Harry's Annual Live Oscar Coverage 2007!!! Very State of Harry... beware
Hey folks, Harry here - watching E! awaiting Baba Wawa's Annual Oscar special - then - the main show - The 2007 Academy Awards Ceremony. This is the 10th year that I've covered the Oscars in this fashion - and nearly every year we end up tormenting AICN's servers - as this is one of the few places where you get live coverage of the Oscar Telecast.
In addition to me - there's all of you in Talkback, where you can post your feelings - positive and negative to the Oscar Cast - as well as the commentary I provide... and that of your fellow Talkbackers. I've only heard from one nominee today, Guillermo Del Toro - he told me that he's very calm about it all, but that he feels that how well PAN'S LABYRINTH has done at the Box Office, becoming the highest grossing Spanish Language film in U.S. History... Making nearly 30 times as much as his last Spanish Language film, DEVIL'S BACKBONE - has been amazing for him. Of course, I'm rooting like crazy.
Al & Tipper Gore are talking to the red carpet freak from E!. How many of you catch all this insanity? Wow - the actress from BABEL is stunning. Here we go...
The Glam-a-strator... LOL the E! wench just spazzed over Jennifer Lopez. Meanwhile I'm going crazy over Rinko from BABEL - she's stunning and her performance was amazing.
-------------------
btw - constant coverage doesn't begin till the formal OSCAR BROADCAST - Till then, I'll Occassionally be dropping in.
-------------------
Eddie Murphy on Baba wules.
_______________________
OSCAR TELECAST 2007
This opening just isn't doing it for me. They've got cameras in places they've never had them before? BATHROOMS?
-----------------------
Just had the first server hiccup... could be a long night. -- Eddie Murphy needs to do Zombie Buckwheat in an Older Korean War era Little Rascals in War Horror film.
YIPPEE - Guillermo -- Cuaron's exchange rate answer was friggin awesome. Oooooh Winslet! She's one of the great fantasies of cool people like me.
--------------
Oscar Opening -- I like this Nominee opening. How has Peter O'toole never won. GO FORREST!!! Lol Eddie ... "it'd be great if it were a feature" - lol... PAN'S LABYRINTH guy whistling is awesome... and they're holding that - ...
LOTS OF LIGHTS - Nominees standing is a very cool idea.
I hate Ellen - I just want to get that out of the way, but let's see how she does. She's very jittery - more like my nightmare, Ellen. She's got the Velvet version of Barack Obama fashion going. The Too many British thing is the first joke that rocked. I like that there wasn't some sort of Billy Crystal opening song thing... Ok - I'm starting to like her. Oh no. I feel like I'm betraying my natural instinctual hatred for her. Al Gore joke was awesome. OH NO - She's got a tambourine.... that's kinda lame.
Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman come out to present ART DIRECTION...
The Nominees - PIRATES, PAN'S, DREAMGIRLS, THE GOOD SHEPARD, THE PRESTIGE..... Go Pan's....
THE WINNER IS: PAN'S LABYRINTH!!!! WOW - I wanted it to win, but I honestly didn't feel it'd win this one. I hope this is a trend!
Maggie Gylennhaal doing the Science and Tech Awards...
Shadow Oscar is fucking Creepy!
I want an iPhone
Will Ferrell - A Comedian at the Oscars... heh... THIS FUCKING RULES!!! LOL -- I'm gonna beat you down with my Nick award. Heh. John C Reilly from the audience...

Acheivement in MAKE-UP OSCARE
Apocalypto, CLICK and Pan's Labyrinth...
And THE WINNER IS.... PAN'S LABYRINTH -- Mexican Flags in the Audience!!!! THat's awesome!!!
PIZZA ARRIVES!! What a great moment
ANIMATED SHORTS by Little miss sunshine...

Oscar Goes To: THE DANISH POET - lame!!! slightly amusing. This is the first time that I've seen all of them - and I really didn't like this one.
now -
LIVE ACTION SHORTS - I've also seen all these - This should go to THE WEST BANK STORY - it's brilliant.
Winner is: THE WEST BANK STORY!!! Awesome acceptance speech -- this is brilliant. This guy needs to direct features!!!

This is kinda lame - Ellen giving Scorsese the script.
Too many production numbers - those shadow things - they creep me the fuck out.

Wow that whole last break between the commercials had nothing to do with the awards themselves. Just filler stuff. Sigh.

Winner is HAPPY FEET. He should have won for THE ROAD WARRIOR!!! George Miller has an oscar!

That horse racing thing was stupid... and it didn't mention that PAN'S is in the lead with 2 wins, thus far. heh. Now if it can only take LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE in Screenplay.

And the Oscar Goes To: MARIE ANTOINETTE. Oh I love this winner - very nervous - very cute. She's married to the owner of the Kuato belly!!!
Tom Cruise presents the JEAN HERSHOLT AWARD for Humanatarian efforts. Sherry rules! Real shame that she left Paramount when she did. And she has one of the coolest husbands around in Billy Friedkin! Very nice.
Getting Spielberg to take a photo of her with Clint rocks.
Gwyneth Paltrow - BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY --
Noms - BLACK DAHLIA, CHILDREN OF MEN - god these are great - THE ILLUsiONisT - and PAN'S LABYRINTH and THE PRESTIGE. These are all great - I wish they'd all win.

The Poetry of The Gunslinger speaking Ennio's words is just one of the most beautiful things I've seen on stage at an oscar. Wasn't prepared to have Clint translate for Morricone. Wow. Fucking Awesome.
Penelope and Hugh Best Original Score -- BABEL, THE GOOD GERMAN, NOTES ON A SCANDAL, PAN'S LABYRINTH, THE QUEEN... go Pan go Pan go Pan...
Oscar Goes to BABEL and Gustavo Santo... It's a great score, just isn't as hauntingly beautiful as Pan's in my mind.

Shadow people again coming - scary
This idiot thinks Pans won 2? What the fuck.
Jennifer Lopez comes out to present DREAMGIRLS musical numbers
Hudson is so damn good. And can you imagine having to come out and sing after you freaked out winning - I can't imagine. Having to be a part of this nerve rattling competition - then sing on stage...
Next - Travolta and Queen Latifah original song
The Inconvenient Truth - Listen (dreamgirls) - Love You I do, Our Town CARS bleh. Patience - Dreamgirls
Oscar goes to Melissa Etheridge: THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH. Apparently if the song has a message you like, it beats songs that are actually good.

Can't we do with a 30 min "best of" red carpet before the awards and thats it? No more Seacrest, please dear god...no more Seacrest.

presenting tonight, per ABC. Let's just say she's not the only HOT Jessica in entertainment.

UK viewers can watch red carpet now on sky one

and the main show on sky movies.

She's a spaz.
-
Unfortunately it will go to the American Idol reject.
-
please comment on how this years Oscars relate to Hot Fuzz!
-
I'm in the U.K. and aunless you subscribe to a certain channel you can't watch. Take pity on a humble Limey and post some pics, please!

King of Scotland- best actor----
The horny old broad from 'Cook,thief Wife and her over' for Best Actress----The Fat American idol chick for Support actress-----The Director of 'Little Murders'(one of the best of the 70's) for Best Supp.Actor-----Scorsese for Director and Departed for movie of the year...Not that I care, I despise the Oscars. -
Harry's coverage rocks.

You are not missing much on the sky one red carpet show. It's just talk about what dress people are wearing. rather dull really...apart from seeing Larry David, well until his wife wouldn't let him get a word in edge ways!
-
Somebody post a URL for that classic TB, please...
-
I don't even want to hear Michael Buble sing, nevermind interviewed.
-
Seriously. Awards given out for art. In sports there is competition between athletes that decides who wins and loses. But a competition on something as subjective as art is beyond stupid.
-
Hope Eddie Murphy wins! and the Academy finally shows Comedy some respect.
-
I would love to see somebody cut the breakline to one of these limos and let the out of control car run over Joan and Melissa Rivers. I have seen Joan Rivers up close: she looks like she is wearing a mask of her own face.
-
Don't care one jot. I'd rather watch the inside of my wardrobe in total darkness than watch this crap "show"
-
And Guillermo's going down, Harry. Get your kleenex ready.
-
its gonna win. it's the most middle of the road choice. so, it will win.
-
why weren't last king of Scotland, children of men, the fountain, and dream girls nominated for best picture?
-
this is a big liberal circle jerk where they all enjoy getting democrat political cum all over their faces. But what really pisses me off is that fucking "al-manbearpig-gore" is going to accept a nomination for a movie he was in(rather than a movie he made) while they guys who MADE THE FUCKING MOVIE sit by and try and catch some warm jizz as it flies and just get left in the dust.
-
best picture, director, screenplay, actor, clean sweep of the year, Scorcese pack your bags!
-
I just re-watched Little Miss Sunshine today, and it's fine if people have a problem with that movie, but Carell's performance in it is just incredible in my opinion, and it really is a shame he's not nominated. And yeah, I was blown away by Babel, and if The Departed wasn't in this, I'd be rooting for that one all the way. I would love for Rinko to win so, so much, but with Adriana nominated from Babel as well, the votes will probably be split. The love for Little Children is also nice, but for DiCaprio to be up for Blood Diamond, but not Departed is just crazy.
-
departed will win best picture, but I also see them pulling a Shakespear in Love by letting Little Miss Sunshine or the Queen win the best picture.
-
it will suck and I will watch. same procedure as almost every year. i will watch for these tiny little moments of an artist's luck and happiness to go up that damn stage. a montage that will surprisingly celebrate filmmaking... you know what I'm talking about...let the hatred begin...
-
Should be up for best picture ...... Because its THAT damn good.
-
ROTK won everything. Nothing can top that for pure geekgasm experience.
-
... male hollywood bigshot on both cheeks at the red carpet! The look on that dudes face was priceless!!! :D:D
-
Just a couple of years ago everyone made a big deal, and rightfully so, out of Denzel and Hallie winning oscars and now here we are with the very real possibility that *THREE* of the four acting oscars will go to black actors.
-
never felt so happy at an award show before, fuck those pretentious snob films, big epic fantasy story wins it all.
-
True ... But this year at least ONE of them really deserves it.
-
Harry finally changed the New Year's animation.
-
Holy sh@*! I can watch live!
-
Do it for us Harry, for all of us!
-
weird and totally disturbing sexual comment about some poor innocent chick onstage. My favorite part of Oscar coverage.
-
Actually the live commentaries of aicn, chud and defamer make the whole thing worthwile, bearable and turn it into a stimulus satiation...
-
the best thing I've ever experienced. It's nice to have a movie you loved and actually saw win all the awards. Mostly the stuff that wins awards sucks balls and bores the hell out of me. That being said, if Marty and The Departed doesn't win tonight (and I don't think it will - damn you Clint), I'm going to freak out. Also, as much as I want Scorcese to win, that is also how much I want Al Gore's flick to lose ... I won't be able to take the collective liberal cock slobbering if that crap wins the award.
-
It's a crime that The Prestige wasn't nominated for best picture, best actor (Jackman or Bale), best direction, or best adapted screenplay! It's one of the best films I've ever seen, and only continues to justify why the Oscars don't mean shit to me anymore. Of course, Daniel Craig deserved an acting nom, but the Academy are just a bunch of dumbfucks that usually bend to popular opinion. People shouldn't get nominated for acting awards because they sang well in a film! It's all meaningless all the way around. And Freakjuice89, we don't need Eddie Murphy credited as an Academy Award winner while promoting Norbit 2 or Dr. Doolittle 3. Shit like that makes my eyes bleed. -NJM
-
...which leads to me trying to refresh the tv programme...
-
what is VTU??
-
I'm rooting for Guillermo too. I went and saw PAN'S LABYRINTH for the third time last night. It's an amazing film and tonight will be a great Oscar ceremony if PL is awarded at least an award or two.
-
I'll be quite sad. Eastwood is great, but to have done Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and so many more near perfect movies and not have an Oscar is disheartening. Also, Seacrest just did a bizarre interview with Arkin.
-
there is already a 3
-
I love eastwood, the man, the legend, blabla, unforgiven, mystic river. But flags and letters where both very long and tiresome movies with battle scenes that just didnt work out for me. Letters was a lot better then flags but still I found it quit tiresome and draggin, I expected more out of it.
-
MARTIN SCORSESE BETTA WIN!
-
Florian Henkel von Donnersmarck is pretty cool...Das Leben der Anderen was good but not as good as PAN'S LABYRINTH. GO Guillermo!
-
Just got off the phone with Del Toro... He told me Pans will WIN!
-
Where online can i dl the sonofagun???
-
Barbera walters is going to put Murphy on blast!
-
I did some google and TVU is a tiny application to stream live broadcast events. You can download the 3mb file at: http://tinyurl.com/yvng4t
-
Fuck you, buddy.
-
I know this is not a movie yet, but is there anyway they could make room for an award for it.
-
Where do i point TVU to? Whats the adress of the stream?
-
is that francis ford coppola next to the old lucas?? or am i hallucinating...
-
I'm getting hungry...
-
Where, Where???
-
until now i was watching the german coverage so....what I saw was quite different...he was standing right next to coppola...I'm stupid. Some minutes ago I noticed that there's still half an hour of alien preshow till the show begins...
-
Tres couture!
-
What a gorgeous face. That whole outward jaw thing she does is quite attractive to me. And she's going ALONE. She must be wild in bed. And there's my (hopefully only) derogatory comment for the night.
-
Except for the quick crossover between Happy Feet and Cars.
-
Where is this mystical German coverage, Harry's commentary may not be stimulant enough to keep me up!
-
Seriously, I hated her "I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" scene. It. Went. On. Forever. Everybody else in the movie was really good, but jebus, did she ever suck. Anyway, hey, Michael Scott is the red carpet.
-
"Cameron Diaz's highschool nickname was 'Skeletor'."
-
Assuming that you downloaded the stand alone player, scroll down the listed available channels until you see Academy Awards then double clicks it, wait for it to stream and voila, live TVs.

She looks like she rolled in a bottel of taning lotion and ate some ho hos while doing it. Yuk

Isla Fisher can't hold the baton all night people.

Hah! Eddie goofed on himself for PLUTO NASH! That's the first time he's made me laugh in ten years.

That's 3 Pluto Nash references I've heard from him tonight
-
That's because he lost a fortune on it.
-
3 mb downloaded, selected oscar channel and done! Thanks for the tip!
-
Spielberg handing Jackson an Oscar = OFF THE FUCKING CHARTS NERDGASM
Anyway... -
All I have to say to Reese Witherspoon is: Drop the cheap-looking extensions, they make you look like Kelly fucking Pickler.
-
Jake LaMotta!
or...
Howard Hughes! -
I love piracy, makes me feel warm inside. Much like Ryan Gosling words of wisdom:
'As my mother always said - if your doing it for the money, you're doing it for the wrong reasons'
Ahem. Twat.
-
mmmmhhhhh...three mexicans...
she just said "coppola, ford and lucas"....but maybe my hearing is bad -
but what do I know...
-
Spielberg's PISSED!
-
makes me feel funny where I pee.
-
Is anyone else's sound out of sync with the picture? That's annoying!
-
yawn....
-
That is all...
-
bums, I may as well just go to bed.
-
Penelope Cruz should be selling beer at a cock fight.
-
hoola hoola hope. this is good.
-
man, it's beautiful in any way shape or form...
-
that they ended up on Scorcese while the voiceover said, "the one they've been waiting for"??
-
Man, I would fuck so hard it would cause a rift in the space-time continuum. And JJ, if you wan't to use that for a plot line in your new Star Trek flick, go ahead.
-
It doesn't look like he's gonna last much longer.
-
remember that gag from The Simpsons when Dick Clark melted and revealed a robot underneath? Yeah, something like that.
-
BALD JACK GOTTA EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nice Suit. Twat.
-
Who the fuck is this...?
-
She's dressed like a guy.
-
I'm going bowling...I'll have to watch the replay later...
-
Like Conan, she likes to bomb a line, then make it funny with her ad-libbing.
-
let get into this shall we. lets start with the simple statement that your um... retarded. Your first post was to point out that Gore's film was sci-fi (a political comment?) then you went on to state that the "hollywood halfwits" would make said political statements, which makes you a "loser halfwit" Then you went on to bitch and moan about a yet to happen applause for Anna Nicole Smith... very pathetic, not Anna, you. I could go on but I just feel sorry for your sad existance. I'm not sure if all my grammer was correct here but I had tears in my eyes from chuckling about your belief that global warming is science fiction. AAHH, young retards, ya gotta love 'em. Here's a crayon (don't eat it) enjoy the Oscars 'Tardo
-
shut up guys!
-
It looks and feels like ass-kissing self-satisfaction. Not that I blame them; Oscars gives a boost in ego. It's normal, it's healthy and it's lot of fun being there at the physical ceremony! Ellen makes me feel neauseated with her schmaltzy jokes. David Letterman have a company.
-
Napolean Dynamite called....he wants his outfit back. Twat.
-
Oh the irony.
-
... starts here.
-
I'm just saying....
-
how this year was any more discriminitory than last year. Just saying.
-
If he presented the Oscars then it would possibly be the greatest show on earth. Unfortunately we get Ellen, there is no justice.
-
And, of course, the crowd loved it
-
Thank you. THANK YOU. And now, fuck work in the morning. Its not even 2am here in the UK, but finally I can watch the Oscars! Get some!
-
This is not a BLUES BROTHER movie, so knock this off.
-
seriously. I'd rather have Whoopi back. I'd rather have Trump host it and spend the whole time calling Rosie O'Donnel a lard-chewing planetoid of a bitch. I'd rather have Harry host it and spend the whole time sitting there naked eating peanut butter from a jar and telling us why Godzilla deserved the Best Picture oscar. Wait ... that was a little weird.
-
yeesh

Oh man Bill Hicks would decimate the Oscars
by totallygayforchristianbale
bond needs to tap that. whats with the tumor on her shoulder.
-
Everyone else is commenting on Reese. Yeah, the only way to fuck her would be violently.

Hubba hubba...Rinko Kikuchi & Iñárritu better win Oscar
by badwaldo s revenge
I saw Babel on DVD last week and I was blown away by its force. The Departed royally blew, it's Marty's one of lesser efforts. Nicole Kidman never looked so better with Botox injections. HOT MAMA...!
-
THat is all.
-
yeah BALE
-
nice Chex Mex
-
A good start.
-
nice
-
is it just me or was that helarious when they showed steve carrell and he was have a what the fuck moment as a result of the joke being brutal, but it was funny that they caught it, he would be a good host by the way
-
Go Del Toro!
-
We need some Uma-Oprah in this!
-
go pan!
-
I'd REALLY like to see Black Dahlia get Cinematography.
-
the crowd loved it because it was clever and very funny. Tell me do you only laugh at jokes about a specific narrow subject matter or when something tickles yer funny bone. Lets cut the libral/right shite.
-
PANS BABY!!!! YESSS
-
she was good in stranger than fiction, kinda, but meh
-
Did he look disgusted or something?
-
Nicole Kidman looks FUCKING AMAZING in that dress. Wow.
-
dear god your frighteningly retarded!!! That is all
-
The best voice guy in the business.
-
because hollywood is liberal leaning....you know it..i know it who gives a fuck!!you act like it big news that the oscar crowd laughed at a liberal joke...right wingers have to be the most humourless people. you all just fail to grasp the fact that it is funnier to mock those in power...we currently have a republican president...one who lets face it has opened a flood gate of joke material.you act like no one has ever mocked a democrat before...I mean hell there were no jokes about clinton when he was president...dear god...plus the host is a lesbian..in hollywood..odds are she is a liberal.
-
Do you think the audience would have applauded as strongly if it had been a Republican who had won the popular vote but lost the electoral college?
-
Feb 25, 2007 7:50:43 PM CST
nicole kidman looks amazing in anything, or nothing.
by totallygayforchristianbale
jeez.
-
I agree it was funny, but it seemed more to me that he was playing to the camera than actually confused/upset.
-
yeah he definately was wondering why he was mentioned as it was clompletely random... most people they show are going nuts because they are mentioned but he looked really miffed
-
...would like Whoopi back. Now opening the Baileys.
-
it all feels a bit awkward until now. but this could just be every year's regular feeling. the gospel thing: awwww...embarassing. Pan: the right choice.
-
god, fuck them
\ -
Makes no difference if you agree with the sentiment or not, it was probably one of the better crafted jokes of the monologue.
-
WOO WILL FERRELL!!!
-
doesn't a supporting actor/actress award usually come first?
-
actually yes i do. at least i would have.
-
why do you need an ad-break every 5 min1?!
-
Wow...that's all I can say. But Ferrell's house is interesting.
-
good for them recognizing their shortcomings.
-
Annie Hall winning is still a shock. A good shock, but I mean some comedies ARE deserving.
-
Why oh why do things like this get off the drawing board?
-
And by "house", i meant "hair." thought I saw Hugh Laurie for a second.
-
in the beginning it seemed lame but black's fucking energy nails it...them...

boogie nights to ricky bobby what a man.

Geezers, this might be worst Oscar telecast ever...
by badwaldo s revenge
Long, boring & schmaltzy. The upside is watching Helen Mirren grab the Oscar and deliver a touching speech that might upstage Vanessa Grave from 30 years ago. That's my prediction. Oh, my fingers crossed for Rinko and Alejandro to win Oscars...would make a good night. Alfonso and Guillermo would beam with joy...native Mexican PRIDE! Didn't like Pan's Labyrinth, though. Too grisly in gratuitous violence that render the impact of the story mute. Jack Black and Will Ferrell with that pug dog-faced actor singing together is...three-letter word.
-
This has just made it the best fucking oscar ceromeny ever!
-
And yeah, Black's energy is making this.
-
now it's back to bad. except black this number feels as if i was watching an academy awards show from the 50s...
-
...please make them stop.
-

"Helen Mirren will be coming home with me!": Awesome.

I almost forgot - did Ellen call Penelope Cruz Mexican?
by fluffyunbound
Isn't she Spanish? Is Penelope's publicist trying to fight her way backstage to kill her now?
-
That was fucking awesome!
-
what the fuck, CLICK got oscar nominated? that's just weird.
-
yeah
-
Horay!
-
Good stuff.
-
PANS AGAIN!! YESSS
-
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAS
-
you heard me! Great film!
-
It was stunning and easily the best of the year. Thank God its winning awards.
-
It is so wrong that I was hoping those two got it on backstage.
-
I'm gonna take a piss.
-
stupid kids
-
That's always first. Maybe because everyone in it did such a fucking great job this year, and it's the one I'm most curious about.
-
...please (remove from stage) think of the children.
-
Apocalypto lost an Oscar for best make-up. It's one of the most convincing make-up effects I've ever seen for a historical fiction film. Mel might as well return to toasting in salute and down Captain Morgan Parrot Bay pineapple rum on the rocks to recover from disappointment.
-
Unacceptable mistake!
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:02:14 PM CST
i like that they're not doing acting first.
by totallygayforchristianbale
setting a good precedent.
-
Although these are the minor categories.
-
Happy for Pan's Labyrinth, but my God! This is equal parts embarrassing and horrifying.
-
BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
-
I can't believe He wrote that.
Not that I expect much, but please. Fuck this, someone put the Obituary sequence on you-tube and I'll be happy, I'm going to bed. -
.. that's how lame they r this year!!
-
"give that damn animated shorts category to the kids. it won't matter if they can't read the winner or screw the whole thing up." well..I actually found it pretty cool...the screwing up part... btw: the animation of the winner looked like fucking WICKY DER WICKINGER
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:04:51 PM CST
this is definitely not the worst oscars ever.
by totallygayforchristianbale
i'm digging it quite a lot.
-
Aw HELL No! Come on Wil, spend some of those bucks on a tutor.
-
Well he should add his line reading from tonight to his demo reel.
-
Harry supplies a venue for us to comment on the Oscars, just so the majority could bitch and moan about every little micro thing that happens. I really hope your black miserable hearts give you Cancer. You heard me, CANCER!

This guy is doing really well. The short film dude.
by totallygayforchristianbale
We're gonna see him do more stuff. Good man.

Am I behind in the times, or did he pull a PJ gastric-job? GDT is Thinboy
-
The Oscars are great when they recognize what America wants to see...a tribute to THE MOVIES. So what do they give us? A tribute to THE NOMINEES. That's bullshit. And then a gospel choir singing "It's all about you...Hallelu, hallelu." What the fuck is that? The only way the average American connects with the Oscars is when the people of Hollywood acknowledge that it's all about "the movies," not all about them. So what did they do? They made it all about them.
-
from the live action shorts guy
-
this happening with anyone else.
-
Is getting fat and bald?
-
Stop putting him in movies Will, and put him in 2nd grade. That kid sucks.
-
so smug
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:09:47 PM CST
Harry: "PIZZA ARRIVES!! What a great moment" ...Funny
by flim springfield
-
Is actually doing OK.
-
Would hate for her to be photographed for the whole world when winning with that horrible thing on. I usually love Degeneres....but that opening was sooooo low key. Yawn. 2 for Pan's Labyrinth, woohoo. It better win best foreign film.
-
Doesn't Will Smith have enough money to put his child in private school? Learn to ready, boy!
-
I thought it was Marlon Brando resurrected!
-
Will be locked in a auditing chamber with Tom Cruise for a week afer that screw up. The engrams obviously caused him to misread his cue.
-
she apologized to Penny. NICE.

this is a good oscars. you pessimistic narcissits piss me off. fags.

just like that car commercial

Michael Winslow could do all this sound FX crap himself
by flim springfield
-
but wtf was that
-
her Cruz/Mexican statment. I think Ellen is excellent as host and very funny!
-
Mostly due to Ellen. If she wasn't gay, she wouldn't have a career, because she sure as hell isn't funny or entertaining. We just have to pretend she is because she used to mow down on Anne Heche's box.
-
uhh, weird.
-
I don't know about fat. But I think the bald look is for his new film with Morgan Freeman called "The Bucket List". They play cancer ward patients.
-
If they actually let us see the film clips.
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:14:33 PM CST
Carrell just nailed my sex life and probably all yours.
by totallygayforchristianbale
HA HA HA HA
-
Amazingly stupid!!!!
-
Honestly though, that was pretty impressive. And I laughed at the muting gag.
-
One of the few nominees I didn't see, and I'm sure it's good, but Scorsese better not lose to Eastwood again.
-
I didn't see either picture (waiting for a double DVD day), but, c'mon, seriously, aren't they the same picture?
-
Tis pity it's not playing anywhere I live.
-
...or Jean Claude Van Damme or Chuck Norris or Dolph Lundgren (he actually holds a master's degree in chemical engineering...no wonder he's still a wooden actor, it sure pay mortgage bills a lot faster) or Ahnuld or Sly or Vin or Casper Van Dien. After all, Oscars is a snooty, self-important awards ceremony for saccharine old farts & lip-pursing Castro-idolizing liberals. ::( about Apocalypto's second Oscar loss, Mel became Captain Morgan in the fantasyland.
-
no bra though, and that's nice.
-
We have ten nerds sitting around a TV drinking beer and eating pizza and right now the Ellen score is 50-0... that's emberassed cringes vs giggles. I thought this would be bad, but I didn't think it would be THIS bad.
-
Yummy.
-
He is capable of great stuff.
-
Ok that sucked
-
shitcocks
-
you ignorant slut..... Ellens is hysterical. her munchin carpet is just a perk.
-
Captain Kangaroo.
-
And that's one win too many.
-
Have they shown Nicholson in the front row yet? I'll be sad if he's not there.
-
Ahhh, that guy who had been nominated 19 times with no win, didn't get it again. That sucks.
-
Shaved head and all.
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:21:10 PM CST
yeah, he's bald now, but still wearing the glasses.
by totallygayforchristianbale
he's still there. dont worry.
-
Wrap it up indeed!
-
wooooo
-
I bet he could have done the whole set by himself.
-
Schwing. And no, Ellen is not funny. Not now, not ever.
-
Although she looks like she needs a nap...

NORBIT NORBIT NORBIT

by badwaldo s revenge
Damn, handsome & well-off British men blush with jealousy at a New Yorker who took a purty Brit with her on the cruise ship :) Victory for male American pride!~
-
Wowza.
-
He deserved it.
-
Fuck.
-
that movie looks uh fun, btw when will ben seaver star in that osama bin laden bio pic
-
BULLSHIT. I CALL BULLSHIT ON THIS WIN.
-
Fuck ALOT of women
-
I CANT BELIEVE EDDIE DIDNT GET IT.
-
Hm. Well, good on him.
-
Should've been won by Kelly Leak. Then we could have all piled in the conversion van and headed out for smokes and beer to celebrate.
-
But Arkin did a fantastic job, and basically anyone winning over Murphy is fine by me. Now, if only Hudson doesn't win because she sang a song well. Give it to Rinko!
-
was that the wrong song for alan arkin??
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:24:35 PM CST
am i getting this shit early? what the hell?
by totallygayforchristianbale
I'm like 6 seconds ahead of all you fuckers.
-
It's painful to only see Weisz as a presenter...torture! Arkin's win is great. End it's enough for LMS.
-
had won an Oscar? That'd have been wonderful.
-
The film however deserves to not even be nominated for Best Picture. Good on him, its better than Mr Murphy getting it.
-
But I wasn't a fan of the movie itself.
-
didn't realize he took himself so seriously...
-
Well, I didn't see Little Children, but I dug all of those performaces as well. Even though Marky-Mark really didn't do much but, you know, yell.
-
Way to go Captain!
-
You know it be true.
-
Marty's laugh is so cute
-
-- The Great White Noise has spoken.

Ellen plays an ass-kissing sycophant to Marty & co
by badwaldo s revenge
INFERNAL AFFAIRS is a far superior to the dumb, bloated & long-winded The Departed in compact storyline and tight editing. Marty better not win an Oscar, it's more like "The Academy feel for ya, here's a pity Oscar, Marty"
-
Kinda like the rest of the show
-
trying to drum up some laughs. Perhaps some thousand ping pong balls falling on her would be better than the stuff she is spitting out tonight.
-
Eddie WAS robbed. Alan Arkin did not wow me at all in LMS. In fact, no one besides Carell did. This SUCKS.
-
Was I the only one who thought that Little Miss Sunshine was just too much? Arkin was just the same crotchety old man we've seen a million times over.
-
it'd be the Honorary won that Altman got.
-
"Help him. Help the bombadier. But, I'm the bombadier. Then, help him."
-
didnt realize she was dancing thought it was a bit of nasty
-
So good for him.

Ellen's tackiness shows with Napoleon Dynamite homage
by badwaldo s revenge
Is ND even a funny movie? No way. Worst movie of 2004, period. And yet everyone seem to love it. Bird shit rubbish film, at least Jon Heder got a much-needed movie star status. If Napoleon D were a real person he'd file a lawsuit like that "I KISS U!" Turk tried to sue Sasha Cohen for ripping him off.
-
I guess it's a good thing the whole acting and producing thing worked out for him.
-
Terrible movie.
-
of when Martin Landau won for best supporting actor over Sam Jackson back in 94.
-
This loss for murphy will prompt him to drop more F bombs on film again. We need our foul mouthed, smart ass cop back.
-
Overrated, boring, muddled crap. NOt to mention the horrendous feel-good ending.The Departed was sublime cinema. Hollywood at it's best.
-

-
It didn't help that something so low-brow as Norbit was out and Eddie Murphy doesn't do publicity, so he doesn't kiss enough ass to get awards. What's with people putting their Oscars on the ground? Seems so tacky...aren't they coordinated enough to hold it and a piece of paper for their speech? That Letters From Iwo Jima sound guy gave the most slow and boring speech I've ever heard, ugh. After reading one paper, he says and "I'd like to thank" then turns to a second piece of paper..."my father who blah blah blah". Couldn't he have remembered that off his head?
-
FUCKalot of women
-
Very much, actually. But not this Randy Newman song.
-
Taste or tact??? Anyone??????
-
Feb 25, 2007 8:32:25 PM CST
Actually Arkin was hilarious in Grosse Pointe Blank...
by greatwhitenoise
Yeah, OK. Can't argue too hard against it.
-
In 5/5 time.
-
Granted, but Ed Wood did kick a lot of ass. Depp should have an Oscar for it.
-
Kindda feel bad for that one guy that didn't didn't get a chance to say his thank yous cause the black guy stole his airtime. Not the first time a black man steals something...ZING.
-
BTW, I'm watching Part 8 of Jazz. Charlie Parker: now that's good music.
-
It was Jackson Browne.
-
Infernal affairs rapes the shit out of the departed, departed is good but infernal affairs is just better.
-
God, what a terrible song.
-
James Taylor and Bobby Duvall?
-
Darryl Hannah. Not James Taylor. And is it just me, or does every single Mellissa Etheridge song sound exactly the same?
-
Gives me time to go make turds.
-
Not on all channels, just the ABC stations. Guess I don't get to watch this year.
-
will win for best picture!! What will that say about indie films in the future!!
-
Seriously.
-
That has just amde me laugh 100x more than anything Ellen has said tonight.
-
DiCaprio. Still pretty.
-
Harry, you don't know who James McAvoy is?! Interesting. You will when this site hypes Wanted next year. James McAvoy....
-
al gore talks and i will kill an endangered species
-
Nice that he's there though.
-
Wonder if he's tired of being asked,"so what was Kramer's problem?"
-
lol!
-
Why dont you just blow Al Gore and get it over with?
-
Yippe !! Someone forgot to tell all the attendees piled up 15 deep in their limos who all flew in on their private jets and stay in their 10,000 ft2 hotel suites. God these circle jerk elitists make me want to barf.
-
That was really funny
-
This show makes us look like a bunch of crusty, old white farts. These are the "liberals"? They put a show on with James Taylor, dumb songs about global warming, all pilled up on top of lame jokes and stiff celebs all wearing the same shit. Very progressive, indeed. Revolutionary. Oh, brother, here's the fucking Goracle.
-
Yeah, the hundreds of lights, limos, private jets.....SURE they went green.
-
Nuff said..! Yossarian rules.
-
"Hybris limos and SUV's"
Yeah, big deal. If they REALLY were serious, they would have showed up on Bicycles. -
...and I feel greener already, thanks to the lockbox. By the way, how about reducing all the private jet flights that celebrities who advocate this stuff use? Think of all the pollution they're spewing! Of course, they can't be inconvenienced by such tripe.
-
Great ending to the Al Gore/Leo bit. I actually laughed.
-
What's the Smug level at?Meanwhile, Dizzy Gillespie is spear-heading the popularizing of Be-Bop.
-
LEONARDO DICAPRIO FOR VEEP. Al looks like a marshmallow puff, though. I'm a half-believer of global warming but it's naturally occuring every 100,000 years. "For the first time in the history of the Oscars, it is GREEN!" Yay, Leo, we love you, but face the reality, the industrial world with coal-burning & oil-sucking fat cats don't care and millions of brain-dead Americans, Chinese, Mexicans and third-world countries don't give a shit. Ever seen PBS NOVA documentary "Magnetic Storm" on magnetic poles shifting and what happened to Mars in theory? Awesome, humankind is gonna be dying with cancerous radiation and there isn't a dman thing you can do about it except burrow deep underground like THE LITTLES.
-
I always envisioned James Taylor for some strange reason. Well, the night is young and he still has a chance if she shows up at any of the parties.
-
IT'S A FUCKEN RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!
(It's a joke people figure it out!) -
I decided to save electricity and turn off my tv. The computer is another issue I will resolve in the future. Thanks Mr. Gore and Leo.
-
Eddie Murphy is one of the most hated actors in "the acting community." No matter how good his performance, they are not going to award him anytime soon.
-
Little known fact!
-
best scene coordination with already existing movie. You know, like the ending of Fight Club with "Where is My Mind?" playing. Good music/content can be pretty wonderful. And I also wouldn't be surprised at this point if Little Miss Sunshine wins Best Picture; as long as Scorsese gets director, and Babel gets something, I'll be fine with that.
-
If they keep giving oscars to people to make up for times they missed their best performaces it only adds to the problem. It looks more and more like a high school class president race.
-
Ellen is stinking up the place. Where's Chris Rock when you need him.
-
PIXAR HAS TOO MANY AND FUCK PENGUINS. YEAH!
-
Ellen take note
-
He would be fantastic as The Kingpin in any Marvel movie.
-
nice cheekbones! "Lady you're scaring us!" Get over yourself.
-
what I always wanted to ask: Is Cameron Diaz real?
-
he is stil pretty funny, though. Also, thank God Cars didn't win.
-
would be awesome.
-
Enough with SHITREK franchise. GEEEEOOOOOORRRRRRGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE MIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR! MAD MAX DIRECTOR WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! WHOO HOO!
-
...and it just happens to be a much better movie than Cars. Who woulda thunkit?
-
Oscar Mos Eisley Spaceport...you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany. And the Mexican Flags were a disgrace.
-
Take that Batman!!
-
It really would have been a surprise if he HAD announced he was running for President. The politics on the show wouldn't be so bad if the actors weren't so pretentious about it.
-
Damn bro, stop eatin all those Red Baron Microwavable pizzas!
-
Was funnier and more memorable than all three of these nominees.
-
I still like the guy. Good for him that he's getting back on track.
-
But I loves me some marty!
-
Bastards
-
Holy crap he even sucks at giving awards! Man he's a shitty actor.
-
When I first saw her in The Mask there was a stirring in my pants. But now after many years have gone by she look s she could be related to Posh Spice who is also not that attractive and somewhere in that they got spliced DNA with an Ompa Lompa. Plus her voice annoys the hell out of me.
-
Woo!
-
Psst.....Anime sucks
-

Screenwriters are often neglected. thank you The Academ
by badwaldo s revenge
y for the tribute. Accomplished novelists, essayists and screenwriters are true masters of the craft. Touching...*dash moist eye with a kleenex*
-
Now, that's funny! Good one!
-
either Over the Hedge or Monster House shoulda won....whatever.
-
very good.
-
Such a good movie.
-
SHAVED HIS HEAD! AHHHHH LOLLERCAKES!
-
Nicholson should be banned from Award Shows for the next three years...at least.
-
The early roles in the Kevin Smith movies are great for him. His big mistake is just being a #1 douchebag in real life and having dated Jennifer Lopez who is a stuck up tool who thinks she is better then everyone else.
-
down Garner's Leg
-
yes!
-
Coen brothers are nuts in that movie. Pretentious self-fellation of a movie but still mildly amusing.
-
Cuz this is makin' me sleepy.
-
trying to do this while watching is difficult.
-
Less Shakespeare in Love...MORE FUNNY FARM!!!!
-
I hope they keep it. And Borat winning would be huge.
-
Helen Mirren giving the title to Borat?
-
YES YES YES YES YES
-
CHILDREN OF MEN. PLEEEEEAAAAASE. I'm sorry, Borat....
-
No surprise and guaranteed to annoy Righties.
-
you must be on drugs.
And don't forget the 2 numnut or can't you count? -
Feb 25, 2007 8:52:33 PM CST
YES CHILDREN OF MEN DESERVED BEST PICTURE/DIRECTOR!!
by totallygayforchristianbale
COME ON YEAH
-
HAHA
-
a commercial with a duck selling insurance or something. Gilbert Gottfried was the duck's voice over!!!
-
I couldn't help but notice that Funny Farm was missing from the film about writers. How rude?
-
That's no type of writing for stage directions. And GREAT, first Departed win!
-
what the fuck
-
Very cool. It is a great script. Added plug: If you haven't read his novel 'Light House', do so. It's fucking hilarious and a really quick read.
-
Good job, fatso.
-
It's based on the Japanese movie called Infernal Affairs
-
The Asians demand reparation. The Departed is full of it with useless dialogues and even worthless romantic interlude. INFERNAL AFFAIRS may be flawed, but it's a lot more entertaining than Marty's overroasted turkey.
-
Go fuck yourself, right wing jerk-off. That's right, that's right.
-
Wooo!!
-
MONAHAN. Can't spell tonight.
-
Just checking.
-
jesus h christ.
-
how's the chemo going
-
than all the overpriced dumbasses who research this show. HONG KONG!!!!
-
You deserve to die of a heart attach RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!
-
departed based on chink film infernal affairs
-
That was my favourite part of the night, so far. I want Tom Hanks back in comedies.
-
I don't understand why this site is so fucking negative towards Little Miss Sunshine. I guess it just wasn't "cool" enough. Well, fuck that, it was a good little comedy and while I wish Arkin had stuck around the film a little longer, I still think its a triumph that he won...he's good in EVERYTHING. C'mon, Eddie Murphy takes one serious role after years of dreck and they just throw him an Oscar? Sorry guys, it doesn't work that way, and it shouldn't. The last decent thing Murphy did was The Nutty Professor...the FIRST one.
If Murphy is truly serious about acting, he'll get another shot. Giving him this Oscar would have been a green light for him to go back to making insipid family films and broad "paycheck comedies" that aren't half as funny or heartlfelt as Little Miss Sunshine. With Eddie's talent, those kinds of films are unacceptable. Now Eddie will most likely keep making great films in order to finally get the Oscar he missed this time. Isn't that a GOOD thing? Think about it...they made the right choice... -
but Children of Men looked beautiful. Give it to them for cinematography, if only for that STUNNING 5 minute one-shot car sequence.
-
Monaghan looks like a guy coming straight out of this talkback. it's so ok that he won but children....well...
Sit down, damn Nicholson! As far as I*ve understood it you ruined the film for Marty so he did some editing of hate and anger to save this film and make it that brilliant. that's what I read... -
O'Toole was robbed for Lawrence of Arabia and that crime should never go unpunished. If there is a God give it to him NOW.
-
I love that commercial.
-
great!
-
Sci-Fi, for Battlestar Galactica, Episode 316, "Maelstrom" (Applause)
-
children of fucking men
-
IN THE ANNOUNCER CHICK'S COPY, AS MONAHAN TOOK THE STAGE, SHE SAID, "...based on the JAPANESE film Infernal Affairs ... " How the hell did that one get by?
-
or is Helen Mirren looking really hot?
-
soo small!!
-
But I really love that Wes Anderson American Express commercial.
-
The departed was NOT written based on a JAPANESE screenplay. Infernal Affairs was an CHINESE screenplay.
The academy needs to get their facts straight!!! -
I agree. I don't understand the negativity towards Little Miss Sunshine. While I would probably pick The Departed or Children of Men over LMS, I still loved it. Also, what's with the hate over Borat? Maybe I should just accept that I agree with the opposite of what Harry says.
-
That's right I said it!
-
for this Oscar telecast are better than the Superbowl ones
-
WTF, somebody gonna loose their job tomorrow for writing that. And millions of Chinese ain't happy for sure.

2 words for pat-on-back Leo & Al: Limousine Liberals
by badwaldo s revenge
Now there's a true ring to it. L.A. county is a horribly polluted city with hideous traffic engineering. It makes the square grid of Salt Lake City look logical by comparsion. Idle these limousines..."Hey, dumb valet, here's a Pruis, I'm hopping on the Hummer limo to the red carpet..."
-
..for Happy Feet, hehe.
It took 45 mins before a big award was announced...best supporting actor. That's way too long! In past years it was usually the first...probably the actors union had something to do with the change. -
what the hell is this shit?
-
please stop talking..
-
If only the Caucasian race could survive with pretty women like her.
-
Meryl Streep ftw.
-
...mess with Meryl.
-
I'm not getting the Kidman love in her outfit. I've thought she's hot many times before, but not tonight. Best ass in Hollywood? Quite possibly.
-
Monahan...sorry
-
That's really the only way you could pull this snorefest out of the pit.
-
Ugh, to hell with this.
-
Better than Children of the Corn..er...Men
-
The stupid snow here knocked out a bunch of our channels, including both
ABC affiliates. Now, I have to read Harry's updates to find out what's going on. -
So they'll shaddap.
-
I love Tom Hanks.
-
download it from a link near beginning of this talkback - saved me from harry comments!!
-
and I are all going back to my place for a little "hide the Oscar" later. Video will hit the internet later this week.

One day you will act Tom, one day. If you pray enough to Xenu then all your dreams will come true.
-
You are the saviour, after all.
-
Sure, he's done some stupid stuff, but I still love Tom Cruise. I'd like to see him win an Oscar. He's done a lot of great work, and worked with the most important directors out of any actor out there.
-
Not as pasty and has some meat on her bones.
-
Cruise....humanitarian....he needed some spot to reintroduce himself...
-
Away with you....
-
Away with you....
-
Away with you....
-
and STFU with the Tom Cruise crap, you know you all enjoyed the hell out MI:III
-
*creepy vibe* oh, help, keep away from him! Nice tribute to Sherry Lansing, I once wrote a letter to Sherry asking her to re-release RAIDERS AND THE LOST ARK in theatres to commemorate the 20th anniversary. No reply, nada. *thumb up the nose*
-
JACK
He owns that movie..everyone else was at the top of their game, but JACK was brilliant. -
although not getting into a Tom Cruis argument with talkbackers, i will get skull fucked and raped by woody allen fan boys

HEY, does anyone know what that insturmental song is...
by 'cholera's ghost
that played during the award Tom Cruise is just now handing out to Sheri Lansing?
-
I can't believe he didn't go off on a tangent about how he doesn't agree with it.
Oh well a Kubrick mention really added 30 cool points to that Marie Antoinette winner there. -

Did they forget Supporting Actress? JENNIFER HUDSON EAT
by totallygayforchristianbale
gotta.
-
That's why he's been able to string his career along with crappy potboilers from Paramount.
-
or had a sex change and is now this special oscar winner chick!
-
.. please stop
-
Go hide your closeted self in United Artists and get off my TV, Tom. Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and D.W. Griffith are no doubt rolling in their graves with the news that Crazy Gay Scientologist is now using their company's name for any and all future bullshit he makes.

Ellen's lips have gotten worn out from constant asskiss
by badwaldo s revenge
ing with sucking sound. Blisters and all. Ellen have the penchant for winning favors with them. Oh, oh, Steven Spielberg took a digital camera. Very ordinary, yet fabulously wealthy with fear-inspiring influence in Hollywood...
-
I've only seen three of the Best Picture nominees, and of them I would probably rank both the Departed and Babel higher than Little Miss Sunshine...but its close, and I still haven't seen The Queen or Letters from Iwo Jima. Personally, I think it'd be sort of fun if LMS won a bunch of awards and raised the reputation of "comedy" at the Oscars. But I fear that if it DOES win, Harry and everyone else on this site is going to scream "bloody murder" and turn a sweet, funny little film into a cinephile's pariah. So, if you're reading this Harry, please don't. I loved the Departed, I loved Babel, I loved Little Miss Sunshine. I'll probably love Letters and maybe even The Queen. There is no need to start a backlash...and I'd really like to know what Harry's problem with Little Children's screenplay nomination is ("um, no?" what was that about?)...for someone I respect as a fellow film lover, Harry seems a bit closed-minded tonight.
-
Ellen telling Spielberg how to frame a shot is kinda funny.
-
that's all I have to say about that.
-
that patting on the back and laughing that Wahlberg did with Scorsese over the Eastwood stuff. It's nice when the cast seem like good friends.
-
I can't do blow in public anymore!

I wonder if when they do the tribute to those who have died over the past year, if Anna Nicole Smith will be included
-
when do they introduce the multi-camera-angled academy awards ...So I'll be able to watch the Berg all show long?? if children of men won't win.....AAAAARRRGGHHHH.
-
It has plenty fo greatness, but Children of Men deserves it for the car scene.
-
(Best movie of '06)
-
THREE!!!!!1
-
if pan's wins...or the prestige ...it would be fine...but not right goddamn it....that should be different
-
Yeah, it was great, and clearly the Academy loved it. But come on, that fucking car scene! I'd just hate to be a foreign film up for best picture this year.
-
I just saw him....: ...there he was again...
-
Pans'Labyrenth big winner so far!!!!
-
?????
-
Its getting what it deserves.
-
CHILDREN OF FUCKING MEN!!!
-
Won almost every technical award it was nominated for
-
f time!!
-
So did Pan's Labyrinth. Tough call on that one. Black Dahlia was a tuna of a movie, but Vilmos as the DP rocked!
-
Damn. That was the only Oscar that I was 100% sure about, too.
-
Hey, I loved Pan's Labyrinth as much as the next geek. But Goddamn it man, Children of Men was fucked over in the cinematography. Here's hoping it nabs editing. Give the movie one fucking bone.
-
Aura award used in triple homicide. why do i want to steal and smash that thing?
-
...he'l make a fine tony stark
-
You kick so much ass.
-
Yummy. That is all.
-
Go Pirates.
-
go iron man
-
awesome joke, naomi cant read
-
cool. awesome. GREAT GREAT IRON MAN
-
Robert Downey Junior....enough to ease my pain...
-
And Bill Nihey was one of the greatest characters on film last year.
-
I think harry has been around and jizzed his super contagious 'Pan's Labyrinth rules the fucking world' love juice in all the Oscar voters coffee, CofM should have won that one.
-
...Best Foreign Film. I'm sure Guillermo the DP is a great guy, but those two shots in Children Of Men are fucking mind-blowing.
-
Still, yay Pirates.
-
foreign film?

Shakes, they should include Anna Nicole's huge boobs
by badwaldo s revenge
in that shower scene from "Skycraper" in the obituary montage. Input "Anna Nicole Smith boyfriend" on youtube for worst acting ever. The new O.J., but the mainstream media is controlled by the faction. It's a murder mystery and the killer has escaped in the new luxury yacht bought with blood inheritance money, what a sad ending.
-
yummy.....
-
Bravo!
-
As much as I LOVED Pan's Labyrinth, I think the cinematography award should've gone to Children of Men. No contest.
And getting Spielberg to take the picture was fucking BRILLIANT. -
Lubezki. I guess it's tough when the Academy latches onto a film so much.
-
SAP where are you when in need you?
-
Anyone know a place to find the show online on video or audio?
-
the donger needs food!!!
-
He looks perfect for it!!!
Not to mention that mid nineties drug joke was priceless! -
finally one of my beloved montages.
-
I'm already looking forward to see and hear Ennio Morricone..
-
What is this, Rocky IV ?
-
TEN COMMANDMENTS winning an Oscar for best visual effects is a joke. There's freakin' thick black matte lines all over that film. FORBIDDEN PLANET should have won.
-
I'd go see a Tyler Perry movie. I mean, jesus ... I can't understand any of that jibberish.
-
But I'm just nitpicking.
-
Only a directing god who makes a film as good as Cinema paradiso could make that ontage, every scene is fantastic. Makes me feel small that i've seen so few of them - hope there is a list of the films in this montage sometime soon after Oscars, I want to watch them all!!!
-
Sit on my lap Naomi Watts. You're adorable. I agree with POTC best visual effects. Those tenticals on davey jones looked real to me.

They all deserved acting awards for that.

Clive Owen should start a sudden rant about the lack of COM.

I am deeply sorry.

UH OH HARRY

Yes, Pan's Labyrinth lost a Best Foreign Film Oscar
by badwaldo s revenge
Karma! Wonderful speech by a German director "The Lives of Others". Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the numerous greatest achievers of the late 20th century. Guillermo looks bummed until he got a big hug from the German. Nice, nice.
-
it was a good effort, Donnersmarck is a good guy, the cast was good, the film was not as good as PAN'S...I am ready for a LMS win...I just got reminded that this is the oscars...not the best win. the shadow thing...necessary to parody it

SNAKES ON A PLANE TRIBUTE AT THE OSCARS WTF SHIT
by totallygayforchristianbale
-
If we needed proof about Oscars going downhill, the Snakes on a Plane shadow did it.
-
'They're naked...'
-
Fuck the spics. Long live the krauts.
-
that snakes on a plane thing was sooooo kewl.
and on a separate note, I think talkback broke down for a couple of minutes when best foreign movie winner was announced. -
That's some strange shit their smoking back stage!

She was so good.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS GOES TO JENNIFER HUDSON
by totallygayforchristianbale
FUCK THAT AMERICAN IDOL FAT WHORE!
-
The Asian chick was the only thing I liked about Babel.
-
Oscar credibility takes yet another hit.
-
Be prepared to go the way of Tatum O'Neal, you karaoke cow.
-
*cough*bullshit*cough*
-
goddamn bitch
-
WHAT was so good about Hudson? She sang well, sure. Rinko was a fucking powerhouse though and didn't even say a word.
-
Yes, folks, American Dream do come true. :*-( for Rinko, that was a sublime & devastatingly quiet performance.
-
Pan's Labyrinth loses....Almost every other supporting actress deserved it more than the winner...
This is why I never watch the oscars...and it was going so well...if they rob Marty I'm taking it personal. -
F*ck that, Pan's should have won, and should have been nominated over Little Miss Sunshine for best picture (it was good, not that good)...
-
Shows over folks
-
Snakes...
-
The man's a class act and one of the few people in H'Wood under 50 who wears a tux like he was born to.
-
Pan's Labyrinth got snubbed. What the hell? And so did Eddie Murphy. Jennifer Hudson deserved it, though, so that was good.
-
Simon Cowell just shit a brick.
-
I liked the movie and all, but get over it, damn. :)
-
dreamers ftw.
-
Reality shows are pieces of shit that coarsen and lessen our culture.
-
the hottest baby ever
-
She was the best part of that movie
-
If Hudson AND Murphy both got snubbed, you know Spike Lee woulda been ranting and raving about discrimination.

rip it up bro
-
What a perfect show. That and "Arrested Development".
-
Can't win them all. The nice thing is that we all get to watch these wonderful films, win or lose.
-
why isn't he hosting?
-
So I guess Jack's bald head is for that movie where he's playing a cancer patient, eh?
-
clever man
-
It's so true.
-
Everybody else in that movie basically just acted like idiots, but she was the only one that got any sympathy.
-
Why isn't he the host!? Probably wanted a ridiculous amount of casj.
-
He got more laughs than anyone.
-
inco tru gets it
-
Yeah, seriously, he needs to make some sort of comeback in a big way.
-
Commenting on Oscars when they're still on? Far too soon! And too golden!
-
Hot though. Hey! LAwrence Bender's up there!
-
Fuck him in his stupid, loser ass. How predictable. A bullshit standing ovation. I hate those fuckers.
-
LOL!
-
Jesus..........why the frak do I even watch anymore.
-
Gets repetitive after 30 minutes, and the song was terrible. Still, it gets the message out/
-
oh larry.
-
Larry David!
-
I saw the scenes from THE BICYCLE THIEF...nice finish. Leonardo DiCaprio said it's the best film he's ever seen. I couldn't agree more. Simple yet brutally evocative. Um, I haven't seen AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH but Roger Ebert gets in my face to tell me "You owe it to yourself to see this film". Ok, sure, I'll rent that with HAPPY FEET as a companion piece. Al the marshmallow puff adds an Oscar alongside his Ivy League degree frame on the wall.

na, it's for his next movie... He plays a cancer patient with Morgan Freeman...
-
This man...blah blah blah...suck Gores cock already
-
F'n greatest composer ever.
-
but Scorsese is overdue. Just win it next year Eastwood, please.
-
...MANBEARPIG!
-
I love this guy
-
for a movie (Dreamgirls), that (obviously) you immature geeks did'nt see? Do you diddle your blow-up dollies with those keystroke fingers of yours? "Fat Whore; Shut up bitch" Y'all are some of the most racist as mutha fuckas. She wins and all of a sudden it becomes the "Black Award"? What kind of chitlins is that?
-
YES!Most deserved Oscar of the night!
-
I still can't believe THE LIVES OF THE OTHERS won. I can't fucking believe it. It's wrong and also cool. I was actually a bit disappointed by the film's style...
It's just insane how screwed up these Awards are. And the insanity is the only thing you can count on: Clive Owen, star in one of the best films of the last year that doesn't get oscar recognition gives the award NOT to the film that was the best in the category, the film that took away the well deserved Award of the the Clive Owen film... it's so insane that I can't even make a correct sentence out of it. Ennio Morricone. Another example of snubbing. Let's enjoy his greatness. btw: this is not the first time Clint has funny little problems with the teleprompter. -
MOST DESERVED OSCAR OF THE NIGHT!

They should show the "L'Arena" scene from Kill Bill 2..
by danielkurland

by flim springfield

celene dion?.. nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
-
Good Lord I thought we had seen the last of her boring, mechanical, no real talent flat ass.
-
Ann Gehty and Dion in one Calander...holding babies in cabbage patch outfits...such genious!
-
to play only the boring melodramatic music he scored. What about the fucking weird giallo music he did? And only one snippet from his western ouvre? BOOOOOORRRRRRRRINGGGG
-
I'm all for it.Just as long as O'Toole gets one too.
-
Some good stuff and some not so good stuff
-
the message of this stunning montage and the whole night: SNUBBING EQUALS GREATNESS. BE HAPPY TO BE IGNORED. God bless Morricone
-
I saw all of the films in the Supporting Actress categories this year and Jennifer deserves it hands down. Sure, she sang well, but she did something else while she sang. She acted. And her ACTING and the emotional response it got out of viewers is what caused them to give standing ovations in the theater. The song did nothing for me but I saw her heart getting ripped out (not literally - that would have been awesome) while she sang.
As for Rinko, she rocked as well. Just not as hard (no pun intended. Get it? She was naked. Guys got... nevermind.) -
I think Celine Dion's face is on sideways.
-
celion... wow
-
That music is awesome
-
Why is Michael Schumacher singing and wearing a dress?
-
Sigh. I rest my case.
-
Her husband's still alive?
-
Morricone could give a fuck. Freaky fuckin' Dion lips.
-
Only his mainstream Oscary movies. No ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST????? How about WHO SAW HER DIE? Awesome music. But they would never touch it.
-
Feb 25, 2007 9:59:44 PM CST
The Departed was overated. Good film but overrated.
by allpowerfulwizardofoz
Sorry Goodfellas is still his best film. I liked The Departed but there are a few things about it I did not like.
1. Jack. He's the same fucking guy in every movie. I just can't get past that.
2. Something about the flow of that movie did not work for me. It felt forced.
Again the movie was good but not Oscar worthy IMO. I will not be disappointed if it does not win. I will be if it does because I don't think it is deserving.
Scorcese is a great director and the only reason I see them giving it to him is for that reason and not really for the movie itself.
Should have won it for Goodfellas. Best movie ever. -
She needs to devour a sould before she leaves the stage...eat someones soul you crazy bitch!
-
You rule, sir.
-
The best thing about him is he's just genuinely in love with what he's doing. He's always laughing, having a good time and just talking and referencing older movies. That's exactly what a director should be.
-
how envious Beyonce looked when Hudson was gushing up there? ...not in a hateful way...just a very bittersweet, "man, I want that to be me" way. I enjoyed that.
-
Or is he just guessing? haha. Geez, the Academy couldn't spring for a translator?
-
"Ahhh, what are those noises comming out of his mouth?" Also, Eastwood speaks Italian, awesome.
-
Is one of my all time favorite movies...and scores.
-
I'm not gonna kill her I'm just gona watch her die on her own!!!
-
Did you see Chow Yun Fat's face? That's awesome.
-
clint translating enio in english while some stupid bitch is trying to translate clint in croatian.
gods, I hate watching oscars on local tv stations... -
clint translating ennio in english while some stupid bitch is trying to translate clint in croatian.
gods, I hate watching oscars on local tv stations... -
Call me crazy, but isn't that his greatest score? It didn't even get a mention in the scroll of film names at the end of the montage...
and so I say to you, What the fuck?
I am happy for EM though... -
...or is he just that cool?
-
I thought so at first, but then I rewatched it. Twice. EXTREMELY nuanced work. I agree Goodfellas was better, but since he got assraped for that one, I have no problem at all if the academy gives him a make-up award ... especially in a year with no clear winner. Dudes speaking Italian makes for outstanding, riveting TV. I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I'm sleeping my way through the workday tomorrow.
-
Pan's Labyrinth was robbed of Best Foreign. Fuck the Academy, fuck them where they breathe.
-
coming up shortly...
-
I just saw it and, for whatever faults may be found with the movie, the costumes were amazing. When I heard the designer also won for Barry Lyndon, my enthusiasm for this win went up even more: Barry Lyndon is simply an amazing Kubrick film, and everyone who loves him MUST see it...its extraordinary.
-
Yeah, that might very well be his best. Once Upon A Time In America is close for me, though...
-
And Clint needs his glasses.
(From Once Upon a Time in America, by the way)
-

that whole speech in italian was totally tits.
by totallygayforchristianbale
that was great. i didn't know clint could speak italian, that was all mostly accurate. zoinks scoob
-
when you hear an old guy ramble off in Italian for awhile, you learn to just smile and nod.
-
During that entire translation all that was going through his head is "Allison is a dirty dirty Whore"
-
That's Ken Watanabe, and yeah...it was funny!
-
Uh, yeah, so like, I guess they really did fire all their human workers. Is that supposed to make them seem warm and fuzzy?
-
i just went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I still look kind of normally uglily good for five o'clock in the morning, four beers and so much anger.
-

Eastwood - even more of a pimp than previously thought.
by happyhamster
Didn't realize he spoke Italian. If I ever were to go gay and have a sexual relationship with an older man, he would be it.
-
Whoops.
Also, The Departed is not overrated. The first 20 minutes of that film were better than most entire films i've seen. -

-
They did a really funny "alternate ending" on The Daily Show where the robot blew its oily "brains" out. Hysterical.
-
Couldn't $KY have sprung for someone better. Like Holly Willoughby or that fit Scottish bird from GMTV.
-
my favorite part of every Oscar broadcast. And of course Clint speaks Italian. He spent the first decade of his career over there making spaghetti westerns.

Marty's best work are Taxi Driver & King of Comedy
by badwaldo s revenge
hands down. Raging Bull didn't do much for me and Goodfellas was alright. Please, The Departed better not win Best Pic or Dir. Marty's worst work since Bringing Out the Dead, period. Whoa, Hugh Jackson is taller than Penelope Cruz. Penelope looks delicious.
-
no way there finishing on time
-
hug or something. Yeah, Goodfellas was better, no one is denying that, but that obviously can't win. Coming from someone who has seen and owns every Scorsese movie, Departed is probably in his top five movies in my opinion. It's not better than Goodfellas,but it's still insanely great.
-
no way they're finishing on time
-
Again: Jackman is presenting an Award that should go to the fucking FOUNTAIN. Fuck them. I love Newman, Glass (can't remember their scores) and the Pan score, though. Mmmhh..Babel was also quite good.
-
...and they'd both tell you to "go f*ck yaself, Boston style...hahahaha...I kid. I kid.
-
it'd be great to see a Fulci clip on the Oscars.
-
I was a little disappointed that Children of Men didn't take Best Cinematography, but since it lost to Pan's I couldn't stay mad for long. This is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining oscars ever...lots of surprises and little touches that are emphasizing the WORK that goes into filmmaking. Its a wonderful antidote to the anti-Hollywood sentiments of Faux News who make the entire film industry look like nothing more than celebrity worshippers and fashionistas. Kudos!!
-
By the way this show is going they act like they have all night. -- oh here they go, they're fast forwarding.
-
Jack: "Shaving?.... Shaving?"
-
Daddy Warbucks. Or Lex Luthor.
-
Just wondering who the lady friend is.
-
and the nominated are... Harry dies at the end. oops!
-
Is it me, or was that last guitar/mandolin piece at the end of "Babel" used years ago in the first season of 24? And also several times in "Deadwood?"
-
Come on, give it to Guillermo...
-
this has to be a new record for him
-
He managed to get all those 50 films from Tornatore montage clip written down. fucking impressed.
-
translate for Morricone. The man basically expressed himself through music and just listening to him speak in spanish for accepting the award was amazing enough.
-
no pan's

Little Miss Sunshine was great...
-
It was italian lol. But yes, beautiful language.
-
Fuck the haters. And BadWaldo, I'm glad you also appreciate the brilliance of King of Comedy.
-
I really like each movie's introduction before the award is given. --damn I really hate little miss sunshine
-
Check around her ankles. Those suckers have been drooping for a while now.
-
that is all.
-
Little Miss Sunshine. Its not funny, it makes National Lampoons Vacation look like Citizen Kane mixed with Airplane.
-
I love Kinnear's grin. It's enough now, Little Miss Sunshine! No more wins, I SAID!!!!
-
Dunst looked hot in Virgin Suicides.
-
Pan's can't win everything.
-
That Devil Wears Prada shadow dance proves it.
-
He's a legend.
-
Del Toro was hurt by the fact that he also directed...leaving his screenplay's interpretation only to himself.
-
Get over it.

Or is it the dress?

Fucking pissed off that Pan's lost best Foreign Film!!
by jimmylonewolf
Guaranteed the intense subject matter and violence turned them off. Fuckers!! Then Jennifer Hudson won...well, I can't really complain since I was hoping Murphy wouldn't win (because I liked all four other nominees better...even though he WAS superb in Dreamgirls)) and sure enough, he didn't. Honestly, I didn't think either of the two Babel nominees were better than the other...so awarding it to one of them would have been unfair. Cate Blanchett has won before, so I'm not heartbroken that she lost. It would have been wonderful to see Abigail Breslin win though, but this was Jennifer's moment...and I'm so thrilled that someone who "America didn't vote for" on that cheesy TV show has outshone the likes of Carrie Underwood and that "Soul Patrol" fruitcake. I say, good for her!!! But man, Pan's losing...I thought for sure guillermo would be up there...I'm fucking hurting right now...
-
woah...i guess we should all kind of hate him now.
-
I don't think Fox News will have any shortage of material with the Al Gore win and the guy literally wetting himself out of admiration.
And that Ugly Betty actress just embarassed herself at the Independed Spirit Awards saying she won't be "free" until 2008. And all of the other imprisoned actors and actresses roared with approval. As long as Hollywood types act like this, there will be a Fox News. -
She's a legend.
-
Yeah let's make a movie with all these characters that are polar opposites and then make them related, yeah, oh, and one of them never speaks, oh but he'll speak eventually, he he, he'll speak plenty. and then what? oh, a motivational speaker, heh, that'll be good. So innovative - so crap.
-
I watched it. Other then Arkin that movie was shit. Not as funny as I was hyped up to believe.
-
Loved them both, but neither are fucking classics - LMS will be forgotten very quickly, Pan's labyrinth is a stayer though.
-
I never thought of comparing Al Gore to Jor-El, but I can't think of anything better.
-
Her tits are about to fall out of her dress....
-
That's Jennifer's song. I bet she wouldn't dare butt in on Listen.
-
I hope Beyonce and Hudson kill each other on the stage in front of billions.
-
I can’t take watching it live. Too many dance numbers. Please continue to cut to the chase. Thanks.
-
Gambers2000 has my vote for quote of the night!Very appropriate.
-
My girlfriend dragged me to it, and damn if I didn't enjoy the hell out of it.
-
She is so determined to not be upstaged by Hudson
-
I actually can't believe Beyonce is letting someone else sing this.
-
Celine Dion (Who I hate with a passion) fucking blows both these 2 out of the water when singing live. You would think Beyonce was coming from American Idol too. Bring in the Cowell!
-
but this is giving me headache. I never liked this style of singing.
-
That is NOT singing
-
That'd be cool.
-
why not just have Hudson sing it? It was hers in the film, anyway. I hate when they do that kind of crap. (Everyone gets a turn now, children!)
-
So I figured Pan's Labyrinth would lose best foreign film, oh well. Typical old voters mentality that serious drama makes better movies. And why was Celine Dion there, because Ennio Morricone wrote that?
-
Please just trim an hour from the show. Unloading all the bullshit musical disasters would be a great start. Have some mercy on - you know - those of us who actually have jobs so we can buy tickets to your horseshit movies and support your limousine liberal ways.
-
yes, memento, I'm glad they stayed in,...so far. one more annoying thing about the foreign oscar, I know none cares about: I had actually hoped for a better speech by donnersmarck.
-
...with all the cheesy jokes...the creepy shadow people...if it really is worth staying up late on the east coast to see Marty get his first Oscar. Cause damn.
-
Hey, Jennifer Hudson's kinda hot for a thick sista. At least she eats like a normal human being. Kirsten Dunst, Cameron Diaz, and Brittany Murphy look fucking ridiculous by comparison.
-
Can DG blow Best Original song?
-
Bounce (A joke people) Knowles wasn't the only thing bouncing during that dreamgirls number!!!
-
Christ that song sucked.
-
but which is which...?
-
ugh!
-
do all these fucking songs sound the same?? I haven't seen Dreamgirls but this has super pissed me off, these soungs sound waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fucking similar to all get nominated - sort it out you old retarded Oscar voters.
-
Dreamgirls would have to be a lock here, i'd think...
-
No I don't have patience. This is fucking horrible.

Sounds like a porno DVD title, no?
-
referring to my post 1 min ago, the oscars have redeemed themselves a little, in fact they've made me laugh a lot - give em hope by voting a MUSCIAL 3 times in same category - and then give the oscar to a documentray, haha is it just me that finds that fucking funny?

Melissa E. bravely declare her woman partner "wife"
by badwaldo s revenge
...that takes guts to declare love to the world, like that male animated short film winner declared his love for a male partner a few years ago. Gay marriage in California? Maybe. It seems the Academy deliver their political opinion in form of handing out Oscars to Inconvenient Truth, I thought the Academy geezers are Dick Nixon-Cheney conservative who hate anything green, even Kermit the Frog.
-
...a slew of Oscars -- including BEST PICTURE!
But alas! This has turned into one giant LIB-FEST! At least it wasn't so blatantly social-leftist as last year.
:( -
Chick from Popular.
-
at this point, they owe Scorsese one.
-
For not being (at least) nominated for original song for Happy Feet.
-
They have to scream out those one note roles! It's all about standing out! "the car's its own character" ugh, please no more
-
Jebus Christ, those are big!
-
"" and now, folks, another montage about America to show that we REALLY don't hate America. No, really."
-
yeah!
-
O.k. The score for Babel was pretty good. (I'd have gone with Pan's Labyrinth among the nominees.) Question, though. Gustavo actually recycled at least one piece of music he used for another film (The Insider), and it's a rather pivotal scene. Does anyone know if any other music was recycled? And doesn't that seem like a bit of a cheat? It's cool music and all, Gustavo does a great job...I just think that if a film is going to win the Oscar for best score that ideally the music should have been composed specifically for that film.
-
"Apparently if the song has a message you like, it beats songs that are actually good." ... I hope you weren't talking about those three Dreamgirl songs, because those were complete garbage.
-
how much I loved what Scorsese did with the color palette for that film.
-
obviously ABC and the Academy don't give a shit about people with jobs and lives .... so fuck this. TIVO for the rest of the night, fast forward in the morning. Thanks for 4 hours of homoerotic shadow dancing and jibbering in languages I don't understand for very critical categories like best assistant sound editing.

frak!
-
When directors keep the same editors through their careers, like with Scorsese and Thelma Scoonmaker, and Tarantino and Sally Menke.
-
And that accent gets me all exicted.
-
...of watching these Hollywood celebs pat one another on the back (while sharing their political and social views) for films that were by and large less than par. *Yawn. Wake me up after Little Miss Sunshine most likely wins BEST PICTURE.
-
hahahahahahahahahha
-
You heard it hear first.
-
the departed fucking deserved this. without the editing, michael ballhaus says, nicholson had ruined it. but children of men....is gone... There should be an IN MEMORIAM segment for Children Of Men
-
Wouldn't it be interesting if Mirren and Whitaker also lost?
-
Nick Adams still owns your ass!
-
in the john before the show ends if he doesn't win this thing.

-
amount of talent this past year. Mako. I forgot about him.
-
I noticed that about the "Babel" score, too. The piece of music they played is called, "Iguazu" and it has appeared on Deadwood as well. In fact, I believe it was played after Wild Bill was killed.
-
Or did I miss hers? Maybe it's still 'too soon' and there is that whole trial thing.
-
Damn hot
-
Kelly.... No excuse for that.
-
First thought that hit me was this means there's about another hour left to the show when that comes on.Second thought is this part gets more depressing every year. You know you're getting old when you see these people flash on the screen and it hits you how much you loved them as a kid.
-
it wasnt put together very elegantly, I gotta agree on that ...but the pieces were cool...and insightful
-
...the opening seconds of the Deadwood THEME as well?
-
Sorry, but that's the truth.
-
When they showed Scotty I teared up :P...when they showed Altman it only got worse.
-

Make no mistake, people may blame 2000 on Nader or the Supreme Court... but Tipper Gore's PMRC antics probably cost Al more votes than Nader did. Not everyone has a five second attention span, and I know I'm not the only one who had the PMRC on their mind in 2000 when election time rolled around. I sure as shit couldn't vote for a fucking Bush, and I also sure as shit couldn't give Tipper Gore the clout of being first fucking lady. Sat the election out, I did - in retrospect that was a mistake. And yes, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD fucking rules.
-
Oh, who the F am I kidding?
-
If only to convince her to keep doing films like Volver and to avoid the awful American films she's done.

that skank can't die dead enough

I wonder what she was like 20 years ago.

I mean what the fuck dude. Great actor but jesus christ comb your fucking hair!
-
Is the lib-fest over yet? I keep hearing the sound of liberal butt smooching (except from Helen Mirren). I suppose that Hollywood is in its element! :P
-
No wonder Arthur cheated.
-
what exactly did they shoot? eww.
-
is such an ass. Shut the fuck up about oscar pools
-
Is that these people think they're actually THAT important.
-
There is not a conservative in the house (except those that are in the closet in order to keep finding work)!
-
Didn't hear Philippe Noiret died, bummer. Sven Nykvist too...all those great Bergman films. Anyhow, go Scorcese, go. I can feel it coming in the air tonight....
-
Wow, an actual classy speech with no political pontificating.
-
I've lost 3.5 hours of my life to the worst fucking Oscar ceremony ever so I refuse to pack it in. BUT...if Ellen Degeneres makes another crack about going over, thus stretching this piece of shit longer, I'm gonna...well, go to bed. I have hated just about every second of this show.

It's fine if you didn't like it, but to call a movie "bad" is such a subjective thing. Tons of audiences and critics loved the movie, so obviously it didn't something right. Unless a movie is really communally hated, it's tough to say that it's awful, as opposed to you saying that it's awful in your opinion.

by badwaldo s revenge
I'm like a wolf in that Tex Avery cartoon short. Ryan Gosling deserve the Oscar imo, I love sublimely convincing neo-realist performances. Last great neo-realist performance was Bjork in DANCER IN THE DARK, that was a mind-fuck cinematic experience...
-
An Oscar now, and an Emmy later this year for ER. Good job.
-
...unlike DiCrappio. Too bad for O'Toole though. He rocks!
-
Just thought I'd add to the Helen Mirren naked goodness. NSFW obviously!!
http://members.fortunecity.com/noops009/fcnoops_helen_mirren1.html -
just...weird. I don't know why, he just does.
-
Man that eye drives me nuts
-
She's been the best thing in this entire show. Yowza. Jessica Biel's a close second, though.
-
Cuaron and Lubezki had me more viscerally connected to a movie screen than I have been in a L-O-N-G time! Perhaps years. I felt like I was seeing something fresh. Raw and real like a seventies film for the new century. This is my first ever talkback. I registered just now specifically to post my incredulity that such a SUPREMELY worthy film could go unrecognized by the academy. UN-believable!
-
I so love Whitaker. He's so real. I love his spirituality.
-
probably the best performance i've ever seen in my life, and the most deserved award of the night for sure. Anyone who says different has not seen Last King of Scotland!

Fucking great. One of the greatest directors ever finally gets his due. Awesome.
-
Marty wins!
-
Scorsese wins, and all these previous fuck ups of the night can be overlooked.
-
Why else bring out the next 3 best directors (Lucas maybe not but you get the idea, and foreign directors excluded cos the Academy hates them)
-
recognition. Way to go Marty
-
Gotta love the sympathy vote.

finally!

by totallygayforchristianbale
That's all, folks.

Marvel at the lesser of someone genius. There's no way that Marty should've won for The Departed. It's like when they awarded the best actor award to that phone-thrower for Gladiator instead of awarding him for his cigarette snitching role. BAH!
-
Fucking deserved it. Oh, hell yeah.
-
You only see that in Hollywood. And congrats to Departed.
-
hit the button three times... slow computer / connection.
-
I knew the old beards were up to something...such a great moment of pure zen..awkward and cute handing this thing over to him...and then Spielberg helping Scorsese realizing he just won..did i miss something or did babel win anything?
-
It fucking cleaned up. I kind of wish Babel won more as it was my 2nd favorite movie behind The Departed, but what can you do? Pan's Labyrinth got it's due, and so did Little Miss Sunshine. Nice to see DiCaprio getting this accolade at the end, but with all of the discussion about how much of a problem Nicholson was, I kind of wish he wasn't getting so much praise. And the Oscars finish almost an hour late.
-
Sorry, the last 30 minutes of "The Departed" sucks.
-
The normal outcome at these events. Thank the Lord and every angel in the whole of heaven that Little Miss Sunshine didn't get it though. The Departed might be average but its a million billion times better than that pile of shit.
-
...in your movie to win a best picture oscar:
you just end it with HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT!
KILLING SPREE!!!!11 :p -
Is the random trivia as people approach the stage for their awards, announed in an overly excited, cheerful voice. "She's been nominated 3 times and suffers from irritable bowel syndrome!" Who cares????
-
The Departed?!?
Hollywood certainly does not reflect the ideas of normal Americans. I think that too much marijuana and vodka has blocked the creativity in southern California. Doh! -
Im glad at least MARTY thanked andy lau...The Departed was sweet.
-
Sweet. Go me.
-
Worst Oscars since Whoppie hosted.
-
...even Asian audience patrons LAUGHED at the shootouts and murders towards the ending, because it's THAT tacky and over the top. When I saw the movie, it was good in the first half hour then went downhill with Marky Mark's contrived performance and Alec Baldwin trying to out-Pacino Al Pacino in overacting. Jack's a Jack when he shows up as a three-dildo-juggling clown. Martin Sheen's shit as a timid tvland police chief, that police chief in ROBOCOP would kick his ass anyday. The romantic interlude is awful, ridiculously awful that goes nowhere but pad the length. The ending with a stupid pest scurrying in a high-rise luxury condo...how low can Marty and co go with idiotic unsubtlety? Is this a comedy or a drama or a thriller? INFERNAL AFFAIRS may be Asian shit, but it's a lot more exciting than this turd of a movie. Academy geezers and smoozy commie liberals overcame their common sense and judgement and voted The Departed to demonstrate their taste. The Queen or Babel ought to win. Yet another injustice perpetrated >:-(
-
marty won, good for him but he should have won earlier...
departed = best picture NO WAY... average movie, a remake that was done way to close to the original. Babel should have won. -
scorsese now has the same amount of oscars as does three 6 mafia.
-
Except for the 4,327 uses of the "F" word, it seemed like it!
So Scorsese won for the worst film of his career? "Gangs of New York" was much better!!!
Worst. Oscars. Ever!
I think I will be sick from this blatant lib-fest! I want my 4 hours back!!! -
To see Marty win and then for his picture to get the honor too. I'm so happy. "The Departed" was a wonderful film and remake or no, it was that and I feel deserved to win. I think it was an amazing end to an otherwise *sigh*, too long Oscar. I guess they knew it would end on a high, *g*, and we wouldn't need that bottle of scotch after all. Yeah! I do wish Mark won, but still, 4 wins is an awesome thing.
-
Fucking deserved it. Oh, hell yeah.
-
...not for the movie that someone else already made a better version of less than five years ago.
-
some of you peoples expectations for the movie were set completely over the top..
and how can any Oscars show "blow" when Marty finally gets that Best Director nod.. congrats
and awesome that Whitaker gets his (i'm going to watch Ghost Dog right now!!) -

You're honestly saying The Departed was a bad movie?...
by danielkurland
You're just bitter, spoiled people then. That's fine if you didn't think it should be best picture. Babel was certainly more moving and relevant, but to say the Departed wasn't well made is just assinine. The direction, acting, cinematography, homages to Hawks...Stop complaining.
-
I'm still ticked about the lack of Pan's Best Foreign Film award but...at least it didn't drive me too insane...
-
IA + unnecessary plot lines + leo's whiny bad-ass + hammy nicholson + deserpate scorcese oscar bid = THE DEPARTED

-
I missed all but the last 15 minutes of the awards, blessedly getting to see the good stuff without too much Oscrap, but what was up with Nicolson? Why did he make Diane do all the talking? anyone know?
-
He already won the Thalberg award 15 years ago.
-
DO OR DO NOT!!! THERE IS NO TRY!!!
-
should make like a tree and get out of here!
The Departed's only weak point was the love story, everything else was top notch. I just watched IA and I like that film better than the departed, but the departed was amazing. JACK WAS BRILLIANT!!! THE MUSIC, THE EDITING, MARTIN FINALLY GETS HIS!
I CANT WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!!!
Hey even HAMLET was an adaptation... -
What, because you don't know anybody who worked on it?
-
I said it...
-
Jack looks like a hard-edge Paul Shaffer.
-
How on Earth did it win Best Picture?!? The film wasn't nearly as good as, say, Pan's Labyrinth.
Worst. Oscar Night. Ever.
:( -
That is all.
-
You earned it.
-
For instance, I thought The Departed WAS better than Pan's Labyrinth.
-
that Marty is somehow not as good as Kubrick and Hitchcock, because he's not in their special bad-boy club for film rebels. Film rebels... who make thier own rules: kill clean, and don't let dames get in the way.
-
Is there any hope for next year?
-
And it should have really won best pic. While the DEPARTED was a sleak and classy cop/crime drama and not much more, LETTERS will ultimately make a much more important mark in film history. You all know it.
-
Be. More. Melodramatic.
-
Damn, I searched by feelings, and whadaya know? ^_^ Too bad my vision of a fistfight between Marty and Dirty Harry didn't pan out...
-
Yes, this is a shame and an embarassment. In a couple of years the Academy will be ASHAMED that it awarded a slick but not that impressive remake over real ORIGINAL IMPORTANT movies like Babel, Queen and even Letters.
Than, Children of Men loosing best Cinematography? WTF??? THIS IS A FUCKING CRIME.
And Babel winning only the score (which it shouldn't have won)? Departed's straighworward editing over the mosaic that is Babel? WTF???
I can go on and on but this sucks people! This ia crazy fucking year. -
Hell has frozen over.....right?
-
a lifetime acheivement oscar is better than any other oscar. Peter O Toole should be satisfied. To get a lifetime acheivement means you didnt just get lucky by the studio hype, we are sure you deserve it.
-
This in some ways is the biggest shock of the night.
-
My god I must be getting old. I thought it was a pretty good show. Degeneres was good, one of the better hosts imo. The problem is still theres too many technical awards that arent of interest and that makes the show drag.
-
The Lives of Others was the best movie of the year hands down, glad it won best foriegn at least. Departed come on you guys they are not giving it to the Departed they are giving it up to Scorsese and for ignoring him for years. Jennifer Hudson was the only award I shrugged on I mean she was alright. Still Pan's got a lot of stuff I just think Editing should have gone to Children of Men I mean come on that some of the best editing ever! Still great awards were given and when I saw Altman on the departed montage I almost cried. I'm glad the Departed won in the end but it should have been Letters of Iwo Jima but still amazing!
-
err I need to watch Infernal Affairs again....
-
Wow, Wow, Wow
Infernal Affair won the best picture of the year in Hong Kong's own Golden Statue Awards, now the US remake (The Departed) has won the best picture Oscar Award.
-
Aviator deserved everything over Million Dollar Baby, and LETTERS deserved over DEPARTED.
-
This was a great moment in film and for that generation of revolutionary filmmakers that came out of the 70's. Maybe DePalma would have joined them if he hadn't made the shitiet film of the year. And I am so sick of all the Lucas-bitching already. Get over yourselves. In the land of Hollywood, Lucas is king!!!
-
The Departed? One of the best films in the last 20 years? You haven't gone to the movies very often, have you? Don't get me wrong, the film is pretty good. But is it GREAT?!? ... ... ... ... The original film that this REMAKE was based upon was BETTER! Martin Scorsese is certainly a good director. But history will show that he won for his weakest film. Letters from Iwo Jima was better. So was Little Miss Sunshine. Heck, Children of Men was better! Oh well.
-
Scorcese wins. Crash 2...I mean Babel loses. Lives of Others wins - better on every level than Pan's. Alan walks away with supporting. Great, great, great.
-
But it was far from Martin's best work. The shoot out and finale were too neatly concluded for my liking. And I'm with the guy above who said Jack is Jack in everything he does. Too over the top hammy acting for this work. I would have preferred Bill Hurt in this role (a la his turn in 'A History of Violence'). I'm glad Marting won his Oscar finally, but I would have rather seen it for Goodfellas or The Aviator. Between TD and both Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men, CofM is the best picture of the 3.(IMO)
-
I'm glad you finally got your Oscar, thought. How low the cinematic bar has fallen when The Departed wins Best Picture. Take out the big stars and you have a very average cop movie. The rat scene at the end would have never made it in a film school movie.
United 93 and Children of Men were the Best Pictures of last year.
F Jackie.
F Timmy. -
I'm sorry but The Aviator was gayer than Lance Bass.
-
Al gore-not winning things he actually won
-
...almost as much as it hate conservatives and Christians! But it would be nice to allow Stephen Spielberg to direct Episodes 7, 8 and 9. ;)
-
backstage one of the reporters pulled out her "You're a black person who won an award!!!!" question for the 100th time, and she was like "Yeah, I think this is, like, my 3rd time for everything. 3rd on the Vanity Fair cover, 3rd best actress..."
-
There won't be a 7, 8, or 9. Back to the Soapbox, gay boy.
-
the ability to adapt the burecratic apparatus SO WELL makes it an instant classic! And JACK was snubbed big time...
-
shot in the back of their heads, except for Scorsese, Morricone... and some other few i forgot... and O'Toole who btw will be doing the executions.
-
"Ryan Gosling! You're all 'hip' and 'now'..well, I'm gonna break your hip..RIGHT NOW!"
-
Stop just trying to be dramatic. You're saying it's worse than Boxcar Bertha, New York, New York, and MAYBE The Color of Money?

here how mine shook out, only had departed in there: #10
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
This direct-to-DVD computer animated movie probably won’t make a lot of sense to anyone who hasn’t played the seminal videogame, Final Fantasy IV. However, this film absolutely draw-dropping and astounding to watch, making sense of it be damned. Advent Children gives all Pixar movies a run for the title of “Best-looking CGI film ever”. And, with all the hyper-kinetic direction, it has some of the most craziest, biggest, and awesomest action scenes of all year. For action junkies, CGI fans, video game buffs, and anime freaks, this is worth checking out.
#9
United 93
Shot with immediate and visceral you-are-there handheld direction, Director Paul Greengrass’ take on the doomed flight that crashed into Pennsylvania on 9/11 is unforgettable in its realistic, documentary-style. You feel every moment of that condemned flight as Greengrass takes you inside the final flight of United 93. The way the film builds to its inevitable climax that creates one of the tensest thrillers of all year. Very moving, shatteringly powerful, and a hellova lot better than Oliver Stone’s take on that same day.
#8
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
There’s a reason the flick grossed 400+ million dollars - because its freakin awesome, that’s why! Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow firmly solidifies his place as a modern, pop-culture icon, creating a character that’ll be remembered forever. With epic action, a huge scope, groundbreaking visual FX, and a completely crazy, unhinged vibe, this is one of the strangest, and yet most crowd-pleasing, blockbusters in recent years. With a great cliffhanger ending, PotC:DMC leaves you wishing that Part 3 was here tomorrow.
#7
Blood Diamond
A dark and entertaining message movie, delivered in a jungle warfare package. Blood Diamond is about the illegal running of diamonds out of Africa and into our jewelry stores, and the lives that are sacrificed for it. Centering on the story of an African peasant (Djimon Hounsou) trying to find his family, as he teams up with a gritty rouge diamond smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio) to find a rare diamond. Featuring some snappy dialogue, pulse pounding fights, great performances, and even a message about living and dying in Afirca, it’s a piece of formula strung together to have resonance.
#6
Little Miss Sunshine
One of the oddest movies around, this family road-trip movie about a lovable bunch of dysfunctional and depressed freaks making their way to California wins you over with its strange style. Directed by music video mavericks Jonathan Dayton and Valarie Faris (check out their video for “1979” for music video gold), Sunshine is strange, at times unsettling, but ultimately enjoyable. Great performances by all involved, with particular recognition to Steve Carell for conveying sympathy, weirdness, quiet desperation, and more.
#5
Brick
Another oddity, this one a dark detective story from the black and white heyday… expect its in colour, set in the here and now, and takes place mostly at a high school. When his girlfriend (Lost’s Emile de Ravin) turns up murdered, Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) follows the clues to find out the who’s, why’s and how’s. Its so bizarre to have a modern high-school setting set to the pace of ‘40s noir-ish beats, yet it somehow hangs together in a “this should not work yet somehow it is” way. The skill showed off by first time writer/director Rian Johnson is striking, and the dialogue’s staccato rhythms make for a unique experience.
#4
V for Vendetta
Elegant anarchy. This slightly loose adaptation of Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s comic book draws you into its futuristic, fascist world. Hugo Weaving delivers an amazing performance as the terrorist V. Hidden behind a mask the entire time, Weaving works wonders with his voice and body movements. Any time you can throw political allegory wrapped up in a sci-fi / comic book flick, you have a definite winner. Featuring some jaw-dropping visuals by Director James McTeigue and the final cinematography work of Adrian Biddle. For just a visual standpoint, this shouldn’t be missed.
#3
The Departed
Martin Scorsese in hardcore, gritty bad guys and badder guys mode, with plenty of nifty beat-downs and f-bombs thrown about. Its joy lies in watching the plot twists uncoil themselves as the noose closes tighter around the necks of undercover agent (Leonardo DiCaprio) and crooked cop (Matt Damon) working at opposite ends. Throw in an insane-even-for-him Jack Nicholson performance, trademark Scorsese ultra-violence, and career-defining performances by both male leads, and you have a movie that should, hopefully, finally, get Scorsese a frickin’ Oscar.
#2
The War Tapes
A documentary that puts you on ground-level of the Iraq war. U.S. soldiers were given handheld video cameras to film their tours of duty in Iraq, and The War Tapes is the result. Its surprisingly darkly humorous – funny in a way that only people who are in a live-fire zone can be, and graphically gory as it shows the consequences of when humans try to destroy each other. The gut-wrenching final act where the soldiers return home, wounded in more ways than one, will make you to reflect on the cost of war.
#1
The Prestige
Director Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, Memento) takes a story about dueling magicians and creates a transient filmmaking experience. Both Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, two actors who hit the mainstream with comic book heroes, manage to convey the devolution from friendship to murderous rivalry with believability. It’s a pitch-black revenge story set against the foggy landscape of 18th Century London that’s beautiful to watch, excellently made, impeccably performed, and infinitely re-watchable. Some may complain about the umpteen levels of twists and plot turns, but it’s a story about magicians, of course there’s going to be narrative trap doors built into it! The Prestige is true moviemaking magic.
-
you want us to read all of that? shit.

STEVEN SPIELBERG TO DIRECT STAR WARS EPISODES 7, 8 AND 9!!! OMG!!!
-
So here's the list - not a lot of hotties on display tonight. In my opinion, Rachel Weisz and Helen Mirren win (Eva Green, were you even trying?). Pan's was robbed for best foreign film. Jennifer Hudson winning over all the accomplished performances in her category is fucking ridiculous. Seinfeld was pretty funny with his 'depressing films' comment, as was Robert Downey's self-critical joke. I actually liked Ellen as a host - I think she was much more comfortable than Jon Stewart (and I'm a huge Stewart fan). I think she's probably the best match to the event since Billy Crystal (and that includes Letterman, Whoopi, Chris Rock and Stewart). I don't really like her or dislike her as a comedian - she's kinda just there for me. But you guys need to get over your dyke hatred (same thing goes for Etheridge, the song might not be the greatest, but she sure puts passion into what she does, and it probably works well for the movie. Did you really want Randy Newman to win for his crap or those annoying Dreamgirls songs? Ok, the last one wasn't terrible, but come on!) Anyway, I thought the tone of tonight's broadcast was probably the best I've seen in years - not too much self-congratulatory, self-importance, it felt lighter than usual. I thought the montages were artfully done (and getting people like Errol Morris and Michael Mann to do them didn't hurt). The shadow dancers were a bit strange. This to me was probably one of the better produced Oscars I've seen in a while. Of course it's boring, it's a freakin' awards show. Thank gods for DVR! Oh yeah, and since I haven't seen the Departed (wasn't really interested - even if I was, it's the kind of thing I'd wait 'til DVD anyway), I have no opinion, but it was kinda cool for Coppola, Spielberg and Lucas to give Marty the award. So there you go. Phew.
-
They will follow the exploits of the Solo kids!!! OMG!!!
-
"habeeb it by Ole Gravy Leg Feb twinkie house" gravy leg woo1!
-
did great. All of her jokes were cynical and made fun of the show. I'm not a fan but she was infinately better than the last few hosts, especially Chris Rock who sucked ass.
Yes, the faux liberals are annoying, yes Al Gore sucks...
But I love how all you fucking "heterosexual" nerds go on and on about how you "hate" Ellen and hate this "gay superbowl" (that you are all watching,) and then even make fun of what she is wearing, just like a bunch of fags.
Pathetic. Ellen did fine. -
It's been done, and better, and about a million times in the past 7 years. I can't believe anyone would compliment such a trite joke. Why not make a Lewinsky joke while we're at it?

10. Shut up and Sing

2. United 93
1. Proposition. -
This skinny chick fad has to end, I used to be guaranteed a good 25 minutes of solid wobbly tits straining out of expensive gowns every Oscar night, now it is about 3 minutes...
-
Thought the show was a bit of a drag and pretty shallow compared to other years but some pieces where priceless, like Spielberg taking a picture of Eastwood and Helen. Eastwood being unable to read autocue correctly without his glasses. And ofc, Marty's victory made the long night worth the wait. Priceless stuff. The 4 us amigaos and the 3 mexican amigos in one theatre. What pissed me of? Pan's not winning best foreign!!! I was furious. I saw Das Leben der Anderen at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and yes it was good, realy, it was, but it was soooooooo slow and above all it was just another of those social arthouse drama's. Pan's is something totally NEW. A masterfull craft of original storytelling and vivid imagination. Children of Men should have won cinematography, Pan's had brilliant ct to but Children was so refreshingly new in his aproach and execution it should have won without question. I like Babel but Gustavo SUCKS. The music for Babel has absolutely nothing to do with emotions, or story, nor characters. It just fills in some emptyness. Specially when competing two masterpieces like the soundtrack from the Good German and Pan's Labyrinth it's just mind boggeling that the award goes once again to Gustavo. I realy hate it. And there was to much Al Gore loving this evening. Oeeee, we are all green, save the world, fuck your friends, be green, be greeeen, be greeeeeeeen. Horrible. No award for Eddie made me sad as well. I wanted a fuck you man speech. Biance's overperformance was quit hilarious, trying to overpower Hudson. Feel the jealousy! The ending saved the oscars. But for next year, better host plz, Helen sucked except for the Spielberg photomoment.
-
*MY* DP? Are you taking some creative credit for that movie now? I blinked and missed your part in it.
-
The George Miller who won for Happy Feet is not the same one who did the Mad Max movies.
-
I know Pan's would be the fave around here but seriously, Lives of Others is a great movie, the Schindler's List of East German Communism. You won't be sorry it won when you see it.
-
Who directed Babe and, yes, Mad Max
-
That's how it always is....this year had a ton of potential considering all the fantastic movies that came out( United 93, Babel, Fountain, Letters from iwo jima, Children of Men, The Prestige, Pan's Labyrinth), but it's the winners that are questionable....... cont..
-
Best original screenplay to Little Miss Sunshine was BS...The movie was ok nothing more, nothing less.....After seeing Jennifer Hudson on stage now i really know she wasn't acting in Dreamgirls......Not so mad about The Departed ( a really good fun movie) winning over Children of Men, but the Academy will probably feel silly when CoM will be studied for years to come just because of the editing....LMS nominated for best picture over CoM, United 93 and even the Fountain is a tragedy...The Oscars were ok....I really felt this year they have been trying to make up for all those other years.....The Academy would just like to say "we're sorry".......Marty Rocks!
-
When Children of Men lost the Best Cinematography award. The one no-brainer and they gave it to Pan's, which, while good, was nowhere near as worthy as Lubeski's work on CoM. But hey, it's the Oscars, you can't ask them to get it right all the time. Or any time. Peace.
-
It was a fairly decent night for talent..Forest Whittiker in my opinion being the most deserving of the night, but I still think Children of Men was overlooked as with Pan's Labyrinth, Letters from Iwo Jima and United 93. Also, people stop playing the idiotic race card...Jennifer won fair and square her performance was good in a film which was very average and Eddie Murphy was never going to get it because he refuses to lay the Hollywood game (a reason why I still like him).
-
...came when Ellen said "Goodnight, everyone!" ... ... ... ... This year's Academy Awards really sucked eggs. Then again, so did last year's. And the year before. When will the Academy EVER LEARN?!? They keep patting themselves on the back (at our expense) for a job, uh, done. What a extreme lib-fest!
-
>
.......
Fine if you didn't think she was funny, she wasn't the best ever, certainly, but far from the worst...and dude, you just quoted her directly from the BabaWawa special which you obviously watched, in which she said very explicitly and clearly "I knew I was gay before any of that ever happened," when Wawa specifically asked her about people thinking that abuse was the cause of her dykedom.. so, clean out your ears? She's getting better pussy than any of you nerds.
-
Ellen did very good IMO. It was actually funny this year.Reese Witherspoon, Cate Blanchett and Eva Green are three of the most beautiful women in the world.Spielberg, Lucas and Coppola to present Best Director was an inspired moment.Ennio Morricone montage was great until Celine Dion ruined it.The Prestige rocked.Why is there no Razzies talkback?

List of right-wing hypocrites who still watched oscars!
by jimmylonewolf
Yup, here comes a list (with comments) of all the neo-conservative tools who came all the way to the AICN talkbacks just to spout off their pathetic jealousy towards Hollywood...here it comes...
-
I knew Ellen would do just fine, and most of the awards went into the right hands, outside of Cinematogrpahy (Children of Men, damnit!)
-
...is tied with Ben Affleck for Oscar wins. I suppose it's fair.
-
but the departed was not the best movie i saw last year at all. I tend to agree with those who thought the last 30 minutes or so suffered tremendously from silly character decisions and plot machinations that simply served to achieve the ultimate goal rather than make any kind of cinematic sense. I'm trying here but I can't seem to remember the last time the Oscars got a Best Picture winner right, but hey, at least they didn't give it to Little Miss Sunshine, a good movie that did not transcend its terminally independent status. And Babel would have been the right choice the first couple of times I watched it when it was called Amores Perros and 21 Grams.
-
was definitely great... nice to see all those great directors up there on stage...
-
my bad
-
I think you pretty much hit your top 10 on the money.. I would put most of those same films in mine, maybe just not in the same order. I can't freakin' BELIEVE Brick and V For Vendetta had ABSOLUTELY NO RECOGNITION. Brick had the REAL best original score. Original in every sense of the word. And yeah Children Of Men got completely robbed for Cinematography, and Pan's got robbed for Foreign Film.
-
...or a small boy was once killed by the shock of Harry blocking out the sun. I kid, I kid. Get Sarah Silverman to host next year...she cracked me up doing the Independent Spirit Awards yesterday. And the song parodies of the best pic nominees were hilarious.
-
than why were you stupid enough to watch this years show?!?! It makes no sense......lib-fest my ass.
-
an inferoir adaptation of a great asian film...yeh Damon etc put in solid performances but there was NO FUCKING SUSPENSE at all..not a fucking stitch..
its mainly tragedy because Scorcese IS a great film maker, but this wasnt a great film
oh and the retro rock soundtrack was distracting, ill fitting and irritating..this is probably one of the worst best oscar films in history..bizzare considering Scorcese should have probably won it for any of his other vastly superior films.. -
Does anyone here know if or where the Oscar ceremony may be viewed again?
-
I thought the ability to adapt it and make it SO CULTURALLY SPECIFIC and RELEVANT is astounding. To completely take the burecratic apparatus of the police in INFERNAL and move it to an American setting, and create a unique style...that really deserves credit. Knights of Columbus? who would have thought anything like that could have come from infernal affairs?
-
Fuck the Academy.
-
I rented the DVD today, didn't watch. But DAMNED if both the red carpet show AND the actual broadcast didn't RUIN it by divulging a major plot point.
-
It was on up here in the Great White North at 9, so I was planning on watching it on my main screen in HD with the Oscars on in the PIP window, but once it got started, it rocked the freakin' world too hard for me to even want a pixel of my Bravia taken up with non-Heroes imagery. Just as well, 'cuz I think the only "big" award I missed was Eddie not winning for DG, and after seeing the Baba Wawa interview with him, that would have sucked intensely. Of course, if he'd made me laugh like he did DURING said interview with his acceptance speech and I'd missed THAT, I'd have also been somewhat upset - so I guess everything worked out poifectly. Another funny thing? I called EVERY Oscar perfectly that I saw (which was all of the main ones from Jennifer Hudson on), with the exception of Pan's not winning the Foreign Language one. I'll assume most of us did as well, though, so no real feat - just kinda funny.
-
smacked of bad Debbie Allen choreography. They were time-wasters. Jerry Seinfeld was an idiot - does he (or the 'writers") not know that the reason we have to pay five dollars for a Coke in the theater, is because the studios force the theater chains to hand back most of the profits from the screenings? Chains make their money from concessions, by necessity.
-
Did anybody catch that PITIFUL red carpet performance from a ROOF across the street?!!!! To paraphrase a blogger on another site, "Thank God Hudson remembered to thank Jennifer in her speech, cause Holiday had a rifle, ready to take her out." People, she was singing on a ROOF, to nobody - it was weird.
-
Winner of the Editing Oscar, is the widow of director Michael Powell, to whom she was introduced by Scorsese! Worthy footnote.
-
I remember a hugely obese woman from her talk show appearances back when Dreamgirls was a hit musical. Regarding Hudson's win, it's ironic that she hates gays and she got the biggest most iconic gay award there is.
-
So what's going to be the geek bitch at the Oscars for the next few years?
-
everybody is doggin' The Departed right now... Let it be, it was a good movie. All this stupid bickering...
-
He hates Ellen and Little Miss Sunshine and he likes the cool movies like Pans Labyrinth and Children of Men.
-
Both of those movies were shit...at least The Departed is a very engaging and well made film. Was it the best movie of the year? No, but at least it was good.
-
That's kind of weird...Just for the record: the Academy is a bunch of stupid jerks, 'cause CHILDREN OF MEN - one of the best, most intelligent and perfectly crafted sci-fi movie since years - didn't reveice anything. Nothing. Zero. I AM PISSED!
-
reminds me of Half Life 2. That's probably the closest we'll get to seeing a good video game movie right there. Oh yeah, and Julianne Moore is hot.
-
that every winner who pulls out a slip of paper and just starts reading names gets their time cut in half. Might as well been reciting a grocery list in the dairy aisle. Winners like the sound guys, who gave the worst "speeches" of the night, will have their awards taken away.Thankfully, the show was rescued by the gobs of classiness by the honorees in the last hour. Skipping over the lame bits on the DVR also makes 4 hours pass like 2 hours.
-
I'm upset that Pan's Labyrinth didn't win Best Foreign, but to be fair, I haven't seen the other pics. The Departed is awesome, and I'm glad it won, although I didn't see Letters From Iwo Jima, so I dunno. Yeah, Babel was great, but I loved The Departed, I'm very happy it won. And I think Pan's should've won Best Score, especially since the score is not only beautiful itself, but it's also a part of the story. And Ghost Dog winning Best Actor is fucking awesome. And as much as I love Pan's Labyrinth and think it's beautifully photographed....I think that award absolutely BELONGED to Children of Men. If anything, that was the only Oscar I felt completely sure about.
And I don't think The Departed was an Oscar bid...it's, like, the least Oscar-bait movie ever. But that's why it's so fucking good.
I wish Children of Men would've at least gotten nominated, though. And fucking A, that cinematography award was STOLEN from them. -
And I think George Miller won only because of all this environemntal sentiment in the air. That Animated Film award should've gone to either Cars or Monster House. Hell, even Over the Hedge....any of those three, I think, deserved it more than Happy Feet....which I actually enjoyed, but didn't think it was better than the others.
-
And where the fuck was Children of Men? At least the Bafta's gave it a nod, much better awards show this year than the Oscars IMHO, honoured the likes of Del Torro, Cuaron, Greengrass et Al. Glad for Scorcese he's a great director, I just wish he could have won it for something a bit more personal, and not for a remake of an already flawless HK classic.
-
It wasn't his best movie, but who cares?
-
I don't care if Marty Scorcese won for a 1.5 hour reel of him doing his laundry - he deserved it (especially given the weak entries this year). That being said, The Departed is absolutely great. Watch it a couple of times and appreciate sublety ... something Oscar voters (with their penchangt for gay, quadraplegic retarded drug addict protagonists) rarely appreciate. Good job Marty. Outside of that, there just weren't a lot of films I was rooting for this year ... not like ROTK year. As for the chicks, anyone who thinks Reese Witherspoon is anything other than a hot piece of ass is crazy. She's smoking - pointy chin and all.
-
So cant comment on those. For the firat time i have approached the oscars with deep uninterest. Why? On saturday an historic thing took place. Croke park hq for the GAA, opened its doors to Rugby, sure there was the debate over the singing of the English National Anthem. The Irish Played out of thier of skins and gave thier best performance in aoens. The final Result was Ireland 45, england 13. I also have a bronchial bug that is doing the rounds. Uncle Rupert Murdoch has now banished the Oscars to Sky Movies 11 and as much I adore Fearne Cotton and i loathe the british pre-hype and the stupid we were robbed attitude. I was watching the horrible iftas(irelands versions of the baftas) and my dad said to my friend and I , why arent you guys reviewing and Ireminded my dad about the elitest nature of all awards. I am glad that Marty won and i will see the departed eventually after all the fuss has died down. I really couldnt care less. There are far too many awards. There was a great article in the observer in the UK and if i can find the link i will but it is worth reading that article.
-
AND giant, movie theatre screen-size forehead. Don't forget that.
-
Scorsese get's prizes for his less good work, Infernal affairs is way better than his remake "The departed".
I really don't get the jury for those golden statues. Who are they? I bet don't even like film. -
books.guardian.co.uk/manbooker2006/story/0,,1928489,00.html - 52k
-
Little Feet beat out Cars? That creepy anti-religion liberal propaganda piece for kids (which makes them cry) won? What the heck is wrong with Hollywood?!
-
Is pixar's animation triumph. It succeeds on every level. The backgrounds alone are the best that pixar has ever done will end up in a gallery. The story was weak however. I am not really a nascar fan. But I know quality when I see it and Pixar was beautiful.
-
...and you'll quickly realise despite the asian corniness, its a vastly superior, tighter film..Scorcese is a truely great film maker, but after Babel or Pan's you realise its a pretty average cop movie..not the powerful experience those films are..
it's like Morricone, its obscene he hasn't won before, but then..there you go..the very best obviously doesnt always win.. -
20 awards this year for her performance as the queen. I think it kind takes a shine of thinngs and it validates completely jason cowleys article about awards.
-
win. 18 years after his first nom. this is his 19th.
-
Harry is an idiot for worshipping Dreamgirls and wanting this 'singer' to get an 'actress' award. You suck, Harry. And no, she will not sleep with you.
-
(__)__)
-
WTF?!?! Joe Dirt. Woooo-hooooo!
Dude kinda bombed tho. -
Simply due to the fact that he was responsible for Howard The Duck. It's shit like that which stains one's career forever.
-
it was one of those ones that they axed a couple. Lucas won the Irvin G thalberg award and it was given to him by spielberg for his pioneering effects work through his then company ILM.
-
One last thing: It is normal that the Academy Awards are pure and utter shit. They don't mean anything, we all know that. The sad thing is just that in my humble opinion last year was damn exciting concerning the output of insightful, entertaining and truly original films. I don't care about who doesn't get an award or gets one. It's a thing that lasts one night and then is forgotten in the context of reality. Why don't they do a montage (...my favorite thing, isn't it..) of all those great pictures of the last year, meaning also those that were completely snubbed (=masterpieces) ? It would be a perfect celebration of those fantastic achievements.
I found DAS LEBEN DER ANDEREN to be quite good. I tend to think, though, that it is better if you're an American and watch it with subtitles and not getting the full impact of its actual aesthetic. There's no question about the film's quality but it has some flaws that just mark it as a "first feature" attempt. But maybe I don't see these flaws when I'll watch it a second time. -
I.E.: a 9 year old girl.
-
Even though The Departed wasnt the best movie It certaintly was better than the majority of the winners who have won in the past. American Beauty anyone?

WTF! As much as I like Alan Arkin, I would've loved to have heard the words now and forever more:
"Academy Award Winner Eddie Murphy" in Pluto Nash 2! -
Was a very good film and I’m glad it won.
It showed at the Dublin International Film Festival last week and was a very engrossing film.
I’m also glad that the geek fanboys are pissed that Pans did not win. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Pans very much, it’s just that I get the feeling that the Pans fans around here also wanted that LOTR film to clean up a few years ago and that particular night was a low point in Oscar history (and believe me there have been plenty of low nights at the Oscars over the years!)
-
...that i didnt have to watch the Oscars with Harry. What an idiot!
-
Just to make you guys jealous the surprise film at the Dublin film fest yesterday was 300, which I enjoyed although it did not quite live up to my high expectations of it.
-
As a matter of fact it just doesn't make too much sense to compare PAN and LOO, despite their respective handlings of political issues and (structural) violence. It's interesting, though, that they both feature art as the humane liberator in inhumane times... (The Sonata of the decent man (I don't know what exactly it's called in english), writing and fairy tales)

What sort of pizza is an Oscar viewing worthy pizza? Lot's of ham?

Martin Scorsese:
Mean Streets: No Oscar
Taxi Driver: No Oscar
Raging Bull: No Oscar
Goodfellas: No Oscar
Bringing Out The Dead: No Oscar
The Aviator: No Oscar
THE DEPARTED: OSCAR
And people still take these awards seriously? -
I'd also lick Helen Mirren's wrinkle-assed pussy fo' 2 dollers...

Jimmy Kimmel - for the love of God...THat way I will not fall asleep 1 hour into the show. What a Joke!
-
wasn't brad the lead producer for the departed?
where the fuck was he for his oscar?!?!? -
Shocking. I don't live under a stone but there was no news of this in the British press. Gutted.
-
My two cents: too damn long, Ellen sucks (her wearing a dress must be like kryptonite to Superman), boob quotient way down, and The Departed was OK, but not that good. Marty got an lifetime achievement for all the times he didn't get one. Overall, agonizing prententious bullshit that I'm glad I didn't suffer through. Will somebody else take over producing this crap and make it relevant and entertaining again?
-
..showed more boobage at the Golden Globes than last night. Disappointing, but at least she got an Oscar.

I'd rather watch Woody Allen host.

Mellody Hobson

Amazing movie with groundbreaking camerawork grts nothing.

How is it that Adrienne Shelley was not remembered in the montage of all the departed movie makers? I was pissed off. She deserved it!!!! And how is it that Pans Labryinth wins all those awards, but misses out on Best Foreign Film to a German movie most people haven't even heard of? Outside of the unconscionable mistake of not remembering Adrienne Shelley … That IDIOT producer of The Departed NOT BRINGING SCORSESE OUT ON STAGE WITH HIM?!!?!?!!?! What an incredibly selfiish act because nobody voted for that movie because of him! It was all about Marty and that idiot stood up there and accepted the accolades like it was all about him. Probably the worst moment of the Oscars.
-
I haven't seen Departed yet, but how does it rate with Marty's other movies? And me and the wife just saw Little Miss Sunshine and we both did not like it at all. I hated it, while my wife equated it to American Beauty (in terms of everyone liking it) which she didn't like either.
-
Say all you want about his wooden dialogue and the fact he rarely (if ever) gets actors to act. From a technical standpoint, he pioneered modern directing - treating "special effects" as an integral character in film. He has pioneered the way films are made, shot, distributed, etc. He was the first to basically bankroll a major hit outside of the studio system, a risk which basically landed billions in his pocket. He is, in many ways, the most revolutionary man in movies in the last 50 years. Bitch about his corny prequels all you want, but the man has accomplished some amazing things. The Thalberg was totally appropriate for him the other year, and he has every right in the world to be standing on that stage, being recgonized as a genius.
-
As he was walking up to receive the award the announcer mentioned New Orleans and the hurricane and how global warming caused it. I forgot how there were no hurricanes until the SUV was created. What a total crock of shit! Keep selling that snake oil Al. Al Gore and John Travolta are morphing into the same person.
-
So did Jefferson ever get those Earth Wind and Fire tickets from Damone? And was that with or without Philip Bailey?!?! "Don't FUCK with IT."
-
My GOD these fucking geriatric Academy twits wouldn't know a good movie if it fell on their emergency life call necklace. Children of Men wins nothing? What fucking bullshit! At the very least editing or cinematography. Why do I torture myself.
-
so you're idea of a good film is one most people have heard of?
-
I don't remember anything about that movie except for Phoebe Cates. She should get an honorary Oscar for that 10 seconds of cinematic perfection.
-
I know it probably shouldn't have won best picture, but it's still awesome. Congrats Marty!
-
He would be 1000x funnier than Ellen -- and far less controversial. ... ... ...
But Hollywood hates Republicans -- even LIBERAL Republicans! :( -
I will definitely being checking it out as some point soon. Next up though is Thank you for Smoking.Itchy, you have a very valid point about the honorary Oscar. Perhaps a new category should be formed and call it like "Best Induced Geek Masturbation Moment". And it doesn't necessarily have to be awarded to the actress herself, but to her 'winning' body part.
-
in EVERY category
-
can lick my ball sweat. I agree it wasn't Scorcese's best ... I think Goodfellas is (though I'll listen to arguments about Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Mean Streets) ... but I think it is solidly in the Top 5 with the above, and I think that it was certainly the best out of the nominees this year (though in all fairness, I have not actually seen Little Miss Sunshine and base my opinion about Departed versus LMS based only on the reviews others I trust have given me). And really, I have no problem at all with the Academy considering "past performance" when giving the award if it's tight. I mean, Goodfellas losing to Dances with Wolves is still one of the great abortions of Academy History. In fact, they need to have a wing of that sweet new Academy museum that is devoted to nothing but pathetic mistakes the voting Academy has made over the years ... and that will be right up there.
-
...at least she didn't come out bashing conservatives, christians and southerners. Instead, she punished viewers by BORING us half to death! ... ... ... ... ... Who would make a better host? Are there any non-offending hosts who can be funny WITHOUT mocking others? IMHO, Billy Crystal was terribly overrated (besides, his botox face would blind viewers with a glare on HDTV). Jon Stewart is incredibly boring (and seemingly unaware) in anything other than a 42 minute show. Chris Rock ONLY thrives on offensive potty humor. Hmmm...maybe the Academy could let VIEWERS NOMINATE and CHOOSE next year's host?!? My vote would go to either JAY LENO or CONAN O'BRIEN! Leno would be funny WITHOUT much controversy. O'Brien would be funny. Robin Williams could be funny too. But Heaven help us if we have to endure one more 4 hour LIB-FEST that isn't even funny! *Sigh.
-
The announcer was parroting what Al Gore says every fucking day. Every time there is a storm, or it is hot, or it is cold, he blames Global Warming. He's full of shit and the scientific community doesn't back him. The only way these scientists can get additional grants or get on TV is to start screaming "Global warming" at the top of their lungs. Here is a news flash. The global climate is constantly changing. It has throughout history. According to that fat tranny- It should be 72 and sunny every day. Do you think he took a scooter to the show?
-
is that it finally prompted Harry to change the corner animation. Thank merciful Christ!
-
Truly a remarkable, finely honed film that came out of nowhere and surprised the hell out of me. I like it more than Pan's Labyrinth, which would be in my top 10 of the year. I would only rate Children of Men above Lives of Others in 06. See it, it's amazing.
-
"One of these things is not like the other" - Answer - Lucas, the others can direct and have an Oscar for it.
-
Who could possibly think The Departed was not deserving of an oscar? Do you people even like movies? The Departed as probably the best movie I saw last year. And I'm really picky. Is it just because it did pretty well in the theaters. Cause I know that people that post on this site couldn't possibly like a movie that's main stream. Go fuck yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
THE ROCKETEER is my favorite popcorn movie of all time and Alan Arkin will always be Peevy to me.
Harry, you may be furry, but if you give The Rocketeer a mention on Oscar Night, you're okay in my book.
Been lurking here for years and, yes, this is my first post. I'll post again when The Rocketeer is mentioned again.
p.s. Pan's got ROBBED!
-
Ellen was the best host since Billy Crystal.
-
but those changes have been much more dramatic over the last few decades. That is what is worrisome. And this past January was the hottest on record, and even the Bush Administration has acknowledged that global warming is man-made. Last week the world climate scientists issued a new report last week stating the same thing with 90% certainty. Are you willing to bet against those odds?
-
Yes, the most robbed movie in the history of history. Come on, from the lack of real nominations to the ridiculous loss of Lubeski. It deserved much more than it got. Well, another gem goes completely Oscarless.
-
1 - Ellen got the gig to host as it was such a dull year for films that no proper comic or personality would touch it. Billy Crystal was good because there was great material from all the films on the years he hosted. remember the years he skipped - the depressing films Whoopi Goldberg had to pluck some light relief from, and the less said about Letterman the better.
2 - The Departed IS NOT the greatest film of Martin Scorsese's career, but IT IS the best film of 2006, with any competition a distant 2nd. yes it would have been ace, and made the Oscars credible, had he won for any earlier film, with Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and GoodFellas being the obvious choices. but he won it for an outstanding film anyway, so nice one. better that than him being "forced" into making a specific film for awards, like Spielberg and Schindler's List.
3 - if you ignore the lame hostess and the pretty poor show and just concentrate on the awards, this is possibly the most apt, just and fair Oscars since Clint cleaned up with Unforgiven many years ago. the only debatable one for me is Helen Mirren - i am not at all sure she was the best, but then again she was not the worst.
-
1) Our planet just got out of a mini Ice Age. Wow! It's getting hotter (avg. 3 degrees) after a mini Ice Age?! Someone sell me a hybid immediately.
2) Cows cause more greenhouse gasses than every evil SUV on the planet.
3) Mt. St Helen's eruption caused more greenhouse gasses than the combined history of all vehicles.
4) One charter NY to LA jet flight burns more fuel than 50 SUVs over 10 years. It is really big of St. Al to be flying commercially for the last 18 months.
5) The ice sheet has gotten thicker in places as it thins in others.
6) 30 years ago we were all going to burn to death from the hole in the ozone layer. 30 years from now global warming will be forgotten and we are all going to die from something else. And a lot of people will figure out a way to make a lot of money from it. -
that people on site dont like movies. Its all a pretence. For the second week running Ghost rider was no 1 film in the US. They pretend to like movies, come on to this site and give out yards about major studios especially over the treatment or handling of comic book movies. It kind of reminds of those people who watch film so that they spot the errors, they come on here and say things like The silver surfer is not Silvery enough or he is too silver or the nitpicking over Transformers. it does get boring, the constant nitpicking, the slandering is the worst aspect of this site and dont want to go back over the whole x-man 3 again or superman returns. But to defame the director(s) by spreading groundless assertions on whether they may or may not be gay is a horrible thing to do.

Her performance in notes on a scandal was by far her best performance in a very short acting career. I though blanchett and the rest were overly hysterical. Dench really should have got it. Dench performance was out of this world.

Apparently he had something in his eye and nobody told him? Huh thats Hollywood for you. He feels better now, apparently Vick Mackie came and blow it out. You deserve the Oscar dude, well done.
-
The 'small' increase that you see still has consequences on the environment like melting blocks of really, really cold stuff. So since SUV are less 'evil' than cows, it's okay to have a SUV? (Rent "Who Killed the Electric Car?") Yes, Mt. St. Helen's did create more greenhouse gases. How does that justify releasing more of those gases via vehicles? Does it make it less wrong? You are absolutely right about Gore using charter jets. I am not defending him, I am just talking about the global warming issue.
I most certainly hope you are right that in 30 years this will all be forgotten. Are you a betting man? -
Guys, let's ease up on bobparr. It's very hard when ones brain doesn't fire on all cylinders. He finds it easier to shoot the messenger than face his fears. It is also easier to deny a problem and live with blinders on. Let the rest of us rise to greatness and try in what ever way we can to improve our enviroment. Let the bobparrs of the world wallow in ignorance. Natural selection will probably eliminate him any way. Here bobparr, hold my hand I'll get you onto your little yellow bus, good boy.
-
Wow! Are you not aware of these facts? Which ones do you doubt?Perhaps your opinions and beliefs should be based on something other than what Al Gore spoon feeds you.
-
Agree with you for the most part but the complaints about Transformers is hardly nitpicking. Bay is fucking EVERYTHING up because he is not taking the property seriously. Yes it's about giant talking robots but it's rich in mythology and it has a wide fanbase. So yes, when they put redneck flames, pointless pointy things, and ridiculously enormous codpieces on designs that did not need such drastically awful changes, or base it on a script by guys whose claim to fame is Xena: Warrior Princess episodes (a script that has a scene of a dog pissing on a Tranformer that doesn't result in a puddle of doggy goo) than that's not nitpicking.
-
I am just very surprised if you don't know about these facts. That is why I asked which one. I assumed you knew at least some. Most of them are quite well known. The problem is someone like Al Gore won't ever bring up anything that refutes his gospel. Half truths = Lies. That being said, if CO2 emissions are really going to cause the end of the planet why doesn't anybody talk about going Nuke for our domestic power source? They do it in Asia and Europe and it works really well. Most of the man-made emissions come from heating our homes, businesses, etc. and not our vehicles. If the crusaders were really serious about this they would be looking at that. Instead we get a bunch of people patting themselves on the back because they drive an overpriced car that can't get above 70 MPH.
-
Don't get it. There are two possibilties here right. Global warming is man-made and we can do something about it (seeding the atmosphere with microscopic particles that reflect sunlight back out into space for instance) or global warming is not man-made but is still happening and we still do something about it. As a wise person once said, it's better to be safe than sorry.
-
"Let the bobparrs of the world wallow in ignorance." That's just some funny stuff right there.BSB, yeah, my wife loved that movie. They have the plug-in proto-type hybrids right now, but we won't see those for a long time.And Bob just read any website and search global warming. You'll see that the problem is real.emeraldboy - my problem with Transformers is NOT what they have done with the way the robots look, it's with the god-forsaken script. There's some really bad human stuff in there that I think will play out very badly on the big screen. But again, this movie is for the 8 - 13 yr old demographic, hence the dog taking a piss on one of the transformers like PwnedByStallone mentioned.

In that montage tribute to Ennio Morricone. They didn't play the music from Once Upon A Time In The West. Ok fine. I know there's a lot of music and they can't play it all, but not even the list did they mention it. Once Upon A Time In America was listed though. Once Upon A Time In The West is my favorite score of Ennio Morricone. IMO it's his best score ever. Also, would have been nice if they had shown the Bride from Kill Bill, in the buried alive scene. To show how his music has come full circle. Who creates these gay montages for the Oscars anyway? I mean shadow people amd comedians doin broadway numbers. What a corny show!
-
That makes sense. Gimmie a break. Departed was like a TV movie of the week compared to those two films. Obviously this was Oscar's way of paying tribute to all his work. Martin Scorsese could have made any ol movie last year. It just had to be slightly above average. It was just Martin Scorsese's time.
-
Would have won Scorsese an Oscar this year. Nothing against The Departed. Great movie, but it's no Goodfellas, Raging Bull, or Mean Streets.
-
wasn't on the Oscars, but at the start of Fox's evening w/Seth MacFarline of Family Guy. It began with him sitting in front of a fireplace, w/brandy in hand, stating "Good evening, if you're watching this and not the Oscars then you're officially not gay..." Way to go Seth.
-
It's a stupid-ass gold trinket. You get your panties in a bunch because somebody dissed The Departed. It's only one person's opinion, not a declaration of war. Some of us have even said it's a good movie; maybe or maybe not worthy of Best Picture, or just being one of Marty's best, but a good movie, and still you want somebody to jump off a cliff or smell your sweaty balls, etc. Real mature, but remember this: nobody will give a rat's ass in one week or one month or one year. Has winning an Oscar helped everybody's career in Hollywood? Hell, no!
There are more important things in the world to get riled up about than this. Enjoy the damn movie, whether it gets an Oscar or not. -
that the New Years animation is finally off!!!
-
It will however sweep the Razzies.

we have given you what you wanted, now go away. they did it before. cameron and titanic. But which is a better film titanic or La confidential. I go with la confidential.

But you know no one wants to get rid of our oil addiction. And Bob would like these cars if they got over 70mph, because screw the world...I want my speed!

hes trying out for the role of BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!!!!!!!
thanks fred norris. -
it is fucking hilarious to me - like it is such a bad thing to want to maybe just maybe help the world not die....so part of the big debate now is whether or not it is man made....look it isn't totally man made but do you right wingers really believe that all the shit we make, burn and smoke and throw around the atmosphere has zero effect on the planet?? you don't think we have anything to do with whats going on?? mind you rush limbaugh says that if you believe in god then you know that global warming is impossible. that seems to be his big proof that there is no such thing as global warming and who am I to argue with scientific analysis like that .....
-
Children of Men > Babel > Pan's Labyrinth > United 93 > The Departed > Borat > The Fountain > Casino Royale > Little Miss Sunshine > An Inconveniant Truth
-
Did Limbaugh really say that? If so he is even scarier than I thought.
-
Feb 26, 2007 2:09:53 PM CST
Man, I've only seen four of those movies you mention
by just pillow talk
PwnedByStallone...I loved Children of Men, Casino Royale. Disappointed with Little Miss Sunshine...liked An Inconvenient Truth but though Who Killed the Electric Car was the more enjoyable doc. I can't wait to see the rest you mentioned except for United 93, which I probably will never watch.
-
Seth McFarland is the most unoriginal chode in the business. He ripped off that shtick from Trey and Matt. The guy is an F'ing wanker.
-
c'mon, the world is not dying.
Geez, the Right was nuts during the Clinton years and now the Left has gone unhinged during the Bush years. -
Just asking if you think there is global warming.
-
Yeah I only saw United 93 because I wrote a review for a website. I was against it but after seeing it it is undeniably powerful filmmaking. I was curled up in fetal postion for the rest of the day after seeing it. Don't see it. It's pure pain. Need to see Electric Car and Jesus Camp.
-
Well, I'm just glad that Martin and the Departed won, that made it a great show! MovieGeek out...peace
-
I remember being taught that the next ice age was approaching when I was in grade school, and now the world is going to end due to global warming. The earth gets cooler, the earth gets warmer...I tend to think mother nature balances it all out in the end.
-
it doesn't help the cause to have guys like Al Gore and Leo getting hard-ons over each other, and all the self-righteous pricks nodding oh so seriously in the audience. the messengers can really hurt the message.
-
The great George Carlin once said (more or less) that its not the earth that we're killing, but ourselves. The earth will be fine, it has survived for a million years and will survive a million more. We'll just help make it inhospitable (sp) for man. And yes Rush-heads, nature helps produce its share of methane and such...we're just speeding along the process. Deep ice core samples have shown an increase of carbon in the atmosphere, especially within the past 100 years.
-
and I sincerely hope you and Bob are right, that all us leftist/environmentalists/any other type of ists are nuts and are completely wrong. Either that, or I need to start smoking what you are.PwnedByStallone - Gotcha, and believe me I am not going to see it. And I want to see Jesus Camp, but I think you'll be in a fetal position after watching that, though for different reasons....
-
Anyone know what it was? I know I recognized it and possibly even own the DVD but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I can't find a video of it anywhere, but if you have it taped or remember it, it was the fantasy sounding music right when it starts. Thanks!
-
Did you see Al Gore's chubby face gush when all of the Hollywood libs kissed his ass? Excelsior!!
-
And that's no word of a lie. Not that it's an achievement, this year was pretty obvious. But I would have liked Children Of Men to have won. If it had been set in America with Cruise or someone as the lead it would have won.
-
'Letters From Iwo Jima' was a far better movie. Ah well...good on ya Martin, you deserved it for a FULL lifetime of acheivement. Erm, not that he's done or anything.
-
I'm no great fan of Familly Guy, in fact I think South Park nailed it. It was still funny.
-
First of all you have to recognize that we really only have accurate meteorological statistics for the last hundred or so years and using those to represent the entire history of the Earth is a fallacy. However, my main point is that the only thing one can count on in life is Change. Things go through ebbs and flows throughout the universe, such is the way of the ten thousand things. It is extremely arrogant to think that Humans have the power to interfere with the natural order. If we solve the "Global Warming Crisis" will that prevent the eventual death of the planet, the death of our species? No. Everything dies: species, planets, even stars. It is the way of life. Such is the nature of Tao.
-
While we're talking about what was better than the Departed, I just saw this on DVD and I don't know what the hell to make of it. Can naybody help me out on this one because to me it went from a pretty damn good flick about magicians to some absurd sci-fi shit.
-
No one wants to say it because "Marty" directed it, but it's one of the weakest best picture films ever.
-
Leonardo and Gore claimed that these were the first Academy Awards that were completely "green." I also felt a little "green" after watching them! A little Pepto-Bismol helped, though. I felt some relief as I watched Al Gore and Leo pull away in their 5 mile-per-gallon limosines.
-
Murphy Before the Oscars was freaking hilarious.
-
All Oscar winners are from trailer parks, drink cheap beer, dance on poles, wear 'Gotta Shit' masks and come from WHORES!
-
Departed - will go down as one of the worst best picture winners in history
Children of Men & Letters - will go down as some of the best movies ever to not win an oscar
Thank God Babel didn't win - it was pure dramatic crap
An inconvenient guess - well who would've figured it
The prestige, children of men, scanner darkly, all prove that sci-fi gets no respect by the academy.
Arkin Allen - did he act in that movie.. how hard is it to act like he acted in that film?
Now scorsese can actually make a movie that will leave people feeling happy instead of wanting to commit suicide, if thats what he wants to do. -
quit bashing people for being right winged limbaugh lovers... so you don't drive a car? so you don't buy things that aren't biodigradeable that come in bags that aren't biodigradeable?... so gore isn't cruising around the country in his private jet?... do you even know how much more harmful that is then the car i drive?... do you realize that this has been one of the worst winters ever for parts of our country? quit throwing around your politics... and be reasonable... i love the planet... but admit that i don't take care of it like i should... do you?
-
When The Departed won for best adapted Screenplay the factoid about the original film said it was Japanese. The Dumb-ass Academy writers can't tell the difference between China and Japan. That's a HUGE insult to Hong Kong.
Ellen also screwed up and implied that Penelope Cruz was Mexican. Bunch of stupid ass culturally ignorant writers this year, I guess. Ellen corrected herself later and Marty pointed out later that Infernal Affairs was from HK but still, neither of these things should have EVER happened in the script.
Oh, yeah and Pan's Labyrinth was robbed.
-
Complaining about who won this, and who won that is senseless. Movies reach people in different ways, depending upon their upbringing, interests, and where they are in life. One person's The Departed might be another's Little Miss Sunshine, as far as what film they think is Oscar worthy. That's why there is an academy vote. A majority of the voters thought The Departed was a better film experience. Plain and simple. Why are TBers trying to live in a world that is so black and white??? If their favorite didn't win, the one that did is a piece of shit and overrated. Give me a break. Some people think Pulp Fiction deserved the win better than Forrest Gump. That doesn't mean Gump "sucked ass". Some people think Scorsese deserved to win over Costner in '90. Others don't. They're just award shows that display the majority of voters... doesn't mean that whatever didn't get nominated sucks, and also doesn't mean that whatever did is overrated. Stop getting your fricking fanboy panties in a bind. I have no problem with someone saying, "Well, this is why I feel x movie should have one... this is why that film struck a cord with me..."... but the people here that are so black and white are just embarrassing themselves. I honestly think that TBers will do anything they can just to go against the general point of view, the majority. Makes them feel above others or something like that... belittling a film because they didn't get their way. Sad.
-
ENRON THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM! no nomination for that. bah!
-
Very happy Scorcese won. FINALLY, but I guess it was worth the very long wait for that to happen, and made it more special that way. Everyone in the universe wanted him to win at this point. Loved the bit with Ennio Morricone, it was heart-felt, not cheesey like a lot of other segments. Clint translating was very sweet. The Departed and The Lives of Pthers had better be really good movies. I really wanted Little Miss Sunshine and Pan's Labyrinth to win. I don't generally like when a film wins more than one of the bigger awards. I remember way back when Silence of the Lambs won like EVERY Oscar for every category...really took the fun out of it all. I really liked the diversity of the Oscars this year; it doesn't feel like forced political correctness like when Denzel won best actor for Training Day. But I did think it was tacky to call Coppola/Lucas/Spielburg the "original three amigos", UGH. Looking at those three sad sacks makes me so glad we have new directorial talent in Hollywood. At least Marty hasn't lost his edge though.
-
if there are animated films in the future without penguins, will that film be ignored, even though it maybe a very good film in its own right?
-
but 9 outta 10 times these politicians and hollywood fuckers have a hidden agenda. something that benefits them while still making them look good in the public's eyes. Wait isn't Al Gore is on the Apple board? Aren't they in a battle with Greenpeace?
-
what if they are not CGI. So penguin-less, CGI animated movies. Good or Bad idea.
-
Because yelling at people on the internet is the new black.
-
gotta eat...

Granted I haven't seen "The Queen" or "Iwo Jima" yet but "Departed" was a damn sight better then "Babel" and "LMS". It's not Scorsese's best movie, but it's a damn well made cop/crime drama that improved on "Infernal Affairs" with the added depth of character. I'm still shaking my head at the snubs toward "United 93" as Best Picture, and "V for Vendetta" in the technical categories but whatever. The awards were incredibly boring and on eastern time we were fighting to stay awake as it wrapped at 12:20am. I did like when the shadow people formed the "Snakes on a Plane" logo, that was pretty funny. Good for Arkin and Scorsese, the montages were useless and once again bloated up something that needs to be streamlined.
-
She was funny. She was interesting. All you guys know how to do is say "That was lame" or "the person sucks" withoutany ability to explain yourselves.
F*** you all. Ellen ROCKED. F*** you too Harry. Your butt-buddy Gillermoh didn't win for best foriegn film. Boo-frickin-hoo. -
ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING AWARD SHOW!
WOOO HOOO! SNAKES ON A PLANE REPRESENTED! -
Lovin' the Al Gore hate. Make a documentary, you're reviled. Kill thousands of people, get re-elected. Nice to see you have your priorities straight. The one thing I enjoyed most about Gore was the fact that he can actually speak coherently. This and his appearance on SNL pretty much proved that he's a funny guy. He at least has a sense of humor about himself. Ask Stephen Colbert if GWB has a sense of humor about HIMSELF. Other than GWB joking bout not finding WMD, that is. Freakin' hilarious.
-
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Al Gore's Tennessee home devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average. Keep sticking up for the walrus.
-
Keep the talk on movies please?!
I am sure Al Gore is out to get you JohnRevik - go somewhere else.
Did any mexicans win some well deserved awards?
Just a curious dane asking. -
The political back and forth has been on going for 1200 talkbacks but now I make a valid point and it's 'bring it back to the movies'? 'An inconvenient Truth' won last night for best propaganda did it not? I am keeping it relevant Bumblebeeasshat.
-
The music is "The Aquarium" from "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saens. It was previously used in the cinematography doc "Visions of Light" and in Terence Malick's "Days of Heaven."
-
..."these five terribly depressing films" made me spit up my Coke. Funny.
-
Saw it before the Oscars on HD-DVD (go HD-DVD! Beat Blu-Ray!). Damn fine film! Perhaps one of Scorsese's most accessible entertaining films ever, along with "Goodfellas." Didn't see the other noms, but to anyone who didn't think it winning Best Picture was justified, then you could say it was as justifiable as "Ordinary People" beating out "Raging Bull" or the completely overbearing "Dances With Wolves" beating out "Goodfellas" for previous Best Pictures. In other words, the Oscars are just a bunch of hyped-up hooey anyway, so get over it!
-
Scorsese's next film is about a famous REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT Teddy Roosevelt....a conservationist too.
-
From scrolling, that is. This is one LOOONNNGGG talkback
The "Bring back Steve Martin" petition starts here -
Sorry, that´s pathetic! Everyone is bitching about the flood of remakes and sequels and prequel and that whole shit but as soon as a name like "Scorcese" drops, nobody seems to care about that lack in creativity, originality and enthusiasm anymore! Sorry, that just shows in what a poor state the whole movie-industry in the states is right now! If you like the previous (far superior) works of Scorcese that much, give him a Oscar for his lifetime-archivements, not for such a poor, lackluster and downright annoying remake to once original, thrilling movie from asian, called "Infernal affairs" (if anyone wants to know)!
-
down the decades. So why are we complaining now.
-
I think if they're going to give a remake an Oscar, then the original should get 2....or 5.
-
and less originality seems to be making it into theaters now.

First off, all of y'all who're calling Ellen a twat...stop, just...stop. If you don't like her, say so, or at the very least, TRY to come up with an intelligent insult. But o continually call her a twat, that's just offensively idiotic.
Second (Not that I expect anyone to read this far.) did anyone else catch the look of disappointment on Peter O'Toole's face when FOrrest Whittaker was announced as winner? I feel so sorry for him. He's such an amazing actor and his health isn't the best, and really...what're the chances of himgetting nominated again before he dies? -
got an Oscar.
Oh and everyone who was "surprised" Clint Eastwood knows Italian should be fucking embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves (considering the films that made him famous). Call yourselves film geeks! -
Regardless of the remake issue (I love BOTH Departed and Infernal Affairs), this wasn't his BEST film by far. It was excellent, but his contributions to cinema stretch waaaaaaay back. He should have gotten an Oscar ages ago.Peter O'Toole is gonna end up dead with one of those postmortem awards. I know it. I wish he'd just tear loose and start a blog where he textually fistfucks an ungrateful Hollywood.Little Miss Sunshine deserved the awards it got. The hate for this film on this site is ridiculous. I guess if it had giant robots, masked superheroes and Twinkies, it would be lauded on AICN as cinema greatness.Ellen just isn't "Oscar Host" funny. Billy Crystal PWNS Oscar Hosts.

He received the Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2003 Oscars

Hong Kong cinema has been primarily influenced by Martin Scorsese ever since John Woo took it to its present direction, so it's only fitting that Scorsese finally wins the Oscar for adapting one of their films. American and Asian cinema have been going back and forth for decades. Kind of like John Ford influenced Kuroswawa who influenced George Lucas and so forth.
-
So I guess the Academy doesn't need to recognize him for anything specific.
-
He won for Best Special Visual Effects at the 1968 Oscars for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Don't you people know how to use the internet?
-
You wouldn't like or understand this song you fucking fat slob.

That's like saying Scorcese's already won Oscars since DeNiro and the editor won for Raging Bull. I'm sure Scorcese "supervised" there.No, Kubrick was never given the props he deserved...like Marty. But, now that Marty has won, what will his filmmaking be like? Will it suffer?
-
I argue that the great Stanley Kubrick never really deserved a Best Director Oscar. A great deal of earning that award requires creating a film with a lot of deep and wide ranging emotions, basically from directing actors. Which of his films really has that? Kubrick, while a film virtuoso, had more of a talent for stong visual metaphors, irony, and humor. His films were never exhibitions of so-called "real emotions." Look at "Strangelove" or "Lolita", where all the actors were basically playing caricatures. "2001" was all about a stone faced astronaut and a talking machine. "Clockwork Orange"? Again, caricature-like acting. "Full Metal Jacket", while the first half rocks, it begins to suffer when we go to Vietnam. And sorry, "Eyes Wide Shut" wasn't that great, but by that time, Kubrick was near death. If he deserved a Best Director award for anything, maybe "Spartacus" or "Barry Lyndon", but that wasn't in the cards. No, Best Directors are all about people and emotions. Kubrick's films were never as emotional as they were cold, ironic, and intellectual. And his film were never so much about people as they were films with humans as pawns in some intellectual chess game, with Stanley as the master chess player.

All five documentaries seemed (I haven't seen any of them) to be propoganda. This is only a speculation based on the subject matter. But aren't most documentaries propoganda? Don't they propogate a position based on what they filmed?
-
Someone went to the trouble of looking to see if there was any truth to rumour that Peter O' toole was actually Irish and they discovered that He in fact hes not. O'toole has claimed that he was born in ireland but that he left to go to england. This new information says that he was born and raised in the UK. He is not Irish at all.
-
did, he, dare i say he looked at a little, er pissed......off!
-
next year give it to Kathy Griffin.
-
The film's voice is usually the director's, so there is always an agenda. To expose police corruption, to defend the police. To expose big business, to discredit consumer groups. To expose racism, to reinforce it. Etc.We need a "Dirty Little Secret" expose on AICN and the shadowy peccadilloes therein.
-
Is ridiculous. 10 of the last 20 Best Picture winners were from adapted material (novel, play, film).
-
Aww poor lil guy. Pats Tom Cruise on the head.
-
And "Kane" is actually a female politician in a futuristic matriarchal society. It could be OSCAR GOLD, I tell you!
-
I know, for me, if Marty lost it'd have been "Oh well, he never wins." I was surprised. The Academy managed to wrest their collective head out from betwixt their collective (and severely hemorrhoidal) asscheeks.
-
If that Harry-Oscar was made in real life, I'd want it sculpted ten-feet tall and all out of butter.
-
Yeah, maybe your fanboylove for Scorcese is. Even seen "infernal affairs"? I guess not. You would surely understand that it is a difference between adapting material and make it your own or creating something new with it just take the same screenplay, cast it with some A-list actors and film the same movie again for some viewer who are to stupid or ignorant to read subtitles. Sorry, as I see it, you could´ve gave the oscars to Gus Van Sant´s "Psycho"-Remake. Would make the same sense to me. The only difference is that most of the people already knew the original. So please take your fanboyheads out of Scorcese´s ass for god´s sake and try to be objective!
-
looked just like a red crayon... De-Lish.
-
Not The Naked Gun. That makes it even weirder.
-
...is your spelling, grammar use, and just plain clarity. Ridiculous even for a lowly fanboy talkback. I mean, what the hell are you talking about? And for the record, it's S-c-o-r-s-e-s-e not s-c-o-r-c-e-s-e...
-
These 3 directors are part of another plane of directing where oscars have no meaning and are looked upon cutely, yaknow when people awe at Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg standing up there together? they're bearded hobos compared to those 3 gents up there.
-
Harry - the vote was split with Dreamgirls having 3 songs in this category. Use your brain.
-
for correcting me. Seems you´ve got noting else to say to the topic at all (besides spelling the name of the overrated director of the most overrated flic of the year)!
-
Having multiple songs nominated from a movie usually means one of those songs will win, not that the votes will be split between them causing them all to lose. Historically, prior to this year, movies that had two or more songs nominated in the same year won twice as often as they lost overall, won three times as often as they lost in years when no other movie also had two or more songs nominated in that same year (there were two years where two movies each had two songs nominated), and no movie with three songs nominated in the same year had ever lost. Specifically, starting with the 1980 Oscars when "Fame" became the first movie to ever have more than one song nominated for the Best Song Oscar, eight films (1980 "Fame" - 2 songs; 1983 "Flashdance" - 2 songs; 1985 "White Nights" - 2 songs; 1989 "The Little Mermaid" - 2 songs; 1992 "Beauty and the Beast" - 3 songs; 1993 "Aladdin" - 2 songs; 1994 "Philadelphia" - 2 songs; and , 1995 "The Lion King" - 3 songs) have had multiple songs nominated in the same year and ended up with one of their songs winning the Oscar. Over that same time four other movies also had more than one song nominated in the same year (1983 "Yentl" - 2 songs; 1984 "Footloose" - 2 songs; 1993 "The Bodyguard" - 2 songs; and 2003 "Cold Mountain" - 2 songs) and ended up with none of their songs winning the Oscar. That's 8 winners to 4 losers for a 2:1 ratio overall. If you take away the two years (1983 with "Flashdance" and "Yentl" and 1993 with "Aladdin" and "The Bodyguard") where two movies each had two songs nominated thus ensuring that a multiple song nominee had to end up losing those years, that leaves 6 winners and 2 losers for a 3:1 ratio in years where only one movie had multiple songs nominated (like this year). And finally, prior to "Dreamgirls" this year, both of the two other movies that had ever managed to get three songs nominated in the same year ("Beauty and the Beast" in 1992 and "The Lion King" in 1995) had won the Best Song Oscar. That's the opposite of vote splitting. Regardless of the exact explanation, all of "Dreamgirls" songs losing out on the Best Song Oscar this year was quite an anomaly.
-
but what I have heard is that it is pretty medicore movie. All crtics on this of the pond praised Hudson's tour de force moment the towards the end of the movie. The name of the songs escapes me. I think Motown wants this film to just go away.

In 2003, in the AICN IRC Channel on Oscar Night, Anonymous cowards like InvaderZim, wixlet, and Huneybee were kicking anti-war comments like crazy. They hide behind their anonymous IRC identities without email addresses so they can gleefully keep from getting the ever-loving shit beat out of them. They know they'd be vomiting up blood in a ditch if it wasn't for their cowering behind their keyboards. Just for the record. Will post in every stream of consciousness thread in every subsequent year until they grow a sack and back up their words with actions.
