Response to Fiesty Gourmet's comments: The actor's name was Alan Arkin not Alda. Personally, I think that award should have gone to Eddie Murphey for "Dreamgirls" instead of Arkin! "Blood Diamond was a piece of horrific CRAP!!!! Leo DiCaprio speaking in a South African accent and ACTUALLY getting nominated for that award for best actor instead of getting a nod for his BRILLIANT work in "The Departed"?!?!?!? WTF, MAN?!?!?!?
How dare Brokeback Mountain didn't win a single oscar. Instead it lost to a movie about 30 something people getting sexual pleasure from car accidents. And why the hell did Enchanted get nominated for an oscar, that movie was an overhyped movie with the over hyped actress Amy Adams, Enchanted wasn't bad movie, it was just badly made, the chemistry between Patrick and Amy's characters just wasn't there and it was overhyped
When Alan Alda won for Little Miss Sunshine over Dijmon Hounsou for Blood Diamond. Horrible misjustice!
Shakespeare in Love?? You've got to be kidding.
Moulon Rouge even being nominated.
Daniel Day Lewis not winning for Gangs of New York. they tried to make up for with There Will Be Blood, but his performance was not as good as Gangs.

Yeah, it's an an awards show. The entire idea of it jumped the shark when you can go to your local video rental store, and pick up "The Academy Award-winning movie" about a week after the show airs...with the attendant hype in full force. The last time I sat in a movie theater was in 2005: noisy teenagers yakking on cellphones and taking calls DURING the movie prevailed. With DVD releases coming out mere months after airing in the theaters, why should I bother paying top dollar to sit in a seat (obligatory chewing gum stuck to my arm), while some idiot teen is text-messaging and/or talking to someone on the phone? You couldn't drag me back...As for the movies themselves, Hollywood is so frightened of making a film that's "off the beaten path" or that's not politically correct, that they've kind of trapped themselves. No wonder cinemas are taking it on the chin.
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.
