Golden Globes and Oscars!

[MrColossal]

apparently she's a bitch, my brother's roommate met her and told the other person they were eating lunch with "don't talk to her anymore." [her being my brother's roommate] while all three of them were sitting at the same table talking.

pointless story but i've had to hear it 20343 times from my brother every time she's mentioned so now i had to yell you!

[Trapezoid]

Oh.
Well, in that case, Liv Tyler was cuter.

[Timosity]

Sofia Coppola is cute.

Well I thought she was in Lost in Translation, but she looked pretty ordinary when I saw her walk onto the red carpet.

But I loved those pink see through panties she was wearing in the movie, I just hope she had a whole bunch of them, cause it never seemed like she changed clothes.

It was an interesting movie, the first comedy (very slight romantic comedy, with just a lot of teasing, not much romance or comedy, left with a sickly girly happy feeling)


I haven't seen a lot of the movies so I can't really judge whether they were deserved, but I'm not big on relying on the results to choose what movies I'll see, although eventually I'll probably see them whether it be at the movies, dvd or tv.

I'd just like to see a comedy performance win Best Actor one day (I'm sure it's been done) but it seems you have to over act in a Drama to win (oh wait, that's what it's all based on)

The whole ceremony is over acted and really hard to watch, It's actually on Now in our Evening time. I already know the winners so I'll ignore it.

It's just a big party (industry) full of people that still think that it's like when you were coool in school, Well I guess it continues for them so they never grow out of it. Still having silly little relationships with who ever is popular at the time. It's quite sad really.

Anyway, I thought they'd save LOTR until the 3rd, as was predicted

[Las Naranjas]

Coppolla directed, so she wasn't in LiT as such.

But Fantasy is vogue this year thanks to LOTR, so why not see a female director.

[Timosity]

see, I don't even follow who are the actors & directors, So who was that chick in it, I'm sure I could look it up (Scarlett Johansson [nice arse]), anyway, well done all the people involved, I was surprised Apprentice didn't get a mention.

Essentially reprinted from my post on the AG forums:

I'm probably alone on this on these forums, but I'm kind of disappointed ROTK won as many awards as it did. I was really hoping for Lost in Translation to take Best Picture. I didn't think ANY of the nominations for best director were that great, but I admit I was sort of secretly hoping it would go to anyone except Peter Jackson (¬¬). I was also hoping completely in vain that American Splendor would win Best Adapted Screenplay. Most of ROTK's technical awards were well-deserved, though, as was its original score win.

Fog of War was a good choice for Best Documentary.

I am hugely frustrated that Finding Nemo beat out The Triplets of Belleville for Best Animated Feature. The only way this could be explained is that the members of the Academy who voted on this category didn't SEE The Triplets of Belleville.

I'm not crazy about either of the Best Supporting Actor/Actress awards, although I like Tim Robbins in general.


Basically, these Oscar results were a big pile of crap for me.

[GarageGothic]

What was up with Liv Tyler's hair? Anyway, she had by far the most stylish dress.

Apart from playing fashion police, I too was sorry to see ROTK take all the awards. Not because Peter Jackson didn't deserve an award, but because I'd much rather have seen him get it for Heavenly Creatures. Great to see Sean Penn finally being recognized for his talent.

Why were all the songs absolute crap? Hasn't there been a single decent original song in any movie this year?

[Barcik]

Kinda sad how all the big important categories went according to plan, with no suprsing. It's a pity Murray or Depp couldn't snatch that acting award, but without seeing Mystic River who am I to judge?
In fact, I agree with Remixor. In my eyes, Lost in Translation was the best movie of the year, but it was a long shot all along. At least it got a compensation in the form on the Original Screenplay award.
Anyway, congratulations to Return of the King!

By the way, our Movies Channels have launched an Oscar special three weeks ago, and it ended yesterday. During this time, I have seen roughly 20 movies, most of them excellent. Always good to have an excuse to watch good movies, eh?

[Kweepa]

remixor, perhaps the judges didn't *like* the Triplets of Belleville?
I thought it was nicely animated, but a bit overlong and dull.

[Trapezoid]

I loved Triplets... I dunno if it was a better film than Nemo, but it's a cult classic in the making and since when does that kind of film win?
The performance of the song from Triplets was probably my favorite part of the show, too. I think I liked the LotR song the least out of all the songs, although it IS very good.

[DGMacphee]

I'm with remixor on this -- I thought it was a little predictable. No big surprises except for Harvie Krumpet winning best short film.

Like everyone else, I was guessing Destino (Dali, Roy Disney, and everyone being so anti-Eisner -- how could it not win?)

Though, it's good to see an Aussie take out the award -- Oi! Oi! Oi!

And I'm glad Coppola won -- now we can all forget The Godfather Part 3.

I was also sad to see Bill Murray sans Oscar -- Penn also deserved it though.

But apart from the jokes from Bill Crystal, Blake Edwards, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, etc the show was pretty dull compared to previous years.

[Timosity]

Just saw Harvie Krumpet, It was entertaining, but the story I thought was a bit thin, had it's moments, I'm sure there was a lot of work going into it as it was animated, but I wasn't as impressed as I was led to believe.

I suppose a whole life story in 20 mins has to be thin. Had a few funny bits, but it just felt way too short. It just felt like it was at the end the whole way with the pace of the life.

I just felt like it was getting started when it ended, (and I knew it had to unless they went into the after life)

The characters where very similar looking to the Simpsons, although made of plasticine or something like that. not too original.


I'm just wondering what it beat to get an oscar, I guess I can look that up, but I'll probably never get a chance to see them anyway.


On the other hand being a short film, I can see why it could win, being a film that had a complete story from birth to death, simple, not too offensive, not too ground breaking (but seemingly ground breaking to Academy types) sweet story with pity being a drawcard also.

still worth the watch

[DGMacphee]

The leading contenders were Disney's Destino and Boundin' from Pixar.

Destine was tipped to win because it started as a collaborative project between Walt Disney and Dali.

The project fizzed, but it was brought back to life by Roy E. Disney.

Plus, if you've been following the recent Michael Eisner vs Roy Disney debacle, you'll see why people were rooting for Destino.

I just saw Harvey Krumpet too -- And I think it won just for the Kamahl cameo.
