I wasn't really impressed with the Oscars this year... then again, I hate it when a single movie wins so many awards like that.

I wanted Murray to win too. ;( Blagh.

I wonder of ROTK won as a stand alone merit, or it won with the whole trilogy in view.

I think it had plenty of standalone merit, but it was probably some of both.

Kegwen, I agree. Though usually fantasy doesn't win..even very good fantasy when it is competing against fine drama.

The other LOTR movies were good as well, and still lost. I wonder if the fact it was a completed trilogy, filmed at one time, and released in consecutive years gave it the edge.

 
can you please fix my title
posted 03-01-2004 02:29:16 AM
it was they gave the triligy as a whole greater weight and part of why it got so many nods was the fact it hadnt done as well as it might the previous two times.

the 3 movies together are considered a great work and they feelt they had to show they were in touch with modern veiwers.

thats doesnt explain sean pean though.

Sean Penn should choke on a cock and die. Barring that, he should take some lessons from Billy Crystal. Billy Crystal made his Bush jab funny.

"Things were different when I hosted my first Oscars, 13 years ago. Bush was president, the economy was tanking hard, and we'd just finished a war in Iraq."

Thank God that fat tub of triglycerides Michael Moore wasn't there. And that Tim Robbins kept his remarks brief. It would have been shame if I had to shoot my TV.

I guess making jabs like that is all Sean Penn has left for a hobby. He's older now and if he tried beating up the younger generation of paparazzi, he'd probably get his head handed to him.

I think people like Penn should leave politics out of their speeches.

However, I think its perfectly fine for Michael Moore and that guy who won best documentory this time, because it actually relates to what they did.

It's no different than when the best supporting actor guy talked about people getting help for abuse in real life, or whatever.

I dont think it deserved all 11 of those at all.

A lot of people are complaining about LotR The Return of the King winning so many.. You have to remember that they are taking home all of those awards(The major ones anyways) for the Trilogy and not for one single movie itself.

Other than that.. Depp and Murray should have won... But I don't think you can have a tie.


BTW... I watched Benny and Joon for the first time last weekend.. Awesome movie. I love Depp even more now. Aidian Quinn too.

That would be true if what Moore won for last time was actually a documentery, instead of the lies and propoganda that it was.

Michael Moore did a good job of refuting these claims on his own.

I can see not liking it, sure.

But there's no way you can deny what a massive and unprecedented project it was, or how well it was pulled off.

Only thing I can think of is a reaaaallly rich nerd who wanted them made into movies...

But ya think something like that would have gotten press.

It's a new thing in the movie business called a "studio" that sometimes give "money" to "producers" and "directors" to pay for "actors" and "other things" to make something called a "movie".

Pretty much New Line Cinemas took a big gamble and gave Peter Jackson 300 million or so to make the trilogy. If the films had bombed, New Line Cinemas would probably be bankrupt right now.

I'm especially fond of political doublespeak like:

quote:
I can guarantee to you, without equivocation, that every fact in my movie is true.

I also appreciate that he included the full transcript of Heston's speech in Denver, which makes one wonder why the sequence was included in the video at all, especially given that the second paragraph of the transcript talks about cancelling festivities at the wishes of Denver citizens. Not to mention the last paragraph, which seems to have pegged Mr. Moore exactly.

To stay on topic:

I'm amazed that LotR won for Best Picture. I wasn't expecting that at all.

LOL God that man is such a fucknut.
I can think of no man in the world I hate more than Moore except perhaps OBL. And at least OBL isn't a traitor to his own country like this waste of air.

I had to stop reading for a few minutes so I didn't throw up when trying to wade through the bullshit on that page. He all but admitted that he lied and in BfC just to get attention.

The shitslinging is coming from both sides, I see.

It's almost funny. Then I realize you're both silly.

On a side note: Any freaky crap they had to edit out on their tape-delay, as far as anyone knows?
