Then again, I haven't watched since Haley Joel Osment lost to Michael Caine in '00. I don't think previous work should be considered for yearly awards.

I was also shocked when Eric out-predicted Chris, too, but that's a different picture altogether. (Let's make that "shocked and apalled," shall we?)

PotC: Dead Man's Chest is the only one on there I've seen, and I sure wouldn't have given that movie any awards. Guess I'm just not a fan of Oscar bait. I look forward to surfing the webs for pictures of celebs wearing stupid stuff to the Oscars, because that's the best part of the Oscars right there.

I mean, I guess they got most of the awards right but how did Eddie Murphy lose to Alan Arkin? Everyone agrees that Eddie Murphy was amazing in Dreamgirls. His singing, dancing, acting, and humor was awesome. Alan Arkin was pretty good, but it was such a small role. How many lines did he have in the whole movie? How did one of the Dreamgirls songs not win? Do they have to always make political statements? As for Pan's Labyrnith, I didn't see "The Lives of Others", but I would be shocked if it was better.

Ellen did a great job. It was paced well. People won. F Whitaker's speech was moving and creepy all at the same time. I also liked how Beyonce was outsung by her co-stars. Very entertaining.

This guy is an Italian national treasure--and a genius to boot. The music from "The Mission" is definitely one of the greatest soundtracks of ALL TIME and Morriconi deserves the accolades. Except for the Will Farrell song, Ennio and the In Memorium thing they do every year, the rest of the show bit it--HARD. Sucked, pretty much...sadly.
