The Oscars

[epicSocialism4tw]

...have turned into political grandstanding. Does anyone really take this stuff seriously?

I used to love going to the movies. At some point in the last 4-5 years, it became cumbersome because every movie I saw had some social agenda attached to it. Needless to say, I dont go much anymore.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Didn't know the Oscars were tonight

[epicSocialism4tw]

Didn't know the Oscars were tonight

I just found it on TV. It looks like it just ended...

[watermock]

I bet the Homo Cowboys got a few.

[spdirty]

I thought they were Tuesday, not that I care enough to pay attention...did the queer movie win everything?

[Edskins_RVA]

Nope.. Just Best Director and some technicals.. Crash won best pic..

I watched the whole show there was not one political reference, what the hell are you talking bout...

[spdirty]

whats crash?

[Clockwork Orange]

I bet the Homo Cowboys got a few.

Troy Aikman was in a movie?

[Edskins_RVA]

Troy Aikman was in a movie?
Hilarious!

[Kaylore]

Cinderella man got jobbed and should have been nominated for quite a few.

Memoirs of a Geisha, while not the most exciting movie ever made, is one of the most beautifully I've seen (and I'm a film student). Appropriately they won for many of the art department awards, so I was happy.

[Edskins_RVA]

whats crash?
Ensemble movie w/ a racism theme.. Pretty good actually..

[Sassy]

I saw Reese Witherspoon won for Walk The Line...other than that and Crash, I missed the rest of it.

[spdirty]

we could go on and on. Most movies nowadays have a leftist political agenda that they try to force down our throats.

Best actor went to George W Bush for impersonating a president.

Nice to see they got that right...did Rokin Phoenix win best actor?

[Edskins_RVA]

Clooney did win Best Supporting Liberal Activist.. I mean Actor! :clown:

[Edskins_RVA]

Nope.. Gay guy from Capote..

[spdirty]

Nope.. Gay guy from Capote..


Figures

Im not scared of queers, I just dont like em.



I’m glad to see we have a strong homophobic contingent on this board.

[Sassy]

Did Joaquin Phoenix win for his role as Cash?
Oops...just saw it...sorry.
He did an excellent job. He should have won.

The actor is not gay, but Capote was.

I was waiting for someone to say something like that.. :giggle:

[Kaylore]

LOL Well glad you settled that issue.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Did Joaquin Phoenix win for his role as Cash?
Oops...just saw it...sorry.

I havent seen the flick, but I heard that he sang the tunes in studio for that movie. Johnny Cash Karaoke if you will. He sounded quite authentic.

[Edskins_RVA]

The actor is not gay, but Capote was.
Are you sure?! Hoffman seems to play gay quite a bit..

[baja]

Im not scared of queers, I just dont like em.

A little know correlation is men who have pythons for pets are latent homosexuals.

[spdirty]

Let me rephrase that. I don't like what they do.

[Kaylore]

I havent seen the flick, but I heard that he sang the tunes in studio for that movie. Johnny Cash Karaoke if you will. He sounded quite authentic.
Phoenix is surprisingly under-hyped for all the incredible work he's done. His nomination is a good step in the right direction for him getting the recognition he deserves.

[Edskins_RVA]

I havent seen the flick, but I heard that he sang the tunes in studio for that movie. Johnny Cash Karaoke if you will. He sounded quite authentic.
Just saw it the other night! Great movie and good singing from the actors as well.. John Stewart had 1 or 2 good lines tonight. "..Anyone see Walk the Line? It's just Ray with a white cast.." :giggle:

[Kaylore]

Are you sure?! Hoffman seems to play gay quite a bit..
I can think of this film and Boogie Nights. Two is not quite a bit unless I'm missing some.

[Wes Mantooth]

These guys?

[Sassy]

I havent seen the flick, but I heard that he sang the tunes in studio for that movie. Johnny Cash Karaoke if you will. He sounded quite authentic.
Reese Witherspoon also sang as June Carter. They both deserved to win, IMO.

He wasn't just acting as Cash...he was Cash...someone else said it on a movie thread...and I thought the same thing.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Phoenix is surprisingly under-hyped for all the incredible work he's done. His nomination is a good step in the right direction for him getting the recognition he deserves.

Yeah...I've been impressed with nearly every movie he's done and he's been a huge part of why I enjoyed those films. He was immense in Gladiator, and he created a great authentic character in Signs.

[baja]

You're right he is a terrific actor and he should have won supporting actor in Gladiator.

[spdirty]

Phoenix is surprisingly under-hyped for all the incredible work he's done. His nomination is a good step in the right direction for him getting the recognition he deserves.


I agree. i thought one of his best roles was Gladiator, based solely on the fact that I just friggin hated him in that one. Walk the Line was his best job ever though, IMO.

[Clockwork Orange]

I can think of this film and Boogie Nights. Two is not quite a bit unless I'm missing some.

He played a sexual deviant in the move Happiness but it's OK, he was into women. :thumbs:

[Edskins_RVA]

I can think of this film and Boogie Nights. Two is not quite a bit unless I'm missing some.
There was at least one more.. The flick with him and DeNiro as neighbors in some NY building.. Hoffman was a cross-dresser in that one..

[Edskins_RVA]

He played a sexual deviant in the move Happiness but it's OK, he was into women. :thumbs:
I think that's the one!

[spdirty]

I think that's the one!


As long as he was into women, im cool with it.

[Edskins_RVA]

As long as he was into women, im cool with it.
I'm pretty sure he at least smoked pole in that one too... J/K :rofl:

Yeah thats it.

[Edskins_RVA]

Why are you so defensive about this?! ;D

[UltimateHoboW/Shotgun]

I watched the whole show there was not one political reference, what the hell are you talking bout...


Are you kidding me the first thing out of G Clooney's mouth was some BS about how great the "Acadamy" was this great instatution of social thinking. And how long was it between Best actor oscars that went to a black actor? And how many black actress how won the oscar besides Halley Barry?

[Kaylore]

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is also an excellent actor. I haven't seen some of the actor's performances that he beat out for the Oscar but I don't doubt he probably deserved to win. He's an actor that is unattractive and yet has managed to find solid work that isn't excessively "character acting" which most "ugly" actors have to take to compensate. That he beat out the other prettier faces really surprises me - It's a step in the right direction.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Are you sure?! Hoffman seems to play gay quite a bit..

Well anything is possible, but he has a wife and two kids.

I haven't seen any of these movies, but I am interested in seeing Capote only because it was about his writing of In Cold Blood - great book

[Mtbrncofn]

Yeah...I've been impressed with nearly every movie he's done and he's been a huge part of why I enjoyed those films. He was immense in Gladiator, and he created a great authentic character in Signs.


Same here. I've always loved him. He's run the whole gambit as an actor and I really enjoyed all of it. I had high hopes for him. He was absolutely great in Signs...the best part of the movie, IMO. I'm not an alien/sci fi movie kind of person, but his part in it actually made me like the movie.

I totally agree! I was just razzin' him and trying to fit into the "theme" of the night..

[Kaylore]

You're speaking like he's dead! A nomination is huge and only guarantees he's going to get many more larger roles. Rest assured, we'll see more Joaquin.

[dakranker]

“He played a sexual deviant.” Rapists are into woman are you cool with that?

[Breck Bronc]

He played a sexual deviant in the move Happiness but it's OK, he was into women. :thumbs:He had quite the interesting method of hanging things on his wall. Ewwwww. That was a disturbing movie, though it was good, too.

Signs was a relationships movie. It was about people. The aliens were really a small part of what was great about the move. Gibson is a fantastic actor, and his/Phoenix's/the child's interplay made that movie.

[spdirty]

“He played a sexual deviant.” Rapists are into woman are you cool with that?

No...didnt know anything about the movie. When someone says "sexual deviant" I think "has a ton of sex with lots of women," not rape.

[Kaylore]

It was about relationships, but it was mainly a film about faith. One of the best and most stealthed religious movies out there. Too bad half the audiences missed the point.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Yeah, you're right. I didnt want to bring that up because I was certained that I would be attacked on the thread.

Big time faith movie. Very well done.

[Mtbrncofn]

You're speaking like he's dead! A nomination is huge and only guarantees he's going to get many more larger roles. Rest assured, we'll see more Joaquin.


Well his bid for an Oscar is!

I also hope he can stay sober. I know he checked himself into rehab not too long ago. I remember being so disappointed when I had read that he had a problem with alcohol. Very cool of him to get himself help though. Seems like the whole rehab thing doesn't miss too many actors.

[Breck Bronc]

Are you sure?! Hoffman seems to play gay quite a bit..Hoffman has one child, Cooper Alexander, with girlfriend Mimi O´Donnell. Of course, Tom Cruise supposedly impregnated Katie Holmes, so you never know, but I think Hoffman is straight.

[Mtbrncofn]

I was going to say it too, but things go down the crapper fast when you throw religion into the mix around here.

My favorite part of the movie is when he ( Joaquin ) is sitting on the bed with the kids and they all have their tin foil hats on. Just the look on his face.....

[Crushaholic]

If that's true (I honestly don't know), it would explain how he was able to depict the horrors of addiction so well. He did a great job in that movie, and I was glad Reese took home the Oscar.

[Mtbrncofn]

Did you guys see him in Quills? That was quite the movie.

[Breck Bronc]

In the past few months I've watched movies like Stand By Me, My Own Private Idaho, Running on Empty, the opening to Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade and remembered how great River Phoenix was. It's too bad he died so young.

Acting is an emotionally demanding profession. In the movie industry your value is based on your popularity which comes and goes. Some of the acting methods actors use to bring themselves to the emotional position they need to be can be permanently psycologically damaging. Now remember that certain scenes require an actor come to an emotional Zenith again and again. Couple that with a general inability for people to deal with success (there are no classes on dealing with fame) and its a recipe for disaster. The same thing happens to a lot musicians.

I often wonder if the movie industry wouldn't benifit from the kind of educational programs that the NFL have to teach players how to manage their money and organize their life. It probably would help.

Stand By Me...I have seen that move a billion times, and can still watch it without getting bored.

[Clockwork Orange]

Yes, quite the decorator he was. ;D

Strangely enough he wasn't the most depraved SOB in the movie. Good flick but some very unsettling elements to it.

Not really. SAG has enough money and could easily foot the bill. They would never do it, though.

Joaquin Phoenix has checked into a rehabilitation facility to deal with alcohol abuse problems. "He was uncomfortable with the way that he was living his life and found the courage to deal with his disease," publicist Susan Patricola said in a statement Tuesday.


I think that part is very cool.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Not really. SAG has enough money and could easily foot the bill. They would never do it, though.

Why wouldnt they?

[Kaylore]

Why wouldnt they?
A lot of reasons. i don't want to derail the thread. Mostly because lieka lot of unions they would rather spend money on political campaigns and lobbyists to try and push legislation. Most unions these days exist as a medium to put money into the political process ensure their own existance. There isn't anything wrong with that on it's surface, but directily serving constituents with programs like that aren't too common. It would be great for actors who have a lot of money AND for the majority who have very little.

[Crushaholic]

I loved the look on the faces of the makers of "Crash". I think they were genuinely not expecting to win. If you listen to the "experts", the cowboy movie was supposed to run away with best picture...

whatever. Rap is so crappy these days. Its all about the beat and the words are just scrambled in.

-"Its hot out here for a pimp"
- "haeohdhasgGD"

At least thats what i heard. :~ohyah!:

Just as Steve Harvey said one time, "Why cant all 10 guys just pass the mike around instead of screaming in it at the same time?"

I like the foreign guy too. Also Reece winning was good caz it gave the viewers someone nice to look at. :sunshine:

[Breck Bronc]

You're right, Nicholson was presenting Best Picture and Hanks for Best Director.

Clooney was a riot for the best supporting actor nod.

What does the right do for entertainment since they believe all the actors, muscians, artists, etc ... are liberials with an agenda?

The fact that Juaquin Phoenix didn't win an Oscar just solidifies by suspiscion that they are full of ****.

I think a lot of people turn to acting, and other performing arts, because they crave the validation from the attention that goes along with it. Success doesn't always fill that void. Also, Hollywood is rife with nepotism and addiction can be an inherited or a learned behavior.

They should have been stunned to be nominated. I didn't see Brokeback, but I would say that Crash is arguably the worst movie to win Best Picture in the last 20 years.

re the topic, LOL the only winners I've seen so far are march of the penguins and wallace and grommet curse of the wererabbit and batman begins which one a cinemeatography or something (and I didn't see the end of it cause the dvd was messed up) and King Kong

Mrs Dog had me add the Constant Gardner to our que at netflix, but I don't think she'll like it. I read the book and while it was a helluva good read, it was very sad.I wanna see Capote, Walk the Line, Pride and Prejudice, and I guess Syriana

reese witherspoon is putting forth a rather impressive body of work (no pun intended, though cruel intentions is a really sexy movie)

[jonny1]

Did anyone else notice Tom Hanks cursing out Jon Stewart when he was walking out to present the Best Picture category? Maybe I'm going crazy, I don't know.

That was part of the joke from earlier when Hanks was part of a clip on speeches running long. While he was giving his "acceptance" speech, members of the orchestra surrounded him, and one of the violinists hit him over the head with his violin, then the clarinet player shot him with a tranquilizer dart.

Stewart said it was amazing that a 2 time winner would let them hit him over the head with a violin, so as Hanks walked out, he continued playing along.

March of the Penguins wasn't a Batman movie...it was really cool tho. It's unreal how they can incubate eggs on their feet/bellies in the antarctic is not the most incredible thing...wifey pops an egg and hubby has to tend it while she fattens up....like months he sits there on that egg...no food, no water but snow...it's amazing he has the strength to even go fishing after all that time...if she even shows up at all. (You know how those Female Penguins are), and how they can find their own in a flock that is huge by a particuliar call genuine to each family.

It's unreal how they can incubate eggs on their feet/bellies in the antarctic is not the most incredible thing...wifey pops an egg and hubby has to tend it while she fattens up....like months he sits there on that egg...no food, no water but snow...it's amazing he has the strength to even go fishing after all that time...if she even shows up at all. (You know how those Female Penguins are), and how they can find their own in a flock that is huge by a particuliar call genuine to each family.

I too, thought this was a great movie. There were some really sad parts to it, but I learned a lot watching it. I was amazed to find out that an Emperor penguin can dive 1700 feet.

I thought it was heartbreaking to see the penguins that fumbled the pass and their egg froze almost instantly. They were so forlorn. They knew what had just happened.

That was a really sad movie. A friend took my kid to see 8 below a few weeks back, and my kid was rather traumatized.

They should have been stunned to be nominated. I didn't see Brokeback, but I would say that Crash is arguably the worst movie to win Best Picture in the last 20 years.

They should give that award to their marketing department. The last month or so they inundated the academy with a massive marketing campaign for Crash. Crash shouldn't have even been on the list. It was false, manipulative and sickeningly PC not to mention one thing that I hate in any screenplay: instead of character motivation driving the plot (or legitimate outside forces), unbelievable coincidence does. Yecch. That's what beginners fall back on. Should have won Best Song, though.

Having seen all the movies on the list, I would have to say that Brokeback, Munich and Capote would have to be the only worthy contenders for best picture. Good Night, Good Luck was just too didactic for my tastes and too small a film in scope and power to be consider for Best Picture. I would have picked Capote over all, because the script was so tight from beginning to end, the performances were absolutely remarkable (especially Hoffman's, but also the guy who played Perry Smith) and it was truly flawless and complex, from start to finish. The spell was never broken. Brokeback was beautifully filmed and probably had the strongest emotional impact of the three, but it dragged in a few spots, especially toward the end. Munich was just a bloody intense, damn scary flick, but a little too long. I think it's Spielberg's best film so far. None of the schmaltz he so often falls back on. All three were damn good films, but I would have to give Capote the edge.

The Academy did itself no favors last night. Playing music while recipients are getting the awards was insulting and intrusive. Jon Stewart just wasn't up to the task. The whole production zipped along like, "Let's get this over with." And nobody got emotional. Too much botox, I guess. Hey, Academy! If you don't care, neither do we.

[-Slap-]

I didn't watch The Oscars because I hate award shows of any kind. I was surprised to hear Jon Stewart was tabbed as host, though. I think he's an intelligent and funny guy, but his sardonic style of humor seems like a poor fit for the event.

[bendog]

ratings were down 10%. My kid was watching vh1 or something with a top 20 music countdown, and when she went to bed around 8:30 we just turned off the tv and listened to the neighbor's dogs barking, which was an improvement

They should have been stunned to be nominated. I didn't see Brokeback, but I would say that Crash is arguably the worst movie to win Best Picture in the last 20 years.That's a good debate. Here's the list of winners, followed by their IMDB user rating:

1986 - Out of Africa 6.8
1987 - Platoon 8.1
1988 - The Last Emperor 7.9
1989 - Rain Man 7.9
1990 - Driving Miss Daisy 7.4
1991 - Dances With Wolves 7.8
1992 - Silence of the Lambs 8.6
1993 - Unforgiven 8.1
1994 - Schindler's List 8.8
1995 - Forrest Gump 8.3
1996 - Braveheart 8.3
1997 - The English Patient 7.1
1998 - Titanic 7.0
1999 - Shakespeare in Love 7.5
2000 - American Beauty 8.5
2001 - Gladiator 8.1
2002 - A Beautiful Mind 7.8
2003 - Chicago 7.4
2004 - Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 8.9
2005 - Million Dollar Baby 8.4
2006 - Crash 8.4

I'd agree that Out of Africa, Chicago, Titanic and The English Patient are some of the worst (relatively) Best Picture winners. I believe Crash is below average among Best Picture winners, but not grouped at the very bottom.

I think the most undeserving winners were Forrest Gump and Titanic. There's no way Forrest Gump was more deserving of an Oscar than The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction. 1994 was one of the best movie years ever and Forrest Gump was at best the third best film that year. 1997 was also a great movie year and L.A. Confidential, Good Will Hunting, and As Good as It Gets were better than Titanic (imo).

Forrest Gump was better than both the pictures it beat out.

Pulp Fiction was garbage. Shawshank was a really good movie, but Stephen King wrote it and he is never going to get a Best PIcture. Ever.

[anthonypacino]

For the most part I think the awards are a PC as it gets, everyone gets a "ribbon" you may not win for best pic but you will win for something. Walk the Line was good but I wanted more about his life, music not just his romance with June. Walk the Line was about the only one of these movies that anyone really watched anyway.

Pulp Fiction was garbage. Shawshank was a really good movie, but Stephen King wrote it and he is never going to get a Best PIcture. Ever.Pulp Fiction was garbage LOL . This after saying the same about The Sopranos. I guess there's no accounting for taste.

Most people agree Shawshank and Pulp Fiction were better than Forrest.

The Shawshank Redemption #2 overall
Pulp Ficiton #8
Forrest Gump #98

Beat me to it, oh well, always fun to pile on Alec.

No worries though, Houston can always claim E-40 :rofl:

And I also think that it's bull**** that keira Knightley didn't win best actress.

I thought E-40 was from like Florida or something like that?

But, Houston rules for bringing the world Chamillionaire.

Don't give the great state of Florida crappy rappers like E-40, he is a Texan.

Cham's mixtape is sweet, anyone that wants to diss Mike Jones is awesome.

Well, according to his bio, they say he's from Vallejo, California, and is big in that bay area scene.

But yeah, Cham's mixtape is great, and his album is really good. I love it. But I also dig a little Mike Jones, he bumps in my car.

I really cant stand Mike Jones, he seriously might be my most hated rapper.

And about the Houston thing, I remember a song with E-40 and UGK talking about being from Houston, so I guess it's UGK that is from texas and not E-40.

A lot of people hate Mike Jones. I dunno, some of his stuff is catchy. Like, his album isn't worth buying, and I only like 4 or 5 tracks on it at most. I guess he's just hit or miss. His hits are fire though, IMO.

I saw him in concert over the summer in Albuquerque, that was a trip. Being 1 of 2 white kids there (the other being my boy who tagged along) is always good times.

Mike Jones got annoying with that "WHO? Mike Jones" **** after hearing it time and time again, and then "Back then" just totally ruined it for me.

Some people do like him otherwise he wouldn't be around still, but I just can't get into it.

Speaking of "Back Then," I did that song drunk as hell at the campus bar the night they were doing karaoke like 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Needless to say, the hoes were all on me.

[Mtbrncofn]

That was a really sad movie. A friend took my kid to see 8 below a few weeks back, and my kid was rather traumatized.


Dang, that's about the 3rd time I've heard that. I've been planning to take my kindergarten age daughter and her friend to see it, but I think I may have to pass now. I heard there were some scary parts?

Alright man, seriously you need to take a road trip to Cleveland for the Broncos game this upcoming season, me and you would have a blast at a bar.

I haven't done karoake, but I add enough entertainment as it is, I'm a lively person when I've been drinking.
