Well, the oscars are tonight. I usually don't watch it, but i think i might because Jon Stewart is the host tonight. He's awesome. It's on tonight at 8pm EST on ABC.

It looks like Brokeback Mountain will win alot of awards. Also, does anyone here think that Howls Moving Castle has any chance of winning? If it did, what would that mean? It's up against Tim Burton and Wallace & Gromit.

What do you think? will you watch it? Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Who doesn't have a chance in hell of winning??

[color=darkblue][size=1]There's been a lot of debate whether or not Howl's stands a chance against Wallace & Gromit due to the outcome of this year's Annie Awards (Howl's was completely shut out by W&G). Since the Annies are somwehat of a preview of what will happen at the Oscars, Howl's outlook is pretty dark, but Miyazaki films are always fighters, so we'll just have to wait and see.[/color][/size]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Sienna]I'm interested in which film will take Best Picture. Personally, I'm pulling for Crash, simply because, A) it's a fantastic emotional roller-coaster of a movie, and, B) it's directed by a Canadian. I've never seen Brokeback Mountain but I get the impression its going to be a competetor... oh well, GO CRASH![/COLOR][/FONT]

Ahem, I've been following the Oscars ever since the LOTR movies came out. XD I remember watching it when the first LOTR movie was up against A Beautiful Mind. A Beautiful Mind won all the oscars in the major categories! XDDD I was soooo angry that I kept throwing my pink fluffy shoes at the telly and refused watching A Beautiful Mind for a loooong time!

Some people were complaining about how the Oscars were done this year, the show. But I thought it was decent and to the points, without being too long. I got up at 2.30 am last night and went back to bed at 5.30 am because of the time differences.

Well it was well-spread out this year. King Kong, Memoirs of a Geisha, Crash and Brokeback Mountain all got three Oscars. I'm really glad Memoirs won that much because visually, it's still a stunning movie (Did I mention Zhiyi was one of the prettiest girls that evening? ^.^ And Michelle Williams!). Everyone is also complaining that Crash didn't deserve to get best picture, but I'm actually kind of glad it did! I prefered Brokeback above anything else obviously, but I'm just glad Munich or Good Night Good Luck didn't get it. I saw Munich and disliked it quite a bit, and GNGL just didn't appeal to me. So I'm glad it became Crash in the end, altho Capote would've earned my respect as well.

Most memorable speeches. Apparently George Clooney's was amazing, but I somehow unknowingly missed out on that one! So I have to say the director or Totsi for best Foreign Movie and the Honory Award.

I thought Jack Nichelson was kidding when he said Crash! I really did, he said it so strangely! O.o
