Oscar Moments -
Best of all was the all surviving best actors and actresses, along with supporting and honnoraries... so beautiful to see all of them together. How well those divas of the Golden Age have survived, and so beautiful are they - even in silver. And the actors of the age - so wonderful all those great actors there side by side. So amazing. Olivia de Havilland is still so beautiful, though now she is a Matron, not the beautiful young woman she was when she won for "The Heiress" in 1949. Jack with his big three, looking cool as ever, even though he didnt get the fourth one tonight. Louise Rhiner - the Great Zigfield and The Good Earth, still alive! (Props for mention of Judgment at Nuremberg ! )
Best picture:
Chicago - Winner
Gangs of New York
The Hours
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The Pianist
So wonderful to see Michael and Kurt Douglass on stage together, and Kurt still with his wonderful sense of humor, making fun of his own speach problems. We all know what I was rooting for, right? Good.
I LOVE the presentation of the winners name. Ripping the card in half, each taking half, reading, and then yelling "CHICAGO!"
I guess this means that I have to see it now. Damn.
Best Actor: Love the montage... so many great film moments -
Adrien Brody, The Pianist - Winner
Nicolas Cage, Adaptation
Michael Caine, The Quiet American
Daniel Day-Lewis, Gangs of New York
Jack Nicholson, About Schmidt
Haven't seen the movie... but, going against so many experienced, talented actors, especially Jack...and had the cahones to dip kiss Hally Berry... "Woah, bet they didnt tell you that was in the gift bag..."
"There comes a time in life where everything seems to make sense... this is not one of those times."
"If it werent for the insomina and sudden pannic attacks, this would have been an amazing journey."
And he actually yelled down the orcastra to talk about the war... and actually said the least offensive anti-war sentament during the night. "A peaceful and swift resolution." Considering what the movie was about, it was the best he could do, I think. But he should remember - "If you wrong us, do we not revenge?" Enough fucking political polarization, please.
Best Actress - Love the montage begining with Fargo! Such a reminder of all the wonderful females who have graced the screen... Beauty and power and emotion and most of all pride.
Salma Hayek, Frida
Nicole Kidman, The Hours - Winner
Diane Lane, Unfaithful
Julianne Moore, Far From Heaven
Renee Zellweger, Chicago
Such a hard one this year - Jullian Moore is by far my favorite, but just for how beautiful she is. But Nicole Kidman.. she has done so much and not been rewarded... Thank god she won it for The Hours instead of that trash she was nominated for last year. The crying into the statue with that back turned.. nice! She has come so far since Dead Calm!
Best Director -
Rob Marshall, Chicago
Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York
Stephen Daldry, The Hours
Roman Polanski, The Pianist
Pedro Almodóvar, Talk to Her
Nothing here I was really rooting for - rooting against Gangs of New York, on principle. Really glad to see Roman Polanski win it, after all the wonderful things said about his work on the movie The Pianist.
Humor:
"And now to introduce someone I consider a close personal fantasy, Julia Roberts."
"It was so sweet backstage, you should have seen it, the Teamsters were helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo."
"Later, we will do a montage of people you think are dead, but aren't."- Steve Martin
"Every time an Oscar is awarded, an agent gets his wings."
to the Oscar statue - "This is his ass, these are my lips." *kisses statue's ass*
-Kathy Bates
"Always a bride's maid, never a bride - my foot! I have my very own Oscar till to death do us part."
- Peter O'Toole
Peter O'Toole - Honorary Oscar - Fucking AWSOME. One of the best Hamlet's ever, best of all the Shakesperian Kings, every one he played - And my favorite, Lawrence of Arabia
"They come in a world of iron, to make a world of bone..."
Passed over too many damned times - Finally he gets what he should have had from day one! So beautiful and moving a speach, without having lost a sense of humor.
Best Original Song:
As much as I hated "The Gangs of New York," U2 did a beautiful job with "The Hands that Built America." The song is a much more noble sentament than the movie was, and its a shame it will be forever associated with it.
"Oh my love / It's a long way we've come / From the freckled hills / To the steel and glass canyons..."
Lose Yourself is a powerful song, and I'm so damned glad it won. He deserved it, for all the power in the lyrics, the emotion and the strife he has lived through. A breakthrough win if there ever was one, in my opinion.
On Chicago and LOTR:TT
Its a shame that LOTR: TT was up against Chicago in nearly every category. It shouldn't have been alowed, and it robbed LOTR:TT of allot of the spotlight it deserved, and likewise, LOTR:TT stole allot of attention from Chicago. I am, however, a bit conserned that Best Adaptation didnt consider LOTR this year, but The Pianist was based on a damned powerful story.
The END
Steve Martin: "We have finally reached the half way mark!" Pause "There are so many people I would like to thank, namely Steven Spielberg, why, because it couldn't hurt!"
