Oscars
Oscar night baby. One of my favorites. Ok. Not really. But I do enjoy writing about them. My predictions are: Helen Mirren and Scorcese are Titanic/Jamie Foxx in Ray locks. Forest Whitaker and Jennifer Hudson will both win. Walhberg was surprisingly good in The Departed, but Murphy will probably win (though I wonder if the Academy will be comfortable voting for him). I hope Babel wins because The Departed is probably the most overrated movie in the history of movies. I’ll elaborate…
Baldwin and Wahlberg were good. Leo was a’ight. The wet-blanket girlfriend was ok with what she has to work with (the dumbest character in history). Those are the only positive things about the movie. The premise should have led to an excellent. Damon was AWFUL. Jack was TERRIBLE. The plot holes were gigantic. The pacing was bad. The drama was non-existent. After the movie, I wanted my money back and I hadn’t paid to see it. How it got nominated for anything is beyond me.
On to the show…
I can’t decide if that nominee thing is cool or lame. I think I’ll go with lame.
WTF is Ellen wearing? I hate political jokes, but that Gore thing was funny. Hey she’s dancing. Who knew… besides everyone? What a mediocre monologue. No jokes were terrible and none were hysterical.
Great. Its Will Ferrel and Jack Black. Shoot me now.
(Fast forwarding through what I’m sure are annoying kids)
Special effects choir?!?! Weird. Not bad execution, but where was Michael Winslow?
Poor Eddie Murphy. At least he has Norbit.
It’s pretty scary that the only good things tonight have all been about Al Gore. Wait. They just accepted for An Inconvenient Truth. Not good times.
Happy Feet wins… something. Score one for penguins.
Once again the winner for Best Costume is dressed like crap. That should be the criteria. What you wear Oscar night, not how the costumes looked in the movie.
How does a 10-year-old get nominated? Seriously. Her’s was the fifth best performance? That’s what we’re going with? Thank god there’s no chance of her winning.
What’s with this silhouette thing they’re doing? It’s freaking annoying.
Jodie Foster with short hair = bad.
Second star to the right, and straight on ’til morning.
Mike told me about this, but I can’t believe Coppola, Spielberg and Lucas are presenting Best Director. Apparently we think we know who is going to win. Did the Oscars just finally decide to rig it so Scorsese wins? Now I hope he loses.
Hey. Martin Scorses won. Hooray. Over/under on his acceptance speech: 3 minutes.
Please don’t let the Departed win. Please don’t let the Departed win. Please don’t let the Departed win. Crap. Disappointed.
What a boring presentation that was. Here's to next year.
