[beyurslf]

1. Anyone else think there is no way anyone but Foxx can win best actor?

Foxx did the job so perfectly that could have been Ray Charles himself on the screen.

[terrya]

4. That's a lock. The only sure thing of the night.

[WI_DEM]

74. No, I think it will be Leonardo

It seems to be an "Aviator" night.

[Miami Liberal]

2. I want Johnny Depp to win

but it looks like Foxx is getting it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. I adore Depp, and yet I don't think that his performance in Neverland

matches up to Foxx. Jamie Foxx was BRILLIANT!

[Miami Liberal]

12. Agreed, I think Depp should have been nominated

and won for "Ed Wood." I know Foxx will win but I'm still rooting for Johnny. :7

[charlyvi]

71. Depp was amazing in Ed Wood...

But I don't think he had overcome his lightweight pretty-boy image enough at that time for the Academy to have taken him seriously. A shame, a really bad mistake.

[ruggerson]

3. If there is a God

Chris Rock will smack Shrub upside his head. Hard.

[medeak]

5. Robin Williams skit censored by ABC?

heard it on sludge...sorry. But song verse was innocuous despite slamming spongebob being gay.

[ruggerson]

13. Yeah

ABC doesn't like it apparenty when fundamentalist homophobes get their just desserts.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. I saw all of the films and I believe that Ray was absolutely the best.

[Donailin]

20. Saw Ray

but not the others. I have a hard time imagining any actor did a better job than Jamie Foxx, he was absolutely amazing and convincing. What a great film.

[applegrove]

34. The problem is that Ray was such an amazing story in real life -

that its' script just sort of wrote itself. Sometimes the Best Picture isn't about the best 'given' story but about what was done from scratch to come up with the best movie.

Not a ton of amazing movies though. At least in my opinon.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

7. I want Don Cheadle to win.

Hotel Rwanda wouldn't have been the same without him.

[peekaloo]

32. Me too.

[qanda]

8. Where's the DU Oscar contest?

Didn't we have one last year?

[sonicx]

11. "Some people say" that M$B is gaining on Aviator to win BP.

I'd like to see that just to see fundie heads explode.

[ruggerson]

16. That would be an amusing side benefit of a sweep for M$B n/t

[Kat45]

22. What does that have to do with fundie heads?

[sonicx]

27. M$B's 'controversal' ending...

[Kat45]

53. Oh. I didn't see the movie, so I don't know what it is.

But there's nothing wrong with pissing off the fundies.

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. My picks...

[Minimus]

15. My picks and my reasons:

Million $$ Baby-Movie - 'caused it pissed off some Rwingers

Martin Scorsese -Director - he is due

Jamie Foxx-Actor - he deserves it

Jamie Foxx-Supporting - it would be cool for him to win both

Hilary Swank -Actor - I just simply like her

Natalie Portman -Supporting - I just like her too

Eternal Sunshine -Original Screenplay - 2 words: "Charlie" & "Kaufman"

The Motorcycle Diaries -Adapted Screenplay - 1 word: "Che"

The Sea Inside -Foreign - it would piss off the Rwingers (not that most would watch a foreign film)

Shrek 2- Animation - it is the only one I saw and the only one I wanted to see

Super Size Me -Documentary - my liberal "anti establishment" stance -McDonald's/Walmart all the same to me (notice that McDonald's are now inside Walmarts? What a great combination)

[ruggerson]

31. I'm rooting for Depp

but I think Foxx will take it

[proud patriot]

17. I'm watching E's red carpet coverage

I'm a sucker for this :shrug:

[sonicx]

18. Kathy Griffin looks unusually attractive.

[proud patriot]

21. it's the eye make-up

;-)

[ruggerson]

23. Did they can Joan Rivers from this gig?

[sonicx]

24. she's off E now. I can't remember if she quit or was fired...

she's on TV guide channel now.

[ruggerson]

26. Too bad she brought such class to the whole thing

:)

[sonicx]

29. i just took a peek over at TV guide channel...

and her daughter's lips scared me away.

[ruggerson]

30. Joan has that cat-eyed far too much plastic surgery thing happening now

19. hennen mirren is awesome.....

[ruggerson]

28. E is now rating celebs on red carpet live online

http://www.eonline.com/grace/shared/Events/Sizzlemeter/Celebs/top10.html

[ruggerson]

33. Supporting Actor/Actress is usually first up

My bets: Cate Blanchett - Morgan Freeman

[Lorien]

35. Does anyone else just LOATHE Billy Bush?

I don't know if he's related to *, but he reminds me of every arrogant nobody who fancied themselves a PLAYER that I've met in the film industry. Ugh!

[HeeBGBz]

36. The name turned me off instantly

Who is he?

[Miami Liberal]

37. Yes, he is related to *

They're 2nd cousins or something. No wonder I've never like him.:puke:

[peekaloo]

47. Cousin Billy. He sort of resembles King Twit, too.

Excellent description, btw.

[catbert836]

[proud patriot]

39. Well I read it

I think you are correct on some of them

[catbert836]

41. I appreciate that

I just made it up by the ones that sounded best for the little ones, but I've actually heard of "Downfall", it's about Hitler's last days.

[ruggerson]

40. If they've scared Chris Rock out of dissing *

I'll be very pissed off

[ruggerson]

42. Pretty tame for Rock

I'd give it a B

[ruggerson]

43. Best Supporting Actor - Morgan Freeman

[sonicx]

45. 'bout time

[Flaxbee]

61. so, what did he say when he accepted?

I don't have TV, the first time in eons I've not watched the Oscars. Wah! What'd he say?

[Liberal Christian]

44. No surprise about Morgan Freeman

Given the field, given his years of experience, given his talent ... I'd have to say I was pulling for him.

[Ekirh]

46. Same here....

Good to see Morgan finally get one...

[Liberal Christian]

48. Didn't he win for Driving Miss Daisy?

[sonicx]

49. unfortunately, no.

[proud patriot]

51. Neither for Shawshank Redemtion

he should of won that year too

[Ekirh]

55. Shawnshank Redemption

Is still my favorite peformance of his... shame he didn't win for it :(

[proud patriot]

50. Robin Williams came out with tape over his mouth

He's talking Spongebob and donald duck
and Chip n dale ...

Go Robin YAYYYYYYYYYYYY !

[medeak]

52. he did the sponge bob thing!

n/t

[ruggerson]

54. Best Animated - The Incredibles

[Ekirh]

58. Good.....

Sheesh the only competition was Shrek 2... and Shark Tale?..... With that competition.. it's not a huge surprise the Incredibles won (That and it was a good film)

[Liberal Christian]

56. So glad The Incredibles won

It may be the best animated film I've seen in my life.

[ruggerson]

57. Cate Blanchett is one of the most beautiful women alive

[kaitykaity]

60. One of the best actresses, too.

Loved her in LOTR and in The Gift.

[Liberal Christian]

59. Drew Barrymore looks great

[ruggerson]

62. Costume Design - The Aviator

[Lorien]

66. Guess we already know the Best Picture winner

"The aviator" was OK, but I did get a bit board at times. could have chopped off half an hour (though the movie was already fairly disjointed).

[NV Whino]

68. Aviator was very much over rated

Only good things about it were Cate and Alan.

[Ekirh]

70. I enjoyed the Aviator

But I do agree, it did drag at times (Especially the scenes in which Huges keeps himself in that private screen room) I thought it was a good movie though. Glad Cate won best supporting actress.

[ruggerson]

63. Best Supporting Actress - Cate Blanchett!!

[Lorien]

64. No way "the Aviator" deserved best costumes

"Troy" and "a series of unfortunate events" were ten times as demanding and required far more creativity. The Aviator had photographic records to draw from.

[Liberal Christian]

65. Yeah, but Troy was such a sucky movie

I'd hate to see it get anything. Giving them awards only encourages the making of bad epics.

[Lorien]

75. Not the costumer's fault

give credit where credit is due; look at the costumes and nothing else, and the costumes used in "Troy" required far more research and creativity (not to mention sheer effort)than those in "the Aviator". As an artist who has worked on a few "sucky" movies, I get sick of the failings of a director being placed on the shoulders of the cast or crew!

[Liberal Christian]

67. Besides ...

the movies with the prettiest dresses always win the Oscar for costume design. Not fair, but that's what seems to weigh in with people.

[Lorien]

78. I think you've just described why so many people voted for *

They are incapable of objective thought; instead of looking at policy (or the skill involved in costuming), they vote for who they "just like" (a person or a film). They aren't thinking about the questions, they're reacting to a "feeling".

[sleipnir]

84. Actually, Costume Design is voted only by those who are in Costumes

Like most categories, only those professionals working in the field are allowed to vote.

All members can vote for Best Pic, but the categories are left to those who are working on these pics.

Colleen Atwood should have won for Limmeny Snicket, but I can live with Ms. Powell getting another Oscar.

[Lorien]

88. I know-I have a lot of friends in the Academy

and most of them don't even bother watching all the films in their catagory; they, too, vote on what they "just like".It's nothing more than laziness ("if I'm not nominated, why do I care..").

I heard so many people gush about the Art Direction in Lemonny Snicket, and no one said a thing about it in "The Aviator". Sad.

[sleipnir]

111. Tim Burton's design team is hardcore, best around.

Shame he wasn't apart of that picture, only his creative team.

But it does show how much a director depends on his design staff to make a certain "style."

Rick Heinrichs is an amazing Production Designer, his imagination never seems to give up. Since he's not associated with Charlie and Chocolate Factory, I'm highly skeptical about how that film will look. The early trailers don't seem to highlight any interesting design other than filling the sound stage with colorful crap and ripping off the original.

[Renew Deal]

69. Is Mike Meyers wearing a rug?

It looked like it.

[Skip Intro]

72. Counting Crows

ugh

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

73. So.. all these blonde actresses dying their hair brown..

Drew Barrymore, Rene Zellweger...

It used to be that everyone wanted to try and be blonde!

:crazy:

[NV Whino]

76. Go for it, I say. I'll stay blonde. nt

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

77. I'm a brunette, but it still puzzles me...

Blonde has always been the "ideal hollywood" look.

[NV Whino]

79. Actually, I think it's just weird to change hair coloring

There are very few people who can pull off a major change. You were put together with a certain complexion and certain hair color and eye color. And the God I don't believe in, for the most part, knew what he/she was doing. Change one element and everything looks off kilter.

I tried a minor change once--slight red cast. (And I do have some red in my hair) Looked like ca ca. Changed back... quickly.

[tjdee]

80. Beyonce PLEASE go far, far away....

Eww, is she going to sing every song nominated except the Counting Crows one?

Yuck!

I am so sick of her. Hopefully next year she'll get the backlash like Jennifer Lopez.

Though, the french one was kind of perty.

[medeak]

81. HOW MANY TIMES IS BEYONCE GOING TO LIP SYNCH?

I can't stand this...thank god for Counting Crows...at least they were live.

Pray tell Santana will not be canned!

[HeeBGBz]

83. She's also singing the Believe song w/Josh Groban

I would prefer she didn't. I like Groban a la carte.

[lavenderdiva]

82. did she really just say 'the dog's ballocks'? n/t

[umtalal]

86. Yup, I checked with the husband and he said yes.

[Lorien]

85. Ugh, a former coworker of mine was nominated for best

animated short; Baker Bloodworth (total a**hole; responsible for that awful movie "Dinosaurs" a few years back). :puke:

[umtalal]

87. He lost. LOL

[Lorien]

90. Woot!

Thank goodness; if his sister weren't Linda Bloodworth Thompson, he wouldn't have a job to begin with!

[RadicalMom]

91. My hubby just said that Baker Bloodworth would fire Jesus! He's

vomiting, but content that he didn't win. Wasn't Mike Gabriel at Disney Feature Animation at one time?

[Lorien]

94. Lol!

Yeah, Mike was a co-director on Pocahontas. He's OK (well, who isn't compared to Baker, lol)!

A friend of mine who worked for Feature animation was tending to her husband who was dying of terminal cancer when Baker called her up and said "uh, honey, can we get an estimated date on when this thing with your hubby will be over, 'cause were trying to put together our schedules..." F*CKER! :grr:

[blueblitzkrieg]

89. Salma Hayek is so hot

}(

[TahitiNut]

97. Beyond hot. She's awesome. Smart, talented, driven, kind ...

... she's terrific.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

92. Antonio Banderas sings?

:shrug:

Or was he just the only hispanic "famous guy" they could get to pronounce the words in the song correctly?

:D

[NV Whino]

93. Yes, he does.

I'm not sure how I would rate him as a singer, but he does indeed sing.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

95. I can't really rate that performance either

It didn't suck though, and I was just surprised because I didn't know he sang!

[Lorien]

96. Did a good job in "Evita". n/t

[DrZeeLit]

100. Yes. He was on Broadway in "Nine." Good reviews. n/t

[ruggerson]

98. Ms. Blanchett

[NV Whino]

102. How can this skinny, strange looking broad be one of the sexiest

women around. And certainly one of the top actresses today? I love her!

And I'll say it again... she was robbed in Elizabeth.

[umtalal]

106. She was robbed in Elizabeth. Except Paltrow had a poweful daddy and Cate

has her talent.

[NV Whino]

107. And Cate will reign forever. nt

[driver8]

I love Cate Blanchett, also...

Very sexy and a great actress!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

99. Johnny Depp always looks damn GOOD.

*lesigh*

[ruggerson]

101. Yeppers

[umtalal]

103. He is one of us. Did you see him clap hard when Chris Rock took on bush.?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

112. Perfect, we're made for each other

Johnny, if you see this... um... PM me for my number... we can... hang out... uh

[NV Whino]

104. He's mine!

I've already estblished this on another thread. (Assuming he likes older women--wouldn't want to throw myself on him.)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

113. oh no

MINE

[NV Whino]

130. I could share.

Can't take that much good looks (and talent) every day.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

131. okay, we'll share

:D

[Jade Fox]

105. Jerry Goldsmith died?

He was amazing, writing music for movies for at least 40 years, and a lot
of it really good.

I didn't know about Jerry Orbach either.

[sleipnir]

115. They both died rather sudden deaths.

Both were ill, but no one expected them to die suddenly which is what happened. Both Orbach and Goldsmith were still working at the time of their death.

They will be missed, the world is less without them.

[HeeBGBz]

108. Go Josh!

It's his birthday today.

[AVID]

109. Is Hollywood running short on lead singers?

Beyonce? Three songs so far?

Come on . . . spread the ops

[tjdee]

110. Make it stop, make it stop!

I half expected Beyonce to sing the Antonio Banderas song!


Please, Oscar people, don't give ONE singer most of the songs anymore. Please, please, please.

[NV Whino]

116. Must have agreed not to make any political comments

[tjdee]

114. Prince is so cute.

And ridiculously talented, but dang he's adorable.

Even with his high heels.

[tjdee]

117. Sean Penn praises Jude Law.

:)

Called him one of our finest actors. :loveya:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

118. Finest...

in more than one way :9

[RevolutionaryActs]

119. OMG! Get out of my head! I was going to say just that!

:o

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

121. haha

[RevolutionaryActs]

122. Oh jeebus! That man is too pretty.

I feel weak. And then I think about the fact that he's best friends with my true love Ewan McGregor.. I get really weak. AND THEN I think about how they use to be flatmates years ago.. I die. :wow:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

124. I'd like to be the third roomie in that flat.

Oh even better, we could all share a bed...


I'd better stop this train of thought :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

125. LOL!

Yeah, you better, or else I'll get started too and then this thread will be locked, and we don't want that do we? :7

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

126. N-no

O8)

[RevolutionaryActs]

128. A little angel...

I can see the halo.. being held up by the devil horns. :P

[tjdee]

145. Sorry, but Jonny Lee Miller is already the third in the threesome.

And Angelina's ex-husband is also very, very hot.

IIRC, they've got a production company, the three... called Nylon, or something?

[Bake]

120. HILLARY SWANK!!!

Yes!!

Bake

[ruggerson]

123. Ms. Swank

[Shadowen]

127. The screenwriter for Eternal Sunshine...

...who also did Being John Malkovich and Adaptation (how does he come up with that stuff?)...

...reminds me of Seth Green. Quite a lot.

[Kat45]

129. 'Eternal Sunshine...' won best screenplay!

Is that gutsier than the Academy usually is? From what DUers have said about that film, it sounds like a really interesting story so it's probably good that it won that award. "The Usual Suspects" won that one the year it was out, also an appropriate choice.

[tjdee]

144. No, that's the gutsy category.....

Eternal...isn't mainstream enough to win Best Picture, for example.

Quentin Tarantino's Oscar is in that category (for "Pulp Fiction").

"Good Will Hunting"....

I think Sofia Coppola won that Oscar too (which she shouldn't have, most of "Lost in Translation" was silent).

[umtalal]

132. I can't wait to get to sleep tonight because we have a lot to talk about.

fox you earned it.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

133. Scorcese loses yet again.

nt

[Kat45]

134. FUCK! ANOTHER FUCKING ACTOR BEATS SCORSESE!

THe best fucking director today, who lost to Kevin Costner when he did one of the best movies ever, Goodfellas.

HOW THE FUCK LONG IS HE GOING TO GET RIPPED OFF! MAN, AM I PISSED! I have a fucking interview tomorrow and I stayed up late for the fucking Oscars in hopes that Marty would finally get his due. Man, Clint didn't even acknowledge the other directors (if he did I missed it while I was yelling curses at the TV).

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

[LSdemocrat]

136. Don't hold back. Say what you really want to say.

[fujiyama]

137. That sucks

I only watched the opening with Chris Rock (I enjoyed his making fun of Bush) and really kinda tuned out after that.

I'm glad Freeman won, but I think it was about time they gave one to Scorcese.

[umtalal]

139. me too. are they black balling scorsese?

[Kat45]

142. I don't get it either. He's so involved in restoration of old films,

one would think they'd love the guy. :shrug:

[sunnybrook]

146. This is not the first or second time

He lost to an actor before...Robert Redford's direction of "Ordinary People" beat Scorcese for "Raging Bull." Total bummer that Eastwood won!

[Kat45]

135. MOTHERFUCKER! THE OSCARS SUCK!

[ruggerson]

138. Million Dollar Baby Wins And 5000 Freeper's Heads Explode

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

140. haha

I haven't seen it yet, and I already like it. ;)

[NV Whino]

141. Ditto

It's the only one I didn't see.
