Oscars: follow the show

[Imran Siddiqui]

He's in the right, and it doesn't really matter who booed and who clapped.

Except... that he's wrong .

[KrazyHorse]

Only to deluded folks like yourself, Imran.

[Alexander's Horse]

I'd like to see someone get politics out of the Oscars speeches. It would be easier to get booze and drugs out of Hollywood.

Enough on Moore, damn it

Some of you agree, some of you don't..we really don't CARE! As if we couldn't guess who agree with him or not based on the last 10,000 posts made by people here on the issue!

Talk MOVIES people, MOVIES!

I really wanted the pianist to win, but it odes not surprise me that Chicago won.

[Alexander's Horse]

Okay, lets talk movies. Why is it that forgettable movies usually get Oscars and movies that turn out to be all time classics often miss out?

[GePap]

Because the Oscars are voted upon by a relatively conservative (tastewise) academy.

Likewise.

With the nearly universal stream of crud that's come out of Hollywood this past year I find it difficult to get excited about the base subject.

From the best picture category I've seen only LOTR2, and would not consider subjecting myself to any of the other pictures besides, perhaps, The Pianist. LOTR2 was not the stuff that Oscars are made of, either...

And given the spate of Holocaust and WWII movies over the last decade I wonder if The Pianist would be worth my time, or if I would (as I suspect) unfairly dismiss it as tripe simply because of the "Schindler's List" effect...

"The Pianist" is nothing like "Schindler's List". In fact the few negative reviews it has gotten are based on people calling it "emotionally distant".

I highly recommmend the film. I think it is the best film mad about the Holocaust to date.

That's the only reason I watched the Oscars.

I knew some jackass would make a fool of himself.

Good show!

You could also avoid Hollywood and speak about best documentary, foreign film, the technical awards, so forth and so on.

That's my point: I'd be too busy comparing it to SL to judge it on its own merits.

I might try it, but I'm worried about my reaction to it.

Did Halle really pee herself?

pictures please? yes I'm a sick bastard. I'm not going to get off on them. just curiosity.

You always hear stories of womens pissing themself, but I have never actually witnessed.

I see very little in it to compare it to SL, besides the overall subject manner.

Also, Brody's performance is worth the Oscar he got.
