2004 Oscar Awards Competion

[ReaperFett]

Once again, the Oscar picks competition return. But this time, there is a prize. The winner gets a free @sw-fans.net email account.


So, rules of play. Below is the full listing of the Oscar nominees for 2004. Go through, and pick who you think will win each. KEEP THE ORDER THE SAME. For every correct prediction, you get a point. The one with the most points wins. In the case of the tie, the one who got best movie correct wins. If still tied, it's who got the most points from best actor and actress. Then for supporting roles. If still tied, the win is tied.

PLEASE keep to one post for picks. If you change your mind or make changes, do it in the original thread.

Posting to say what you chaged or why you edited is appreciated though :)

If Anne Lennox wins for that terrible song than its rigged :p How did that thing get nominated. Maybe its just because I don't like Lennox I don't know.

If the sweep ends, it'll be with Adapted Screenplay. I think Seabiscuit is going to steal that one.

Yeah, probably. I picked 10 /11, so I'm sure it'll lose one.

edit : Wrong again, 9 from 9. This is amazing.

Tho, director and BP are bagged. Cant see them going elsewhere.

Even I'm now WTF'ed. This is unbelieveable. The thing about fantasy and Sci-fi getting no respect from the acadamy is over.

[CMJ]

I knew it would go 11/11 once it one Score. Even if that had been the first award of the evening I woulda said 11/11 right then.

Why?

John Williams couldn't win 2 Oscars for the SW or IJ series. That sealed it.

Okay, Firgin and Eb appear to be tied, and I can't seperate them :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

SWEEP!!! LOTR SWEPT!!!!

I have to do me a sig crowing over this :D Congratulations to all the crew and cast for a wonderful 2+ years experiencing the best damn trilogy of all time. 17 Oscars, god knows how many other awards, almost 3 billion in box office, 2 billion in DVD / Video and god knows how much in mechandise.

Absolutly deserved. Again, well done and a heart felt thank you from a Tolkein Geek. we are extremely happy!!

[Droo]

Yes we are precious. I have to admit, I was in no way expecting a total eleven for eleven sweep but I anticipated the Best Director and Best Picture awards and all I have to say about it is that it is more than deserved and such a wonderful note to end on. I'm so pleased to be in the knowledge that the ROTK posters and DVDs will have "Winner of 11 Acadamy Awards including Best PIcture and Best Director".

As a side note, I'm devastated that Murray didn't win Best Actor although I'd much rather have Depp win than Penn, this didn't happen either which was a shame. And I'm also over the moon that Sofia Coppola's talent was not only recognised so well in nominations but awarded at least in Best Original Screenplay. She wouldn't have deserved to go home empty handed and she wont - well done that girl.

[Figrin D'an]

Yeah, it looks like Jedieb and I are tied. We both had the same picks for Picture, Actor and Actress, and we split on the Supporting acting winners.

Co-Champs. Congrats, Eb. :)

Agreed, 100%.

I don't dislike Sean Penn or anything, but Bill Murray really deserved the award. Lost in Translation was a great film, and his performance was fantastic. I was so happy that Sophia Coppola won for Best Original Screenplay. In any other year, she probably would have won Best Director, but being that this was Peter Jackson's year (and deservedly so), the competition was too stiff. But, as you said, her talent was recognized, which is great to see.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Great speech Peter :D

The Oscar award winning director of Meet The Feebles and Braindead, The Frighteners and some lil production about hobbits.

And, if we're lucky, maybe about a hobbit and a dragon in a few years.

:)

[CMJ]

I'm not sure I'm *happy* that ROTK won all eleven - even though it's my #1 movie of last year. Nonetheless, I'm very pleased for it. I'm even more happy that I can tell off all the folks who said the Academy has an anti-fantasy bias. I never really thought that it did.

I was really happy for Theron, as it's the best performance I've seen in some time. Rest of the winners were all pretty well deserved too(even though I found LiT incredibly overrated).

We can only hope. Unfortunantly, aftetr this, we'll expecting a life changing event, much like we over expected for TPM. Jackson certainly delivered well and truly beyond anyone expectations.

[CMJ]

Steven Spielberg gave a great interview on the LOTR phenomenon on the E! Post-Oscar show.

[imported_Grev Drasen]

I should get a prize for coming in dead last.

[Marcus Telcontar]

The Sweep is the No 1 news item in aust and from reports in New Zealand, Peter Jackson has been officially turned into a Deity.

[ReaperFett]

I think overall they were pretty dissapointing Oscars from a watching POV. LOTR won everything, good for it, but where were the suprises? The safe money was on LOTR, Penn, Robbins, Zellwegger and Theron, who all won.


It'd be iteresting to know how many voted for ROTK in EVERYTHING.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Hey I came in 3rd place!

That's what I get for knowing nothing about the documentary/short films. :p

[JMK]

I got Harvie Krumpet right??? :lol

[CMJ]

I doubt that ROTK won overwhelmingly in all 11 categories. It probably squeaked out a handful here and there.

But the vast majority it probably won by a comfortable margin. The last time there was a sweep this big was 'The Last Emperor' which went 9/9. Oddly enough it had no acting noms either. I guess if you're the fave..with no acting noms...you're gonna sweep. ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Woohoo, go LOTR. We spent our whole Film Studies class today discussing the Oscars, who won and who we thought deserved to win. The lecturer was livid about Lost in Translation not taking home best picture.

I woulda been livid *if* it had one. By far my least favorite of the BP nominees.

[Figrin D'an]

Did this person seriously expect LiT to have a chance at Best Picture?

[Dasquian Belargic]

He said he didn't expect them to win, no, but he would have liked if it did. His theory is that the good movies never win BP, and then he went off on a ramble about Martin Scorsese never getting any recognition.

[Figrin D'an]

eh... sometimes they win, sometimes they don't. Scorsese, in a couple of instances, probably should have won one of the big two, but that was a while ago, for Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Gangs of New York, for example, didn't win and justifably so, IMO.



Anyway... it's all perspective. I liked LiT, but ROTK deserved to win more in my eyes, thus making it a good Oscar year for me. Others will disagree, but that's life. The only thing a bit strange this year was the lack of upsets... there's usually one or two complete surprises, and they didn't happen this time.

a) Okay, he has a point about Scorsese

b) Nice slam on ROTK, not including it as a good movie. He's a movie snob :p And in that case, I'm glad ROTK got 11 from 11 and upset his apple cart, because it fully deserved it's BP. About time the Acadamy got it right.

[CrimsonDiablo]

The only reason our lecturer wanted LiT to win so badly is because he is in love with Sofia, as far as he is concered she can do no wrong! And he was making judgements about ROTK without even having seen it!!!! Also he was sooo wrong about Big Fish sucking.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Did Ben-Hur Sweep? I was thinking it did but wasn't sure.

No. It won 11 Oscars, but it didn't sweep. Same with Titanic.

The only other sweeps were Gigi and The Last Emperor (both went 9/9).

[ReaperFett]

Ben Hur was 11/14, Titanic 11/12 IIRC.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Okay I wasn't sure for some reason I thought Ben-Hur swept not sure why.

[Droo]

It was the other way around with Titanic having the total of fourteen nominations.

[CMJ]

I believe 'It Happened One Night' also swept. Of course it's sweep was only 5/5.

Even though I'm not the biggest LOTR fan in the world, I'll have to agree there. Anybody who can't recognize ROTK as one of the most deserving films of 2003 is just being bitter.

[ReaperFett]

Gotta say, the ending to the Oscars was terrible. All the winners walk out to applause? Is this the Oscars or an under 5s award ceremony? :lol

[Jedieb]

Congrats Fig, and to Marcus and the other diehard LOTR fans. I think that last night's sweep wasn't just for ROTK, but for the ENTIRE trilogy. I think a lot of Academy voters recognized Jackson's work for all 3 films. That context is what I think helped ROTK sweep its nominations.

[Jedieb]

Fashion
Where would E! or Entertainment Tonight be without the red carpet nonsense? Well, I've got my fashion report! It begins and ends with the best dressed celebrity of the night. My Best Dressed Award goes to....
Peter Jackson!

Jackson looked as if he dropped by a Goodwill store on the way to the show and picked up a suit right off the rack. If you watch the extra DVD material or any number of interviews with Jackson you know this guy is about as down to Earth as you'll get. He walks around in ill fitting polo shirts and baggy shorts. I really liked the fact that he showed up looking as if New Line gave him millions to make his films, but denied him 50 cents to buy a comb. Way to represent the slob in all of us Jackson! :thumbup

[ReaperFett]

Saw the highlights, the clips made Penn's performance look even worse the second time round. Overacting to the extent that Al Pacino would say so! :lol

[CMJ]

I thought Penn was brilliant in that role.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Still I just can't stand Sean Penn and it made me mad he won. I guess it is this whole crap about hating Hollywood yet he still excepts checks from them that hypocritical crap I don't care for. I would have rather seen Murray or Deep win.

[ReaperFett]

Actor Bill Murray shocked guests at Sunday night's Academy Awards - when he refused to clap as rival nominee Sean Penn was named Best Actor. The Lost In Translation star looked annoyed when Nicole Kidman announced Penn had won for his performance in Mystic River. According to British newspaper The Sun, Murray later shouted at organizers, "If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have bothered coming." The 53-year-old comedian has made no secret of his dislike of award ceremonies, and didn't show up to collect the Best Actor award at London's BAFTAs last month. Murray has said, "Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one. It's a really unattractive sight to see an actor or actress who really wants an Oscar. And you often see it on the show - you see their faces and the desperation is so ugly."
He's a pretty unlikable guy really.

[Droo]

Not at all, I love his attitude towards the Oscars and the industry. He deserved to win the Best Actor award as far as I am concerned and the standing ovation for Penn irritated me, I just thought, why him? What's so special about him?

[ReaperFett]

So you shouldn't clap, You should sulk? That's what children do, not actors.



And if he doesn't care about awards, he shouldn't go to any award ceremonies.

[Salem Ave]

So you shouldn't clap, You should sulk? That's what children do, not actors.

Why not? The ceremony was conducted like they were dealing with children (see: the ending applause).

[Droo]

It's more because the source material is taken from The Sun which is, in my opinion, one step away from toilet paper and is covered in stuff far less useful - you can't use ink for manure. The Sun is obsessed with celebrity sensationalism and exaggerate far too much. Perhaps the no clapping was immature but if he had a statement to make or opinion to express then let him, goodness knows Penn did about his lame WMD remark.

[Jedieb]

I guess Billy Crystal's "Don't leave Bill!" remarks make sense now. I had no idea Murray sat there without clapping. I don't put any faith in the comments attributed to him by the Sun, but I think it's a bit embarrasing to sit there and not give an actor their due. If you really don't like awards, then you shouldn't go. As for Penn's ovation, he got it because he's highly regarded by his peers. They may not all like him, but they were recognizing a career full of great performances, Shanghai Surprise not withstanding. And the WMD line was SWEEEEEEEEET. :evil

The ending was childish, true :lol



Go to give credit though, two heavy anti-war people won awards, and all we got was a little joke.

[Jedieb]

I thought that Robbins made a great speech. And he stuck to his character's pathos with his encouraging words for victims of abuse. And Sarandon's cleavage was just as moving. :evil
