I am so happy for him!

GO JAMIE!!!!

Yay! I wonder how many people are still going to post and claim he won't win the Oscar.

He just announced that Prince is performing at his after party.

Prince is performing at the After Party!?!? OH, SH*T!

or something like that. I was only half listening. I was in the middle of typing something else. I best not be starting rumours that might not be true.

Prince did look mighty fine announcing the clip of the movie, though.

'spouse i should check this movie out huh?

He said that P Diddy was throwing an after party and Prince would be performing.

Then I did catch it right.

How far into the show did this happen?

I dont want to sit through the whole ordeal.

p.s I take it that Prince announced the award?

bkw said:

About 2 hours in. And Nope. He announces the clip of the movie (as it's nominated for best film) which is right before they do the nest actor award.

I'm watching now!

Let me be the first then: Jamie did an outstanding job in Ray but Hollywood will not award him the Oscar. It was be too much of the right thing to do.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Have the Oscar nominees been named yet?

Lammastide said:

Nope.

I have an Oscar.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Right thing to do? What?

VinnyM27 said:

How many times has Hollywood given the Oscar to the person who deserved it? How many freakin' years did Hollywood overlook Speilberg?

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

But Oscars tend NOT to have surprises (although the Globes do....both those people won for "Closer"....didn't that movie kind of tank?). If anyone other than Jamie wins, (the close second appears to be "Sideways", but consider no actors won Globes, that might be a sign), it would be a shock, which is not very Oscar like. I've never been all that surpirsed at how the Oscars turn out, even though I usually wish for something different.

I'm just gonna cut and paste my post from another thread in another forum on the same topic. Glad he won. Speech was touching, kinda sweet, kinda funny, kinda too long. His nod to Prince made me giggle. Two In Living Color alumni in the same category, too.

well deserved too... brilliant performance. i'll be quite shocked if he doesn't win the oscar

Jamie rocks.

That Prince guy sounds alright too.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

well, to be fair speilburg has a tendency to over dramatize and over emotionalize in his movies. the only one of his films prior to shindler he desereved it and didn't get it was the color purple..

all in my opinion, of course.

now (also in my opinion) you wanna talk about overlooked directors, check out P.T. Anderson, Tim Burton (although not of late), Pedro Almodovar, and David O. Russell, all of whom are cutting edge and inventive, and excepting almodovar's two wins for best foreign picture, but no director nod, not a nomination between them.

and on a feminist level, as much as i dislike streisand, she really deserved a director nod for yentl and prince of tides. and penny marshall for league of their own, and some would argue for big. but directing is such a rigidly boys club, there have only been a small handful of women nominated in 77 years of oscar.

Add Robert Altman to that list - 5 nominations and not a single win. Martin Scorsese has also never won. Those, in my opinion, are also overlooked. Back to your regularly scheduled thread...
