2005 Academy Awards
Kirbo:
Hell no. But come on, I really liked Transamerica, but the song just didn't work for me. In the Deep is my favorite of the three, but I can understand why It's Hard out here for a Pimp won.
I Am Not Amused:
I dunno, I didn't really enjoy the academy awards. The politics of the academy ran rampant that night.
Ang Lee won best director because Brokeback wasn't going to win best picture.
George Clooney won best supporting actor because GNGL wasn't going to win anything else.
Reese Witherspoon won best actress because Walk The Line wasn't going to get anything else.
Memiors of a Geisha won best cinematography over GNGL because it wouldn't win any other awards.
*shrugs*
Maybe I'm too cynical, but it seems like, every year, the academy tries to give one award to each of the movies it liked, regardless of whether or not the individuals in that group, or movie in that category, deserved it.
Kirbo:
Ang Lee won best director because he was the best director
Georgre Clooney was the lead in Syriana, so yeah...the best supporting actor thing confuses me, but in terms of what he went through for the movie, and how well he did in the roll, he did deserve it, even if I thought Matt Dillon was better.
Reese Witherspoon won......I got nothing, I agree 100%.
Haven't seen Memiors, so I have no frame of reference, but GN&GL looked damned cool, so I'm going to agree here too.
nescience:
Seeing Memoirs win all those visual awards and watching all those middle-aged white people come up to accept their awards and talk about the "enchantment" of the story and "the beauty of Arthur's vision" ... it was really awesome!!
ARTHUR GOLDEN HAS THE FET!!!!

thank you, kirbo. election was very good, but i find her quite annoying now. i've tried to like her newer movies because i liked her in election, but she's just not a great actress. i know the point of legally blonde was to overdo it, but they could have overdone it in a better fashion, making it easier to watch.
