Yeah, I agree, this was a sub-par year -at least in terms of the quality of the actual Oscars telecast. I think Jon Stewart did a better job hosting than Chris Rock or David Letterman (and the intro showing all the previous hosts declining the job was really funny); however, Jon wasn't quite at the top of his game. The material was a bit watered down for safety. And the audience had a collective stick up its ass. So even some of the good jokes fell flat.
While the group of honored films had a collectively more political tone, they all sort of had a blah kind of feel as well. It sure wasn't a Titanic versus L.A. Confidential kind of thing.
Most of the results on Oscar winners were extremely predictable. When the Oscars are preceeded by the DGA awards, SAG awards and other ceremonies by the time the Oscars roll around you already know who is going to win.
However, I was pretty surprised Crash took the Best Picture honor instead of Brokeback Mountain.
It was pretty funny when the rap group (whoever they were, I forget) won the Best Song Oscar. They're rappers. They talk fast. They rhyme. But dammit, their acceptance speech was gibberish. Just unintelligible rambling with marbles in the mouths.
quote: Joe Redifer When that John Woo guy won for best director I couldn't believe it. That guy has never made a good movie.
I'm not a big Ang Lee fan. But he's a damned sight better than John Woo. I don't get the fascination with the whole John Woo action movie style. Just my opinion, but I think it's bullshit filmmaking. Calling Ang Lee a name like John Woo is quite the put down! Hehe.
