The 78th Annual Academy Awards: Winners List on Page 7

[ᾦɐļᵲʊʂ]

I've been let down by the Oscars before, but 2005's was just pathetic.

I know I've said some shit about Crash, but for those of you who liked Crash, do you really think it was the best movie of last year?  Honestly, I'd give A History of Violence an award for Best Picture than I would for Crash, and it wasn't even nominated.

Real fast:  Did no one perform Lose Yourself at the 2003 Oscars?  I swear someone did, right?

There were no musical numbers performed at the awards that year.

[Derek237]

Untrue. Every song was performed except for lose yourself, making the fact that it won a big waste of time for everyone who bothered to perform.

You're right. I remember now that that was the same year U2 performed. For some reason I thought the producers that year tried to streamline the show by not having the songs sung.

"Sometimes people pretend to like movies more than they actually do," said Richard Walter, who heads the screenwriting program at UCLA's film school. "But this film wasn't really THAT good. What it tried to do was great, sensational. But what it actually accomplished wasn't so great. You can't really buy the love story."

That's right, folks... you heard it here first.  Richard Walter, esteemed writer of nothing that has ever been produced, says, "Brokeback Mountain's not THAT good."

Moral of the story: don't study screenwriting at UCLA.

Dude... I shamefully took a screenwriting seminar from this hack a little over a year ago (I was at a low point and needed something).  He's horrible.  Beyond horrible.  I first began to realize this during the day when he said how bad of a film Punch-Drunk Love was.  He further slammed PTA to which members of the class strongly disagreed.  He praised crap and taught RULES TO STICK BY or your stuff won't get read... but the worst part, the absolute worst thing ever is that he agrees to read your script and pass them on if he feels they're worthy.  Well this ass head contacted me a month later (I couldn't believe how quick), he wrote me a strong letter of how much he loved the characters, story, just needs a little shaping etc. and to give him a call.  So naturally I do, and he tells me that he would love to be a script consultant and move it along to his contacts.  Sounds pretty outstanding right?  Then comes his fee which is of course ri-cock-ulous... 5 grand for his contribution with no guarantees.  And NO he will not just pass it along to his contacts because he has a reputation to uphold and has to make sure the material is tip-top.  This deusch builds you up, makes you believe you finally may have some sort of an in and then tarnishes your happiness when he tells you what he charges.  People like him are just wrong and should not be affiliated whatsoever with the craft.

[The Red Vine]

I for one will be avoiding this asshole.

Drugs.

you gotta be fuckin kidding me! Brokeback was the best of those movies by a long shot. I just knew they'd find an alternate to Brokeback, cuz God forbid they actually give it to the "gay cowboy movie" (as they say). ridiculous.

excuse me sugar..but you cant cop out w/ the "gay cowboy movie"....hollywood is full of liberal idiots...and the fact that the film won for director, screenplay, and nominated for best pic...deadens your arguement....brokeback didnt win b/c of its gayness but rather b/c its overrated.......and heath and jake are douchebags ......damn, douchebag is such a great word..

have you seen the movie, fucko? go watch Crash again to fulfill your education on the nuances of the "race relation genre." i can't figure out why i prefer the beautiful, charged story of Brokeback Mountain with its wonderful, spirited humanity to a lesson on how Blacks Can Be Racist Too, maybe i'm crazy.

i haven't seen it...but i will eventually..i just think the film is overrated and i am sick about hearing about it..i am glad it lost...and the fact that crash, of all films, won is icing......and you guys think that this is one of my favorite films...its not....i was pulling for munich...but like i've said for the billionth time... a current hollywood film that shows minorites acting like bigots and being unreddemable characters rather than only white people...now thats controversial....once some of you guys grow up...[most here are under 18] and realize that the word doesnt move at 24fps you'll see my point

why would you criticize something if you haven't even seen it and know nothing about it? not that it's ever stopped you before.. like this argument that Crash's depiction of blacks as "unredeemable" instead of only white people is something radical, that's absolute trash: have you not seen ANY of the zillions of movies released in the last, say, ten years that depict minorities as drug dealers, rapists, murderers, thieves, pimps, and buffoons? HONESTLY, man. give up this ignorant argument, it's one of the worst i've seen.

once some of you guys grow up...[most here are under 18] and realize that the word doesnt move at 24fps you'll see my point

well to begin, that's not even true, most here are not under 18..but it doesn't even matter. You think the reason a lot of us criticize this movie is because we're not on the same level of maturity as you?  I never knew you to be so arrogant.
