Harry's Annual Live Oscar Coverage 2007!!! Very State of Harry... beware

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.

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!

Why do we care about this shit? by Barry Egan	Feb 25th, 2007 06:00:31 PM
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.
EDDIE! EDDIE! EDDIE! by Freakjuice89	Feb 25th, 2007 06:02:15 PM

Death to Joan and Melissa by Barry Egan	Feb 25th, 2007 06:02:22 PM
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.

it's the queen by s0nicdeathmonkey	Feb 25th, 2007 06:04:02 PM
its gonna win. it's the most middle of the road choice. so, it will win.
but, the nominations were all screwy anyway by s0nicdeathmonkey	Feb 25th, 2007 06:05:18 PM
why weren't last king of Scotland, children of men, the fountain, and dream girls nominated for best picture?
Well, we all know... by halcyonseven	Feb 25th, 2007 06:10:15 PM
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.

hot fuzzzzzz by Evil Hobbit	Feb 25th, 2007 06:15:40 PM
best picture, director, screenplay, actor, clean sweep of the year, Scorcese pack your bags!
It's a travesty Carell wasn't nominated... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 06:16:20 PM
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.
paul greengrass will win director by Evil Hobbit	Feb 25th, 2007 06:18:48 PM
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.
why by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 06:19:12 PM
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...
Casino Royale by livrule	Feb 25th, 2007 06:20:50 PM
Should be up for best picture ...... Because its THAT damn good.
They should've cancelled the Academy Awards after by chrth	Feb 25th, 2007 06:23:41 PM
ROTK won everything. Nothing can top that for pure geekgasm experience.
ROFL, just saw Guillermo kissing some.. by Evil Hobbit	Feb 25th, 2007 06:23:56 PM

It's funny ... the good kind of funny by fearlesszero	Feb 25th, 2007 06:25:40 PM
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.
ROTK oscar night was one great X-perience by Evil Hobbit	Feb 25th, 2007 06:26:08 PM
never felt so happy at an award show before, fuck those pretentious snob films, big epic fantasy story wins it all.
fearlesszero by livrule	Feb 25th, 2007 06:27:40 PM
True ... But this year at least ONE of them really deserves it.
On second thought ... THANK GOD FOR OSCAR! by chrth	Feb 25th, 2007 06:27:43 PM

Countdown to the First Time Harrry Makes Some by Itchy	Feb 25th, 2007 06:28:18 PM
weird and totally disturbing sexual comment about some poor innocent chick onstage. My favorite part of Oscar coverage.
2nd beer by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 06:29:29 PM
Actually the live commentaries of aicn, chud and defamer make the whole thing worthwile, bearable and turn it into a stimulus satiation...
Seconded - ROTK Oscars was probably by Itchy	Feb 25th, 2007 06:30:23 PM
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 by Nick Michalak	Feb 25th, 2007 06:30:57 PM
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

PAN'S LABYRINTH by bmsatter	Feb 25th, 2007 06:32:42 PM
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.
Man, if Eastwood beats Scorsese again... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 06:33:07 PM
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.

flags and letters by Evil Hobbit	Feb 25th, 2007 06:35:25 PM
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.

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.

IndyCollector by Darth Hater	Feb 25th, 2007 07:39:21 PM
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.

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.

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.

johnnys2 by REBEL_SKUM	Feb 25th, 2007 07:50:55 PM
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
Everyone... by Lain Of The Net	Feb 25th, 2007 07:51:00 PM

it all feels a bit awkward by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 07:51:36 PM
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.

actually yes i do. at least i would have.
attention-retarded Americans suck by malamatijm	Feb 25th, 2007 07:53:57 PM

a RICKY BOBBY reference? by filmicdrummer17	Feb 25th, 2007 07:54:02 PM
Wow...that's all I can say. But Ferrell's house is interesting.
i really like this comedian stuff by TotallyGayForChristianBale	Feb 25th, 2007 07:54:21 PM
good for them recognizing their shortcomings.
What Ferrell is saying is very true... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 07:54:28 PM
Annie Hall winning is still a shock. A good shock, but I mean some comedies ARE deserving.
This number sucks. by FluffyUnbound	Feb 25th, 2007 07:54:32 PM
Why oh why do things like this get off the drawing board?

Geezers, this might be worst Oscar telecast ever... by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 07:55:57 PM
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.
black and ferrel - greatest Oscars ever by malamatijm	Feb 25th, 2007 07:56:07 PM
This has just made it the best fucking oscar ceromeny ever!
Nice juxtaposition with Boogie/Talladega Nights... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 07:56:36 PM
And yeah, Black's energy is making this.
now it's back to bad. except by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 07:56:48 PM

They're really holding off on Supporting Actor... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 08:01:10 PM
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.
Won't Someone... by Lain Of The Net	Feb 25th, 2007 08:01:17 PM

Too bad scandel bit Mel in the ass by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 08:01:21 PM
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.

"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
this is definitely not the worst oscars ever. by TotallyGayForChristianBale	Feb 25th, 2007 08:04:51 PM

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!
"West Bank Story" with Jews & Palestinians dancing? by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 08:05:43 PM

Worst. Oscars. Ever. by zacdilone	Feb 25th, 2007 08:06:06 PM
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.
Nice speech by RenoNevada2000	Feb 25th, 2007 08:06:13 PM
from the live action shorts guy

Jennifer Hudson took that godawful wrap off, yay! by BrokenHeath	Feb 25th, 2007 08:10:57 PM
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.
Will Smith's son by My Ass Smells	Feb 25th, 2007 08:11:19 PM

Ellen coorrected by Darth Hater	Feb 25th, 2007 08:13:52 PM
her Cruz/Mexican statment. I think Ellen is excellent as host and very funny!
This Oscars is, without question, worst ever by Itchy	Feb 25th, 2007 08:13:56 PM
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.
Nicholson by jgmamma0	Feb 25th, 2007 08:14:02 PM
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.
That sound effect thing would have been impressive by RenoNevada2000	Feb 25th, 2007 08:14:03 PM
If they actually let us see the film clips.

One of the few nominees I didn't see, and I'm sure it's good, but Scorsese better not lose to Eastwood again.

It's not Steven Seagal will ever win an oscar by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 08:17:40 PM
...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.
Biel shoulda worn a tighter dress. Bitch. by TotallyGayForChristianBale	Feb 25th, 2007 08:17:51 PM

Hm. Well, good on him.
Alan Arkin ?!? Bullshit. by Itchy	Feb 25th, 2007 08:23:55 PM
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.
I would have liked to have seen Wahlberg win... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 08:23:55 PM
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!
wrong song? by master bitchfist	Feb 25th, 2007 08:24:18 PM
was that the wrong song for alan arkin??
am i getting this shit early? what the hell? by TotallyGayForChristianBale	Feb 25th, 2007 08:24:35 PM
I'm like 6 seconds ahead of all you fuckers.
that's it for LMS by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 08:24:55 PM
It's painful to only see Weisz as a presenter...torture! Arkin's win is great. End it's enough for LMS.
How awesome would it have been if Carell... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 08:24:58 PM
had won an Oscar? That'd have been wonderful.
Alan Arkin was the best thing in that film by MontyPigeon	Feb 25th, 2007 08:25:00 PM
The film however deserves to not even be nominated for Best Picture. Good on him, its better than Mr Murphy getting it.
Cool...He's a class act..... by Jimmy Jazz	Feb 25th, 2007 08:25:04 PM
But I wasn't a fan of the movie itself.

Just not as good as Arkin.
I wonder if that screenplay she gave Scorsese... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 08:26:36 PM

Ellen plays an ass-kissing sycophant to Marty & co by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 08:27:15 PM
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"

You're right. by AngelCordy	Feb 25th, 2007 08:28:17 PM
Eddie WAS robbed. Alan Arkin did not wow me at all in LMS. In fact, no one besides Carell did. This SUCKS.
Too bad for Eddie by Palooka	Feb 25th, 2007 08:28:18 PM
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.

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.

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?

Crusty by Subovon	Feb 25th, 2007 08:38:57 PM
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.

AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 08:40:53 PM
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.
Ah, Jackson Brown, so that's who it was! by Uncapie	Feb 25th, 2007 08:40:59 PM

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.
Beleated Oscars by Palooka	Feb 25th, 2007 08:42:34 PM
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.

I'm very happy that Alan Arkin won... by JimmyLoneWolf	Feb 25th, 2007 08:56:01 PM
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...
Departed deserved it over Children of Men... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 08:56:31 PM

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...

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.

Defunct Gamer by JimmyLoneWolf	Feb 25th, 2007 09:11:46 PM
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.
OK that was funny... by RenoNevada2000	Feb 25th, 2007 09:12:04 PM

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.

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.

I still can't believe THE by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 09:52:34 PM
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.

I agree about Dreamgirls. by OhioBobcat	Feb 25th, 2007 09:57:34 PM
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.)

The Departed was overated. Good film but overrated. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Feb 25th, 2007 09:59:44 PM
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.
Dion by Dwarves	Feb 25th, 2007 09:59:47 PM

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.

Is Clint having that prompted to him or... by OhioBobcat	Feb 25th, 2007 10:02:56 PM
...or is he just that cool?
The Departed is NOT overrated by Itchy	Feb 25th, 2007 10:03:06 PM
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.

I just saw it and, for whatever faults may be found with the movie, the costumes were amazing.

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.

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!!

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...
what a story drturing by slappy jones	Feb 25th, 2007 10:21:00 PM
woah...i guess we should all kind of hate him now.
Fox News by rainbowtrout1265	Feb 25th, 2007 10:21:01 PM
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.
I'm glad Jennifer Hudson won. by glodene	Feb 25th, 2007 10:21:04 PM
She's a legend.
oh it will be wacky by Palooka	Feb 25th, 2007 10:21:30 PM
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.
Little Miss Sunshine even more overrated by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Feb 25th, 2007 10:21:32 PM
I watched it. Other then Arkin that movie was shit. Not as funny as I was hyped up to believe.
Both LMS and Pan's Overrated by malamatijm	Feb 25th, 2007 10:21:56 PM

I actually can't believe Beyonce is letting someone else sing this.
I never thought I would ever say this by MontyPigeon	Feb 25th, 2007 10:25:36 PM
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!

Good sci-fi/fantasy usually only get technical awards. by BrokenHeath	Feb 25th, 2007 10:27:39 PM
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 Hollywood Wankers by Itchy	Feb 25th, 2007 10:27:42 PM

WAHOO OSCAR FINALLY MADE HAPPY by malamatijm	Feb 25th, 2007 10:32:32 PM
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?
BTW: Al Gore aint running for prez after tonight folks. by Gambers2000	Feb 25th, 2007 10:32:37 PM

Melissa E. bravely declare her woman partner "wife" by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 10:33:29 PM
...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.

Question about Best Score - Anyone know? by DarthCorleone	Feb 25th, 2007 10:37:34 PM
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.
Ethridge by Defunct Gamer	Feb 25th, 2007 10:37:43 PM
"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.

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.
the montage by AllieJamison	Feb 25th, 2007 10:51:10 PM
it wasnt put together very elegantly, I gotta agree on that ...but the pieces were cool...and insightful

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.

Too much LMS hating... by DanielKurland	Feb 25th, 2007 11:01:13 PM
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.

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...
Forest Whitaker by memento108	Feb 25th, 2007 11:04:53 PM
An Oscar now, and an Emmy later this year for ER. Good job.

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!

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.

WTF! Departed is nothing but a glorified re-make by BadWaldo s Revenge	Feb 25th, 2007 11:25:33 PM
...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 >:-(

Yay, Marty! by viola123	Feb 25th, 2007 11:31:13 PM
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.

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.

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.

One of the best seriously... by spectrebeeyatch	Feb 25th, 2007 11:54:51 PM
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!

jfp2006 by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Feb 25th, 2007 11:57:58 PM
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.

The Departed was alright for a cop flick. by Juggernaut125	Feb 26th, 2007 12:00:22 AM
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)
Congrats, Scorsese...but The Departed sucked. by Fa Fa Fooey	Feb 26th, 2007 12:00:37 AM
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.
Re: George Newman by Norman Bates	Feb 26th, 2007 12:00:58 AM
I'm sorry but The Aviator was gayer than Lance Bass.

The Academy HATES George Lucas... by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Feb 26th, 2007 12:07:14 AM
...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. ;)
Yeah, well JHud made a funny comment when by superninja	Feb 26th, 2007 12:07:33 AM
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..."

NEWSFLASH!!! FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS!!! by wackybantha	Feb 26th, 2007 12:15:56 AM
STEVEN SPIELBERG TO DIRECT STAR WARS EPISODES 7, 8 AND 9!!! OMG!!!
oscar wrapup by oisin5199	Feb 26th, 2007 12:18:50 AM
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.

Ellen... by SuckLeTrou	Feb 26th, 2007 12:24:39 AM
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.
Gore joke by Poacher	Feb 26th, 2007 12:25:45 AM
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?

Worst Oscars Ever... For Cleavage by Alonzo Mosely	Feb 26th, 2007 12:27:44 AM

Great to see the Departed glory! by Evil Hobbit	Feb 26th, 2007 12:34:48 AM
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.

George Miller by Cilohocla	Feb 26th, 2007 12:45:21 AM
The George Miller who won for Happy Feet is not the same one who did the Mad Max movies.
Lives of Others award is deserved by Mgmax	Feb 26th, 2007 12:48:13 AM
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.

Bittersweet by T 1000 xp professional	Feb 26th, 2007 12:57:13 AM
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..
Bittersweet Cont... by T 1000 xp professional	Feb 26th, 2007 01:03:30 AM
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!
The Oscars proved they were a joke... by thedingo311	Feb 26th, 2007 01:06:07 AM
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.
GOOD by lionbiu	Feb 26th, 2007 01:09:25 AM
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).
BEST MOMENT OF THE NIGHT... by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Feb 26th, 2007 01:12:32 AM
...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... by SuckLeTrou	Feb 26th, 2007 01:13:33 AM
....... 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.
A few things by SithMenace	Feb 26th, 2007 01:17:00 AM
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	Feb 26th, 2007 01:30:40 AM

Gentlemen, we now live in a world where Martin Scorsese by LlGHTST0RMER	Feb 26th, 2007 01:31:46 AM

I'm not trying to hate by thedingo311	Feb 26th, 2007 01:35:48 AM
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.

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.
Harry fears shadows because he either never sees his... by BrokenHeath	Feb 26th, 2007 01:51:33 AM

Departed was incredibly ordinary...wake up you morons by quantize	Feb 26th, 2007 02:09:35 AM
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..
Oscars online or televised again? by mrjordan	Feb 26th, 2007 02:15:09 AM

quantize, i completely disagree by iwontwin	Feb 26th, 2007 02:19:18 AM
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?

Babel by Mister Man	Feb 26th, 2007 02:27:30 AM
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.
Erm, anyone besides me see "Heroes"? by Doc Savant	Feb 26th, 2007 02:29:29 AM
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.
Shadow People..... by Mister Man	Feb 26th, 2007 02:33:51 AM
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.
Jennifer Holiday by Mister Man	Feb 26th, 2007 02:40:25 AM
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.
Thelma Scoonmaker by Mister Man	Feb 26th, 2007 02:46:58 AM
Winner of the Editing Oscar, is the widow of director Michael Powell, to whom she was introduced by Scorsese! Worthy footnote.
At least Jennifer Holiday has lost weight. by BrokenHeath	Feb 26th, 2007 02:52:19 AM
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 Scorsese finally won, huh? by chrth	Feb 26th, 2007 03:13:52 AM

Harry has pretty good taste by Rupee88	Feb 26th, 2007 03:20:05 AM
He hates Ellen and Little Miss Sunshine and he likes the cool movies like Pans Labyrinth and Children of Men.
Departed was better than Crash and Million Dollar Baby by Rupee88	Feb 26th, 2007 03:21:10 AM
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.
WTF??? 1236 posts??? About....what??? by Motoko Kusanagi	Feb 26th, 2007 04:18:03 AM
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!
Just caught Children of Men....... by Doc_Strange	Feb 26th, 2007 04:23:23 AM
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.
There ought to be a rule by The Selecter	Feb 26th, 2007 04:40:10 AM
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.
Well... by Crimson King	Feb 26th, 2007 04:54:03 AM
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.
Oh... by Crimson King	Feb 26th, 2007 05:05:25 AM
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.
Scorccese should have won for Aviator not a remake by KillaKane	Feb 26th, 2007 05:13:40 AM
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'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME MARTY WON!! by williamD	Feb 26th, 2007 05:46:03 AM
It wasn't his best movie, but who cares?
Oscar Wrap Up by Itchy	Feb 26th, 2007 06:11:15 AM
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.
I have not seen the departed, iwo jima, by emeraldboy	Feb 26th, 2007 06:22:06 AM
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.

cars by emeraldboy	Feb 26th, 2007 06:47:04 AM
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.
yes watch Departed again, and then Infernal Affairs by quantize	Feb 26th, 2007 06:49:33 AM
...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..
Mirren has won by emeraldboy	Feb 26th, 2007 06:51:00 AM
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.

Lucas is guaranteed to never win an Oscar by Darth_Gonz	Feb 26th, 2007 07:19:51 AM
Simply due to the fact that he was responsible for Howard The Duck. It's shit like that which stains one's career forever.
Lucas has an oscar by emeraldboy	Feb 26th, 2007 07:39:20 AM
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.
montage of best films (ignored ones) of 06 by AllieJamison	Feb 26th, 2007 07:46:28 AM
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.

Lives of Others by Buffalo500	Feb 26th, 2007 08:22:06 AM
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!)

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...

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.

George Lucas Deserves Oscars by Itchy	Feb 26th, 2007 10:19:09 AM
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.

Anyone who thinks The Departed was "not good" by Itchy	Feb 26th, 2007 11:02:25 AM
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.

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.
Re Bringsexyback by BobParr	Feb 26th, 2007 11:14:46 AM
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?

yes, BobParr, the climate constantly changes by just pillow talk	Feb 26th, 2007 11:56:11 AM
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?
CHILDREN OF FUCKING MEN!!!! by Gilkuliehe	Feb 26th, 2007 11:59:55 AM
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.
Oscar observations by mrbong	Feb 26th, 2007 12:04:49 PM
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.
Other inconvenient truths by BobParr	Feb 26th, 2007 12:13:59 PM
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.

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.

(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?

emeraldboy by PwnedByStallone	Feb 26th, 2007 12:36:28 PM
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.
Not getting defensive Mr. Sexy by BobParr	Feb 26th, 2007 12:43:37 PM
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.
People like BobParr by PwnedByStallone	Feb 26th, 2007 12:46:53 PM
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.
Darth Hater, you killed me by just pillow talk	Feb 26th, 2007 12:46:57 PM
"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.

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!
Departed Oscar best picture. Goodfellas & Ragin Bull-NO by Orionsangels	Feb 26th, 2007 01:07:09 PM
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.
Bringing Out the Dead 2 by scoooot	Feb 26th, 2007 01:16:13 PM

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.

Just asking if you think there is global warming.
Pillow by PwnedByStallone	Feb 26th, 2007 02:43:49 PM
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.

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.
Slappy and environmentalists by skimn	Feb 26th, 2007 02:57:11 PM
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.

Species going extinct is the way of Nature. by Hideo Kojima	Feb 26th, 2007 04:03:15 PM
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.

The Oscars were "green"?!? by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Feb 26th, 2007 04:16:06 PM
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.

my take by crashbarbarian	Feb 26th, 2007 04:35:52 PM
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.

Infernal Affairs IS NOT JAPANESE by Maggie	Feb 26th, 2007 04:47:05 PM
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.
Different movies touch different people... by moto	Feb 26th, 2007 04:51:54 PM
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.
The best documentary of the year was by emeraldboy	Feb 26th, 2007 04:53:45 PM
ENRON THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM! no nomination for that. bah!
Yay Marty won!!! by kafka07	Feb 26th, 2007 04:54:37 PM
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.

Departed deserved it in that list by Jack Burton	Feb 26th, 2007 06:19:44 PM
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.

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 Departed" as Best Picture by Chishu_Ryu	Feb 26th, 2007 09:54:48 PM
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!

"Best movie" is a remake of a far better asian movie? by joergn	Feb 27th, 2007 05:34:19 AM
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)!

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?

No Oscar for Raging Bull = Pee on Optimus Prime by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 09:35:17 AM
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.

Hong Kong Cinema owes Scorsese... by Chishu_Ryu	Feb 27th, 2007 10:38:38 AM
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.

An Oscar for supervising special effects (Kubrick) by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 12:59:46 PM
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?
Stanley Kubrick and the Oscars by Chishu_Ryu	Feb 27th, 2007 01:40:25 PM
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.

RETURN OF THE KING! WOW THE OSCARS ARE RELEVANT! EVEN THOUGH I SAY HOW THEY ARE BULLSHIT NOW I AM HAPPY. 2004 - Million Dollar Baby. WHAT! It supports death! Worst best picture ever! 2005 Crash... we all know what happened there. I never saw a backlash that big before. And now even for the fucking Departed which I think most people would agree was a GOOD film are going... WORST BEST PICTURE EVER. And for all the people saying how it was just "Marty's time," I know if he hadn't won you'd be saying how he was robbed. And if Babel had won best pic, hmmm let me guess. WORST BEST PICTURE EVER. P.S. If the Oscars are so pointless and worthless, and you nerds hate them, why are there so many comments on this talk back?

@ZooTrain: Ridiculous? by joergn	Feb 27th, 2007 05:19:38 PM
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!

That theory doesn't quite hold true, decfx. by ExcaliburFfolkes	Feb 28th, 2007 02:10:14 AM
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.
I havent seen Dreamgirls by emeraldboy	Feb 28th, 2007 07:04:51 AM
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.
