It seemed like every other damn Oscar went to Lord of the Rings... Grrrr

OK ... LORD OF THE RINGS was good. But hell, it was not the best film of the year ... I mean, not even BEST MOTION PICTURE material.

I think it was a great night--yea for LOTR!!!!

By far the worst most boring Oscars I've ever seen. If it doesn't get any better, I'd hardly care if I see another Oscar telecast.

surely this cannot be true, can it?:
Oscar History: First Guy to Thank Boyfriend. Adam Elliot, the director winner of best animated short film "Harvie Krumpet" made Oscar history by thanking his boyfriend in his acceptance speech.
"Actually, it just popped into my head," he said backstage. "It was not something I planned to do, it was just, I've only been going out with him two months."

They need to cut the opening musical number. It hasn't worked in years.
Billy Crystal was not funny. Are there any funny writers left in the world??

I actually always look forward to Billy's opening number and thought it was one of the few highlights of the show. I especially like the montage of him in the different movies. And I have to give props to my man Micahel Moore and his cameo.
Other highlights....
Nicole Kidman completely blowing off Joan Rivers on the red carpet. And she did it with such grace!
Tim Robbins acceptance speech.
Sean Penn's WMD comment.
Trying to figure out where Charlize Theron's eyebrows were.
Oh I fogot one!....looking at Will Smith all night.

Very dull Oscar night as it was a dull year for films. The only part I really liked was seeing Mitch and Mickey sing "A Kiss at the of Rainbow". I knew who was going to win, but my personal choices were:

Short films and documentaries I didn't know enough about to comment.

my only highlight was whenever the camera panned over to nicole kidman she was staring blankly at whoever was talking. it looked like she was trying to burn a hole through the person, or repeating in her head, "shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up."

Aside from Johnny Depp not winning, I enjoyed the telecast. I am amazed that LOTR: ROTK swept, which I have no qualms with as I saw it three times in theatres and believe the trilogy to be the finest ever made, an epic feat.

It was the longest, most boring Oscars ever.
While LOTR was unfairly slighted in past years, did they need to go overboard this year? I thought the TRIPLETS song and the sublime Kiss At The End of the Rainbow were much better songs than the LOTR song.
Every award went where you expected it would. I really wanted Bill Murray to win but I would have been happy to have seen Depp win just to shake things up.
As several film critics noted, any of the women in the supporting actress category were more deserving than Zellweger. Aghdashloo was extraordinary. Harden was terrific. And Zellweger gets it for her Young Granny Clampett routine because last year they gave her CHICAGO Oscar to Kidman for her supporting performance. I liked Zellweger until I saw far too many "sincere" acceptance speeches from her in the past two years. I groaned when I saw her pull the folded piece of paper from her purse.

I guess if you're into LOTR, then it was probably wonderful to see, but it just bored me to tears. I could respect the artistry involved in the making of the films and I really wanted to enjoy them, but it's just not a subject that interests me. The first was ok, the second I fell asleep, the third was an hour too long.

LOTR didnt need/deserve all of them. Makeup? c'mon! that was Pirates and the Caribeean's!

I loved Billy Crystal's opening. I thought this was a really good show. Yes, the awards were predictable, but it's not always about who wins. I had a lot of fun watching it.

i agree that many times it is not about who wins, but this year there were no real "oscar moments." no michael moore tirades, no bjork or lara flynn boyle fashions, no adrian brody-like speeches, no pizzazz!!
