I'll be so happy if it wins best Comedy! And also, even though I haven't seen it, I really want Scarlett to win something....so I'd like her to win for Girl with a Pearl Earring.

as for coppola.....she did deserve to win....the only competition.....was mystic river .......(which IMO is a great film also)........but mystic was a "good" script...that was made better by the acting.....(and as i am typing this i think that penn is better in this than in 21 grams).......but lost in translation's script (being original....which should weigh in heavily).....made that film.....murray and scarlett should be lucky to act out that scrpit...its flawless, inventive, witty, highly original........but comparing both films i liked mystic river better.......

Touche, but I love Lost in Translation so much more...and it's so much more out-of-the-box then LotR....granted that's probably why it was the screenplay instead of directing. But as a movie I prefer Lost in Translation any old day over LotR

Touche again, and I'm fine with Jackson winning since, as you say, he did undertake a massive project, but the direction of LotR is so conventional,textbook-type. Lost in Translation's direction is much more originally done. That's just my opinion, though, I suppose

Best Drama: LotR: Return of the King

Cold mountain
Master and Commander: Far side of the World
Mystic River
Seabiscuit

I'm OK with this....Mystic River was better, though.

That's all, folks. Hope my little running tally was helpful for anyone (everyone was probably watching it anyway). I think Lost in Translation did pretty good, so I'm happy. I wish Scarlett could have won something, but oh well. All in all, a good presentation, and a good list of winners, IMO.

glad sofia and peter got their well-deserved trophies.

Quote from: OnomatopoeiaYep yep.  I'm in the chat, just like I said. (http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=5305)

we should definitely do one for the oscars.

Could someone atleast give the highlights of Murray's speech.  I didn't get a chance to see him win.  Thanks in advance.

Well that awards show was uneventful. Not one politically charged rant or noticeably drunk presenter/winner. I didn't even notice any accidental nudity. Better luck at the oscars hopefully.

Quote from: Chest RockwellWell I'm heavily depressed Scarlett didn't win Lost in Translation...but Bill Murray made up for it. I would have killed myself if one of them didn't win.

Scarlett was great in LIT. That said, she wasn't nearly as amazing as Theron was in Monster. Her transformation was even more amazing than Kidman's was in Hours. If she'd been up against her last year I think Kidman would still have won, but Theron's was a better performance.

In closing, it is a damn shame that 21 Grams wasn't nominated for a single award. I mean shit.. Get rid of Seabiscuit and include 21 Grams. Thats a no brainer. Or, for that matter chuck Master and Commander.

more pointless than ever.

In America better get sum recognition in the oscars cos this is wack. judging from these results tho, it's possible that Lost in Translation has a surprise win in the major categories.. and they're forced to give sumthing to Peter Jackson so no one else has a chance.,

diane keaton tho.. haha, whatever.

I agree with In America.
I don't know...Diane Keaton was good in Somethings Gotta Give.  It's not like others haven't awarded her...I think National Board of Review gave her an award this year.

Thin Red Line was nominated for 0 Golden Globes five years ago but still snagged a bunch of Oscar nominations.  Maybe there's hope for 21 Grams yet.

Quote from: soixanteThin Red Line was nominated for 0 Golden Globes five years ago but still snagged a bunch of Oscar nominations.  Maybe there's hope for 21 Grams yet.

Maybe for screenplay and actress (Naomi Watts better be in the nominees list this time, or else... exactly)

Well I personally think Scarlett should have won over Diane Keaton. Diane was good. Scarlett was great, but I suppose the foreign Press figured she'd have many years ahead of her. It's still quite an achievement to just be nominated for both Best Actress awards.

Gotta love Bill Murray! He looked so cool with his beard!

I loved when he said "You lucky son of a bitch" during his acceptance speech.

I also loved when Jim Carrey presented the Best Comedy-award (why the hell is he balded now?) and then after he said the nominees, he opened the envelope and said: "And the Golden Globe goes to... Elf! Oh sorry, this wasn't nominated this year!"
It's not even that funny, but I almost laughed to dead. Maybe it was his expression when he said it.

Quote from: SpikeI also loved when Jim Carrey presented the Best Comedy-award (why the hell is he balded now?)

It's for his role in "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events."

yeah but she made a point to thank her when she won best picture, cause i think she realized she forgot when she won best screenplay.

it doesnt even REMIND me of the other guy. i look at him totally differently.

also, i loved it when he said somtehing like "i'm not even going to thank anyone at focus and universal because right now so many of them are scrambling to take credit for this."

I thought it was a class act for Peter Jackson to recognize his fellow nominees. Both Eastwood and Coppola put out tremendous films and he had to know that he couldn't be denied this year for "Rings" even if the other two films might have been bigger achievements. For the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards to snub him three years in a row would be pretty aweful given the magnitude of all three films.

That should raise a discussion. Should "Return of the King" have been considered for it's own merit, or did Jackson deserve the Oscar as a sort of "completion of three films" Best Director award?

Discuss!

from EW...
Unlike other winners, ''Lost in Translation'''s Bill Murray did not credit a supportive Hollywood retinue. ''I fired my agents a couple of months ago,'' he began. ''My physical trainer killed himself. I would thank the people at Universal and Focus Features, except there's so many people trying to take credit for this I wouldn't know where to begin.'' Murray tweaked the conventional wisdom that awards voters give short shrift to comic actors (as they did when he went unrewarded for ''Rushmore''). The ironic comic urged voters not to overlook the dramatic actors because ''without them, where would our war, our misery, and our psychological dramas come from?''

Quote from: Myxomatosis

Much like last year and Scorsese and Gangs of New York (film vs his career).  I think the Oscars have to go with just the present movie, in fact only if Return of the King can stand on it's own (without the other movies having to be viewed) should it win.  Best Picture, picture is singular.

ordinarily i would agree with you, but since this was filmed AS one movie but released as three, i think he should be rewarded for the accomplishment.

Agreed.


And as to last year, well, Marty WAS the best director, so the GG was pure justice there.

i think in time jackson will recieve some sort of superior achievement award for the trilogy. Personally I think these movies are influencing the decisions to honor Return of the King, it's almost unfair b/c nothing can compete with the achievementof the trilogy as a whole. And for my money Two towers is a better film than ROTK. I am looking forward to the super extended cut, but I definately think ROTK may be getting a lot of its attention from the shadow of all 3 films and not on its own.

Quote from: themodernage02ordinarily i would agree with you, but since this was filmed AS one movie but released as three, i think he should be rewarded for the accomplishment.

but it wasn't released as one movie.  The release is what determines what makes a film or picture (atleast in the academy's eyes).

I pretty much figured LOTR would get everything this year, as far back as when FOTR came out. It just makes Academy sense...

right and picture by picture probably should be judged that way, but as far as director Jackson should be honored definitely.

I'll go with that.  Although I felt Eastwood was more skillful with Mystic River.

I thought either Eastwood or Coppola should have won for best director. LOTR shouldn't have won for best director or picture. The last one was good, but not great. But I'm glad Bill and Tim got their awards.

"Ah, you can all relax I fired my agents a couple months ago... My trainer, my physical trainer, killed himself... And I would thank the people at Universal and Focus except there are so many people trying to take credit for this I wouldn't know where to begin... I'd like to thank my wife for taking care of our home and our children all the time I'm away. And I'm away right now on a death ship called "The Life Aquatic" still shooting in Rome, Italy. They're getting it on the feed over there tonight... I'd also like to thank Sofia Coppola for writing a film that was so good that every actor in this room says, "That lucky son-of-a-bitch. It could've been me up there with that damn thing." Thank you... I'd also like to acknowledge the other distinguished members of the Musical and Comedy catagory that I'm in this evening, but I think it's too often we forget our brothers on the other side of the aisle -- the Dramatic Actors. And I'd just like to say without them where would our war, our misery and our psychological dramas come from? Let's not forget them tonight. Thank you very much."

This is a tough one... I think maybe the voters just assumed that LOTR would sweep the bpard for the final part, and so whilst it was nominated each year, when it came to actually voting for the winners, voters put it off planning to let it win this year. But then, there might be better movies nominated this year... we'll know within, what, 13 or so hours...?

Peronally anything would have been better than Chicago winning last year. Still undecided whether TT or ROTF was best though.

And take the Oscars with a large pinch of salt. Like the great and wise Bill Murray said - it's just politics and popularity. Though some time the deserved does win...

I agree. I was saying this earlier. There are other Movies (Lost in Translation) worth the award moreso than RotK. I think Sofia deserved the award more than Jackson, because, despite the work he put into his little babies, her direction is much more deserving of credit than his.

Quote from: Pdiane keaton tho.. haha, whatever.

i think they were just giving her the award to be polite.

First, french in Quebec (don't even ask me what's Quebec). Second, yes it's fucking foreign cause it's not from the US and third Les Invasions Barbares was wayyyy better than Osama. Way. I think they should have made Pierce say : "And the winner is...Osama ! Sorry we bombed you, folks !"

Though I'm happy with the overall awards (especially LiT winning a couple), the Oscars nominations are much more valid. And since Les Invasions Barbares is nominated in best screenplay and best foreign, I'm pretty sure it'll win the second, which is what it deserves. I'm so patriotic.

Jamie Lee Curtis nom for Freaky Friday?? Boggles the mind.

Murray's Globe Speech Jokes "Are True"
Hollywood actor Bill Murray's apparent jokes about firing his agent and his personal trainer committing suicide at the Golden Globe Awards have turned out to be true. The screen star accepted a Best Actor award at the Hollywood ceremony late last month for his efforts in acclaimed movie Lost In Translation - and proceeded to draw laughter when he told the audience he'd dismissed his agents "months ago" and his "personal trainer killed himself". While many put the comments down to Murray's dry humor, it turns out his agent Rick Kurtzman did "part company with Murray two months ago", according to an assistant to the Creative Artists Agency representative. And his personal trainer Raphael Picaud took his own life in July, confirm friends of the French fitness guru, who ran the exercise studio Body Maxx Exclusive Training Center in Los Angeles.

So, take it with a grain of salt.
