either i'm not being so clear, or you're a die hard Streep fan

what i meant is that i think an excellent performance within a mediocre film is such a waste, therefore winning an Oscar for it wouldn't really do it for me.

If we're talking about something the level of People's Choice then it would be digestible, but the Oscars nah.

abierman said:

Perhaps. I thought Eastwood's movie was better though and he deserved it more this year. Scorsese should have won a long time ago for one of his other films.

what did you think of the girls' performances?

and btw, that thrid girl with them, is she originally a singer?

Anx said:

And Helen Mirren doesn't have a habit of winning awards? That would have been a major upset if Meryl won.

sextonseven said:

wasn't this helen mirren's first oscar? what else has she been nominated for?

PricelessHo said:

ahhh...okay..gotcha....im not that way...a performance is a performance and should be judged on its own merits. thats why there is a "best picture" category that takes all aspects of a film into consideration...

Anx said:

First oscar yes, but her list of acting awards won in other countries and academies is incredibly long.

sextonseven said:

and meryl streep is criminally underrated.

Anx said:

I thought it was unanimous that Streep was the only reason to see Prada.

sextonseven said:

Thoroughly agreed!

But Clint paged the Academy, telling them that he had no room for yet another Oscar.....

The Departed isn't Marty's best, but it's Oscar-worthy.....his award was long overdue.....I liked his speech, he was clearly moved! I just wish he had gotten it 16 years ago for 'Goodfellas'.....

I liked Iwo Jima, it is a gripping film, very well-made...and Clint is an awesome director. But I guess, these aren't the times for war-movies to win the best picture awards.....

abierman said:

I agree with all that. Except for maybe Clint paging the Academy.

Jennifer Hudson

Who was that chick who won the award for the best actress? She was hot. I'd fuck the shit out of her.

are the oscars still going on? has it ended yet?

THIS IS BULL SHIT!!!

How comes I never got a sticky??!?!?!?!?!?!

Now that is a statement fraught with innuendo.....

PricelessHo said:

Thats Anika Noni Rose, a Tony awar winner and a tough actress from the vicious broadway scene. She's a good singer buts its secondary 2 her acting talent considering that she's a broadway actress.

She came from the same scene that gave birth to such talents like Phylicia Rashad, Alfre Woodrad, Angela Bassett and Sheryl Lee Ralph, which means she's practically the BADDEST of the trio(and mind I add the most youthful looking considering that she's older than ALL of them even though she played the youngest; 34 years old).

PricelessHo said:

Anika Noni Rose. She was in the movie. There were 3 Dreamgirls

Hudson= Effie
Knowles= Deena
Rose= Lorell


I take it you didn't see the movie

sextonseven said:

The QUEEN?

novabrkr said:

Helen Mirren

JustErin said:

Well, not in her frumpy Queen clothes, but Helen Mirren gets a lifetime pass after appearing in movies like Caligula and The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. That's why Jack Black and Will Ferrell were singing about taking her home.

I was really happy that Britney Spears won.
After the career that she's had,
she deserved it.

Illustrator said:

oops....
I meant Alan Arkin.

Illustrator said:

You were probably confused since she presented best picture

Am I the only one who could have sworn Ellen had hosted this before? She's so established, it just seems like they would have asked her by now. I was surprised to hear this was her first time hosting, I guess I was thinking of other award shows

From what I saw she did great but I missed the first 30min or so of the show

Eddie Murphy looked all pissed off and shit!

karmatornado said:

Eddie turned into a DIVA after his loss and left the building during Arkin's acceptance speech.

CLASSY!!

CalhounSq said:

she did, okay...but her shtick of showing us behind the scenes crap and talking to the audience is tired. this is the one night for top notch glamour and she somehow turns the Oscar's into an extension of her own show. it just didn't feel right to me..

and it didn't help that they had fifty million montages and those momentum killing shadow dancer thingies...it was all way too much. if they had kept the montages to the sound orchestra, the foreign film tribute and the opening nominee thingie (which I thought was great) and the tribute to the two special oscars and thats it then maybe i wouldn't have minded Ellen's sillyness...but it was all just too long...and i started to get annoyed everytime she did something...i was about ready to throw my shoe at the screen when she walked out with that vaccum.
