Anyone here feel that Saving Private Ryan was robbed by Shakespeare in Love? I ask the question because I just thought of it, and I remember being irritated about it

No...Saving Private Ryan wasn't that great. It was like Gladiator, good but not great and it didn't deserve an Oscar.

I loved Gladiator.

Oh don't get me wrong, I also liked Gladiator, but it really didn't deserve to win Best Picture.

I could see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon beating Gladiator, even though I preferred the latter. But Erin Brockovich, Traffic, and Chocolat were all horrible.

Is the instant replay neccessary?

 

I loved it when they had Peter Coyote dressed up like a 25th Century black jack dealer doing the bumpers backstage.

I didn't like any of the nominees that year. William Goldman wrote a brilliant essay on how bad Saving Private Ryan is from a screenplay and film construction point of view.

I don't know about that guy, but if you look at www.rottentomatoes.com and type in saving private ryan, you'll see that 99.9% of the critics gave it glowing reviews with words like masterpiece, brilliant, and "instant classic" thrown in in almost every review

Oh yeah, that's right Gladiator won it in a very weak year. I was thinking there was some other movie that had a chance of winning(CTHD had little chance) which deserved to win.

So the Two Towers gets a ten second scene, but they play the trailer for Gangs of New York? Wonder what that says?

Is it just me, or did that guy look cocky as the beast when he got up on stage?

Keeping pace with downhome at 5/8

 

I thought Renee looked a little shocked when she read Frida for the win.

Notice no clip of Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White.

I got my token Twin Towers awards right.

 

Over an hour and a half in and no war speechs. Steve Martin is regulating.

I'm pleasently surprised... even if I were anti-war which I'm not, I still wouldn't want to hear them

Ok, so I spoke too soon. GO KICK HIS ASS STEVE!

This show is not the place to preach anti-war damnit, fuck anyone who does so at this time. That is all.

Who was it that went anti-war? I just flipped back to it.
