Oscars '07

All I want from this year's Oscars: -Jesus Camp to win best Doc. (So not going to happen) -Scorsese to win best Director (Totally going to happen) -Pan's Labyrinth to win best foreign film and art direction (fingers crossed.) -Little Miss Sunshine to win something.

If I was betting: Departed - best picture and director Queen - best actress Last King of Scotland - best actor Dreamgirls - best supporting actress and actor

I'd love for Forrest Whittaker to win it, but Peter O'Toole must have a hell of a speech planned.

I thought peter otoole was going to shoot Forester Whitaker.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-02-26 03:35:38 +0000

That woulda ruled.

Excellent point Epoisses, but alas no speech from Mr. O'Toole. I'm laughing still just thinking about it.

O'Toole was visibly upset.

Not bad guesses, CC.

Just noticed Errol Morris in the credits... did they replay his montage from 2002 or was there something new?

New piece with 3 to 6 second clips of most of this year's nominees all in front of a huge white backdrop.

I was going to suggest starting a countdown, but I'd feel guilty later.

Tried to find it last night online, no luck. Thought is was interesting that both Best Actor awards went to performances depicting real people.

Again -- last year it was Phillip Seymour Hoffman for Capote and Reese Witherspoon for Walk The Line. the year before that, of course, Cheadle was robbed and Jamie Foxx won it for Ray.

I guess if you wanna win an Oscar now, you gotta do an impersonation of a famous person.

Posted by Miriam on 2007-02-26 19:36:45 +0000

A really good impersonation of a famous person.

Saw "Pan's Labyrinth" last night. Good stuff. Suprisingly deeper than I thought it was going to be.

Haven't seen 'Lives of Others', but it's hard to imagine a better film of '06.
