Most of the nominations I predicted were right, like the queen for best actress, jenifer hudson for best supporting, I also had a feeling The Last King of Scotland as best actor would win for some reason, although I was supprised for some reason when I saw Ryan nominated for Best Actor (no doubt I like him, but I wasn't expecting it).

haha yea I liked that too esp when Ellen goes...they're naked back there! ahaha they were great.

Ellen was funny, one of my favorite lines was "if there were no jews, blacks or gays there would be no movies."

Edit - thumbeeed



All three are just amazing.


Jodie looks old, Maggie looks chubby, Reese looks flawless.


Kate beautiful, Helen glowing, Kirsten looks cute. Not sure about that '20s style dress.


Meryl needs to go back to 'The Devil Wears Prada', Cate is beautiful, Rinko beautiful dress.


Nicole the hair is just too extreme and her skin is just too light for that red, Jennifer pretty dress get rid of the jacket, Naomi pretty color not sure about the top half.


Eddie & Tracey nice but the dress at the top is just, ugh, Sacha & Isla what can I say Borat has never looked so good and Isla's dress is beautiful, Forest & Keisha the color of her dress on her is fantastic.


More later.

I think Ellen did a pretty good job, although she seemed a little nervous, which of course comes with the territory. Haha, the naked thing made me laugh, and the silhouettes were pretty cool, especially The Devil Wears Prada heel and The Departed pistol.

I wish that one day there would be an Oscars ceremony that was completely unexpected and surprising, where the favourites don't always win. I think that would be pretty interesting. For example, the 79th Academy Award winners tonight would have been things like

Best Picture - Little Miss Sunshine
Best Director - Paul Greengrass
Best Actor - Ryan Gosling
Best Supporting Actor - Djimon Hounsou
Best Actress - Penélope Cruz
Best Supporting Actress - Abigail Breslin
Best Adapted Screenplay - Borat

Just imagine the outrage. But congrats to tonight's winners, especially Helen Mirren, Martin Scorsese, Ari Sandel, Forest Whitaker and Alan Arkin! The last three were pleasant surprises for me.

I liked Jack Black, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly's little number. =]

Countdown to the big 8-0 begins NOW.

^Well, there's a reason there's favorites, yes? Just like sports, we like to weight talent. Sure, an expected win is wonderful, but at the same time, perhaps there would be outrage because the most talented (or most deserving) didn't win.

Eight-oh eight-oh eight-oh! (I feel like I'm chanting my class year backwards. )(while vacuuming) "I didn't know this was part of the hosting duties! Oh, sorry, Penolope, that's a big dress you got there."

^Well yes, I agree, the favourites are usually the favourites BECAUSE of their outstanding performances. I’d just be curious in seeing an unexpected show, just for the experience and to see the surely interesting acceptance speeches. I liked Martin Scorsese’s acceptance speech (and when Ellen handed him her “script”.) Tonight was The Departed’s big night (with the sad exception of Mark and Leo.)

I wonder, if the orchestra didn’t cut them off at the mark, how long people’s acceptance speeches would really go on for…

I'm so happy that The Departed won Best Mostion Picture!
I'm so happy that Ellen Degeneres hosted!
I'm so happy that Martin Scorsese won!

I think that Forest's wife is so pretty!

Is this going to come out on DVD?
Because I really want to watch it.

I've never cried so much or bonded with the characters so much as in this movie. It was so beautifully done! Anyone (who is 17 or older) should see this movie.

In the scene with Megan's puppy, you can clearly see that she has a ring on her finger.

I thought what Mario said before he said he got married was cute.
When Nate and Jennylee met again, he looked pretty cute. Spiffy.

Woooow. Cece is FULL OF HERSELF.
I want to slap her.

it was so good, i cannot stress how good this movie is.


it won i think 2 oscars tonight ! yay. lol

it deserves 5 lol. its so freaking good.


i love the end and everything about the movie.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE. ITS HAUNTING. I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT.

The only reason I watched was b/c of Ellen DeGeneres<3 Haha, I can tell she was a bit nervous too..and she always makes me laugh on her show.

too much of scorcese however you spell it. but pans labyrinth should of won more and spanish lady from babel should of won too.

He won every other major award. If he didn't win, it would have been kind of an upset. Who did you want to/think was going to win instead?


Maggie just had a baby

- - -

I didn't get to see the awards but, Alan Arkin for Best Supporting Actor?! Come on. Not that I didn't like Little Miss Sunshine or his character, I just really didn't get what the hype was all about. IMO, it should have gone to Mark Wahlberg or Djimon Honsou.

uhm.. yay! so happy.

i loveed Reese Witherspoon's dress! it was so prettyy
and Abigail breslin was adorable; plus she won an oscar!

Damn i missed it, who performed?

...No, she didn't.... She was nominated, but she sure as hell didn't win.

Didnt borat win something?
I missed it i couldent get the satilite uplink to work to watch it.

Yes, I saw the winner, and then went back upstairs.

I was watching the "Live from the Red Carpet" today on E! I still adore Reeses' dress.
And I liked Maggie Gyllenhaal's too.

Little Miss Sunshine won 4. Ah yes, Reese looked beautiful.

The Departed wasn't the Best Picture. If anything it was the worst! I'm sorry but that movie blows. And I can enjoy a gang movie anytime but that movie seriously sucked ass. Freaking blowed. I was wanting it to be good too. Really. But it sucked.

^ You blaspheme! I loved that movie!

i know. i was shouting at the TV when it was announced.
hongkong pride man

glad Jennifer Hudson won.

Didn't get to watch it, I was working :rollseyes:
I was really upset about that.

But i looked up the winners list online.
very predictable actually.
maybe i didn't miss much

the best part of the whoooleee oscars was when the dreamgirls cast performed. it was UHmazing. beyonce did soooo good in the first two songs. jennifer hudson was great in the first song but got a little sloppy in listen. & anika noni & keith robinson did greeat!

for those who didn't see it;

Also: Sorta Dissapointed because Eddie Murphy didn't win Best Supporting Actor. He totally deserved it. HE KICKED ASS IN DREAMGIRLS !

D: I really wanted Peter to win Best Actor. He's been nominated like 10 times right? >.> He looked so disappointed.

^ Yeah, he's been nominated a lot, already.

I wanted Peter O' Toole to win, too. You could really tell that he wanted to win. I mean REALLY. It sucks watching the mixed look disappointment and happiness on the actors and actresses faces when they lose, but still have to be happy for their peers.

I actually like Nicole's dress and the way it contrasts with her skin.
And Keisha's dress... wow. It's perfect.

Reese looks like a high school kid in that picture.

I don't pay attention to awards. :P

Borat won at the Globes.

I need to see The Departed

Those ProActiv ones get on my nerves a lot! Esp. since they keep running the Jessica Simpson one. And their commercials are louder for some reason and that's annoying. You're watching a show and all of a sudden, "HI! I'M JESSICA SIMPSON...ETC." It's not a little louder, it's A LOT louder. Most of them are kinda funny to watch, especially when you can tell their low budget infomercials. Haha.

^ Yes, you do. It's awesome =D

He was alright. I really didn't understand the hype around his performance (unlike Jennifer Hudson, who definitely lived up to and surpassed expectations). Him and Will Smith. He had a good solid performance, but I don't think he was better than Mark Wahlberg.


The fact that Peter O'Toole has never won an Oscar (he got an honorary one a few years ago) is just one other stain on the Academy's reputation. Him and, until last Sunday, Scorsese.

^I was jumping up and down when Scorsese won. He was snubbed four times. Geez.

But I did like when Lucas, Speilberg and ??? Francis Ford Coppola (thank you, Carrie) presented the award, it was pretty cute.

The last one is Francis Ford Coppola, director of the Godfather series.

Yeah. I thought that Scooter & Megan got married. Haha.

Aww... It's over..

You know what? I think the majority of the people posting in this thread doesn't like Cecille at all, and face it, I don't think that that opinion will change. (Well at least mine wont). She won't change AT ALL, and I doubt she will even if she didn't win the money. Cecille will always be Cecille.

well, personally, i think Djimon hounsou could've...should've won his nomination.




lol mind explaining WHY it sucked?


oh and children of men should have won best cinematography by f**king FAR. its friggin obvious when you see it. that was just political.

imo i think it should've taken little miss sunshine's place for a best picture nomination.

what do u think of both shows?

which one is ur fav...

THE ADAMS FAMILY ?

or

THE MUNSTERS ?



(i LOVE both jeje)

It's "Addams." And Addams Family pws the Munsters.

Munsters, i think, because it was actually funny, addams' family was kind of boring.

^ The Munsters didn't get a feature film in the 90s. So therefore Addams > Munsters.

Addams Family.

"You're more punk, hardcore, mod, straightedge, emo, indie than me. Your hair is cooler, your pants are tighter, you have more tattoos. You have cooler pins on your messanger bag and your favorite band is more obscure than mine. Your shoes are more vintage and so is your t-shirt. You own more black clothes than me. I don't even own a denim jacket. Your glasses are thicker and blacker than mine, the plugs in your ears are bigger. You know more people in bands and your black jelly bracelets are the envy of scensters everywhere. Your photography is blacker and whiter, your Madradhair profile is wittier, and you have much better soul records. Your tie is whiter, or redder, or blacker. Your scene points are double, perhaps triple, mine. Because as we all know, that's what really matters. In a scene where the music has taken a backseat to the haircuts, you win and I lose. "

I'm pretty sure this isn't from any book or movie, since it refers to the "scene" movement, which seems to be a phenomena among teenagers and perhaps tweens (not that I know many). But yeah, my guess would be that somebody just wrote it up for their profile (or something to that effect) and it spread.

thanx for the correction i was doing it quickly cuz i was at school...
on our free day so i got on...

A google search only brough me to several myspace/xanga/etc... profiles where that paragraph was quoted; no author was credited.

As Anna said, it's probably a new fad thing since the term "scene" itself hasn't been used in this context since the early 1980's, and I doubt 40 year old punkers are really into making statements through their myspace profiles >_>;.

I've been a Scorsese fan forever. Loved Goodfellas. It's about time he finally won.

As for Jennifer Hudson, it's funny how everybody's saying it's about time she won when she just came out barely a year ago. During last year's Academy Awards, she was virtually a nobody so this is def. a big step for her.

It was stupid. They seemed like they just added the "f word" every other word just for emphasis..and it was just slow. I tried watching it twice and I just kept falling asleep. It failed to grasp my attention, and the vulgarity of it wasn't too..attractive to me. I just wasn't appealed by it.

Anyways..

^ Wow. I had the exact opposite reaction. I thought it was well-paced and I didn't mind the cursing. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Marty got robbed when Goodfellas lost (to freakin' Dances with Wolves!). That's probably why I love The Departed so much, because it reminds me so much of Goodfellas.

agreed. Goodfellas was such a f*cking classic. I prefer it over The Departed anyday..(not that The Departed wasn't any good).

Does anyone know the name of that movie. Where the guy falls in love with this girl but she's gunna get married and he's the best man. Ugh, i can't remember the name. Help please

UGH!

I can't remember. This errks me.
