Oscar - The Day After

Mar 06, 2006 19:00

You know what would make my day? If one more person tells me that The Oscars are based on politics. Really. Because I don't think quite enough people have given me their "original" viewpoints on the matter and the redundancy doesn't get old AT ALL.

No shit the Oscars are political.American life itself is political. The reason I get free food at ( Read more... )

I'm a spiteful little bitch. The movies that get overhyped and blown out of proportion, I always hope they lose because I'm sick of hearing about them.

I certainly won't be renting or watching the ones that were yammered about by all the ass hats critics and other suck ups. *g*

Unless it's like Libertine or POTC2. Johnny Depp in period costumes, even if they are loosely based on true period costumes, well, it's just kinda sexy.

His cheekbones alone should be nominated... *shares shallow moment*

I agree.

*shares more in shallow moment and ups it by mention of Secret Window*

LOL

Seriously, it was like this year people developed a sudden amnesia about how closely tied film--or pretty much any part of pop culture--has always been to politics.

And no one who's seen Crash has convinced me that it will say something about race that I don't see every day. Unless the lessons are vastly different from what I've heard, I could probably learn the same things from spending $9 on a movie ticket by riding the bus for two bucks (85 cents with a student pass on a weekday).

That's exactly it, too -- Crash, although a good movie, wasn't this tower of controversy it was hyped to be. Honestly, it didn't show us anything that we don't already encounter at 7-11.

I stopped following the Oscars after Good Burger didn't win best picture.

I remember taking my son to see it in the theater. He owes me for life.

Hey,

Man, I'm disappointed that the Best Makeup Oscar went to The King of the Jews Beasts instead of Felicity Huffman's Man-in-a-Can team.

And yeah, WERE-RABBIT was *good*, but HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE is *great*

Best parts- Charlize Theron thinking ahead and grafting a huge cushion on her dress shoulder so she could nap through the boring parts, Jon Stewart in bed with George Clooney (too many clothes though); Whoopi Goldberg- "Oh hell, no!"

Yeah, Transamerica was one hell of a movie. Can't believe it was completely shut out of everything.

Oh, definitely, Howl's Moving Castle was the better story by far. However, Were-Rabbit probably got the shoe-in because of the added bonus of technical wizadry. I bet if HMC was also claymation, it would've swept the gold boy no problem.

I knew Stewart wouldn't be able to resist making a Dick Cheney joke despite his declarations to the contrary. I knew it.

Damn, I wish I got free food at the drive-thru.

Jon Stewart was funny (as always). That's what I liked best about the Oscars.

I was pretty disgusted with the fact that a horrible rap song won over Dolly Parton and that song from Crash.

I know, right! You know it's gone down the toilet when even Queen Latifah looked thunderstruck at the win.
