[JonathanLB]

I'll think it over.

"FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM - Hero"

I bought this film on VCD, but still haven't watched it quite yet.

[Admiral Lebron]

I had never heard of any of those films... honestly..

[JonathanLB]

Don't feel bad -- only 1 of those movies even opened in Portland. Even as a critic, I never heard of 3 of those 5 films. I don't understand how they even managed to nominate them. Everyone has heard of Y Tu Mama Tambien or Talk to Her who is at all interested in film, but they were shut out of the foreign categories for various reasons (technical reasons actually).

I have heard a lot about Hero and can't wait to watch my copy of it, but the only other one I had heard of was El Crimen Del Padro or whatever. That played here at Fox Tower 10, but the others never played in Portland I am positive.

I just wonder how they manage to nominate films that nobody saw. I hadn't even heard of critics mentioning those movies before.

[CMJ]

Its not fair... you Europeons got the results before us so you had a chance to change your answers.


Darn time zones.

[ReaperFett]

Okay, someone else can finsih up if they want :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

HOLY CRAP! Best Song went to HIM???????

0_0

The world has ended, surely

[ReaperFett]

My sentiments exactly :)

[sirdizzy]

i was shocked eminem won and i was shocked roman polaski won


but it was a give me on chicago

[Jedi Master Carr]

I know Enieme was a huge shocker. Polanski well it was a surprise, actually after that I thought the Pianist was going to win because they won 3 of the top awards, it surprising Chicago won really consider the only other big Oscar it won was Best Supporting Actress.

[sirdizzy]

i thought they didfairly well they did win 6 overall oscars which is pretty good


this years oscars felt like1994 to me i don't mind chicago winning and i plan on getting it on dvd even though i thought lord of the rings should win

i wanted shawshank to win in 94 but was happy with forrest gump both movies i have owned on vhs and dvd (i gave my vhs' away when i replaced them with dvd's)

[CMJ]

Great stuff...some HUGE shockers.

One of the better ceremonies as far as drama goes...and it came in on time!

[Jedi Master Carr]

I know that was a shock itself :p

[ReaperFett]

I did supporting actress btw, thats a typo. Ill do the rest when I get home :)

[CMJ]

I think my favorite moment was Peter O'Toole's honorary montage...and speech. Really classy. One of my favorite actors.

A personal favorite was also Conrad Hall's posthumous award. Not only was the award deserved(and SOMETHING went RTP's way) but his son's speech was really sentimental.

"The Pianist" won in three upsets. By the end I was thinking it would take the big one too.

[ReaperFett]

When you think about it, I feel Polanski was the likely winner. Like Kidman, they have had A LOT of press. Keeps them in the publics thoughts.



Im glad Brodey won though. The others all won before. And Cage and Nicholson (WHo cracked me up when called gay :)) looked genuinely pleased for him.

[CMJ]

All of them looked happy for Brody. Jack Nicholson went "Wow"(read his lips) and clapped thunderously. DDL clapped heavily too.

As for Polanski...it's still a huge upset. To honor someone who's still on the lam after all these years was a big deal. I didn't think the majority of voters would be willing to bestow the award upon him.

[ReaperFett]

Suppose the actual victim saying she wanted him to win helped

[CMJ]

She didn't say she *wanted* him to win. She said the rape against her should not be taken into account when they were deciding if they should honor his work or not.

Still, I didn't feel they actually WOULD give it to him. Still as a great director, he most definitely deserves an Oscar. While "The Pianist" was not my personal choice for Best Pic(or Director) the direction was flawless. Understated, and not flashy...perfect for the film.

Way to go Roman!

[ReaperFett]

They better commit Martin to a long term contract after his performance though :)

[CMJ]

I believe you're referencing Scorcese's standing 'O' of Plonaski. I felt that was genuine. I believe the two are friends.

Besides it was better losing to a "master" than a first timer. Scorcese has lost to 2 first timers in the past...a third woulda been terrible.

[JMK]

Did he mean Martin Scorcese or Steve Martin?:lol

[ReaperFett]

I meant Martin. I dont care if Scorsese and his controlling eyebrows never work again, just never let Whoopi Goldberg host again! :)

Congrats Dutchy, congrats me :D

[Jedi Master Carr]

You and Dutchy did a great job picking, congrats. I liked Martin he was funny last night. Still think Crystal has been the best over the last 10 years, I bet he will do it again next year maybe he and Martin could switch back and forth for a while.

[Dutchy]

Woohoo! :)

Naming yourself first, Fett. Pooh on you! Oh, and congrats of course. :p

[ReaperFett]

COurse I was first. I picked Kidman, who I just decided was the dtiebraker for who goes first ;)

[CMJ]

It was the worst year I've had as far as predicting goes in years! There were just so many upsets.

[ReaperFett]

9/24 is good. Especially considering how many we ALL missed out on :)

[Dutchy]

You 'predicted' Walken and threw in a career Oscar. I picked Chris Cooper and I was right. :p

[Jedi Master Carr]

What did everybody think of Michael Moore, I knew he was going to say something when he won, he loves to start contraversy.

[CMJ]

I felt like slugging him. For a liberal community like HOLLYWOOD to basically boo him off the stage shows he was out of line.

[Dutchy]

Originally posted by Jedi Master Carr

Great.

Of course the Oscars shouldn't be a war show, but in a land of freedom of speech it was a welcome sound, or I thought so anyway.

[ReaperFett]

He had the chance to say something poignant. Instead, he sounded like some ignorant guy who doesnt have any facts but wants to make a big stink. When he started his speech, he had a good number of cheers. By the end, it was HEAVILY in the boos.



I mean, Im sure the fake talent of him (On a fake Slim-Fast plan;)) would be shut up by those fake pictures of the fake Kurds the fake Iraq used fake chemical weapons on. Shame his fake braincells didnt bother to make an actual point :)

[Dutchy]

True, it wasn't the bestest of speeches. :)

But still, at least he worded the opinion of the anti-war people.

[sirdizzy]

i think he has the right to speak his mind, it is a free country but it was obviously a low key show and he may have gone too far (most actors just flashed peace signs)

[CMJ]

Susan Sarandon's simple peace sign was far more effective. :p

[ReaperFett]

Id agree there. It said "I disagree. Period"

[Dutchy]

I'd say "Shame on you, Mr. Bush!" is a much more powerful sign.

[ReaperFett]

Not when he starts shouting out like a 12 year old.


And "Shame on you Mr Bush" while most the place is BOOING is not powerful to me :)

[Dutchy]

I didn't hear any booing, to be honest, but, like I said, his speech did need a lick of paint here and there.

BTW, shouldn't we be having this discussion here (http://swforums.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28148&perpage=50&pagenumber=8), mr. moderator? :)

[CMJ]

You didn't hear him getting booed? He was practically getting fruit thrown at him. :p

[Dutchy]

Nope, they only showed a short fragment. Actually, Moore was the ONLY Oscar footage most stations showed (so far). Guess he made some impression. :p

[CMJ]

He just started the whole thing off wrong. He called the legitimacy of Bush's election into question. That was not a good way to begin a speech.

He was just railing against something that happened over 2 years ago. Granted at the time alot of the country was torn, heck it divided us a nation for a good while. Dear lord though, we're way past that now. It just put the crowd in a foul mood.

[ReaperFett]

So he cant even make a RELEVENT speech :)



And everyone else who mentioned the war got applause, as they were respectful. Brodey got a standing ovation. Respect to them :)

[Dutchy]

Okay, okay... Moore's speech sucked. :\

(but... :p)

[ReaperFett]

The Douglas' presenting the best picture was brilliant :)

[Admiral Lebron]

I missed it...

Anyone with the stupidity to call Bush's election into question (face it, it was legal and by the rules) automatically gets dismissed as a crackpot to me. As much as I liked Bowling for Columbine and I think it made some very good points, Moore's speech was.... dumb. Very dumb.

[Admiral Lebron]

Thats right... silly Brit.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Did you see some of the stars laughing, I guess they were think what an idiot. I saw Ford and Nicholson just laughing away at him.

[CMJ]

Some looked really uncomfortable, some were laughing.

Obviously alot of people were booing. One of the hardest things I've ever had to watch at the Oscar's. Moore is a moron. :p

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well it wasn't the most embarrassing what about that streaker who ran behind David Nevin.

[CMJ]

That was a bit before my time. ;) This was the worst I'VE personally seen live.

[Jedi Master Carr]

True before mine as well :p It had to be the funniest moment, I can't remember what Nevin said but it was hysterical.

[ReaperFett]

I heard it recently :)


Something about small things, or not a lot, or little, or similar :)

[CMJ]

Something like this...

"Isn't it funny that the only laugh that man will ever recieve is to strip down and show everyone his inadequices."

Ah, last place belongs to ME!!!! I only chose picks I wanted to win. I ignored most of the telecast the other night. I just didn't feel like watching it. I tuned in for one quick moment and saw the Best Oscar winner's speech. I thought THAT was a classy way to make a statement for peace and show support for a soldier at the same time.

As for Moore, I only heard audio of it and the boos sounded quite loud. But back stage he was quoted as saying only "4" people or so were booing. Damn, those must have been some pretty loud people.

As for Polanski, isn't the charge against him Statutory Rape? That I could live with, but if it was against her will and violent, then screw him. I'm not condoning some 30 year old having sex with a 15 year old, but I do come from a family tree that started with my 30 year old Cuban grandfather marrying my grandmother at 15 and then having a family that included 11 children. Different world, different social norms.

Sex with a 13 year old, rape. I bet the guy is majorly messed up though, 10 years before Charles Manson killed his pregnant wife.


Ironic though, that he isnt allowed in the country for having sex with someone half his age, and recieves his award from Harrison Ford :)

Manson killed his wife only 3 or 4 years before I believe. I think that did screw with his mind.

Not that I condone what Polanski did.

[ReaperFett]

Nor I

[JMK]

I don't think anyone does.

That was an awful thing Manson really ruined him. I don't condone it either. Also I have heard that he did the act at Nicholson's house, I wonder how much Jack knew.

Not sure, though the two remain good friends.
