Not sure which I want to win here between Happy Feet and Monster House.

As long as Cars doesn't do it... Pixar don't deserve it this year.

Didn't think Cars was that bad. Meh, doesn't matter anyway, HF got the Oscar.

Ah by the Al! Cameron Diaz does know she's at the Oscars, right? Maybe she was just nervous but she sure as hell was twisting about a lot! Also, the announcements (introducing acts, presenters et al) doesn't seem to be fed through to the television audience, they'd really want to sort that out!

Come on Borat!

It was poor by Pixar's high standards though.

Monster House and Happy Feet were pretty different from your usual CGI animated films... But good to see Happy Feet win.

No award for Consolata Boyle. Marie Antoinette takes Costume Design. Still, 43-13 and all that, no mood for complaining!

MisterAnarchy

And we are back

Goodshape

Gael Garcia Bernal should loose those geeky glasses. Still sexy though :P

Ellen's not doing to bad I think.

No win for Pan's Labyrinth for best forign language.. boo.

MisterAnarchy

Jerry Seinfeld has got more laughs in 2 minutes than Ellen has received all night.
They should get him to take over.

wow, children of men was seriously marginal, interesting idea that went no where, it was like they took the idea from 28 days later, but, instead nothing happened and it was dull.

mewso

Well best supporting actress has done it for me. This is a comedy show right?

mewso

Jennifer Hudson? Think thats her name.

Anyway great to see Ennio getting the nod.

lostexpectation

it wasn't god it was simon cowel jennifer

just like jesus you were rejected and you rose again via name recognition

MisterAnarchy

Little Miss Sunshine wins Best Original Screenplay.
Justice is done.

BlitzKrieg

Ennio Moricone getting a honory oscar is great

but now i am even more p*ssed that the lives of others was sold out earlier this week during the film festival i really wanted to see it.

mewso

Nice to see Dreamgirls missing out on the Song despite having 3 songs in for it
So I got the wrong night then. Tonight is the Al Gore Presidential Campaign Party and tomorrow is the Oscars.

It was a great film but I'm just commenting on the general Al Gore is a messiah type vibe going on.

fair enough, I only tuned in just before that award, he could be the mesiah tho, compared to bush!

BlitzKrieg

the departed takes editing...

sunzz

tvu player, would have thought pans would have been nominated for best editing

Goodshape

I haven't seen Al Gore's film, a lot of praise being thrown at him though.

I'm thinking 'silly hollywood types', but I'll watch the film before I judge.

mewso

Well with my film of the year, Children of God not in the running for a major award I'll just have to hope the Academy has a spasm and gives Ryan Gosling best actor.

Rabies

The list of winners so far

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6395861.stm

BlitzKrieg

judging from the building blocks of a film (actors, script, direction, editing etc)

and if one is to believe that the film that will win best film will obviously excell at a large number of these, then its pretty much between The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine for best film. (they both have pretty important aspects under their belt already, sunshine with script and supporting actor, the departed with editing and adapted script.)


Buts thats only if you believe the oscars make sense

BlitzKrieg

Helen Mirren wins best actress

Didnt want her to win simply because Sky wouldnt shut up about her winning...now its going to be a pain to watch anymore of it through them.

That was a given as everyone knew. Even some bookie in England was paying out a few days.

mewso

I think the Oscars is more and more a case of delayed awards. i.e. awarding people who deserved it about 10 years earlier. I can't see past The Departed based on that even though I would probably go for Little Miss Sunshine myself if it was between the two.

sunzz

still think Best supporting actor Alan Arkin, Little Miss Sunshine was wrong and Djimon Hounsou, Blood Diamond should have won it.

BlitzKrieg

I dont think Babel deserves to win, and I havnt seen letters from iwo jima.

Between the Departed and Little Miss Sunshine, I'd choose Little Miss Sunshine, mostly because while I enjoyed The Departed alot it was a huge step backwards for Scorsese and the film was very blun with its freudian addition to the original infernal affairs plotline.
