    Oscars

    I thought that the right nominees pretty much one. The Departed for Best Picture, Scorsese for Directing,etc. But I thought Pans Labyrinth was robbed for Best Foreign Film. That was a great and powerful film. And I'd have liked to see Peter O' Toole win for Best Actor, But I think Forest Whitaker was the best choice. Any other comments?

    yeah forest whitaker got a bafta too for his role in the alst king of scotland, he's a way underated actor and he's got some major talent, too bad about pans labyrinth but the departed?, best picture?, bloody hell fire there was so many better films to choose from, children of men should have got it in my opinion.

    I think Ridley Scotts the Duellists should have won best picture this year.

    The Departed is the best Crime movie since Goodfellas. That was one movie where i didn't mind if it was 3 hours long. it takes a brilliant film to do that. Usually in most movies I'm ready to get it over with and make my verdict on if it sucked or not. lol

    lol. yeah right. like the Oscars would ever recognize a horror movie. silly... I do hate how biased the Oscars are against Comedies and Horror films. Its always lame movies about a crack headed lesbian nazi hooker ubducted by aliens and forced into a weigh-loss program or some ****. lol

    I was just pissed that I had to stay up until 12:15 in the morning to see Scorsese win the award that he should've received many, many years ago.

    I was also really dissapointed with "Children of Men" not winning for Best Cinematography.

    Next year i'm just going to record the Oscars so I can watch them the next day and fast forward through all the garbage. More than four hours for ANY awards ceremony is ridiculous....

    I never watch the Oscars because I think it's a load of cheesy, overblown, up-it's-own-arse tripe. Nothing I want to win ever wins so I've decided that it's pointless to even bother with it.

    How can we take the Oscars seriously when they give awards to dingbats like Al Gore for his wonderfully ficticious movie full of more bullsh*t than a field of cows?

    I was, however, very pleased to hear that Scorsese got his award... finally. If you're gonna give an award to someone, make sure they deserve it - and he was one that deserved it.

    Reminds me a bit of Joe Satriani and the Grammy's. He's been nominated 14 times and hasn't won once.

    FFS! How many times can they use this tired old story!!!!!!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    How could you ignore the fact that we are destroying the Earth and this man is trying to prevent it? Thats pretty rediculous to try and say that Global Warming is just the creation of Al Gore's mind.

    I'm not ignoring it, but I refuse to be fed made up facts by Gore and accept them as the truth.

    They are truth. He has scientists and data to back up his claims. Remember you don't have to be right as long as you argue correctly. He argued correctly and won himself an Oscar.
