My favotite part was when Mike and Kirk Douglas went to announce the Best Picture of the year: KIRK: It feels good to be 75 again MIKE: You're supposed to say: "And the Oscar goes to--!" KIRK: And the winner is-- (Looks at the winner's name and torns paper in two. Gives a piece to Michael and another to himself) Chicago! I was surprised when Adrien Brody won! BRODY- There are moments on life in which all have sense. This is not one of those moments. That kiss with Halley will be talked of very much. I was dissapointed because my paisana Salma did not won. El Crimen de El Padre Amaro lost to "Hable con ella". Why Almodovar always has to win theses awards? Giorgio Luigi Gambino P.S. Anybody knows why Dustin Hoffman was in the verge of tears before presebnting "The Pianist?"

I think Dustin was moved by Brody's acceptance speech which immediately preceded his appearance. Apple PS - Anyone else notice Barbra Streisand's little dig about how 'artists' should be able to speak their minds, too? I guess she resented having to stick w/ the script.

Neither Pesci, Pacino nor DeNiro (among others) was there in person. Apple

Since films are my reason for living, I was very excited about the Oscars. It has been said before that the Oscars are the filmbuff's Superbowl. Anyway I enjoyed the Oscars. I thought Steve Martin did a nice job hosting, I liked many of the tributes, and there were lots of surprises. Best Documentary: "Bowling For Columbine"- A lot has been said about Michael Moore's acceptance speech. I have not much to add accept that I respect that he has freedom of speech, but that was neither the time nor place to start ranting about the war. Best Cinematography: "Road To Perdition"- I share the exact same feelings that SC shared above: This film deserved this award. And even though Conrad L. Hall died a few monthes back, I'm glad to see another Oscar for him (his son accepted it). Hall has been the cinematographer for many famous films like In Cold Blood, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Cool Hand Luke. Best Song: "Lose Yourself" by Eminem in "8 Mile"- I didn't really like many of the songs up this year. I was still surprised though. Best Supporting Actress: Catherine Zeta-Jones for "Chicago"- I did not see this coming at all. I thought that either Streep or Bates had it. Guess not. Best Supporting Actor: Chris Cooper for "Adaptation"- I saw this coming from the start. Best Actress: Nicole Kidman for "The Hours"- I thought it would either be her or Zellweger. I coldn't make up my mind. Best Actor: Adrien Brody for "The Pianist"- THIS WAS A BIG SHOCKER . I did not see this coming at all! In fact, on an earliar thread I said he was the least likely to win. He must have given a hell of a performance. Now I really want to see this movie. He gave a great acceptance speech imho. Best Director: Roman Polanski for "The Pianist"- Another big shocker. I was positive...POSITIVE that Scorsese had it. Wow, I still can't believe this. But Scorsese is a good man, who doesn't need an Oscar. Polanski (who didn't show) recieved a standing ovation, and do you know who the first person to stand up was? Martin Scorsese. Best Picture: "Chicago"- I knew this would win. That whole 'revival of the movie musical' crap. Although I did have second thoughts when Polanski won Best Director.

Don't judge something unless you see it. Hey Tony-Lemme tell you. that movie was one of those movies that keeps you EN-TER-TAINED, man. It's a "feel-good film" if you know what i mean. And most good musicals are. Its rare to find a really great musical, its either horribly bad, or very good. And Chicago, it was goood. A treat for guys and girls, it was fun to watch, everyone should go see it.

Chicago was not DEFINITELY not crap. please see the movie first then make your judgements. Thanks. Pacino Princess, I didn't say the movie was crap, I didn't mean to imply that anything was 'crap'. I ment it as 'stuff' or 'Jazz'. How about Jazz? That would be more appropriate, wouldn't it? I 'll refrase it for you: "That whole 'revival of the movie music' JAZZ." That's what I ment when I said that. And Anthony, what are you talking about? I said the same thing about Chicago to you on AIM, and as I recall, you agreed with me then.

I was very dissapointed with the Oscars. Martin, Gangs, Daniel Day Lewis, even Road to Perdition. Im sorry but I hated their decisions.
Oh yeah, and what about Moore. What a jackass. This is a film awards show, not a polital debate. These people know that this was not a place to voice their polital opinions. Why stray so far off-topic.
And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

Omar, you're cool in my book, but, man... You get really annoyed if someone as much as just DISAGREES with you. Calm down, bro. It's a message board, people will be bound to disagree and opinions will be exchanged and sometimes debates with occur.
I never agreed that the movie looked like "crap." You said something about the revival of the musical stuff... And I'm not crazy about musicals, so I agreed with that statement. Never agreed about any negativity towards Chicago.
And, PP... I know, it looks so entertaining. My brother said he couldn't take his eyes off the screen! Looks really good.

Your right Anthony, I do get annoyed easily when someone disagrees with me. And I shouldn't. It's not a good way to look at things when your full of pointless anger. I'll try to calm down. You never agreed that the movie looked like crap, and I never intentionally implied that the movie looked like crap. That is not what I was trying to say. But I more than understand the misunderstanding that I myself caused by the choice of words that I used. I shouldn't have used 'crap'. 'Jazz' would have been a better word to use.

Originally posted by Anthony Lombardi: Yeah, I get what you're saying. I'm not really a big musical fan(and as big as I am a music fan, that's a pretty big surprise) but Chicago really does look good. Have you ever seen "Singing in the Rain" ? I used to think that musicals were just wussy stuff. Then I watches SITR. That movie is GREAT. I love it, and I'm not afraid to admit it!
It's all over now, baby blue

I wasn't crazy about the U2 song in the first place but I was surprised about Adrien Brody winning best actor. The awards are always too long. I hope Scorsese gets an Oscar sometime, whether it be a lifetime award.

Well, this was quite a show. Well, there was Michael Moore who made a complete fool of himself and then Eminem winning which was kind of upsetting and Adrien Brody, which was great to watch. That kiss with Halle Berry and that touching speech. I've never really seen him talk that much as he is a lone a lot in The Pianist and he barely talks at all in The Thin Red Line which are, I believe, the only movies I have seen of his. I was also quite pleased and touched with Conrad L. Hall's posthamous awards because Road to Perdition's cintematography was and fantastic, and he was such a great artist. From what I've seen, he and Sam Mended had a great relationship, it's a shame they won't get to collaborate again. The biggest shock for me was probably Roman Polanski winning for The Pianist. I thought "holly crap!" If I were Harrison Ford I probably would have fallen off the stage. I'm not really angry, just shocked. Well, Steve Martin was great, I was a litte dissapointed because I read that Steven Spielberg was going to come and present and after the directort award, I thought that he was gonna get to give out the big one. However, I thought that Kirk and Michael Douglas presenting was really touching, that was great.
Well, certainly an entertaing show. Last year, when the show was over I was depressed and pretty angry. This time was much better for me. Partly because I pretty much gave up this kind of awards idea, but also because it was fun.

I think {The} Hours deserved the Oscar more tan Chicago because I liked it more as a movie and it has better everything, argument, screenplay, performances, etc, but I dont complain in Chicago winning it. It was terrific as well.
