[OT] Lotr:FotR is now an Oscar winner

[Nightfall]

Ben Stiller is the guy from Something About Mary, Meet the Parents etc. Not Oscar material IMO. Sir Ian should have gotten it. Just his facial expressions as Gandalf should have given it to him. But that's just my humble opinion.

I KNOW who Ben Stiller is (I thought Something about Mary was very good!) I was referring to the gentleman that won for Best Supporting Actor, since it WASN'T Sir Ian who SHOULD have won. (He was already shafted ONCE for his role in Gods and Monsters, a film that I LIKED even if it was a little odd)

The 'Ben Stiller' thing was a joke...

Jim Broadbent is a very fine actor, and his performance in Iris was remarkable. I was happy to see him win, though I would also have liked to see 'Sir Ian' win -- but he has two more years to take a crack at this one, and it's not as if he isn't already a rather well-recognized international star of stage and screen...

... a dwarf, a halfling and a human are drinking ale and a fly lands in each one's pint...

Eternalknight - there are some up to date websites running around. Even for us down under

 

[Green Knight]

Moulin Rouge looks like crap to me, so I haven't bothered to see it. And I LIKE musicals. My Fair Lady is my favorite. Well, moving on...

So far 10 down, with 3 to go.

Just lost Best Original Song. Crapinger.

Won 4 of 10

Random Thought of the Day: Faith Hill is friggin' gorgeous!

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

.....the entertainers on the stage seem to be performing a disjointed montage of songs....

 

[Nightfall]

I think Jim Broadbent won for his performance in Moulin Rouge!, even if his nomination said Iris. Typical Academy silliness.

You're kidding right? *pauses and then thinks* No wait this is the Academy that LOST the voting ballots so you're probably right.

 

[Eternalknight]

Care to point some out Skywalker?

 

[Zhure]

Faith Hill downgraded the boredom factor.

Just his facial expressions as Gandalf should have given it to him. But that's just my humble opinion.

If facial expressions qualified anyone to win an Oscar, a trained Chimpanzee could win it every year....

And I certainly think LotR: FotR does NOT deserve to win Best Adapted Screenplay. It was not a very good adaptation of the book, because it was at variance with the pace of the book so many times that a reader trying to match his reading with the movie would have a hard time just keeping his breath.

I know this is probably the worst place in the world to post this, but it's what I believe in.
