So, what was the most-winning film? If it was Bourne, I'm going to die.

Not Afraid · 02-24-2008, 11:32 PM

OK, now I'm answering my own question. No Country received 4 awards and Bourne received 3.

I need to defend Bourne Ultimatum. It's a fine action film. The dialogue, the editing and the action scenes were exceptional. Loved it. Best of the three films.

I'll never hear the end of this, because it's a Universal Studios movie...

Bourne was a fine technical film, and won those tech awards deservingly.

But best of the three? Um, no. As with almost all such trilogies and sequels, the first one is in a league of its own. The third was merely good.

As I went to respond to you NA, I saw ISM's post.
Think about WHAT Bourne won... in those categories, I dont doubt the merits of their win.
Yes, I felt that a few of the other films did a great job at the same thing, but its still a choice.

Guns, explosions, smashing... yeah... okay, you can have it, I understand.

Quite a few people have said that Bourne was worthy of a best picture nomination. I wouldn't go that far but it was one of the best studio pictures of the year.

So, we ended up watching far more pre-show red carpet stuff than I ever have before. Is it always so...awkward? I expected shallow and inane. But the number of awkward moments surprised me and made me uncomfortable.

Consistently awkward (and terrible) was the woman sitting above the plastic with the laptop. We got emails from Dubai, Long Beach, CA, Sweden, Brazil and they all want to know when Johnny Depp is going to be here. (And, the not so subtle complaint about her vantage point got really old.)

I didn't watch any so I can't say if this year's was worse but that's my experience.

Caught five minutes of Regis & Kelly this morning and he mentioned that you can't really do anything of any value when you have 30-45 seconds for an interview. And most of the people doing them don't have nearly the skills he does.
