Eddie Murphy was ROBBED last year. He deserved it over Alan Arkin.

I agree with Val.

I'm sure i've harped on it before but I have no problem doing so again- Shawshank Redemption was a great movie, the movie that beat it, Forrest Gump, was crap.
Agreed. Oz over a movie i wouldn't sit through.
i'm fine with either one.
yup.
yes, though Ryan itself wasn't that agreat a movie to me, just the best one that year.
disagree entirely, silence of the lambs deserved it.
never saw pelham.
never saw either movie.
they should shoot Fonda, not the horses. Norton was great in Primal Fear, who did he lose to?
its amazing i didnt think of castaway when i saw i am legend, hanks was better at being the entire movie.

Pelham is an excellent movie. But the academy oft looks for transcendent themes and One Flew had them while Pelham didn't really.
Huh?

Norton lost to Cuba Gooding, Jr (in Jerry Maguire)

The musical numbers this year suck. 3 songs from Enchanted? Is that even a real movie?
|

Marion Cotillard wins Best Actress.

I totally had her in my Oscar pool. Not.

Yes, for 'Into the Wild', and it wasn't even nominated for soundtrack.

Four acting Oscars and best song went to Europeans.

Yeah it was hard to believe that songs from"Into The Wild" were not nominated, still I have no problem with "Falling Slowly" winning.
|

I noticed that also -- that Vedder album was very good. You'd think they could have squeezed one of the Enchanted songs -- two of which were the same anyway -- and given him a shot.

Hell even at the "Brit Awards" this many Brits didn't win awards. Six Oscars going to British nominees.

I'm not a big movie guy, but "Taking of Pelham One Two Three" is one of my all-time favorites, Bonus points for being set in the Homeland.

Was she wearing a Hefty bag? Seriously - what was with that dress?

I really enjoyed the scene where the apartment was getting cleaned up.

Sadly, "getting dressed" isn't one of them.
