I loved J-Hud's performance. I thought even her non-singing parts were pretty good. Very raw, untrained (far from bad) and of course her rendition of The Song was spectacular.
While there are some Oscar-winning performances which I felt were undeserved, Renee Zellweger's performance in Cold Mountain is the only one I've seen which I really truly hated. It was so laughable, it was verging on camp (not quite though). The only reason she won, I felt, was to spare her the embarrassment of losing three years in a row.

And Josh, what Nik said better not be trueAnd Josh, last time I was here (eons ago) you were beating off to Jennifer Connelly, weren't you??
I have no idea whether or not to dignify this with a modicum of seriousness but I've only been impressed with Jennifer Connelly in 'Requiem for a Dream' and I find beating off to that movie a little difficult. She works in movies like 'Dark Water' and 'Hulk' but she's the rare talent whose beauty seems false, frigid, and almost statuesque when any degree of healthy sexuality is introduced to her roles. She's a lot like a pre-botoxed-to-shit Nicole Kidman like that. So she ends up more successful in a movie like 'Hulk' than the crazy nutbag she plays in 'House of Sand and Fog'. I don't like beating off to mannequins and that's what she becomes when she plays anything with a vagina in a movie.
This of course refers to Connelly, The Actor. When she was just Connelly, The Pair of Tits ('Rocketeer', 'Inventing the Abbotts')...oh my goodness.
Also, doesn't modicum sound like a dirty word?
EDIT: Incidentally, this has to be the worst lineup of acting winners from any categories. I'll say I only actually liked a few of the winners (Harden, Blanchett, Weisz, and Swinton) and intermittently impressed with a couple of the others like Jolie or Hudson. There is not a single one that I can say I think deserved to win over their competition and many were my last choices. Judi Dench has to be the loveliest performance that has no business winning an Oscar.

Done.
Just sad that it will be the last.
No it won't. I can't stand that cow. Anyway, it was between her and Zellweger and at at least Renne didn't seem like she was reading from a teleprompter the whole time. So with Aakash's vote, that's actually 6 for Hudson (just below Zellweger) and 4 for Angelina Jolie (whom I adore).

LOL Akash! That´s not personal!Akash wrote:Argh! I cast my vote for Angelina Jolie and then remembered Jennifer Hudson was in this decade (I guess I completely blocked out her win). I'm sure Oscar Guy won't change it because he loves her and hates me for ragging on her (I'm not even sure if you CAN change the vote, can you?) but please let the record show one less vote for Jolie and one more for Hudson.
Zellwegger and Zeta-Jones are also pretty wretched.

Well, that you think Connelly's a good actress in A Beautiful Mind says absolute volumes about your taste, so I'm not at all shocked.Akash wrote:Thanks Penelope, I'm waiting for Marco to cast the third and probably last vote for Hudson. I'm sorry OG, but I'm pretending my vote was cast for the truly worst winner.
