The Oscars

[LSPoorEeyorick]

1) Gil Cates is a ninny. What awful ceremony decisions, all down the line.

2) All of you really need to see the winning animation short, "Ryan." It was one of the best films I saw all year. Actually, all of you need to see all of the original shorts. Both categories were almost as good as Best Actress. I wish they'd release them with other films. We saw them at the Egyptian on Friday.

3) I would have voted for Staunton and Madsen, but I knew Swank and Blanchett would win. I only got five categories wrong. Woo hoo! Plus, Payne and Kauffman's wins made me particularly happy.

4) I actually thought Banderas killed "Al Otro Lado Del Rio." It's quite beautiful in its original form. But I'm just glad that Lloyd Webber and Silvestri didn't win the category.

5) Poor Marty, yes. But M$B was my favorite big film of the year, so I'm glad it won.
