK said about intolerance. And it was a hell of a lot more relevant.

[Poeman]

Preachy/contrived CRASH should not have even been nominated, much less won.

BBM was robbed. How can you have two best actor nominations, win best screenplay, win best director, and not win best picture?

because a Best original SCREENPLAY, and BEST ensemble cast in a film means a best picture

you get!?

[WorthyStevens]

Preachy/contrived CRASH should not have even been nominated, much less won.

BBM was robbed. How can you have two best actor nominations, win best screenplay, win best director, and not win best picture?

:rolleyes:

Well, how can a movie have a Best Actor/Actress nomination, not have a Best Picture/Director nomination, and win only the Best Actress award?

I feet Walk the Line was robbed, but you don't hear me going on about it.

[swifty]

beside that Bjok joke which was actually funny, Jon Stewart should've been shot or the people reponsible for hiring him.

[RedIsNotBlue]

So King Kong won some awards and Seymour Hoffman took the Best Actor award?? I am happy. I am sorry if this sounds stupid but I don't really follow the Academy Awards that closely but was Batman Begins up for anything or has Hollywood still not accepted "comic book" films?

[GoldGoblin]

^Academy Awards are just for mostly the boring movies,I'm surprised that King Kong actually won anything since it's not a boring movie.:)

[Super_Ludacris]

If your gonna insult at least spell his name right


And it's great to see Crash win, George Clooney too

[Super_Ludacris]

Good question. BBM deserved to win.


Film examining racial prejudices that exist today (even on these boards)>>>> Donnie Darko and the Brother Grimm humping in a tent

I kid of course, but I'm really glad Crash, not that I would upset if Brokeback had won I hadnt seen it but Crash really moved me personally speaking

[RedIsNotBlue]

IMO I think Brokeback Mountain seems really overrated. It has a great taboo and message being taken on though. I haven't seen the entire film but I have seen the trailer and clips and from what I have seen Ledger's acting seems terrible. I mean he is just basically mumbling words...I don't get how that is acting??

[Super_Ludacris]

But lets keep real


Three 6 Mafia's performance and win>>>>> Anything else on the night

Man if only Batman Begins had got its award and Terrence Howard won best actor then it would have been the greatest night in Oscar History since Denzel and Halle took home the gold

[Dwarf lord]

If that was true, Broke Back Mountain would have won.

Civil Rights is still a very liberal agenda. I'm not a homophobe or anything, but for some reason, I'm really glad Brokeback Mountain didn't win. I also would have liked to see Walk the Line nominated. But I could see where a movie about a rich, white, prodestant male wouldn't do well at this years Oscars.

[Phoney Bone]

Haha...Jon Stewart was great. A few of his jokes bombed, but otherwise he was good, give him next year, and he'll get in the groove of things and be outstanding. My favorite joke of his was "For those of you keeping score at home. Martin Scorcese - 0 oscars......3 6 Mafia.......1"

[echostation]

are there any links to any video footage of Oscar acceptance speeches or Jon Stewart's jokes for this year?

[JackBauer]

meh... Crash was overrated. Good Night and Good Luck deserved more.

[Erzengel]

Oscars are a tough crowd. I think John Stewart did pretty well and I laughed at a lot of his jokes. But then again I dig watching his show.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Stewart did a great job its just that the audience was kinda stiff. I usually never laugh at the jokes on these kind of shows but Stewart had a couple where I was just laughing out loud.

[Gamma Ray]

Celebs are so stiff in real life. It pains them to laugh and clap.

[Super_Ludacris]

Couple of things to the people who think that it's a liberal thing for these films to win or even get nominated:

1) When I studied Media Stuides the thing we learned was that some of the most influential movies had connatations as to what was going on at the time (In the 50's and 70's when Westerns were the popular genre they had a strong influence on conservative/republican America as through John Wayne films or High Noon which was basically a shot at people who refuse to stand againt communism, James Cagney Gangster movies in the 30's spoke directly to people during the depression. Look at Cagney's character in Public Enemy or Angels with Dirty Faces and tell me they couldnt see a parallel in the character's origin) So although we go to the cinema for escapism its not entirely off base to say that films are anchored in reality or have something there that is relevant to the times (is it any coincidence Spiderman and the enitre superhero genre had a resurgance after 9/11?) So if you combine the fact that these topics are covered n genuinely good storylines its not hard to see Syriana, Brokeback, GNGL and Crash get there just due.
And I dont believe for a second there's a liberal because as I mentioned before we've had pro-american films for decades (Westerns, War epics, action flicks) and its still maintained today when films like the Passion and Narina. Films both awarded and profited. End of the Hollywood isnt Red State or Blue State, it's green: A Business and there is absolutley nothing wrong with that. Art should be able to be sold to the masses and the creators and suppliers should be rewarded through profits.

2) Crash isnt a Civil rights movie. Its a movie that reflects people of all races and how its a problem that's always existed but in a post 9/11 is really obvious, and as much as people say they dont like to be preached on all the film is doing is providing a snapshot of people's mindstate and how actions can alter it. That snapshot is a beautiful and fascinating piece of art. And Civil rights is not just a liberal agenda it's something everyone should be striving for, for people of all backgrounds

[Sava]

^^^ ...:up:...

[Dr. Evil]

Celebs are so stiff in real life. It pains them to laugh and clap.

And that will be the reason why mainstream comedies will never get any Oscar Nominations.

I hate to say this, but I think Conan O'Brien could be worse than Jon Stewart as Oscar host.

Steve Carrell and Ben Stiller were the only ones who were funny.

[tupelohoney]

i can't believe so people are bagging on jon stewart. he did a FANTASTIC job IMO... so much better than chris rock and several other recent hosts. i laughed aloud a bunch of times.

i think it was a smart call to have someone "outside of the industry" (we know that this isn't entirely true... but whatever, that's how he was pegged) host. made it much more enjoyable for me. seemed to be less sucking up to hollywood in general.

dr. evil: i agree that ben stiller was funny... but dontcha think the bit went on for just a little too long?

[PyroChamber]

But lets keep real


Three 6 Mafia's performance and win>>>>> Anything else on the nightScore one for hip hop! :up:
I wonder what all the rap haters have to say about that?

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah thats actually...pretty depressing. :(

[Erzengel]

That even Disney movies win for best song? :p

[Gamma Ray]

The only thing I really disliked was when Jon Stewart said "I'm a loser". It's such a talkshow line. Conan always says it.

As opposed to the rest of the Hollywood scene, who have class up the yin yang. Rappers are just more open about their antics. Everyone else does it behind closed doors, we need to let loose and act excited once in a while. They were the only ones who seemed thrilled about winning.

[Super_Ludacris]

Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and the Roots would disagree

open your mind and dig deep

Fools of themselves? Get off your high horse. Jon Stewart was right they should be excited they were the most genuine exciment. Three 6 have been around for 14 years, started selling CD's out the back of the car while touring themselves. They moved independently (that's what Hustle and Flow was about, how all these Southern Hip Hop acts moved independently and are now for better or worse quality wise made it to where there on radio and video). They were always respect but never got there due not even MTV, BET a Grammy or a Source Award (maybe a Source Award) but damn these dudes just won an Oscar. The most famous award there is, how the **** do you expect them to act

I bet your ass had no problem with Gyweneth balling her eyes out in 99 or when Robeto Bengigi was jumping on seats and runnng up and down the Isle?

[Matt]

Yeah, what an annoying moron. Most people are annoying, why do they have to thank other people? WHo make them feel special, just accept the award and get the hell off the stage. Most of the speeches were awkward; I liked the old guy with heart transplant though. Most old people say less and mean more.

I think in the make up award category, there was a guy and a girl...the guy talked for literaly 5 minutes, then as he finished and the girl began to speak, they cut off her mic and started the music.

That being said, I liked Reese's speech. I thought it was really heart felt and sincere. I don't think she expected to beat Felicity Huffman (that was suprising) and was caught a bit off guard so she ranted. I liked Clooney's speech as well.

LOL, it's only buffoonery when we do it. When anyone else does it, it's being ecstatic or eccentric. :p

[wolfgang]

I was glad Three-Six Mafia won because they deserved it but none the less they made fools of themselves, but then again rappers aren't known for having class.They're musicians who just won top honors in the film industry. I imagine that would incite a reaction.

Besides, that one award probably moved half another quarter million albums for them. I'd be excited too.

I would like to say, It's hard out there for a pimp, sucks ASS

disagree again:)
She was pretty...

[Darthphere]

The reason it won IMO, wasnt ebcause it was the best song ever but unlike the other ones had a large role in the movie. The other songs were just music playing over scenes. This song was a scene all together. I really wish 3-6 wold sang a piece of Whoop that trick, but im sure Oscar said no.

[Super_Ludacris]

I like how everyone is assuming I'm talking about there reactions, when I was talking about there appearances, god... I know there from the "streets" but is it so hard to look nice once and a while without the bling? Heh I had no problem with there acceptance speech.

[Super_Ludacris]

Man stfu who are you David Stern? They can wear what they want when they perform, all they was wearing was hoodies, T-Shirts and Jeans they werent even that bling. "Is it so hard to look nice?" Yo who the **** dug Mr Rogers corpse out of his grave and put him on a computer? lol. Look at it like this there performers and they regular attire is there stage attire. Besides having grills and chains are part of the Hip Hop South culture, you couldnt exactly come on there and do a song from Hustle and Flow wearing no small jewellery. Let them do what they want

lol@ criticising them when we've seen women dress in nothing but swans and go to the Oscars (Bjork). Dennis Rodman came the to the ****ing Oscars once and you wanna talk about apperance once and a white guy (Mike Eizondo) in a tux and basketball jersey to accept an Oscar (2003). Its a moot point

[Super_Ludacris]

You know what sorry if that last post sounded harsh but c'mon do you know how stupid it is to criticise them for wearing jewellery when there doing a song about pimps? Its like saying "Damn Reneee and Cathrene showed a little too much leg when doing the Charbaret from Chicago" lol come on man

[Movies205]

That's what class is all about, if you're going to an event where that's the standard then you should dress that way, it's not like I'm saying people should dress like this all the time but the oscars is a very formal event, then that's what they should wear. But I could definately see the opposite being said and being true if someone showed up in a tux at a rap event or something, they'd be consider stuffy and stuck up.

[KenK]

I think someone on another board said the group did wear tuxes for the red carpet and whatnot, but changed for their performance.

[Movies205]

Ah I thought of that but I'm not going lie, my own stereotypical biases ruled that out, I apologize.
