yellowlightman Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Someone watched the Oscars? 377046[/snapback] My sentiments exactly. But hey, at least Syriana won something.
Mr March Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I'm surprised Crash took Best Picture. I figured for sure the Academy was going to shower Brokeback Mountain with the award. Course, it wouldn't be an Academy Awards show if it didn't dissappoint me off more than it pleased me. Gyllenhaal was robbed and poor Joaquin is once again passed over. Burton should have won with Corpse Bride and as much as I disliked Narnia, it should have beat King Kong for visual effects. All in all, this year's Academy Awards was almost everything I've come to expect
Mr March Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Someone watched the Oscars? 377046[/snapback] Nobody "watches" the Oscars! Just check the results on the IMDB and avoid all the self-congratulatory butt-kissing for 2+ hours
memnon Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Hmmm we haven't seen any of these movies. I guess I'm getting old.
Rocket Punch Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Someone watched the Oscars? 377046[/snapback] John Stewart was great. I hope he hosts next year! The campaign commercial skits were hilarious! Jack Nicholson is the man. That was the best Best Picture presentation ever! I couldn't stop cracking up. I can't help but think he was stoned or drunk or something! And George Clooney's acceptance speech was awesome. "Proud to be out of touch." Take THAT Middle-America!

jenius Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I second the George Clooney speech being great. Humorously adding his "world's sexiest man 1997" title in there was great. He actually seems to have a sense of humor similar to Stewart's. I will also agree that Stewart did a great job. I also liked the opening spoof where all the past hosts refused to consider doing the job again. I really only watched bits and pieces but the parts I caught were done well. Man, I'd be thrilled if they'd get rid of the crappy song performances next year.
Twoducks Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Someone watched the Oscars? 377046[/snapback] Didn't even remember.
Gaijin Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I honestly haven't seen one film that was nominated this year (though I admit wanting to see Walk The Line).
the white drew carey Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 And once again, Saving Private Ryan was robbed. We had the Oscars on. The wife did homework while I worked on a drawing. Clooney's speach was funny, and when Jon Stewart kept cracking up over the Original Song Award... that was classic. I guess I liked this year's Oscars because, moreso than usual, they awarded talent. Weisz' win for The Constant Gardener, Clooney in Syriana, etc. We were disappointed that Wallace and Gromet won out over Corpse Bride. W&G are fun, don't get me wrong, but for stop-motion animation, Corpse Bride was done much, much more skillfully.
Duke Togo Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 This was one of those years that we didn't have one really overpowering film to beat us all into submission, forcing us to worship at its altar. This was one of those years were we will not remember who won what (or care, for that matter). The only thing that really stuck out to me was the near shut out of Episode III in the technical awards. I'm not 100% sure on the statement that was being made by this, but it certainly wasn't because it didn't deserve nominations.
Zor Primus Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Hollywood sucks and has for a while...none of the movies that were listed mattered to me. I saw about, 0% of them.
Rocket Punch Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Hollywood sucks and has for a while...none of the movies that were listed mattered to me. I saw about, 0% of them. 377204[/snapback] Wow. That's a shame. Too bad for you.

EW lambasted the Academy for blovking out SWIII in the techinical categories and only being nominated for best make up. WTF, mate? Oh well.
Duke Togo Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Its quite amazing, in my mind, that the prequels didn't sweep the technical categories in the years they were released. No matter what one may think of them, there is no denying what ILM did with those films.
bsu legato Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Don't studios have to submit their films to the academy in order for them to be considered for nomination? Its possible that Lucas just figured "Ah, screw it."

Its possible that Lucas just figured "Ah, screw it." 377272[/snapback] No, the Academy dropped the big curtain on Star Wars. The thing is, the work is there, its not like the Academy can nullify that. You don't need a statue or an "Oscar" title before your work for it to be good (or, the best). And let's be honest, here, everyone has seen some of the absolutely screwy decisions the Academy has made over the years. I'm still trying to figure out how Return of the King won Best Picture, Director, etc, considering the overlong mess that it is. The Two Towers was the best effort of the trilogy.
JKeats Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I stopped paying attention to the Oscars after Titanic won. Freakin' retards.
Graham Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Damn, no Oscars for Serenity or Land of the Dead, the only 2 good films of last year IMO. Graham
JsARCLIGHT Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 The people's choice awards is Hollywood's market telling them what they liked... the Oscars are Hollywood telling their market "what they should have liked" for four hours.
Zentrandude Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Repeat after me. There is no such thing as oscars, uwe boll, aliens resurrection, avp, and doom3 movie.
Beltane70 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I only watched the awards up until they did best animatd film. Much to my disappointment, Howl's Moving Castle didn't win.

Much to my disappointment, Howl's Moving Castle didn't win. 377424[/snapback] It wasn't expected it to. The craft of clay animation, especially with the long running quality and success of the Wallace & Gromit series, is tough to beat.

I remember one that I watched as a kid. I can't remember the title but it had Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, & Huckleberry Finn and they travelled in time (or was it other worlds?) in an elevator! Anybody know what I'm talking about? No Bill & Ted jokes, please! I've got to try some of that Stinking Bishop cheese from W&G!
Mr March Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Repeat after me. There is no such thing as oscars, uwe boll, aliens resurrection, avp, and doom3 movie. 377402[/snapback] LOL I like it!
1st Border Red Devil Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I'm actually glad Crash won. My roommate and I watched it a few months back and we were both surprised. Neither of us thought it was gonna be worth a damn, thinking it was going to be a 2-hour rant on 'Whitey sucks and racism is all their fault' that typically passes for an 'enlightened look at racism' in movies.
Jemstone Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Repeat after me. There is no such thing as oscars, uwe boll, alien 3, alien resurrection, avp, and doom3 movie. 377402[/snapback] Fixed.
