peckerhead 0 #1 March 6, 2006 It turns out that Brokeback mountain was not about gay cowboys after all.... It was about gay sheep herders. All that controversy over nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #2 March 6, 2006 Crash won, and rightly so. Even though Paul is a good friend of mine and I'm rather biased, I still think that was the most amazing movie, and very well written (by Paul, who also directed it, and co-produced it). I haven't seen BBM, although Ang Lee won for best director, as well as the original story won for best adaptation. Both of those are no small acheivements. And there was another one (best score? Not sure...), too. So it wasn't shut out at all. I was very disappointed in the animation awards; I really wanted The Corpse Bride to win, but it didn't. Oh well.

peckerhead 0 #3 March 6, 2006 Wow! I was just making a joke I didn't really expect a serious reply. I thought Jon Stewart was brilliant as usual. It was cool to see WETA continue to get accolades. There is life after The Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson got snubbed again but that is nothing new. That said 2005 was still a forgetable year overall. It will make a good trivia question 5 years from now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MC208B 0 #4 March 6, 2006 Crash is a great movie and deserved best picture. Hoffman was excellent in Capote and deserved his too! Haven't seen Brokeback Mtn. and don't plan on seeing it either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #5 March 6, 2006 The rappers looked like complete idiots but it is hard to be a pimp nowadays - I'm sure that personally resonated with a lot of people in that room and with the Academy ...

Rebecca 0 #6 March 6, 2006 I thought they were pretty funny, considering how uptight and staid the whole thing is. Some formal wear was called for, however... Looks like it just got a little easier out here fo' a pimp. (to paraphrase Jon) And holy mackerel, was Jennifer Garner not adorable?? I so thought she was about to face plant over her hem, but she held it! Gorgeous momma! I was also waiting for Salma's right boob to pop out. Musta been taped in... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #7 March 6, 2006 Salma set the escort models to shame. Didn't see J Garner. We flipped to it from time to time. The only one I've ever watched all the way through was when Steve Martin hosted. He's funny and has some class too. ...

Rebecca 0 #8 March 6, 2006 Ooh! Did anyone see Tom Hanks as he was coming out to present? It looked like he was pissed and cussing at someone off stage. I rewound and thought I could see the F-bomb... they cut away from him fairly quickly though.

JohnnyD 0 #9 March 6, 2006 >Its hard out here to be a pimp. Am I the only one thinking "Well, no shit. Its illegal". Would it be equally hard out here to be a crack dealer? What about the white guy version: Its difficult in this corporate climate to embezzle funds and inflate profits using related party offshore hidden accounts.
