Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Still nowhere close to being finished, but it's time for an update: **** 1- The Darjeeling Limited (Wes Anderson) 2- No Country for Old Men (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen) *** ½ 3- The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) 4- We Own the Night (James Gray) 5- Into the Wi...

Look, this may just be me, and it may be very silly, but I don't like it that so many of the contestants are virtually professional singers. It's not just you. But as far as the professionals posing as amateurs thing goes, I don't see Luke as a huge offender. I don't think his a capella group is bi...

And I guess one of things I dislike most about Archuleta is that he's an unapologetic Mormon. As long as he isn't hurting anyone or anything, I see no reason why he--or anyone else, of any religious group--should have to apologize for his faith. David Archuleta gave a beautiful rendition of Imagine...

Wow. I don't get the hate for Luke, Anonymous. I didn't get to see him last week, but I thought he was pretty good vocally last night. I thought he was pretty good too. Listened back to the mp3--which is the best way to evaluate these performances--and still liked it. Best, most difficult song choi...

Speaking of best actress: was that Terence Stamp alongside Julie Christie? I realize they go back far (and madding), but are they some item I don't know about? I think that was her husband (with whom she's been since 1979, but only married a few months ago), journalist Duncan Campbell, who does loo...

but I think it's stupid that Day-Lewis always stays in character the entire time on and off the set during filming. why is it stupid? I don't know that I could really explain why. More than the fact that he stays in character throughout filming, I'm annoyed by the idea some people have that this pr...

It may mean that I don't fully appreciate great acting, but I think it's stupid that Day-Lewis always stays in character the entire time on and off the set during filming. He started doing that around the same time he quit appearing onstage. I don't really care for most of his performances since, a...

All I know about the fashion is that if Rebecca Miller doesn't make the worst dressed lists, it's because she isn't well-known enough.

About 20-21 minutes, if you count closing credits.

Good Lord. The ceremony's barely over. I'll come back to this thread after the dust settles on this year. (Or maybe I'm just holding off because I've always considered this Mister Tee's thread.)

Related point: whose STUPID idea was it to present this category so early in the evening? It practically killed the suspense for the rest of the night. That's true. If they had wanted to give out a lead acting award that early, it should've been Actor, so we would still have had some suspense to ta...

HA!

I didn't mind him too much in There Will Be Blood, but I still think that Tommy Lee Jones's performance was far better.
