Oscar Night Discussion Thread

[TJ Wells]

Discuss the current happenings of the Oscars as they happen here!

[Andy]

I only care about if Keira wins or not.

[TJ Wells]

I only care about if Keira wins or not.
Then I wouldn't watch.

[nfggc10]

I only care about if Keira wins or not.
yeah that's about the extent of my interest as well. i never watch award shows anymore...they're all a joke anyway.

[Andy]

Then I wouldn't watch.
Im not going to either. I will be sleeping.

[hobbes2809]

I just want Crash to win best picture, but I wont be watching, work tonight

edit: I'll admit I watched P&P just for kiera

So, I'm watching E!, and why is Shanna wearing a robe?
Is she really that lazy?

[kirbs84]

I still can't get over the fact that Ludacris was in TWO Oscar nominated films

He has to be the worst artist out in the Hip Hop world.

[aminorthreat55]

Don't know, don't care. I'll probably go out and buy two Hitchcock movies and watch those instead.

[itsallcalypso]

He has to be the worst artist out in the Hip Hop world.
You really think he's the worst? Come on there are so many worse rappers out there. Mike Jones, Paul Wall, every Houston rapper, Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, all crunk rappers, D4L, Dem Franchize Boyz, the list of horrible rappers can go on forever. At least most Ludacris songs are at least funny, plus he's not a bad actor, especially in Crash.

[fluke182]

Crash is closing like a freight train, could pull off the upset!

[itsallcalypso]

Crash is the only movie that has a chance against Brokeback, but it's most likely not gonna happen.

Just that song with Austin Powers really ruined it for me.

[itsallcalypso]

Just that song with Austin Powers really ruined it for me.
ha yeah that was a pretty awful song.

[aheroinmyeyes]

I'm really excited for the Oscars tonight. This is probably the most exciting year for me, as far as the Oscars go. I've got my little ballot all printed out with my choices highlighted. I'm ready to cheer my nominees on. Yes, I'm aware of how lame I am. No, I don't care.

[TJ Wells]

I just saw Capote, and I have to say...I think it's better than Crash...barely, but it is.

[emoishardcore]

He has to be the worst artist out in the Hip Hop world.

can i just say i enjoy mos def making the bridge between good acting and music. and the occasional snoop dog two second line in movies.....all in all i think crash was not as good as it is being told....and i cant see how matt dillon could win best supporting actor.

[Brownpants06]

Crash is the only movie that has a chance against Brokeback, but it's most likely not gonna happen.
That movie is really overrated. The only reason it is so hyped up is because its the first movie to feature such a thing. Kind of difficult to explain but everyone would think of cowboys as badasses, and in this movie they are gay. It just hasent been done before.

Anyway, the point is, Brokeback won't win anything more than 300 jokes from Stewart. Crash is a superior film.

Personally, I think that Crash is overhyped just as much as Brokeback Mountain. Both are great movies, but people are blowing them way out of proportion.

[emoishardcore]

ill agree with both of those statements. it's like lets make either a racially, sexually, or transgender movie to shock people and win an award year

[TJ Wells]

After seeing Capote, I really think that's what deserves Best Picture.

[Darren McLeod]

yeah, the more i think about Crash, the less I feel it deserves to win. It was entertaining, but at the same time came across so heavy-handed and unbelievable with some of its racial themes that it got a bit annoying.

i really want to see capote.

brokeback was a good film regardless of the fact that it is the first blockbuster "gay film" out.

[dashboard1190]

I'm excited because this is one of the first years i've actually tried to see a lot of the movies nominated.

[JunkBondTrader]

cmon i loved jake gyllenhaal. i love giamatii as wel, and i loved dillon. hard category.

clooney is gonna win though, i hated willima hurt.

[I am all talk]

bill oreilly should eat his words now about clooney

[Nick Lopez]

What the hell is Ben Stiller doing?

[seconds]

This is blowing Speilberg's mind.
No it's not.

[Dirty Ernie]

nicole kidman looked good

[kirbs84]

Dolly Parton is giving Cher a run for her money....

[I am all talk]

I'd bone dolly parton

[slickwataris]

Damn Wallace and Gromit

[JunkBondTrader]

Damn Wallace and Gromit
i guessed, i thought Howls Moving Castle might take it, but that would have been somewhat of an upset. I know for sure the Corpse Bride wasnt going to get it, that movie sucked honestly.

[dashboard1190]

I liked Dolly Parton's performance.

This look back at old movie stars and such I could have done without. And is the woman who introduced this segment still alive, or was she some kind of robot who spit out the wrong words?

[LPMagic]

Who was that old lady that introduced this skit? She looked like the woman from The Notebook, same one? By the way, Rachel McAdams looked hot as usual tonight. :wow:

- Jeff

She could look hot in pretty much anything I think.

Double true.

[JunkBondTrader]

the song from crash is so fucking good. i love this song.

[LPMagic]

the song from crash is so fucking good. i love this song.
There's a good Stereophonics song on that soundtrack, as well.

- Jeff

[somethingyellow]

i really hope either joaquin phoenix or reese witherspoon win best actor or actress for walk the line. Hopefully both

[itsjdiggity]

sweet, they were just playing the song from Speed

[DroppedUrPocket]

Sam Jackson

[DroppedUrPocket]

Nothing else matters. Sam made an appearence.

[seconds]

Snakes On A Plane Motha' Fucka'

[DroppedUrPocket]

Snakes.

[Shatter590]

miyazaki deserves one. Wallace and grommit were old 10 years ago

::goes to window:: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!"

[DroppedUrPocket]

Mmm salma hayek.

[fluke182]

Discuss the current happenings of the Oscars as they happen here!
Told ya Rachel Weisz would win! Had to come in and tell you that.

[JunkBondTrader]

george clooney has been name dropped 4 times so far haha, and hes won an oscar.

[DroppedUrPocket]

They just showed Chris Penn on the rememberance filmreel. :(

[itsjdiggity]

it's hard out here for a pimp

"Martin Scorsese Zero Oscars, Three 6 Mafia One Oscar"

"Martin Scorsese Zero Oscars, Three 6 Mafia One Oscar"

i'm enjoying Jon Stewart quite a bit.

Did anyone understand Three 6 Mafia's acceptance speech?

Their grillz are too big for their mouf.

Nope, I didn't.

But some of these speaches are a little sad.

[dashboard1190]

Now i really need to see Capote.

[itsjdiggity]

nooooooooooooooo, terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrence

[seconds]

Now i really need to see Capote.
same, it looked good, but now i need to see it.

[JacksColdSweat]

Jon Stewart is doing an awesome job.

[fedhed7]

Whoa.... did Phillip Seymore Hoffman just win? No way in hell did I think he'd win.

[dashboard1190]

nooooooooooooooo, terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrence

is hustle & flow good? I mean obviously it's good if it's apart of the Oscar's but is it really good?

[JunkBondTrader]

yea i knew phillip would get it, and he deserved it.....though my favorite was jaoquin pheonix, i definately thought hoffman was the best performance. and damn i loved heath ledger too. and terrence howard. i never saw good night and good luck but yea it was such a loaded category, all of the nominees were fucking awesome.

[JunkBondTrader]

Whoa.... did Phillip Seymore Hoffman just win? No way in hell did I think he'd win.
im hoping you are being sarcastic........hoffman has won 4 major awards for his role in capote including gloden globe, oscar, and screen actors guild.......you shouldnt be surprised he won.

[JunkBondTrader]

i am really hoping Brokeback Mountain wins Best Picture.......although Walk The LIne was my favorite....i think its kind of bs it wasnt nominated. dayum.

[JunkBondTrader]

i knew memoirs of a geisha would sweep all of the art categories.

[itsjdiggity]

is hustle & flow good? I mean obviously it's good if it's apart of the Oscar's but is it really good?

haha...i haven't seen it

i just loved him in big momma's house/best man/four brothers

i still can't believe he only made 12K for Hustle and Flow and 9K for Crash

[JunkBondTrader]

if reese witherspoon doesnt win i will be so fucking pissed.

[itsjdiggity]

yes! reese!

[JunkBondTrader]

thank you fucking god.

[somethingyellow]

damn i wanted joaquin phoenix to win :\ But im happy reese won :D

[dashboard1190]

captoe & walk the line & (whichever wins best picture, i've already seen crash & munich).

movies i need to see ASAP.

[itsjdiggity]

i hate how they play music during the acceptance speeches

[fedhed7]

she didn't shut upp

[JunkBondTrader]

yea reese witherspoon fucking pwned in walk the line.

[somethingyellow]

i would have liked to seen munich win

[dashboard1190]

i would have liked to seen munich win

me too.

is this guy wearing jeans? and his bow tie is crooked.

i think he just woke up from a long nap.

[itsjdiggity]

crash! fuck the cowboys

[fedhed7]

Oh shit. Crash won.

[dashboard1190]

Woooh.

Go Crash.

It looked like Jack Nicholson was about to say "Just kidding, it's Brokeback Mountain"

[JunkBondTrader]

crash wow.....i love it one of my favorite movies, but brokeback mountain was better.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Crash ftw. I love it.

[Brownpants06]

That movie is really overrated. The only reason it is so hyped up is because its the first movie to feature such a thing. Kind of difficult to explain but everyone would think of cowboys as badasses, and in this movie they are gay. It just hasent been done before.

/giggle


chalk up another prediction for me

[fedhed7]

haha losers got played off

[itsjdiggity]

she got pwned by the music

[Brownpants06]

hahahah that was hilarious. it is really getting rediculous how short they get to thank everyone, especially only one person has time to represent 30 people that had part in the film. Kinda feel bad that for some people this is the biggest moment of their life and they get cut off because of some pissed off networks.

[kirbs84]

I like Phillip Seymore Hoffman alot, but I really wanted Joaquin Phoenix to get best actor

[fluke182]

Yay! Crash wins!

[JunkBondTrader]

im sorry but brokeback mountain is far superior to crash. even though i enjoy crash more. there is no denying brokeback mountain is the better film.

[captainmccool]

Yay! Crash wins!


YESSSSSSS CRRAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i feel like my team just won, i saw that movie the day it came out.

Now it's everywhere, bah im so glad.

[JunkBondTrader]

YESSSSSSS CRRAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i feel like my team just won, i saw that movie the day it came out.

Now it's everywhere, bah im so glad.
oooo youre so fucking scene. so did i

[captainmccool]

oooo youre so fucking scene. so did i

why did you make it that? scene? are you kidding?

It just felt good that this movie i've liked from the start actually succeeded
scene? god shut up.

[kirbs84]

im sorry but brokeback mountain is far superior to crash. even though i enjoy crash more. there is no denying brokeback mountain is the better film.

apparently the academy doesn't agree

[niveK]

i predicted 19/24

[kirbs84]

i predicted 19/24

wow, i'm impressed

[aheroinmyeyes]

I really liked both Brokeback and Crash, but I ended up wanting Crash to win just because Brokeback was winning everything. I never really thought it was going to happen though, that was awesome. It reminded me of when Avenue Q won the tony, no one ever thought it was really going to happen!

I really wanted Felicity Huffman, Amy Adams, and Murderball all to win in their categories, though. Oh well, you can't pick them all.

[Darren McLeod]

I'm shocked that Crash won. It was really good and entertaining, yet it still didn't feel like "Best Picture" quality to me, probably because of how heavy-hitting and dumbed-down some of the racial themes came in.

[Darren McLeod]

Oh yeah, and best part of the awards was Clooney. The man stole the show somehow.

[JunkBondTrader]

Oh yeah, and best part of the awards was Clooney. The man stole the show somehow.
aint that the truth, he won an award, presented, and he was name dropped 4 times including a name drop by three six mafia.

[mouood]

Oh yeah, and best part of the awards was Clooney. The man stole the show somehow.

Clooney's the man. I have completely forgiven him for Batman and Robin.

[TJ Wells]

i am seriously walking on air right now

[niveK]

Clooney's the man. I have completely forgiven him for Batman and Robin.

I hated george clooney for most of his career. It only took O Brother, Where Art Thou? to make me forgive him for all crimes on film and television

[Darren McLeod]

like i mentioned in the thread on the news page, i really enjoyed jon stewart's joke about walk the line being Ray with white people.

[TJ Wells]

like i mentioned in the thread on the news page, i really enjoyed jon stewart's joke about walk the line being Ray with white people.
well...its true.

[mouood]

like i mentioned in the thread on the news page, i really enjoyed jon stewart's joke about walk the line being Ray with white people.

I liked the Bjork joke the best. I think he did a good job. The audience didn't seem to like him that much though.

[Darren McLeod]

I liked the Bjork joke the best. I think he did a good job. The audience didn't seem to like him that much though.
the audience was terrible.

[Brownpants06]

I liked the Bjork joke the best. I think he did a good job. The audience didn't seem to like him that much though.

most of the audience is over 40. no sense of humour. at all.


anyway, the ray with white people was the best joke of the night, i laughed so hard.

[wasteoftaste]

finally a good movies won best picture...crash.

[Andy]

Keira :(

[JunkBondTrader]

finally a good movies won best picture...crash.
Brokeback Mountain was better.....sorry.

[dashboard1190]

i liked the way they introduced each category..the gray theme. did anyone else like it?

did anybody catch the will farrell mistake?

[radiofriendly]

Brokeback Mountain was better.....sorry.

Crash:

better acting
superior ensemble
incredible supporting cast
better/tolerable music
better editing
better camerawork
arguably better directing

Brokeback Mountain was good, no, incredible!, but nowhere near the hype.

[JunkBondTrader]

Crash:

better acting
superior ensemble
incredible supporting cast
better/tolerable music
better editing
better camerawork
arguably better directing

Brokeback Mountain was good, no, incredible!, but nowhere near the hype.

better acting.....are you fuckign kidding me Gyllenhaal, Ledger, and Williams outacted everyone in Crash.

better ensemble........see above but add hathoway.

better music goes to Brokeback Mountain because the score was fucking incredible.......and thats why the won. Though "In The Deep" is a great song.

Editing goes to Crash.

BBM>Crash in the camerawork department

Ang Lee> Paul Haggis............................. ...so you think Paul Haggis was robbed in the directing category. haha alright, he shouldnt have even been nominated.

[TexasRock889]

I think John Stewart's best bit was when he said, "Next, a tribute to montauges". But yeah. BBM was a hype machine that was taken down by Crash. Though Good Night and Good Luck was good as well.

[JunkBondTrader]

the funniest part of the whole night was that thing about Judi Dench...

"Judi Dench took out my eye in a barfight...."
