Got Oscar Fever?

*Yeah, that's about the same thing I was meaning, only I don't think it's a masterpiece as a whole... not all the actors are that good (the one playing Frodo for example), and most of all the story itself is a bit tired... seeing the film, or reading the book, it's just like listening to those prog rock concept triple albums... LOTR is the Genesis/Yes/ELP of the movies/books... no good for us poonks! :D

I was sad that Bill Murray didn't win, because I just love him. I've not seen even ONE of the LOTR movies. They look as boring as hell... actually, I TRIED and lost interest with the first one. Is that weird of me?? I liked Lost in Translation, for Bill Murray especially... but I couldn't rate it against the other movies, as I don't watch many, and couldn't pit it against the others for that reason.

Looked to me that ol' Bill was a bit disappointed that he didn't win, but I guess that Sean Penn was terrific in his move (sorry, I didn't see it).

Kind of a boring show, I didn't watch the whole thing, but there was an interesting moment before the show, when Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were talking to the female ABC correspondent (sorry, don't remember her name), and Owen asked her if her breasts were real. She was taken aback, and ABC went to a commercial very shortly afterward. With the five second delay, I guess that's about as much controversy as we could expect.

Dammit, I love Owen Wilson and I missed that!

The correspondent was some nice piece of ass they brought in for "Entertainment Tonight" to counter Mary Hart's slide into plastic-surgery malfunctions (at least I hope that's plastic-surgery to blame, God help her if it's natural), and I must say she's not bad for the ole eyesight

But they are probably fake (just like everything else on ET)

I always wonder (considering that Owen is always writing great films with Wes Anderson) if he does some of the movies he does simply to get money for the good stuff. That's what I'd like to think was behind his being in "The Haunting" anyways

Okay, found a pic of said correspondent, just imagine Owen staring at them, and then asking that question........

Judge for yourself

Are you sure he was not talking about the diamonds?

I'd still do her, don't get me wrong...

And what about CITY OF GOD ? Did you watched this movie ??

Too bad it got shut out. I rather liked it.

I still think Belleville shoulda got best animation and definitely best song, watching the audience reaction on Oscar night convinced me not many academy voters had seen it, the just looked like people hearing something for the first time

Another proud product from Quebec :D

Well I cant disagree, I aint seen the Barbarian Invasions yet, but will be doing, quite like Quebec though I've spent more time in Montreal ( 78/79 , 3 visits ) used to use a pub called the Irish Lancer, dont know if it's still there and a dodgy nightclub called Shed 20 or Shed 25, near the docks. Hope to visit the Comedy festival next year ,with Mrs garymac and then have a week or so in Quebec.
