The Oscars

[Sweet One]

Who do you think will win? :)

[Professor Peedston]

*shrugs* beats the hell out of me.

all i know is hope "lost in translation" wins a lot of crap because that was the only really good movie i've seen in the past year. i don't even know who's nominated for anything.

should i mention i've only seen about 5 or 6 movies that came out in the last year, and two of those were matrix sequels? :lol:

when are the oscars anyway?

[Sweet One]

They're on Sunday!

And I agree with you on Lost in Translation. That movie was great! Bill Murray should win, but i have a feeling Sean Penn might take it for Mystic River. :)

[rf_ucsd]

I don't quite understand how one could see both mystic river and lost in translation and say Bill Murray's performance was the superior performance. Cuold somebody describe their view?

[LiquidSky]

ROTK :D :D :D

[rf_ucsd]

I would bet my money on ROTK, Peter Jackson, Sean Penn, Charlize Theron, Tim Robbins and Rene Zellwegger.

I would perfer Watts instead of Theron and Harden instead of Zellwegger.

[LiquidSky]

Hmmm everybody knows that the rotk is gonna win.... :rolleyes: :D I mean THEY HAVE TO WIN, GOD DAMN IT! :angry: :D :D :P

[soleil]

Seabiscuit is so underrated. :( I don't think it will win anything. :/

[Sweet One]

Don't get me wrong.....I loooove Sean Penn. I don't know. I just thought Bill Murray was good too.

*walks aimlessly around room*

[rf_ucsd]

I like Bill Murray a lot, and I think that he has been generally underappreciated as people hold tight to antiquaited preconceptions. But at the same time, I think to let that sentiment overshadow really great performances like Penn's or Ben Kingsley's is a great disservice to them. Murray did a really good job, but in all it wasn't the type of demanding role that Penn's was. This is not to say Murray didn't do a great job, but the job at his feel required less than what Penn's did.

[rf_ucsd]

Seabiscuit is so underrated. :( I don't think it will win anything. :/

It got nominated for best picture in a year where there were a lot of very good movies. That's quite an acoomplishment.

OK .. work break ovah.

Maybe.

[Sweet One]

Very true good sir...very true. :cool:

[sailormaxx]

I'm rooting for Lost In Translation. :D
Return Of The King will probably win a bunch of awards though.

:cool:

[Yellowsparks]

Woooooowooooooo!!!!! RETURN OF THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smug:
And - DAMN! - I'm so sorry for our czech film Želary :cry:

[weedy_gonzalez]

me too. i hoped it`d win. it was shot in poland i think.

but i`m happy for charleze thrron and sofia coppola and rene zellweger (sp?).

i`m dissapointed that the show was so predictible therefore so boring. i could hardly keep myself awake.

and of course the lord of tha rings got it all which was kinda disturbing. i hate big production films like this becuz it shadows all the other great films. oh well.. :dozey:

[Angel at his table]

Yeah, that's right, but I love Tolkien and his books - and books are better :smug: , but - c'mon - Return of the King was the last part ;) and it was really GOOD film :D
And - it was in "Hollywood style" - so what could we expect ?:lol:

[weedy_gonzalez]

was it really that good? it was waaaayyyy toooo loooong for my poor butt.

[Angel at his table]

Mmm...I know...I couldn't move then :lol:
But i love it :)

[weedy_gonzalez]

i loved the music more than the movie :o

[Angel at his table]

Yeah, the music is beautiful - especially Annie Lennox and her song Into the West!

[weedy_gonzalez]

i liked the choir

[Angel at his table]

OK :)

[Juliana]

yeah!! :D
Wow! It was amazing!! Lord of the Rings took all and I am shining! :blush:
I think I´m gonna bet this seriously, 'cos in the 25 categories I guessed 23!! :D :D

I just love the Oscars.
:P

[noni]

I say: big yaaaaaaaaaaay for Tim Robbins!!!!!! :D :D :D

[Juliana]

Yeah!!!!!He´s amazing!! :)

[noni]

Ooooh yeah, his role in Mystic River is so great!!
And Marcia Gay Harden should've won instead of Renee Zellweger. Her character is quite better!!


And I also say: yaaaaaaaay for Lost in translation!! :D

[::Hayley::]

Yeah, the music is beautiful - especially Annie Lennox and her song Into the West!
i've just watched her sing that on tv! :) it was fantastic

[Juliana]

Yes!! Amazing!! :)

[Angel at his table]

I think that her song is better than Enya and May it Be :wink3:

[weedy_gonzalez]

no way!!!

[Angel at his table]

I like Enya's songs (she's my favourite female singer), but if i can choose between May it Be and Into the West, I'll choose Into the West :D

[weedy_gonzalez]

aight. :D

[Angel at his table]
