All my picks were 100% correctamundo, though, trust me....Is there a prize? I was very happy that James Cameron lost and Kathryn Bigelow won. I like Sandra Bullock and I liked the movie, but did not think she deserved a best actress nod for that. Half the snooty, snotty, nosy women in country clubs around the country could have played that character without pretending. I did like her acceptance speech, however. Jeff Bridges deserved his win and more, and I love him for the reaction, the gratitude to his parents, the 33 years of marriage, the family values........<br />I thought that Steve Martin and whatever Baldwin that was were absolutely pitiful. They weren't funny and added absolutely nothing. Bring back Whoopie or Billy Crystal. Shit, bring back Johnny Carson from the cemetary if you have to, but you gotta do better than that duo of aging buffoons. Who wrote that crap for them anyway? It wasn't Tina Fey, that's for sure. I also really liked Kathryn Bigelow's entire acceptance speech very much. And contrary to some comments I heard, I thought the way that the "best" actors and actress nominees were personally introduced by people they were close to was well done. It was special to the nominees and seemed very genuine.Doug da Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933535169976072818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051305056479842105.post-48792712189881165492010-03-08T17:51:04.578-05:002010-03-08T17:51:04.578-05:00For some reason I had not heard of The Fantastic M...For some reason I had not heard of The Fantastic Mr. Fox until right before the Oscars. And what I heard was quite positive. Now that you have declared it your favorite movie of the year, I bet I can get Mom to go see it with me!Doug da Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933535169976072818noreply@blogger.com
