The Oscars

Anyone gonna be watching them?

[Gotham Knight]

I never do anymore.

I used to watch them religiously but the past few years I have had little excitement for them.

This year though there are some great performances and films out there.

Frost / Nixon, The Wrestler, Milk, Revolutionary Road and Benjamin Button are all fantastic.

I wanna know if Ledger will win the best supporting actor... sure he deserves it.

Watched Frost/Nixon tonight. Absolutely brilliant film. Everyone in it is great especially Michael Sheen and Frank Langella. Langella almost had me in tears over Nixon - a deeply moving performance.

Howards best and it deserves any success it might get at the Oscars.

I'll watch but only for The Wrestler. The Oscars are so full of sh*t now and Heath winning will prove it.

Watched Benjamin Button last night - I really enjoyed it, Pitt was better than I thought he would be.

It should def win the Best Make-up and Visual Effect Oscars - the job they did on Cate Blanchett was unbelieveable and Pitt was seemless in the little old body.

Heath Ledger's performance was totally amazing & he completely deserves an Oscar for it...seriously. I like all aspects of the Batman genre & the way Christopher Noland has totally revived the character, movie-wise, is great!

But, I gotta agree that the Oscars are really very kinda lame & in the last few years has just been a marketing device for Hollywood. I might watch it but won't be shattered if I accidentally missed it.

I know it's kind of morbid, & I don't mean for this to sound that way, nor do I mean to be disrespectful, but my favorite part of the Oscars is when they show all the people who died recently.

I think it's a nice tribute & I like to remember the actors who gave us such great characters & kind of thank them. Every now & then I'm sort of shocked about seeing somebody who I didn't know had died. But anyways, they always do such a great job on that.

The most touching moment for me was seeing Christopher Reeve come on to the stage after his accident to talk about the power of films to change people.

I was quite overwhelmed by that.
