i don't want to hear anymore about the Oscars. unless it's in a cynical fashion then i'm all for it.
first off i'm not a fan of nominating one person as best anything in arts. i had my favorites, and i would've been happy for them if they had all won, of course. but being nominated should be the best thing.
with that being said i'm happy Sofia won for Best Original Screenplay.
that was the one i wanted her to win.
i also deeply wanted Bill to win best actor, but oh well.
and the worst thing about it is that Les invasion Barbares won Best Foreign Language Film (does that eliminate foreign english language films? that's stupid). i'm really happy for Denys Arcand. i love the man's films. but all we're gonna hear about today in the quebec media is that win. oh, what -- Return of the King won *all* of its 11 nominations? that's not important.
it began as soon as the nominations were made public and Denys also got a nod for Best Original Screenplay. this foreign film got two nominations. it doesn't happen a lot. City of God got four nominations -- but you barely even heard that more than once here on quebec tv.
i'm happy for the man, but this will be rammed down our throats by the oh-so-insular french-quebec media (btw, i'm a french quebecer).
best moments -- Errol Morris' speach about going down the rabbit hole once again and Sean Penn alluding to the lack of wmd's found in iraq :)
now let's move on, okay?
