Okay, putting the "Priceless" guy in the commercials? BWAH. I like that way too much. :)

"The only woman to breastfeed an Apple." Blech. And Gwyneth is presenting Best Foreign Language Film. And the award goes to ... The Sea Inside. Well, who didn't see that coming? Although I kind of wanted Yesterday to win, when I found out what it was about.

Samuel Jackson comes out to present Best Original Screenplay. Dude, are you wearing PJs? And the screenplay had BETTER go to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, goddamn it ... YES. Now if only the fucking Academy had nominated it for Best Picture like it should have been. Because it was. Bah. Assmonkeys.

Charlize Theron looks a hell of a lot better now that her hair's grown out. DON CHEADLE! You won't win, but I still love you. Oh, Johnny Depp, read what I just wrote to Don Cheadle, rinse, lather, and repeat. Leo ... same thing. Clint Eastwood ... again. DAMN, this was a good year for actors. And the Oscar goes to ... Well, DUH. Awwww. "I see Oprah and I see Halle and I just want to say your names." HEE.

Hi, Julia Roberts. You look good for someone who just had twins, like, yesterday. And you're here for Best Director. It'd better be Martin Scorcese, damn it. And the award goes to ... Well, FUCK. You know, the more the night goes on, the more I'm pissed at Million Dollar Baby. The Best Director category is given for the year and me and Scorcese still have the same number of directing Oscars. This is so many levels of wrong. BAH.

And Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand are here to present Best Picture. And the award goes to ... Million Dollar Baby. *sigh* Well, I did love it, but seriously. Just once, if a comedy could win, that would make me happy.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Assmonkeys indeed. *pokes them with a pokey stick*

Oh, well. At least Kaufman got something.

I must say

I love you Johnny Depp but Prince looks more like Willy Wonka in the purple suit than he does. He's like pretty fawn or something. O_o

And the award for least non sense of humor goes to Sean Penn. Get a grip dude it was a JOKE about the Judester.

The way she played a trump card at the first peep from the orchestra was magnificent, though: "You can't do that, I haven't mentioned Clint yet." End of story as far as anything Academy-related is concerned, it seems.

I could have watched the Oscars, once I realized they were on. I could have gotten up, walked about fifteen feet, and watched them.

But therein lies the problem. I would have had to get up.

Thus did I miss yet another year.

I'll just settle with looking at this...

*makes out with that picture* The only reason I'm glad he didn't win is because he doesn't give a shit whether he wins or not. And that's why he's cool. Frankly, he doesn't need to win. He's still the best actor in Hollywood. :)

Re: I'll just settle with looking at this...

[wyldkyss.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad Hollywood's finally realizing it, too!

I was just telling to the kitchen while reading LJ (my room's next to the kitchen) and what I just told my roommate came out something like, "No, I did the dishes yestersex!"

Yum. To the picture, not yestersex dishes.

Re: I'll just settle with looking at this...

[wyldkyss.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, "washing the dishes" IS a euphemism...

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

I doubt a comedy is going to win again any time soon. The Oscars take themselves too damn seriously for that. They couldn't even nominate movies with actual humor *cough*Eternal Sunshine*cough*.

Give me time on that best comedy thing! I have yet to suck one Hollywood cock yet, but I'll get there...

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Dude, if you're going to work on getting a comedy to win Best Picture, I volunteer to help write the script. I'll even just put the script together with those little studs, if that's all you need me for.

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

If you're looking for Best Pic comedies, you've got Annie Hall-1977. And a few more (though I agree, not enough):

The Apartment
It Happened One Night
Tom Jones
All About Eve

[loopychew.livejournal.com]

Would American Beauty fall into Best Pic comedies, or is it more of a drama?

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

I consider it a drama, but it definitely has some dark comedic elements to it.

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

I loved all the movies this year. But I'm thrilled that M$B & Clint Eastwood won-out of the five, that's the one that's stuck with me the most. It was really textbook filmmaking. Fantastic.

[etoilepb.livejournal.com]

It was really textbook filmmaking.

As someone who has to read a lot of film textbooks, every week, I venture to say that that's precisely what's wrong with the Oscars, and why Eternal Sunshine was my favorite film of the year. But that's a long-winded rant for another day. ;)

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

By textbook-I do not mean rote or traditional. I mean-watch this and learn how a movie is made. M$B was sheer perfection.

I adored Eternal Sunshine, and in a perfect world, it would have been nominated. And it's hard to compare a minimalistic film like M$B versus something as non-linear to Eternal Sunshine . . . it's why awards shows are really silly to begin with, if you think about it. I think it was Chris Rock who said it only would make sense to pick a "Best Director" if all five directors made the exact same film.

Look at it this way-as a film student, you can at least rest easy that M$B is not How Green is My Valley.

You know what would be the best freaking thing ever?

If Monsters of Minooka is ever in a position to win an Oscar. I would be so freaking down with that.

[wufeidragon.livejournal.com]

You know as much as I love Eternal Sunshine... Hotel Rwanda was a film with a very lasting impression on me that was written very well... I am really sad it lost in all three categories it was nominated for. :(

"The only woman to breastfeed an Apple."

What the hell was that joke in reference to anyway?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Gwyneth's daughter's name is Apple, apparently because she hates her and wants her to be made fun of on the playground. (And the kid's last name is Martin, too. Apple Martin. That kid's going to suffer through so many "apple martini" cracks when she grows up.)

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. I would really like to talk to Bruce and Demi's kids to see if they get picked on for being "Rumer" and "Scout". And whether or not the latter kid likes "To Kill a Mockingbird".
