You don't believe George deserved an Oscar? In my own case, I didn't believe Phillip deserved an Oscar. But when you consider the nominees, you'd just might think he does. Really.
What I liked most about it was Tsotsi's award as Best Foreign Film. Africans are really emerging in the movie business.
And yeah, I like Weisz.

i couldn't even bare to watch the whole show. i watched it half way through'. it was very boring. every thing about it. men. i went to sleep. as for the nominations and winners. in my opinion, it was totally wack. i don't even know why brokeback mountain was nominated. there was a gay thread in the whole show.  |

Best actor
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Best actress
Reese Witherspoon
I think these two deserved their awards, Philip has been giving great performances for many years and it's about time he got his just rewards.
Reese is my favourite actress and is very talented and should do more serious movies. Her perfomances in Election Day is just out of this world.
Best Director
Ang Lee
This is one i disagree with but I have to give him the benefit of doubt as I have refused to watch the gay sheep farmer movie but his Hulk was terrible even though I liked his Crouching Tiger. I just have this impression he got the award just because of the content of the movie (gay cowboys) rather than his direction.

The problem with this years oscars is that there wasn't a single blockbuster film nominated for the major categories which made it abit boring for viewers.
I like the fact that memoirs of a geisha won for art direction, cinematography and costume design, it was a beautiful film. Maybe abit low on substance and performance,but beautiful nonetheless.
I think it just shows that to win an oscar for best director you can't favor style over substance, there must be fantastic performances from the actors you direct. If you have a solid ensemble and they giv a solid performance, you stand a better chance of winning the oscar than if yu have fantastic special effects.

I think the biggest and most surprising win was for best song by three 6 mafia, I mean, I didn't even think they'd be recognized at all

Congratulations to 36 Mafia for making history. However, that song ( Hot out here for a pimp) is lame. The movie ( Hustle & Flow) is disgusting.

My bad. The song is titled, "It's hard out here for a pimp" Sorry.

Didn't like the song. Not at all.
And yes, Ang Lee didn't deserve no Oscar for his gay cowboy movie, but the movie had been nominated damn too much in the Golden Globes, Bafta, etc that it was going to appear bizarre if it didn't end up winning no award in the Oscar.
And I still don't think Phillip gave an Oscar performance in that movie. Reese deserved hers no doubt, but not Phillip. The fact that there weren't strong contenders for the Best Actor award saw him edge his way into a winner.

nopes georgie boy didnt deserve an oscar. i think my best moment that night was when, brokeback mountain took best soundtrack or so, their song was superb, i loved it, i think it made me want to watch the movie. strange y king kong kept winning, what about the big monkey, wats der that we havnt sin before.  i really thut jake was more deserving dan georgie boy, i almost cried when he diddnt win. and i noticed he was alone, i thut he was dating that spidermans girl, wats her name again? have dey broke up, and my guy keanu came with sandra bullock, r they together? n i liked the part in the debut when they went to ask mell gibson if he cld present de oscars, .  |

Strange why King Kong kept winning? It should even have won the Best Picture award. That's the finest film I've watched in years. It's true that they've seen giant-sized apes before but Kong had depth.
You think Jake deserved Best Supporting Actor? Aw, have you seen Syriana?
And hey, the chic you're talking about is Kirsten Durnst or so, the Spidie girl. And yes, they're no longer together. There even was some story particularly funny about their seperation. They fought over who was going to take custody of their dog!

I was really tripped that Crash won the top prize. If you haven't seen this movie, it's definitely one to see.
