LOTR Cleaned House!

If you’re looking for a quick list of all of the Oscar Winners, The Internet Movie Database main page has a list of all the winners with appropriate links. LOTR:ROTK cleaned house with 11 awards tying Ben Hur and Titanic. Everyone in New Zealand got thanked, and I do mean everyone because they all appearantly worked on the movie.

Johnny Depp got robbed by Sean Penn for Best Leading Actor. I was very very very disappointed as Sean Penn deserves no more respect than my right shoe. If Johnny had to lose I would’ve been happier if he lost to Bill Murray. It was about time for him to make a comeback and get recognized for his work. I personally didn’t see Lost in Translation, but it won for best original screenplay and marked the arrival of Sofia Coppola as a force to be reckoned with in both writing and directing. She presented with her dad
and it was cool to see the two of them together.

If this hadn’t been a LOTR year, I would have been happy to see anything WITHOUT Nicole Kidman in it win. Her lack of sincerity and emotion in both her acting and presence on screen in general is a major turnoff considering she fancies herself an actress. At any rate, it was your typical Oscars. It was quite sedate. Billy Crystal was a riot, as was Jack Black’s duet with Will Ferrell. I’ll sit through another one of these when something or someone good is nominated. From the looks of what’s been coming out lately,
I think it’ll be a long time before we see anything good.
