Default So...Oscars
I see nobody has yet mentioned them, so I'll break the ice.

I think this year was a good year for movies, and the Oscar nominations and winners reflect this.

Discuss.

stayed up and watched them with my mum as is tradition. disappointed that george clooney won supporting actor. pretty pleased with the rest of the results, except for best animated feature because i fail to see the appeal of wallace and gromit and thought miyazake deserved it because he's an animation genius.
feels like the ceremony is losing it's magic more and more each year as they try and keep to time. jon stewart was a shit choice for host.

I didn't actually watch it. I hear Jon Stewart's jokes fell flat mostly.

I plan on seeing Syriana, but Clooney's been getting rave reviews for his performance in it.

Was surprised Brokeback didn't win a few more Oscars, but then the competition has been pretty good this year.

Was glad Reese Witherspoon won Best Actress. She was just amazing in Walk The Line.

Couldn't be bothered staying up, both Crash and Brokeback were good, but I would say Brokeback was the better film.

Unusual for a film that's been out for ages to win Best Picture as well.

Saw some clips on the news, I really wish some of the losers would look pissed off, like Samuel L Jackson did with Pulp Fiction.

Loved it when people mentioned Clooney in their speech and when the cameras cut to him he always had and expression ready.
The rappers who one the best song award were so funny when they accepted the award.
The Sky bits were shit, why have mariella frostrup and that plonker from heat that kept gushing over brokeback mountain?

It's a crime that Dig wasn't even nominated for best documentary.

Last year I had an Oscars party where everyone went to get pissed then we came home and watched them all and I shouted a lot about how obscene it was that Beyonce was there. This year I planned to do the same but I fell asleep before they started!
