The Oscars - Page 6

Hour 10 of the Oscars...

So is this Beyonce's 77th Annual Academy Awards? Her dress she wore while singing with Josh Grobin made her look huuuge! Yikes.

Lots of mermaid dresses this year...

Hillary Swank's speech made me teary. Good for her.

I'm glad Charlie Kaufman won for 'Eternal Sunshine..." it's a very complex script. The three writers deserved it.

Samuel L Jackson looked great as always. Love him.

Jamie Foxx's speech rocked. Although, I hate to think of all the grandparents out there thinking about beating their grandkids so they can win an Oscar.

Lol! It rocked, indeed.

Crap, Million Dollar Baby was made in 37 days?! 37?! That's worth an Oscar alone, right there.

'Million Dollar Baby' awesome!

Go Clint!

He even plugged Monterey County...? Bleh.

Awesome. It's done and it's only 8:41pm!

Barbra and Dustin looked drunk...

Hehe, I love when you get an uber-powerful movie star on the Oscars and they ham it up because they can. Fun stuff.

There were some great speeches. I can't believe they tried to play off the second producer from Million Dollar Baby! WTF? The show is over, give him an extra 2 minutes for God's sake!

Josh Groban is cute. I had no idea who he was. Voice was a bit much.

I loved all the "mermaid dresses", GC. So ultra Hollywood swank!

I'd die if I owned something that glamorous.

Dang, I was sure Scorcese would take home a statue. That was mostly all I cared about. (Oh well, Kubrick never won either.)

Not Afraid · 02-27-2005, 09:52 PM

But, butt crack. Didi you are about that?

Not a bad show. Not spectacular, but I was entertained. I'm really happy that Eternal Sunshine got something. That's two years in a row where they did right with the screenplay category (Lost in Translation).

Early in the show, while we were listening to one of the songs from the suck-fest that was the song category, CP mentioned that, of course, nothing from Ray could be nominated since they weren't original songs for the movie. So when I saw Ray nominated for Sound Mixing, I said, "They're going to give it to Ray since they can't give it for the music." Sure enough...

I like Chris Rock a lot, especially in his HBO concerts, but I get a feeling this will probably be his only outing at the Oscars. The folks in the theater just weren't laughing much. (And I guess he really ticked off Sean Penn. I wish Jude Law had been there to say, "Hey, take it easy, Sean. Chris was just joking, sheesh.")

Also, the endless bit with Chris Rock reading Catherine Zeta Jones' lines was godawful.

Yeah, pretty boring one this year.
