A beautiful mind gets best film... (owned mills). :d

[edit] gah typo.

Mills · 25-03-2002 6:45am

Yeah you owned me good on those last 2 rich, considering I never tried to post either of them

.

Beautiful mind gets best picture, director, and supporting acctress, makes me think Russell's incident with the Baftas cost him it.

2? :P

jonno · 25-03-2002 7:10am

Best Film - A Beautiful Mind

Best Director - Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind)

doubledown · 25-03-2002 11:09am

Is it just me, or do ALL of Randy Newman's songs sound exactly the same?????

Jpaulik · 25-03-2002 11:44am

No Luck for the Irish this year, the two animated shorts lost out to For the Birds, the animated short that was in front of Monsters Inc.

The Cigarette Smoking Man · 25-03-2002 5:23pm

Fair play to the BBC :rolleyes: After fast forwarding through 3.5 hours of video tape the BBC coverage changed from BBC2 to BBC1 just as it was getting to the main awards.

IRISHLILY24 · 25-03-2002 6:50pm

I cant believe beautiful mind beat LOTR, what is the academy coming too? I swear they get worse every year.
I thought LOTR would come away with most of the oscars.
Oscar sucks.

Kali · 25-03-2002 7:19pm

oh dear, halle berrys speech was woeful.. cringe at maximum strength.
open the door for more black actresses?
perhaps the doors been open for ages and nobodys been good enough to win anything? i sure as hell cant think of anyone or any particular performance worthy of an oscar.

as for washingtons performance in training day? good but very very typical denzel washington...

and memento should have at least been nominated. obviously their budget didnt stretch to bribing half of hollywood.

Only when he's churning out movie tunes.

I hope Halle Berry is thoughly embarrased when she sees the tape today! Itwas right down there with Sally Fields' "You love me!, you really love me!!" speech.

Mike.

I agree on both accounts.
They like to use Being "black" as an excuse for everything.
And I was shocked by denzel's award, his performance was not oscar worthy, it was his usual acting....I think the award went to him to keep the theme going , ya know.
I am not saying they dont have their problems, just that I think it's time to move on.
That's just my opinion.

shotamoose · 25-03-2002 7:53pm

My problem with Halle Berry's speech was that she seemed to invite the Academy to congratulate themselves at being so wise and generous as to give an award to, of all things, a black performer. I look forward to the day when two black performers win Oscars and nobody bats an eyelid. It's still some way away, I think.

And yeah, Denzel Washington seemed to be receiving the About Time We Gave Him One award. He's been brilliant before, far better than in Training Day.

It was; Best original Screenplay.

Although, I must say...
It's a complete, total and utter TRAVESTY that Ian McKellan didn't win Best supporting actor.

Rubbish. Ben Kingsly's performance in Sexy Best was far superior.

BLITZ_Molloy · 26-03-2002 1:34pm

Crowe acted well in A Beautiful Mind buit the film itself was very average - definately shouldn't have got best picture.

I disagree.

Ian McKellan played faithfully, what is quite easily the best known literary character there is.

TRAVESTY I scream!

Although Ben Kingsley is nothing short of brilliant, he cannot contend.

Da_Kid · 27-03-2002 4:48am

Ian McKellan may have played 'faithfully', but Ben Kingsley's performance was FAR superior to any of the contenders. It was a genuinely enthralling and scary performance that McKellan didn't even come close to...I think your basing your opinion on the movie rather than the individual performances. Ben Kingsley definately should have taken it.

Not at all...
In my personal opinion, Ian McKellan was easily best.

I seriously didn't care if LOTR won best picture/director/actor/lifetime acheivement!
All I wanted to see was McKellan win best supporting actor.

Although I still think that Kingsley was still brilliant, he always has been!
Just not what came close to McKellan.

SheroN · 28-03-2002 11:01am

at least the LOTR gang have another 2 cracks of the whip
