Where to even begin! When Bob Hope left. When "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" won. When Uma Thurman didn't. When Michael Moore appeared. When Marlon Brando didn't. This show has had so many jumps it should be at Sea World.
THe Academy Awards are a complete joke. They show what complete sheep people are. The movies that win are always the most obscure or foreign films. It seems so strange that the movies that come out closest to that show's airtime get the awards (cough) Titanic! Also, people are so pathetic that words like Titanic and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon become catch phrases for the next year. I boycotted it after Titanic when I learned that movies need to have at least a 2 and a half hour run time, need to be a love story, need to have some flavor of the month on them, and need to be incredibly boring. Now "Academy Award Winning" keeps me from renting movies!
Johnny Depp - please. He's the most "overrated underrated" actor ever. And Tim Burton is the most overrated underrated director ever. So JD is an eccentric, that means he is one of our great actors? I don't think so. People who like him are stuck in the 90s and probably think David Lynch is a "genius." Gag me.
Johnny Depp lost for Sweeney Todd this year.
That's about all I have to say. Besides the fact that it obviously pisses me the hell off.
Why do people watch awards shows? Do they enjoy it when surgically enhanced people parade around in outfits that cost what takes them a year to earn? do they enjoy inane pre-show red carpet banter? Are they insomniacs who are afraid of getting hooked on sleeping pills? I just don't get it.
It looks like A LOT of people shared my Opinion about the Acadamy Awards this year. According to A.C.Neilson the Ratings for this event were THE LOWEST EVER!. Obscure Movies and Foreign Stars are considered the biggest factors.
Back in 2003, the oscars proved that you can be recognized and rewarded by them even if you have no talent whatsoever when Emenim won...
It just jumped when all 3 songs that were nominated from the film, "Enchanted", didn't win one for "Best Original Song". Both Alan Menkin and Stephen Schwartz did a great job and they could of earned an Oscar.

It's a travesty, even Amy Adams deserves better. Being nervous at stage all alone, she was amazing but she could of also sang "That's How You Know" instead of Kristen Chenoweth.

Plus, "The Golden Compass" winning for "Best Visual Effects", over "Transformers"? While it may not better than the cartoon, at least that movie had better special effects than "Compass"! Either way, I've seen worse mistakes at the Oscars.
Love how the writer's strike ended right before this used-to-be-fun-but-is-now-annoying-to-watch gathering of the world's biggest narcissists.
Wtf julie christie didn't win???? This show is a fraud!!!

Halle Berry. What was that about her acting like she was the first black person to win an award for acting in a movie? :| She made "Catwoman" after "Monster's Ball", right? Hmmmm.. yeah.
I liked Titanic. For the cinematography. The story was total crap and based on that the only awards it deserved to win were ones not involving the actors.
I know I posted already, but I almost forgot how p***** I was a couple years back when Crash (one of the most over-rated movies of the last 10 years) beat Brokeback Mountain. And yes Kathie I totally agree with you that the dreaded Hollywood Scientologists bought this award. <shudder>
Crash winning at number 10? Number one, forever! The day the Scientologists bought the Oscars was the day the (earth stood still? sky rained blood?) Oscars became a total joke. WORST MOVIE EVER.
