Oscarwatch 2006
Mar. 5th, 2006 08:23 pmWatching the Oscars (yes, I know how "gay" that's supposed to be and no, I don't care)
I loved the host intro skit. "Oh, HELL no!" ::snerk::
Jon Stewart's monologue was okay, but I think he's nervous about being live in front of so many people.
Clooney won the Best Supporting Actor. Good for him.
Ben Stiller just isn't funny, people, and no amount of crappy "jokes" are going to help that. Can someone just shoot him and put me out of his misery? I did NOT need to see that much of his package.
Having seen all 3 nominees for Best Animated Picture, I think that the right film won. Howl's Moving Castle was good, but Wallace & Gromit was better.
I really like Dolly Parton. She seems like such a genuinely nice person.
Y'know, it would be nice if anyone had actually seen any of the short films. Plus, it's past time to stop using animated characters as "hosts". It was never all that clever to start and it's just tired now.
Memoirs of a Geisha was such a lock for Best Costume that it was hardly worth competing against it.
And now, the first award of the night that I disagree with. Michelle Williams really should have won Best Supporting Actress. Her performance in Brokeback Mountain was every bit as powerful as that of the leads. My guess is that Brokeback is going to win Best Picture and therefore, all the other nominations got shut out.
Re: March of the Penguins winning Best Documentary: see comments about Geisha above.
But man, those guys were so French it was painful. And poor Morgan Freeman: he looked so surprised and confused when that spot randomly lit on him.
Damn! Selma Hayek looks good! That dress looks really good on her!
Yay! Brokeback won Best Score! And well it should have; the theme was so immediately identifiable and memorable.
o_O What. The. Hell. Is up with that new Tab commercial? All those women looked like they were made up and dressed by blind whores. Not my idea of attractive, thanks.
Since almost all of the nominees in the "Big 4" deserved their noms, I felt good about all the winners, except for Best Picture. Either Brokeback or Capote should've won that. Glad to see Brokeback bring one of 'em home, though.
