I actually enjoyed the hell out of the Oscers this year. The Grammys are always a commercial joke, but the Oscers have a degree of class to them, and it's just funny to watch Jack Black jump on stage and say he's going to kick Leo's ass. All in all, a good show, but I'm annoyed that Children of Men didn't get more nods (damn fine movie) and that The Little Match Girl didn't win because it is the first work produced by the new generation of traditional hand-drawn Disney animators (never thought I'd see the way) trained by the people who brought us "the golden age" of classics.

Anyway, good show. Now I have some DVD's to buy.

[Mecha Cow]

Hmm, looks like I gotta give the Departed a rent.

I enjoyed the Oscars also this year, more than some other years. I thought Ellen was a great host. I want to see Children of Men; my brother saw it and was sad that it didn't win.

I was kinda pulling for little Abigail Breslin, but knew that Jennifer Hudson was a shoe-in to win. Same goes with Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren.

All in all, though, good show.


...the prepreshow, however, with Ryan Seacrest? Crap. It was like a high school... something. No class whatsoever.

I really hate that bastard. If they seem to think he's the new Dick Clark, then something is terribly wrong with this world.

[Dr. Doom]

I think Carson Daly was supposed to be the new Dick Clark. That makes Ryan Seacrest the new Carson Daly.

So, is the Departed really the best movie that came out last year?

What movies did you all thought deserved an Oscar. I honestly didn't see one movie this year that caught my attention, not enough to go out and buy it anyways, except for Cars. But I got that for my friends kids to watch when they come over.

[Raph's Girl]

I watched the pre-pre show in between the Nascar race and I didn't even see Ryan Seacrest. ô,0

I DO however HIGHLY reccomend the film that one for best live action short, West Bank Story. OMG... SOOO hilarious!! :lol:

[Scavenger]

The departed is a licensed US remake of the Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs so why does it get a Oscar? It's a copy. It doesnt deserve a oscar.

[tinlunlau]

and an announcer claimed that "Infernal Affairs" was a JAPANESE film. some class they showed. the fact that the oscars snubbed "Infernal Affairs" over "Hero" back in 2003 was proof enough that they've lost alot of creditability. "hero" didn't even win from its nomination either back in 2003.

[raphael_is_cool]

I've never been a big fan of Scorcese and some say he was only given the Oscars because he's usually snubbed; it was a remake after all and a flabby one at that. It's like when they gave all the awards to 'Return of the King' when it was the weakest of the trilogy.

I can't believe Happy Feet won an award as well. Wasn't everyone signing the praises of Monster House? I quite liked Over The Hedge.
