And The Winner Is.....

[Jason Tate]

This is the official academy awards discussion thread.

[blinkdude127]

all right!

[FallingOut]

Cinderella Man and Russell Crowe were robbed! Best movie of the year. How could Crowe not be at least nominated??? Ridiculous.

[bankrom]

i couldn't even pretend to care this year.

[blink182baboon]

Best haha:

Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song)
"IT'S HARD OUT HERE FOR A PIMP" FROM HUSTLE & FLOW
Music and Lyric by Jordan Houston, Cedric Coleman and Paul Beauregard

Those my ******.

[unwritten]

Boring. Crash and Walk the Line are the best movies of the year. End of show.

[elvis2x]

Fuck Brokeback Mountain. I'm praying that it loses tonight. Overrated piece of crap. I'm sick of hearing Brokeback this, Brockeback Mountain that.

[alkaholickpunk]

THREE 6 MAFIA!!!! going down in history baby!!!

[Blake Solomon]

i am so happy and amazed that the song from hustle and flow won. Me and my friend could not believe our eyes, it was so tight to see. i think its a huge step forward that a rap song will win. Maybe the academy is recognizing that lots of different people enjoy and make films. It was a really cool, almost surreal moment to see.


P.S. the dancers were INTERESTING.

[alifetmeaway]

witherspoon is hot

[cora_ann]

Aww, Jennifer Garner almost ate shit. That would have been sad...isn't she pregnant?

[NFG4ever]

What a boring award show

[unwritten]

What a boring award show

But aren't they all?

[robdobi]

good for hoffman, i didn't see capote but everything he does rules.

"ARE THEY TIGHT?"

[JTrain12]

im glad to see 36 win!!!...for a second i thought i was watchin the mtv music awards and not the oscars...holla!

[Brett9]

Where else can you get paid ridiculous amounts of money to do a job that requires very little actual talent, and then attend 46 awards shows throughout the year honoring you for your "hard work"? These people are so out of touch with reality, it's scary. Gotta love Hollywood!:p

[Jared Kaufman]

CRASH!

Holy crap -- I love this movie; never thought it would've won. Thank god!

[Tony]

brokeback was robbed. fuck crash.

[JTrain12]

CRASH WINS!!! i called it on opening night, haha...just like i picked the NCAA Bracket last year, which i will win again, hahah

[Jared Kaufman]

brokeback was robbed. fuck crash.
out.of.your.mind.

[xHittheWallx]

crash was the best of the finalists i saw, the only one i didnt see was capote but i want to.

[ThexQuietxCull]

wow, crash came through. i thought it was the year of brokeback, but its a great surprise. crash was phenominal

[yanggoh]

three six mafia winning made my night

[Peter1987]

fuck awards shows

[Tony]

out.of.your.mind.
crash is a great film. overrated, but great. but in my mind, brokeback is better. by far.

[djnicca]

a rap song won already. eminem for 'lose yourself' from 8 mile. regardless, good point.

[ethicka]

FUCK CRASH! FUCK THAT SHIT!

That was the most contrived piece of junk ever. it was all brokeback. at least capote! goddammit!

[Paul Tao]

Where else can you get paid ridiculous amounts of money to do a job that requires very little actual talent, and then attend 46 awards shows throughout the year honoring you for your "hard work"? These people are so out of touch with reality, it's scary. Gotta love Hollywood!:p
no talent? i'd love to see you just try and make a good film. stfu.

[LPMagic]

"Crash" was the best movie of 2005? It was the only one of the five finalists that I saw, but I'd really like to see the other four, especially "Capote".

- Jeff

[Jared Kaufman]

FUCK CRASH! FUCK THAT SHIT!

That was the most contrived piece of junk ever. it was all brokeback. at least capote! goddammit!
How exactly was Crash contrived?

[ThexQuietxCull]

FUCK CRASH! FUCK THAT SHIT!

That was the most contrived piece of junk ever. it was all brokeback. at least capote! goddammit!

brokeback and capote were as equally good as crash was. any of those deserved to win

[elvis2x]

CRASH WON!!!! Completely unexpected. Exactly who I wanted to win.

[popdisaster00]

So fucking glad Crash won. that is awesome. they deserved it.

[minusthejosh]

i'm so glad crash won and not brokeback mountain, definitely made up for watching that piece of shit they call an awards show. big ups to phillip seymore hoffman though, deserved it the most by far.

[fluke182]

That was fantastic, very happy about Crash. I read it was really closing on Brokeback, but I was still shocked to see it win. Only one nominated I didn't see was Capote, Crash was my favorite and Munich was my second favorite. Still shocking to see Brokeback lose, I wonder if it was a bias that led to it's demise?

[radio napalm]

i'm sooooo glad phillip seymour hoffman won. capote was such a great film and his performance was stunning.

[fluke182]

Also, was I the only person that kind of enjoyed the Oscars this year? A lull in the middle, but overall very enjoyable. Good work by Jon Stewart.

[Jared Kaufman]

Munich and Syriana -- which I tend to lump together (due to what I'm about to say) -- bored me out of my mind.

[crayZbuzzard]

It's so obvious how biased the Academy is when Brokeback Mountain gets all this adoration, and The Passion of the Christ last year was basically ignored. It's evidence of Hollywood forcing their agenda down our throats. I'm glad Brokeback didn't win.

[TylerDurden911]

You my friend are an imbecile...

I think it's great that CRASH won, that the very best among "mainstream" american films won, and I congratulate everyone involved. That was a great night for moviemaking!

[ThexQuietxCull]

i'm sooooo glad phillip seymour hoffman won. capote was such a great film and his performance was stunning.

absolutely

[Jason Tate]

I want to see Good Night and Good Luck now, only movie I haven't seen nominated ...

WALLACE AND GROMIT WON!! WOOO... hahaha..

Hoffman was amazing. Hands down best actor .. so fucking good.

[Jared Kaufman]

I just wanted to point out what I bolded.

[Gitch]

Joaquin Phoenix was robbed

[ThexQuietxCull]

Also, was I the only person that kind of enjoyed the Oscars this year? A lull in the middle, but overall very enjoyable. Good work by Jon Stewart.

i also enjoyed the oscars this year. stewart did a great job in my opinion

[Jared Kaufman]

Good Night bored me too -- I was expecting a lot more (same with Syriana and Munich as I mentioned)

[fluke182]

Munich and Syriana -- which I tend to lump together (due to what I'm about to say) -- bored me out of my mind.
That's a shame. Munich was such a taut thriller, it was ridiculous. I was incredibly engaged for the whole movie, felt short to me. That's rather odd. I thought it was a shame Janusz Kaminski wasn't nominated though. It's a damn shame, his DP work for Munich was superb. You should watch Good Night, and Good Luck though if you found Munich boring. It makes Munich look like...something that is incredibly not boring!

[minusthejosh]

Crash > Brokeback Mountain

[Trainsaw]

that's awesome crash won.

[fluke182]

Fuck Wallace and Gromit. Howl's Moving Castle was BY FAR the best animated movie this year. That was weak.

[Jason Tate]

"Passion" was nominated for 3 awards, and wasn't even that good of a movie. If you think Crash is any less controversial then Brokeback, it just shows how out of touch with reality YOU are.

[lightcollapse]

syriana should have been nominated, but crash really deserved it.

GO CRASH

i was amazed at the 36 mafia. what the fuck is wrong with the academy? i mean i like rap, but that was just a piece of shit. did you see them accept the award? they could barely talk. they song was a piece of generic shit, and it was really just a joke and publicity stunt.

syriana and cinderella man should have DEFINITELY been nominated. but crash was the best movie of the year.

[ThexQuietxCull]

That's a shame. Munich was such a taut thriller, it was ridiculous. I was incredibly engaged for the whole movie, felt short to me. That's rather odd.

i think we have a similar taste for movies..... i totally agree with what you say about Munich. i thought it was spectacular.

[Jason Tate]

i also enjoyed the oscars this year. stewart did a great job in my opinion
He's amazing.

[Jason Tate]

Fuck Wallace and Gromit. Howl's Moving Castle was BY FAR the best animated movie this year. That was weak.
Not true.

[gobblox is...]

anyone know what tom hanks was huffing about/f-bombing to the side stages when he came out? they cut away pretty quick.

[Jason Tate]

Good Night bored me too -- I was expecting a lot more (same with Syriana and Munich as I mentioned)
Well ... you did think TBS was good. :)

[Jared Kaufman]

i think we have a similar taste for movies..... i totally agree with what you say about Munich. i thought it was spectacular.
I loved the way it was shot, the color, angles, etc -- same with Good Night -- just something about it (those films) made me yawn (with the exception of a few parts) and wonder when it was going to end.

[fluke182]

i think we have a similar taste for movies..... i totally agree with what you say about Munich. i thought it was spectacular.
It's criminally underrated in my opinion. A lot of critics didn't like it and I have no idea why. I thought it was a huge step in the right direction for Spielberg.

[Jason Tate]

[Gitch]

[Chemical Love]

I liked Walk The Line a lot more than Crash. I wish WTL won the Oscar for Best Motion Picture.

[Jared Kaufman]

Well ... you did think TBS was good. :)
Hahaha. You friggin' broken record -- you need new material!

[fluke182]

Not true.
I'm sure it was decent, I must be honest I didn't see it. It upsets me though, Howl's was so brilliant. Did you see it? Hiyao Miyazaki is to traditional animation as Pixar is to computer generated animation.

[Jason Tate]

I loved the way it was shot, the color, angles, etc -- same with Good Night -- just something about it (those films) made me yawn (with the exception of a few parts) and wonder when it was going to end.
Then maybe you should get back to watching Cartoons.

I find it hillarious that an actress who has done Legally Blonde 1 AND 2 - is now an academy award winner. Haha, you think she will ever do a serious role again? Come on, she's hot as hell - but she plays the same character in everything I've ever seen her in...

[Gitch]

I liked Walk The Line a lot more than Crash. I wish WTL won the Oscar for Best Motion Picture.

I agree and I also liked crash alot too. I just thought Walk The Line was better

[FallingOut]

Crash...best picture??!??? No way. No way... Great movie....not best picture quality whatsoever. Brokeback was a much better movie.

[Jason Tate]

Hahaha. You friggin' broken record -- you need new material!
Man, you're calling me repetitive? Hahaha.. turn the CD back on! Ohhhhhhhhhh.....

[fluke182]

Look at Tom Hanks. He won twice and all he originally did was comedies and Bosom Buddies.

right, a great step. spielberg is exec producer for transformers, i cant wait haha

[Lerok22]

Worst best picture in recent memory. An exercise in mediocrity.

[Jason Tate]

You call legally blonde a comedy - I call it an advocate for teenage suicide!

[FallingOut]

Syriana is by far the worst movie ive seen in the past few years. Horrific. How do they expect you to understand what is going on?

[Jason Tate]

Worst best picture in recent memory. An exercise in mediocrity.
You need to back statements like that up ...

[Paul Tao]

It's so obvious how biased the Academy is when Brokeback Mountain gets all this adoration, and The Passion of the Christ last year was basically ignored. It's evidence of Hollywood forcing their agenda down our throats. I'm glad Brokeback didn't win.
That's because Passion of the Christ wasn't an amazing movie. Good, yes. Possibly great. But not amazing and not deserving of an Oscar. Subject aside, the film itself just wasn't as good.

[Jason Tate]

right, a great step. spielberg is exec producer for transformers, i cant wait haha
And Micheal Bay is directing ...

[thatsignant]

i think his hair is like that from da vinci code

[Jared Kaufman]

Haha. I was thinking the same thing. I actually don't find her attractive at all, but I loved her performance in Walk The Line and she actually came off as "cute" to me (more so her personality in the film than anything).

[crayZbuzzard]

"Passion" was nominated for 3 awards, and wasn't even that good of a movie. If you think Crash is any less controversial then Brokeback, it just shows how out of touch with reality YOU are.


The Passion of the Christ was nominated for Best Achievement in Cinematography, Best Achievement in Makeup, and Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score. Big deal. You're telling me Jim Caviezel didn't deserve any recognition for his part. Or Mel Gibson for his vision for that matter? And it was a good movie. Millions of Americans flocked to the theaters, embracing and connecting with it. It was record breaking.

[ThexQuietxCull]

And Micheal Bay is directing ...

a good thing?

[goodbye mylover]

I'd like to thank The Academy...


Is.

[NameTaken69]

Crash > Brokeback Mountain
true statement

[lightcollapse]

Syriana is by far the worst movie ive seen in the past few years. Horrific. How do they expect you to understand what is going on?

are you fucking RETARDED? syriana was brilliant. maybe you had to have an iq bigger than your shoe size to understand it.

[ThexQuietxCull]

are you fucking RETARDED? syriana was brilliant. maybe you had to have an iq bigger than your shoe size to understand it.

syriana was great as well.

[PaintTheTarget]

i just love the fact that the same group that made "slob on my knob" just won an oscar

[jimboj917]

Syriana is by far the worst movie ive seen in the past few years. Horrific. How do they expect you to understand what is going on?


syriana really didn't seem very confusing to me. just because a movie requires a little bit of thought doesn't make it bad.

I don't think there's a "Vision" Oscar, but you can look that up for me and prove me wrong if you want. And I thought Jim was good, not great. Watching Hoffman do Capote was AMAZING and floored me, his acting made a decent movie great. With Passion; the overuse of blood and the same thing I've seen in about 900 Jesus movies just didn't do anything for me .. I thought it was good, but not great. Not Oscar worthy, so I agree with the committee (not some backlot liberal consipiracy group - you crazy kid) in that regard.

[Jason Tate]

a good thing?
Kinda up in the air .. we'll get lots of explosions!

[ThexQuietxCull]

yes, alexander was pretty bad. and stewart was great

[xbrokendownx]

im glad reese won, since thats pretty much one of the only movies i saw that was nominated for anything big. i thought she was awesome, and i think shes super cute

[niveK]

Syriana is by far the worst movie ive seen in the past few years. Horrific. How do they expect you to understand what is going on?

I didnt have much of a problem, I hate it when hollywood dumbs down a movie so the auidence can understand it.

I'm not trying to say there's any kind of liberal conspiracy going on. I'm just saying that the Academy's opinion of a good movie and the majority of America's opinion of a good movie are drastically different. I just think it is Hollywood giving themselves awards. It is ridiculous. But that's another issue all together. The state of American cinema is embarrassing. They couldn't spit out a good movie if their lives depended on it.

I liked it best when Jon Stewart referred to Walk The Line as "Ray with White People"

[Gitch]

*crickets*


that wasn't an attempt at a joke. I was actually being serious. I haven't read about or seen any previews for any movies that could hold a candle to crash capote, walk the line, etc.

[lightcollapse]

[Jared Kaufman]

Inside Man looks great -- not sure about Oscar worthy, but entertaining nonetheless.

[Gitch]

thats funny, i went to see syriana last week, and there were excellent previews.

like?

[resUrectMe617]

i'm happy for reese. i haven't seen the movie so i can't really say anything about her performance, but as a fan of her previous work, and the fact that she is young and has a lot of potential to follow the footsteps of many other great actresses (sally field, meryl streep)... i am happy for her. i'm also proud that keira was nominated for the category..although i don't think the performance was really oscar worthy, to be nominated at such a young young age (20) is really a great sign of youthful talent, so who knows where she'll be 10 years from now? winning an oscar like reese?

i don't agree with crash winning best picture. that movie i have seen, and while i thought the issues it discussed are significant, i didn't find anything to really substantiate all of the hype. the topic was worthy, but the plot nor the acting (though a star studded cast) really jumped out at me and said "best picture of the year".

i love tom hanks and jack nicholson. and i love that one guy (forget his name) who won for short animated film i think.. cause he shouted out all his students over at NYU's tisch school of arts. that was cool (cause i'm an nyu student).

[ThexQuietxCull]

im ready for BRICK

[FallToGlory]

I didnt have much of a problem, I hate it when hollywood dumbs down a movie so the auidence can understand it.

agreed.

if you really take film seriously as an art, try to learn a little more about it before viewing it.

wonderful paintings cant be fully appreciated without knowing the artists history, great novels usually dont fully make sense unless you similarly know its histroy, and the same with music - just look at vheissu

[cahrishurr]

Where else can you get paid ridiculous amounts of money to do a job that requires very little actual talent, and then attend 46 awards shows throughout the year honoring you for your "hard work"? These people are so out of touch with reality, it's scary. Gotta love Hollywood!:p


you should be banned from this site for that comment right there

thats the most ignorant statement on ap.net ive seen

acting takes LOADS of talents

[dontfront]

I'm sorry... but I wanna know who Three 6 Mafia tortured to get that award.

[dan.is.empire]

Fuck Brokeback Mountain.

amen!

i'm so happy crash won. reese witherspoon was awesome too. i wish walk the line won more though.

brett. you're a douche bag.

[JunkBondTrader]

....i love all the punk rockers who are anti-brokeback mountain because its HYPED up. you guys are so fucking predictable. I am sure most of you havent seen it. Crash is not nearly as good of a movie. I love crash, its one of my favorite movies, but Brokeback Mountain is better. Walk the Line is also better. Capote as well. Crash should have been nominated, but it shouldnt have won. Sorry.


......a film wins Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score, and has 3 of its 4 main actors nominated for Oscars and it still cant pull Best Picture......alright thats bullshit.

[JunkBondTrader]

i'm so glad crash won and not brokeback mountain, definitely made up for watching that piece of shit they call an awards show. big ups to phillip seymore hoffman though, deserved it the most by far.
how is it a piece of shit award show? explain it to me.......because its an award show, you think you have to hate it? youre ridiculous. give me some reasons why its a POS show. please, enlighten me. Unlike the grammys, the oscars nominate great movies. If you dont like it go and watch the MTV Movie Awards.

[JunkBondTrader]

and this was a great year for cinema.....thats to the kid who is preaching about the Passion of the Christ hahaha, thats a terrible fucking movie. seriously. Its a fucking borefest. You said american cinema cant pull a good movie out of their ass........you obviously did not see any of the movies nominated this year. For example, go and see every movie that had a Oscar nod for best actor, that category was stacked as fuck. All of those movies were great, (excpt i didnt see gn,gl)

[1000shadesofred]

Fuck Brokeback Mountain. I'm praying that it loses tonight. Overrated piece of crap. I'm sick of hearing Brokeback this, Brockeback Mountain that.

jake should have won best supporting actor though... he is one of the best actors out there now

[ThexQuietxCull]

jake should have won best supporting actor though... he is one of the best actors out there now

i agree that jake is a decent actor, but giamatti and clooney both had better roles then he did.

Worst best picture in recent memory. An exercise in mediocrity.
Chicago anyone? Anyone? I thought Crash was spectacular personally.

[fluke182]

Kinda up in the air .. we'll get lots of explosions!
Don't forget an incredible amount of product placement.

[fluke182]

and this was a great year for cinema.....thats to the kid who is preaching about the Passion of the Christ hahaha, thats a terrible fucking movie. seriously. Its a fucking borefest. You said american cinema cant pull a good movie out of their ass........you obviously did not see any of the movies nominated this year. For example, go and see every movie that had a Oscar nod for best actor, that category was stacked as fuck. All of those movies were great, (excpt i didnt see gn,gl)
I actually thought this was one of the weaker years for a while. I don't know why, my top 10 list at the end of the year just wasn't as loaded as years past.

i haven't seen anyone back up a post that says "fuck brokeback"...is this because those of you who are saying this are biased against this because of anti-gay bias but are too afraid to bring that up on a msg board where you know it will fly back in your face. because i certainly havent seen a legitimate reason that comments on the art, or the acting, or the film, or the cinematography, or the story, or the directing, or all the incredible aspects of that film. i did not see Crash, but to me it is hard to believe that there could have been a better movie this year. if you want to say "fuck brokeback," then fucking say it, but back it up with some substance.

[B-rad]

I just think it is Hollywood giving themselves awards.

um...it actually IS Hollywood giving themselves awards. :!

I'm not trying to say there's any kind of liberal conspiracy going on. I'm just saying that the Academy's opinion of a good movie and the majority of America's opinion of a good movie are drastically different. I just think it is Hollywood giving themselves awards. It is ridiculous. But that's another issue all together. The state of American cinema is embarrassing. They couldn't spit out a good movie if their lives depended on it.
Eh. Like the ones that are amazing and you obviously don't watch? If we keep going with this "the movies that sell the most are the best" theory you seem to have .. no wonder you think American cinema sucks.

[Blake Solomon]

I absolutely loved "Good Night and Good Luck". I think it was an amazing film that was true to real life and still very entertaining to watch. I wanted that gentleman to win the award for best actor, but now that Hoffman won, Ill have to see Capote, that was hte only movie i hadnt seen from the best actor category.

[atticusfinch]

Walk the Line, Broken Flowers, Cinderella Man, Syriana and Good Night and Good Luck were my favorite films this year.

See Crash.
I've seen both, and while Crash is one of my favorite films and I have seen it multiple times, because I own it. There is absolutely no denying that Brokeback Mountain is better. I was dissappointed Crash didnt win for Song, because "In The Deep", is much better than "Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp". Brokeback Mountain had an incredible score, one of very few in recent memory that I could hear again and be able to identify with that move, very moving (another notable score of the past few years, and my personal favorite is 21 Grams). Both movies had a great cast, its a rare thing for a movie like Crash to have so many good roles. But I would have to say Gyllenhaal and Ledger out-acted all of them, and YES both are controversial films, and some people on the boards are saying that all you have to do to get an oscar is come up with some uncomfortable off the wall love story, or a movie about homosexuals and youll get an oscar. This of course, is shallow and not true, Im sure that they are all just upset because their favorite movie of the year, Waiting, was not nominated. MOVIES like this that deal with controversial topics (ie, Brokeback Mountain, Crash, TransAmerica, Capote....) are nominated because in most cases only THE BEST people work on films like these. They are the ones that know how to treat films of this nature. And thats why alot of them turn out to be great films that are nominated for Oscars. Its because sometimes controversy can hit close to home with an actor. Its not like any other role. NO ONE would take a role in any one of those movies unless they were passionate about what the movie stood for, because you have to take a movie like that seriously. So go ahead and say wht you want, but that is the main reason movies like that are nominated for oscars, because they are great.

Back on topic. The acting. Heath Ledger could make someone cry without opening his mouth in Brokeback Mountain. The chemistry between the two of them is unheard of (Except for Witherspoon and Pheonix in Walk The Line). I didnt question once that they were in love. Fuck, just the clips they showed at the oscars for the acting nominees should make you sit there if you havent seen it and go "Wow". The speech Jack Twist gives to Ennis (the one they showed for Gyllenhaal as a nominee) is one of the most powerful scenes in cinema this year. So moving, so believable.

One cant sit here and go Fuck Brokeback Mountain and then say YAY CRASH WINNS!! woo woo, because of the topics of the movies. I could honestly see some "punk-rocker" going "yea man fuck racism, Crash opens your eyes man, go Crash" and then turning around and saying "I hate Buttfuck Mountain, fucking ***gots....". Its absolutely ridiculous. I think some of it may have to do with the budget of the film. There is no lying that Crash was on a pretty low budget for a movie with that kind of cast, so Im not sure but i think some peopl might have choosen Crash because they thought they were stickin it to the man, like it was some kind of Independent Hero. Brokeback Mountain was pretty low budget as well.

I am just kind of disgusted with the way some people are coming on here and saying Fuck Brokeback Mountain.....when honestly, Im sure alot of you havent even seen it.

Film Editing goes to Crash, and thats why it won. Though its inferior to Magnolia. Its hard to weave a story with so many different plots and then run them all together, and it came out very nice, and some of the scenes had me gripping my seat (ie, the car fire, and the gun shot). Great stuff.

Directing goes to Ang Lee, and again thats why he won. Beautifully shot. Intimate and a great portrayal of an incredible love story. I like the colors in Brokeback. I like the predominant greenish-blue in Crash. But Brokeback tops out.

Im tired.....but yea, Brokeback Mountain is better. But i love both films. Crucify me if you must.

[Sinister Rouge]

I am glad "Crash" won, but "Good Night Good Luck" is the best film of the year, followed by "Munich"...."Brokeback Mountain" is heavily overrated and I am kinda glad they lost. "Syriana", "The Constant Gardner", "A History of Violence", "Walk The Line", and "Lord of War" were also great films.

[SummerxStars]

um...it actually IS Hollywood giving themselves awards. :!

if by hollywood you mean THREE 6 MAFIA

someone has too much time on their hands

[JunkBondTrader]

someone has too much time on their hands
you think thats alot.......obviously you have never written a decent paper in your life. (you are in college so who knows....im just saying thats not alot at all)

im just sick of people saying stuff and not backing it up.....but if you want me to just sit here and make outrageous claims with no support for why i feel that way then ill go right ahead.

[Rest_Easy]

Crash is definately an awesome movie and deserved best screenplay. Best movie i am on the fence for. It was just such a close call. Munich was spectacular as was Good Night and Good Luck. Based on such real events and the former being even closer to reality just blows my mind when I watch it. Hoffman definately deserved the Oscar and I like that Reese won because she was fantastic in a great film.

[slickwataris]

[Snails]

a south african movie won best foreign film!
woo!

[joejoeslacka]

reese's speech was wonderful and i'm glad she got the award
i'm also happy about wallace & gromit

and i was also wondering about whatever tom hanks was muttering when he came on stage near the end

[niveK]

howl's moving castle owns

I though it was great, but Wallace and Gromitt was better

[tbsunday14]

Haha jon stewart is the WORST HOST EVER.

[boldt_action]

Brokeback is over-rated.

Sue me.

[J_169]

keira knightley is so hot

[johnnybb]

i like how this years nominations were given to mostly up and coming young stars instead of the usual "legends". i mean sure, other young actors have been nominated before, but this was a year i noticed there were plenty. Michelle Williams, Jake, Heath, Reese, Kiera, etc. I think its good because it shows hollywood is giving a chance to those who *could* become legends despite their previous work or lack thereof. thats what im most glad the academy did this year because the young stars really are the future and that means more oscar-worthy roles for those in their teens and twenties.

the only loss i regret is the best supporting actress one. rachel weisz was awesome of couse, but i think michelle williams deserved it because of her role and the way she handled it. her character is one that i cant see repeating in another movie and she seriously pulled it off which was impressive.

[FallToGlory]

a south african movie won best foreign film!
woo!

yea, i cant wait to see it. saw the preview and it looks very good

[Ruggiero2oo8]

i couldn't even pretend to care this year.
