bob_barron 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Bill's little depressed act kinda pissed me off. He didn't deserve to win- so why throw a little fit? I like Jude Law a lot. I loved him in Cold Mountain and he saved Alfie from being a complete and utter disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBright7831 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 I agree, it was very unprofessional of Bill just to sit there and not do anything when Penn was getting up from his seat. Especially when Penn complmented Murray, and all of the other actors in his acceptance sppech a few seconds later. That's probably the best memory of that show last year. You have that five screen showing all of the nominees (Johnny Depp, Ben Kingsly, Sean Penn, Jude Law, and Bill Murray) and when Nicole Kidman announced the winner, you see life just come out of Bill Murray. Fucking hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Here's my analysis. The Oscars are all about FINALLY giving people an award after dicking them for years. Thus: Best Picture: Gotta go with The Aviator. Eastwood has already won stuff so Million Dollar Baby won't win I don't think. Sideways is an indie flick and we all know how well those do in Oscar races. Finding Neverland is the sort of movie that gets all sort of nominations but no wins. Ray, as we have noted, isn't a great actual film. So basically they'll give it to Scorsese to shut him up. Besides, I saw the movie and it was really great. Best actor: Rock need not fear. Foxx will win a heated contest, but man is this category stacked or what? DiCaprio will finish 2nd narrowly here and cry on Scorsese's shoulder. Depp won't give a shit. Best supporting actor: For whatever reason I think Freeman will get this. Million $ Baby has to win SOMETHING and do you realize that Freeman has never won? At least I don't think he has. Best actress: The only two of these films I've even HEARD of are Eternal Sunshine and M$B. I think Kate will win this, mainly because "Two time oscar winner Hillary Swank" just sounds so strange. Best supporting actress: Well, Natalie Portman played a stripper (not quite a hooker, but still) so she will likely win. Haha! Best director: Gotta give it to Scorsese this time.

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Looks like Spider-man 2 is going to win Best Visual Effects. Harry Potter deserves it, for Buckbeak alone. Hotel Rwanda got screwed. Ray does not deserve picture/director nods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insane Bump Machine 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 I'm fine with almost everything, but why is Shark Tale nominated for Best Animation when Ghost in the Shell 2: INNOCENCE is not? It's not even my personal bias or anything, it's just plain obvious that Shark Tale isn't even in the same league as Innocence. IMDB ratings, just to further illustrate: Shark Tale - 5.8 Innocence - 7.7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Thoughts: Jim Carrey should have indeed been nominated, if Jaimie Foxx can shed the image of Booty Call and Wanda, why can't Jim shed the image of Fire Marshall Bill and Ace Ventura. Ghost in the Shell 2 should have been nominated. Better than Shrek 2. Incredibles should win anyway, so moot point. Eternal Sunshine should have been nominated for picture over Ray. I thought for sure that Freeman would have won an Oscar, but it looks like he hasn't. He has to get it as a consolation at least (haven't seen $1,000,000 baby.)

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Had Andy Kaufman been as beloved as Ray Charles- Carrey would've gotten a nod in 1999. I'm not upset about Foxx getting a nod for Ray- probably the best performance of the year. But him getting a nod for Collateral is just retarded. Tim Meadows was screwed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Part of the no Fahrenheit was back after it came out, Michael Moore said he was not entering it in the Documentary field of the awards, just the regular. He just wanted to be up for Best Picture and possibly Best Director. My guess is he did that as he knows the Academy dislikes him now and can use it as an excuse "People still don't accept documentary film!" Last year, although I enjoyed Bill Murray's performance and knew it wasn't the best in the field, I wanted to see him win. Just because all the other nominee were always there and this was the one time I could see Murray being nominated. I don't think he'll ever get that close again. Although, the trophy going to Sean Penn should've been for 21 Grams, when they gave it for Mystic River. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 well for one, I would say they're certainly trying to shake the image that they don't award black actors or movies driven by those actors...it's all political and I don't like it...give it to Denzel Washington becasue he's good, not because you fucked up and didn't give it to him for Malcolm X...Halle Berry seriously didn't deserve hers...

Guest Cerebus Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Chris Rock won't be Chris Rock if he's going to be censored to the degree he will be. Still, I think watching animals being mutilated would be funnier than another Academy Awards hosted by Billy Crystal or Whoopi Goldberg. Oh and they shit upon Eternal Sunshine. Fuck them.

Special K 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 With Denzel Washington, I think it was just one of those 'Oops, we're sorry!' wins because he should have won for earlier roles in his career. They do it all the time, so I don't think it's necessarily a race thing. Halle Berry though... Of course it wasn't a particularly strong year for actresses.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Exactly. the actress field really wasn't strong that year and out of those nominated, you have to admit that she did have one of the better performances. I think the fact that Monster's Ball was...well...lets just say an anti-good movie is why people feel she didn't deserve the award.

She gave the character emotional warmth and like the book, was able to make her very relatable. It's the movie that made Renee Zelwegger my favourite actress.
