Re: Oscars are over.

Okay. #1 best thing:

They used a jazzed-up version of the theme from The Terminator - yes, starring ARNOLD - as the musical theme for the show.

WTF?!?!?!!?!?!!!!!! ...Awesome choice!

Re: Oscars are over.

I wish computer generated animation and traditional animation had their own separate catagories.

Re: Oscars are over.

That'd be awesome. Then Ghost in the Shell 2 would've been nominated.

No Dawn of the Dead?

What IDIOTS.

Re: Oscars are over.

No no, it's pronounced SHAWN of the dead.

There was plenty of computer generated animation in Innocence; it was a fusion. The dichtomy could be rendered "animation with heart and roots" and "exclusively-3D tomfoolery designed to make money"!

Does anyone actually have any desire to see Million Dollar Baby?

I don't.

Re: Oscars are over.

more than I do to see Aviator, but that's not really saying much.

[Magus]

Re: Oscars are over.

I saw it. It was good. I preferred Sideways but since that had no chance, out of all the other nominees it probably deserved to win.

But since Million Dollar Baby doesn't involve Brits beating up zombies to Queen songs or mad doctors with metal octopus limbs I can't love it.

[highwind]

Re: Oscars are over.

I thought Sideways was pretty MEH.

And you'd have to pay me to watch The Aviator.

I read something about it in regards to the story (spoiler type stuff) and was disgusted. I won't be watching it, ever.

I don't go to the movies much anymore, but I do rent stuff. None of the "award winning" movies look very interesting to me.

Re: Oscars are over.

Well, you can't have a Lord of the Rings film EVERY year.
