Why aren't my posts showing up?

Anyway, i'm kinda sad that Chicago won but I thought it was a damn good show. Strongest in years. Thought The Pianist had the momentum, though. Oh well.

Nick, where'd you get DICKMICHAELS from? Awesome.

Chicago was a pretty worthy winner. Since The Two Towers is most likely to be the weak link in the story arc, I'm not that upset at Peter Jackson and Co. not winning. However, I'm pissed that Eminem won. Come on man. You sent a fucking crack dealer to accept your award when U2 (namely Bono) performed one hell of a show. Plus Bono broke his back like 3 weeks ago. Rant Complete.

He sent his cowriter/producing partner I believe, not a crack dealer. It's fun when people dress differently for the Oscars.

Yes, that's terribly touching and all, but it doesn't excuse the fact that, as bombastic as it was, The Hands That Built America wasn't a good song.

I agree that The Hands That Built America wasn't that good compared to U2's other stuff, but... nevermind. At least I got to see U2 perform. Last time I saw them was a 2 Summers ago in Toronto. Hell of a show.

Maybe I'm alone, but the outcomes here were some of the most stunning I can remember. You had a foreign film win best screenplay, you had a Holocaust film that didn't go to the concentration camps win, you had Eminem win, you had a near-riot over Michael Moore, you had a newcomer snatch Best Actor out of nowhere (who remember to seize the moment AND Halli Berry), and a musical claimed Best Picture.

Frankly, I'm amazed and astonished. The only thing that could've made it better would've been to eradicate the memory of The Hours from the face of the earth, but that's another story.

Now on to 2004 and the coronation of LOTR...

I really think that Y Tu Mama should have won best screenplay. Amazingly subtle yet engrossing work. Those who think that film was just a frank "coming of age" flick need to look way, way deeper. That last scene wasn't an accident.

You forgot Miyazaki winning an Oscar. Justifies the entire evening.

BTW, I missed that award. Was Miyazaki there in person to collect?

Adaptation should have won for best adapted screenplay. City of God and Y Tu Mama Tambien should have been nominated for best foreign film, while City of God should have won.

Yeah, but he does deserve a frigging Oscar, and expecting a match-up of the most deserving years is insane.

New Order: Watch it again. Really listen to the dialogue. It's NOT a "coming of age" film, but rather an exploration of the truths that live under the surface of our consensual reality. It "outs" the things we don't talk about or don't acknowledge because they are taboo and we've "agreed" not to. It's a fiercely brave work, but you have to really listen to it to hear what's going on. I had to watch it three times for everything to sink in.

2 things:

Glad GONY didn't win, so I don't have to hear how another "over-rated" movie won an "undeserved" award. Scorsese most likely gets the lifetime award on down the road.

I'm looking forward to the acts of violence/self-flaggelation that look to happen when Jackson and Company don't get the big prize, cuz "they was robbed".

Overall good show. Brody gave the best speech, O'Toole was all class, and Moore did what was expected.

True, but after the last few oscars I didn't expect they'd give it to someone who actually deserves it, I thought they'd give it to Martin as an "I'm sorry you haven't won an oscar all these years Martin, here's one to make up for it" Oscar.

i hope this is about Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, anyways, if i watched it three times i think i'd become delirious with false praise as well, what can i say, never said it was about coming of age, just thought it sucked, just the way it was done alone it seemed like more of a foreign film for hollywood viewers than a really pure foreign film, i think what bothered me the most was that i really didn't care what happened to any of them, taboo or not, i can't add depth to something that couldn't even scratch the surface, added to which everyone i've talked to IRL that loved it doesn't have an extensive foreign film vewing repertoire, and saw it only cause it was a trendy popular thing to do, and those movie dudes gave it two thumbs up...

As a Pity Award? Kind of unfair to others that pulled out great works as well.

Maybe an LAA.

But I see what you're saying now so I'll shut up.

Well, I'll say that I'm the only one who seems to think it was about what I think it was about. I've had lots of arguments about Tambien. I might well be wrong. But in reality there are probably a number of ways to experience or interpret it, and I just picked one that works well for me.

Neither happened.
