[leemajors]

little miss sunshine.

[Nbadan]

The Departed, but Letters from Iwo Jima may win.

[Nbadan]

can anyone edit this and make it a poll?

[Burn531]

I've only seen Little Miss Sunshine. Rented The Departed today but I haven't watched it yet.

[Melmart1]

I would love to see "Little Miss Sunshine" but something tells me it will be "Babel"

[Slomo]

This will be a poll hold on.

Edit: Done! Vote away! :)

[01Snake]

I'm sure Dan is pulling for Gore.

[Peter]

The most gay movie will win.

[ClintSquint]

Go ahead, make my day.

[SCdac]

Went with The Departed. Solid movie all around. Best of the year imo. I wouldn't mind if Little Miss Sunshine won though - Best Director should then go to Scorsese...

Best Actor will likely be Whitaker, but I'm pulling for O'Toole. He was excellent in Venus. Allan Arkin I hope wins Best Supporting Actor (with Walhberg a close second). Best Original Screenplay should be Pan's Labyrinth. Best Adapted Screenplay hopefully goes to Borat, and Best Cinematography to Children of Men... Best Original Score should have gone to The Fountain (Clint Mansell), but it was left off the ballot :/

[sa_butta]

My pick is The Departed, but I have a feeling it will not win.

[Melmart1]

Isn't there some kind of streak where if a movie wins 'best director' it won't win 'best picture'? Or is that the other way around? I don't recall but if Scorsese wins for 'best director' (as he should) then I am not sure about 'the departed' winning for best picture.

[SA210]

Leonardo DeCaprio was robbed of the nomination for The Departed. Him getting the nomination for Blood Diamond is a way of the letting us know he's not going to get an Oscar and them saying, "but hey, he got nominated for something!". :pctoss

I'm not surprised.

[angel_luv]

Anyone else watching the Oscars?

[mikejones99]

Spurs cheerleaders are more entertaining than 90% of this crap. Tivo makes it a 15 minute must see show.

[kingsfan]

I'm switching back and forth but mostly b/c I like Ellen. I haven't seen any of the movies. Am I missing anything?

:clap Woohoo! One down, a few more to go.

Allan Arkin owns us all.

[angel_luv]

I enjoyed Jack Black and Will Farrel's comedic number.

Also I like the Shadow dancers... did you guys see their interpretation of Happy Feet? So cute!

[Nbadan]

Allan Arkin I hope wins Best Supporting Actor (with Walhberg a close second)

Yeah, I really thought it'd be Walhberg

[SCdac]

I enjoyed Jack Black and Will Farrel's comedic number.

Also I like the Shadow dancers... did you guys see their interpretation of Happy Feet? So cute!

Yeah, that was funny. Man did Farrel have a rowdy fro going on or what? :lol

[mikejones99]

Tinsley to Jermaine, slam dunk

[mikejones99]

Rik Smitz and Badmoon Rison are on pros vs joe's

[angel_luv]

Look how cute! Animated Cars, and Penguins, and kids in the audience for the best animation category!


Yea- Happy Feet won! :)

[Nbadan]

Happy Feet.......animated feature...no big surprise...

[angel_luv]

Yeah, that was funny. Man did Farrel have a rowdy fro going on or what? :lol


I know... before the zoomed in I thought he was Justin Guirani ( spelling?) from the first season of American Idol. :lol

[Nbadan]

monster house, cars and a non-nominated movie, open season, were all good.

[angel_luv]

This is a great segment on writers. :)

[Nbadan]

I thought the Academy would vote Wahlberg, but I really thought Eddie Murphy deserved the best-supporting actor award for Dream Girls, slighty dissapointed.

[SCdac]

Go Borat! Go Borat!

[Nbadan]

best adapted screenplay - The Departed.

Make up for not being Best Movie?

[SCdac]

best adapted screenplay - The Departed.

Make up for not being Best Movie?

Haha hope not.

ps. Wes Anderson/credit card commercial is sweet.

[kingsfan]

I wanted Eddie Murphy to win. http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidepressed.gif
I hope Scorcese wins, he deserves it.

[angel_luv]

Ironic that a costume designer would be wearing such a drab outfit.

[Jekka]

Yeah, but Rachel Weis looked good enough for them both.

I really thought Children of Men had a chance at best Cinematography. That, in my opinion, is what made the movie so great.

Pan's Labyrinth with, what, 3 awards already? Not bad.

[Nbadan]

[angel_luv]

I'm so happy for her!

[Nbadan]

Jennifer Hudson....common...

[angel_luv]

Did you even see the movie? She was excellent in it.

[Nbadan]

Now I know why Murphy didn't win - he was robbed.

[Nbadan]

Did you even see the movie? She was excellent in it.

I agree. but Murphy was equally good....

[Jelly]

Best Foreign Language Film of the Year
Winner: Leben der Anderen, Das (2006)(Germany)

:yawn

(and it kind of bugged me that the guy accepting the award sounded American)

PAN'S LABYRINTH SHOULD HAVE ONE BEST FOREIGN PICTURE!

[angel_luv]

I agree. but Murphy was equally good....


I was super impressed with Murphy. I think he should have won.

[Nbadan]

I was super impressed with Murphy. I think he should have won.

Chew of this, they voted for a guy that died 3/4th through his movie, as opposed to Murphy's role? Common....

[Jelly]

He died halfway through. I've seen it five times.

PLEASE something other than An Inconvenient Truth

There you go...

[Melmart1]

Yeah, but Rachel Weis looked good enough for them both.
Hey Jess.. is Paltrow wearing that one Zac Posen dress we both like? If it isn't the exact one, it is damn close, if memory serves.

[Nbadan]

Letters from Iwo Jima showing a slight bump in the polls

[Melmart1]

all these sound effects with a red 'x' make me think nbadan is insane...

[Jelly]

Like no one ever heard or cared about Global Warming before Al Bore came along.
That doc was so overhyped that none of the other pictures received any attention and I bet NONE of us has even had a chance to see the others in our cinema because An Inconvenient Exaggeration is the only documentary showing. I'm going to hunt out Iraq in Fragments. That looks good. In the meantime....laugh away my friend.

WTF, can they have one awards show without Celine fucking it up? :madrun

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO, Clint The Translator.

[Melmart1]

At least she didn't beat her chest. Or did she? I was trying to stop the blood seeping from my ears...

[Jelly]

Dude, its the Oscars, chill out.

I'm actually pretty chilled and I'm not a dude. You don't get a little sarcasm apparently. Oh well.

[MsMcGillyCutty]

Damn, Clint still is one sexy man!!

[Nbadan]

Damn foreigners! send them back!

I really hope Penelope Cruz beats Helen Mirren. She was great in Volver and I'm tired of hearing about how Mirren is a shoe-in.

Angel, you had to send a text message while the show was on. I didn't know if it would work but sent one anyway. Now I can say I was on The E! Red Carpet. ;)

Ryan Seacrest? Sorry, wrong show...

[Jekka]

Hey Jess.. is Paltrow wearing that one Zac Posen dress we both like? If it isn't the exact one, it is damn close, if memory serves.
:lol It is indeed the one dress. Also, Cate Blanchett is pulling off metallic fabric extremely well. But, she's pretty gorgeous in anything.

[angel_luv]

Yea... Dream girls!!! I love this sound track!

[Sonia_TX]

Jennifer looks great. That red dress is pretty.

[angel_luv]

Wow Beyonce is pretty!

[Sonia_TX]

Yea... Dream girls!!! I love this sound track!

Me too!

[Sonia_TX]

Where's Anika?

[angel_luv]

I'm not digging these arrangements though.

[angel_luv]

"Listen" I like better than the first song.

[Sonia_TX]

Anika wins for best red dress! Beautiful.

[angel_luv]

There she is. :)

I like the original arrangements best. The cast is rocking it though. :)

[angel_luv]

I loved Beyonce's dress. That girl can sing!

I like this song. :)

[Sonia_TX]

Agreed.

[Juice]

damn....Beyonce looks good enough to drive me back to sisters...

[angel_luv]

Choir- oh yeah! :clap

[Melmart1]

:lol It is indeed the one dress. Also, Cate Blanchett is pulling off metallic fabric extremely well. But, she's pretty gorgeous in anything.
Did you see the metallic coat/wing thingy Jennifer Hudson was wearing at the beginning? I am glad she took it off, that thing was horrible!

Oh, and someone needs to tell Nicole Kidman that wearing bows, even if they are on your shoulder and partially hidden... is not cool after about the 3rd grade.

[Jelly]

The music is good, but jeez....all this is going to drag out this ceremony even more than usual. I'm on the East Coast and I'm already getting tired.

[angel_luv]

They win! :)

[angel_luv]

Listen had better win this category.

[Sonia_TX]

Mel, I saw that thing J.Hud was wearing. It was very ugly. My mom said "Doesn't she know she has to get on stage in front of people if she wins?"

[Sonia_TX]

They have 3 noms in this catagory...wow. they have to win one!


Ouch...Melissa Etheridge wins.

[angel_luv]

Are you serious!

Boo!

[Nbadan]

Here we go:

Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song
Winner: An Inconvenient Truth (2006) - Melissa Etheridge("I Need To Wake Up")

[angel_luv]

Was her song really that good or is this a political thing?

[kingsfan]

http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif They lost to Melissa.

[Melmart1]

It's not uncommon for nominees from the same movie within the same category to "cancel each other out". That being said, I don't think that song should have won.

[Nbadan]

It an Ellen conspiracy I tell ya...

[Melmart1]

Mel, I saw that thing J.Hud was wearing. It was very ugly. My mom said "Doesn't she know she has to get on stage in front of people if she wins?"
Yeah, someone must have clued her in... She looks gorgeous without it.

[Jekka]

Oh, and someone needs to tell Nicole Kidman that wearing bows, even if they are on your shoulder and partially hidden... is not cool after about the 3rd grade.
I'm glad she took the coat off, too. It looks like Blanchett's Armani Prive was redone for her, because the runway version is knee-length. Blanchett looks amazing in the full-length version.

Thou shalt not wear tacky animal print on the red carpet.

Though shalt not wear a dress the same color as your hair.

Though shalt get a dress next year with seam allowance to avoid sausage casing.

It must be so fun to compile these clips of movies. What a cool job that'd be.

[Melmart1]

At the beginning I was impressed with the pacing, montages and entertainment. Now I feel like it's just halted...

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I find it ironic a lady that thanked her wife, won for a song named "I need to wake up". "That's all I have to say about that"

Kate Winslet looks amazing in that color.

[Jelly]

LMAO, I didn't even know the Gore movie had a song. What a joke.

The Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack is awesome...and I'm not just talking about the Rick James song. The film is scored by Devotchka and I just downloaded a few of their songs - most from Sunshine. The song "How it Ends" is great. I recommend it to everyone.

[Melmart1]

:lol Shit, they really do. Why did her publicist let her do this to herself?

Kate Winslet looks amazing in that color.
Maybe her stylist is the same person who told John Travolta that Battlefield Earth would be great for his career.

And Kate looks great in everything. Even in a film like Iris where she is made to look 'drab' she is gorgeous.

Yes, several. But, like many women and gay men, I watch the awards for the fashion. I don't care if the Academy likes the movies I liked or not.

This is Ellen's what third wardrobe change?

[Melmart1]

Ohhh, this means Best Actress... Helen Mirren is a shoe-in!

[ShoogarBear]

Meryl Streep should win; she never wins any awards.

[Jelly]

I always like the "who died" montage for some reason.

I don't know if they've shown the Death Montage yet. I lose attention as soon as they start.

[angel_luv]

Go Kate!!!!!! Even though I haven't seen the film.

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, you just missed it.

I don't know if they've shown the Death Montage yet. I lose attention as soon as they start.

Told ya

[Jekka]

Um, would no one hold Mirren's purse for her while she went up to get her award?

[angel_luv]

The other girls are like don't share the Oscar- hand it over! :lol

[Jelly]

Booooooooo.......the Queen.......boooooooo

[Melmart1]

Um, would no one hold Mirren's purse for her while she went up to get her award?
At least she didn't put poor Oscar on the floor. Arkin and someone else did it earlier and I was like.. whoa! I mean, I know it's no Bible or anything, but if I won one I would never put it on the floor.

[angel_luv]

Who are these cheesy behind the scenes hosts???

[Nbadan]

They should take it away and give it to Murphy....

[angel_luv]

They should take it away and give it to Murphy....

Yeah, that totally shocked me. I loved Little Miss Sunshine but Murphy deserved that more than Arkin.

[Jekka]

At least she didn't put poor Oscar on the floor. Arkin and someone else did it earlier and I was like.. whoa! I mean, I know it's no Bible or anything, but if I won one I would never put it on the floor.
This is true.


Ahaha, this is from someone's Oscar blog they are posting from backstage at http://www.insidesocal.com/redcarpet/:
"I want to thank the Academy...

... for showing excellent judgment in leaving Anna Nicole Smith out of the In Memoriam package. Yeah."

[Juice]

Man, if Whitaker doesn't win best actor, I'm rioting.

[Jelly]

Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role

Dan,

One dude earlier did say something like, "there's nowhere to put this thing" after he recieved his Oscar. Really, it wouldn't hurt to have a little table/podium or something. Oh well lol.

[ShoogarBear]

This is true.

Jekka, have you actually seen any of the movies? :nope

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, that totally shocked me. I loved Little Miss Sunshine but Murphy deserved that more than Arkin.Arkin won under the "old guy with not many chances left" rule: see Don Amaeche, Jack Palance, James Coburn.

[Melmart1]

Best Actor... Forreset Whitaker is a shoe-in!

[SCdac]

"Somebody dropped their rolling papers... Oh, it's the band"

:lol

[angel_luv]

Reese's chin looks different, doesn't it?

[SCdac]

Come on Peter O'Toole!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

[ShoogarBear]

Peter O'Toole has an outside chance at winning under the old guy rule, too.

[Melmart1]

Peter O'Toole has an outside chance at winning that way, too.
I was thinking the same thing.

[angel_luv]

I like the Notebook guy.

[angel_luv]

Peter O'Toole looks rather ghost like.

[angel_luv]

No to Leo

[angel_luv]

Alrighty then.

[Jelly]

YaaaaaY!!!!!!!!!

[Nbadan]

Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
Winner: Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland (2006)

[ShoogarBear]

I'll have to see that movie. Forest Whitaker with a Scottish accent.

[SCdac]

Have y'all seen Venus yet? It's very very good. A witty and dark comedy, but still an inspiring drama... It's at the Bijou if interested.

Damn, Whitaker won. I'm sure he deserved it, but I just want to cry for O'Toole now. :/

[Melmart1]

Ok.. hedge your bets for Director... I think Marty finally wins, meaning The Departed won't win Best Picture.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Ghost Dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

East Texas-South Central in da house!!!

[ShoogarBear]

I say Scorcese for Director, Little Miss Sunshine for Picture.

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO, Forest looks hyped. He may go backstage and punch somebody.

[Melmart1]

I say Scorcese for Director, Little Miss Sunshine for Picture.
These are who I WANT to win.. but I have an ugly feeling Babel will win for Picture...

[Juice]

Guess I'll have to wait and riot for something else

[Viva Las Espuelas]

there's a lot of money on that stage right now

[angel_luv]

:lol Poor Lucas hehe

[ShoogarBear]

Ha, Speilberg and Coppola cracking on Lucas.

[Melmart1]

Mary looks like "If I don't win this year, I give up!"

[Melmart1]

Woohoo! Go Marty!

[ShoogarBear]

Jack sporting my look. :smokin

[jackiel1219]

Marty finally wins!!!

[Nbadan]

Best Achievement in Directing
Winner: Martin Scorsese for The Departed (2006

[angel_luv]

I guess no one can feel badly about losing to him. :)

[Melmart1]

If they start playing music to rush him off the stage, I will puke!

[Nbadan]

Damn....Little Miss Sunshine just might win....

[SCdac]

Woot woot! Go Scorsese!

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, if a bomb dropped on the stage, Michael Bay would be in demand.

[atxrocker]

props to Scorsese, it's been a long time coming.

[angel_luv]

He has a seven year old???

[Jelly]

I'll have to see that movie. Forest Whitaker with a Scottish accent.

That's a joke right?

[Nbadan]

Here we go, place your bets...

Still to go:

Best Motion Picture of the Year
Not yet announced

[angel_luv]

I don't like Jack's new look.

[Sonia_TX]

Is this the last award? I should have been in bed an hour ago. :lol

[Jelly]

Damn....Little Miss Sunshine just might win....

No. I'm changing my vote to The Departed.

[Sonia_TX]

I didn't like LMS...

[angel_luv]

I don't have a preference.

[jackiel1219]

The Departed wins

[Sonia_TX]

wtg Jelly...

[Nbadan]

Best Motion Picture of the Year
Winner: The Departed (2006) - Graham King

Wow. I'm psychic :smokin

[SCdac]

Departed Won!!!

Great night.

[atxrocker]

awesome. departed deserved to win.

[ShoogarBear]

I don't like Jack's new look.:depressed

[Jelly]

wtg Jelly...

thanks. :toast

[Sonia_TX]

As Ellen just said "goodnight".

:sleep

[angel_luv]

That was fun.

I am happiest about Jennifer Hudson winning.

[Nbadan]

Well, no bid surprises this year, except for the Murphy loss. I was a little surprised that the Good Shepard didn't make the list of Best Motion pics, but, what are you gonna do?

I still think Murphy deserved the best supporting actor win, its' as if he knew he wasn't gonna win (anyone see tears?)

[ShoogarBear]

It's an honor just to be nominated.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao

[Jelly]

ShoogarBear - I don't know if you were just kidding about the Scottish accent thing. But Forrest plays Edi Amin, the former dictator of Uganda. He had a love for all things Scottish - he even wore kilts on occasion and sometimes referred to himself as the "last king of scotland"

Anyway, it's a fantastic movie, so definitely check it out. Pretty gory though.

[ShoogarBear]

Aye, capn. I dinna know that. So the fillum is not krrrrrrrrap?

[ShoogarBear]

And BTW, it's Idi Amin.

[Jekka]

I don't like Jack's new look.
It's okay, but I miss the wild mess that made him look like a chainsaw murderer. That's the Jack we know and love.

[Jelly]

Aye, capn. I dinna know that. So the fillum is not krrrrrrrrap?

The film is brilliant in my opinion and belonged up there with the others in the Best Film category. Forest Whittiker is unbelievable. He goes from being really charming and lovable to a total monster - like the real Idi Amin. His was the most deserved Oscar I've seen in years. He even learned Swahili for the film. it's a good drama and thriller.....the last 30 minutes are nail-biting.
you gotta see it.

Edit:
You're right it's Idi....so you have seen it?

[ShoogarBear]

No, I haven't seen it yet. And yes, I was joking about the accent.

[Melmart1]

Nice to see I am not the only one who can't detect sarcasm :)

[Jelly]

No, I haven't seen it yet. And yes, I was joking about the accent.

I thought you might be joking. That's why I asked. But if you hadn't heard of the man or the movie I wouldn't be surprised because I know lots of people who haven't.

[leemajors]

Aye, capn. I dinna know that. So the fillum is not krrrrrrrrap?

i hear they take quite a few liberties with actual events, but that whitaker is great. then again from what i was told by someone who grew up in the area showing what really happened would be unwatchable.

[Jelly]

Nice to see I am not the only one who can't detect sarcasm :)

I did detect sarcasm, that's why I asked if he was joking...Twice.

[Jelly]

i hear they take quite a few liberties with actual events, but that whitaker is great. then again from what i was told by someone who grew up in the area showing what really happened would be unwatchable.

Well, the Scottish doctor is completely fictional for one, but most of it's credible. Most things I've read about Amin would be unwatchable though.
