Final Verdict on the Oscars — Page 2

I loved the opening and the song with Jack Black and Will Ferrell. I also loved the Triplets of Belleville performance. There was so good stuff. I thought it went by pretty quickly.

That was probably the worst Oscars I've ever seen. Every award went to LOTR, and the jokes just weren't funny.
If the Oscar is shared, then both people should be able to thank someone. There was this one guy who hogged all of the 90 seconds and more, so the other guy couldn't thank people. Also, the acceptance speeches for the smaller awards were too long.

The best part of the whole night was the Jack Black/Will Ferrel song. That was funny, because the speeches are boring.


I think I have to go see LOTR now- if it ties with Titanic and Ben Hur, then it must be good.

RobbO - I noticed the same thing. A little cropping malfunction with the screens onstage.

"I think I have to go see LOTR now- if it ties with Titanic and Ben Hur, then it must be good."

And CATS is the Best Musical of all-time.

I'm afraid I have to disagree.

While LotR deserved Picture, Director, and Visual Effects, it did NOT deserve the following awards

Best Cinematography (awarded to M&C): Girl w/ a Pearl Earring
Best Costumes: Girl with a Pearl Earring
Best Editing: Cold Mountain
Best Adapted Screenplay: American Splendor
Best Art/Set Direction: Girl with a Pearl Earring
Best Original Score: Big Fish or Cold Mountain

I don't think that anyone would disagree that Pearl Earring, Down with Love, and Kill Bill were the best-looking films of the year. Surprisingly, one one of the three films I just named were nominated. That's why the Academy sucks.

PS - Bill Murray should have won.

It was shorter than normal ( time wise ) but it seemed like an eternity

I wanted there to be some more surprises.. So happy Renee Zelleweger won, she was brilliant. Wish Cold Mountain was up for more..

(was i the only one who didnt really think there was anything special about Johnny Depp in Pirates?!)

Watching the oscars with no real chance of anyone else winning besides LOTR & with no tacky production number was like watching paint dry . No the latter would be more exciting

I loove LOTR and while I'm very happy that it won all those awards I think the whole event was very predictable and boring! I def think LOTR deserved everything it won though!! It's an incredible movie!
