R. Rich Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ever since they screwed Spielberg for The Color Purple, then really jobbed Denzel Washington for Malcolm X, they've had zero credibility for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think ALL awards shows are useless and are nothing more than celebrity circle-jerks, but you're right, Denzel was totally hosed for Malcolm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 Oh wait, I forgot another all-time Oscar screw job: Ordinary People was Best Picture in 1980, but Raging Bull is hailed as the best film of the 1980s????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Let's not forget Coppola losing to bob Fosse as best director (Godfather vs. Cabaret). Yuck! Then they ignored Paul Giamtti this year in Sideways. Polar Express isn't up for best anaimated film. What is up with the Academy? It's a joke. They love to pat themselves on the back and congratulate themsleves on how important and great they are. I watch just to see how stupid the celebrities are.

Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too !@#$in' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, !@#$ YOU TOO! Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a !@#$in' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. breasts. Hoo-hah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: kitty. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son?

sweet baboo Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I don't bother to watch the Oscars because it is a huge joke and like someone mentioned above, one huge celebrity circle jerk Denzel got robbed for Malcolm X, but he sure as hell didn't deserve it for Training Day the credibility of that retarded show is incredibly low for me already but if Don Cheadle doesn't win best actor this year, I'm completely through with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Didn't see it. Was it any good? 253343[/snapback] GalaxyQuest was hysterical. Yeah, the plot scheme has been used a few times wherein someone from one culture sees someone from another culture out of context, and then needs them to save the day. Think "Three Amigos" where the girl sees a movie of the Three Amigos and assumes they're real, while the amigos think they're going to a gig. In this case, the cast of Galaxyquest (a cancelled Star Trek like TV show) is viewed by aliens in trouble, and the aliens believe the cast is real, so they bring them to their planet. The cast is under the impression they're going to an autograph signing or some such engagement. The best part was when they arrived at what turns out to be an actual working replica of their show's "Enterprise" type spaceship...and the aliens are waiting for them to go into action. But Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Richman, Tony Shalhoub. Thumbs up for shitzngiggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet they'd keep getting another chance. I still see the old woman in the chair watching TV yelling "They blew up Congress!!"

aussiew Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 One day, Johnny Depp will get his. Unfortunately, probably not. He doesn't suck up to the Hollywood crowd. I recently watched "Secret Window" 4 times over a 7 day period. He gave an amazing and under-appreciated performance in that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
