I'm actually disappointed in almost all of the winners this year.
I think the Coen's should've won, but I'm very happy with all of the winners so far!
...this would have made for an interesting ceremony with a couple of 'surprises'.

cruel, your child told me to thank you.
I am so happy for Tina Fey!
I'm so glad for Tina Fey too. She is the only winner in the TV category that deserved the award, IMO. I am still shocked that Michael C. Hall was denied of the award he so deserved for DEXTER.
What is Mad Men anyway? I've never really heard of it, maybe in passing but not memorably.
Michael C Hall. Sigh. That was the only win I really really wanted... oh well. Happy for Atonement and Johnny.
Mad Men's on AMC. It's about New York advertising men in the '50s. I've never seen it, but it pretty much universally topped critics' lists this year.
I just couldn't make myself care about the awards this year, because I can't take anything that comes out of Billy Bush's mouth seriously, but I was definitely less than pleased with a lot of the TV awards, although the movie half was definitely much more to my liking.
I am thrilled beyond belief about ATONEMENT.

So this means that Atonement won't win the Oscar and there is a strong possibility that Sweeney won't be nominated...
Broadway Legend Joined: 10/4/05
wow. So um, basically the only wins I was actually HAPPY about were Johnny Depp and Sweeney Todd!
other than that? I was SO SO pulling for Ellen Page. She's friggin kick. ass. in Juno. It's rather insane
and no wins for Pushing Daisies, OR Lee Pace!?! *sigh* It's okay- Lee will have his moment, because he's amazing and it's only a matter of time before everyone takes notice :)
I'm just so surprised about Juno. It was SUCH a great movie.
and I'm probably not basing this off of anything good enough, but I was rooting for James McAvoy mostly just because I know he was brilliant in Last King of Scottland and so I'm assuming he was probably brilliant in Atonement too :)
But yeah. at least GO JOHNNY AND SWEENEY!! friggin FINALLY Johnny wins a well, well, WELL deserved globe :P Although of course the first time he wins, it's the Globes that don't actually happen and therefore there is no speach. *sigh* His speech would have been so great, too <3
David Duchovny????? Really. I've never seen the show, so I guess I could be wrong, but Alec Baldwin is doing the best work of his career on 30 Rock, and should have won.
And since there won't be a fashion police this year, my thoughts:
Best Dressed: Shaun Robinson
Worst Dressed: Billy Bush, what was up with that collar?
So...I was thinking about Golden Globe/SAG trends, and how often the winners of each (or both) go on to win the Oscar. I've spent the last 20 minutes crunching some rough numbers. And based on the histories of the awards since 1996, the numbers seem as such:
Best Actor
Golden Globe win = 58.3% chance of winning Oscar
SAG win = 72.7% chance of winning Oscar
won both GG and SAG = 50& chance of winning Oscar
won neither = 25% chance of winning Oscar
Best Actress
Golden Globe win = 75% chance of winning Oscar
SAG win = 85.3% chance of winning Oscar
won both GG and SAG = 58.3% chance of winning Oscar
won neither = 0% chance of winning Oscar
Best Supporting Actor
Golden Globe win = 41.6% chance of winning Oscar
SAG win = 41.6% chance of winning Oscar
won both GG and SAG = 16.6% chance of winning Oscar
won neither = 25% chance of winning Oscar
Best Supporting Actress
Golden Globe win = 58.3% chance of winning Oscar
SAG win = 58.3 % chance of winning Oscar
won both GG and SAG = 41.6% chance of winning Oscar
won neither = 25% chance of winning Oscar
Best Picture
Golden Globe win for Drama = 50% chance of winning Oscar
Golden Globe win for Comedy = 16.6% chance of winning Oscar
Golden Globe and SAG win = 33.3% chance of winning Oscar
won neither = 25% chance of winning
Hm.

A film that doesn't win the SAG or Golden Globe has a better chance than a film that wins Best Comedy?
It's really sad that the Oscars don't acknowledge comedies more. I wish there was a seperate category like the Golden Globes. Comedies/musicals deserve more love.
Based on the last 10-12 years, yes.
It should be noted that SAG doesn't have an award for best picture, but an award for best cast.

Why, sesot? A good film is a good film, regardless of it's genre. Some very extraordinary comedies have been recognized by the academy.
i'm sooo disappointed that Atonement won, completely undeserved imo especially considering No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood.
Can't wait to see "Atonement," and I've talked to enough people out here to believe that it truly is the front-runner to win the Oscar. And that makes me happy, actually! It's "my kind of film" (okay, I say that from seeing the trailer only personally, but still... that's enough to know the flavor.)
I haven't seen Diving Bell... but in a way I'm glad the Coen's didn't take it as "best" of the year for direction. I really think they had a weak/confusing/badly directed ending to their film. And that should definitely count against them.
P.S.---Why do so MANY films of the past couple of years have serious trouble with their endings? A cut to black, once the major plot is done, is NOT an ending. It's a clumsy cut-off. Quit being afraid to end your stories gracefully (which isn't easy at all, BTW), with actual codas and afterthought and assessment... but an ambiguous "artsy," abrupt ending is pretty easy to do, and SO often a cop-out. I'm tired of them, truly. I don't need to "think" about your ethereal ending. You chose to be vague because you didn't know what else to do. It's a cheap trick. Stop it.
I'm pleasantly surprised about Sweeney for Best Pic, especially against Juno (which I ALSO haven't seen yet). But so many are talking "Juno" for an Oscar nom, and add to it the "sleeper" success at the B.O. I thought it had it in the bag. Not so.
I'm so thrilled that Marion C won for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy. Interesting how she was put in that category since it's neither a musical or a comedy.
Best Actress at The Oscars will be between Marion & Julie C. I personally want Marion to win. She was beyond extraordinary. One of the finest performances ever put on film.
I guess it would be okay if ATONEMENT took the Oscar home. As I said in another thread, I was in heaven for the first part of the film, then bored out of my mind in the Robbie-centered section, then back in glorious heaven when that part was over.
Oh, and I'm quite sad that Romola Garai isn't getting more award love. Hers and Saoirse Ronan's performance were the ones that stood out the most for me in the film, probably because Briony is such a brilliantly-written role.
I am happy that SWEENEY won but I'm pretty sure we'll have a case of what happened last year when DREAMGIRLS won over LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE. The former got snubbed by the Academy and SUNSHINE was the nominated film. This time is JUNO v. SWEENEY.
