Belated Oscars Reaction Post

[sophieisgod]

I love this time of year. However, I do not love that the Beeb lost the broadcast rights to Sky Fucking One, thus preventing me from watching it live. I still remember the glory days of 2004, with the RotK cleansweep, and the Jack Black/ WIll Ferrell "You're Boring" song.

Anyway, things that made me happy:
Yay, Helen Mirren!
Yay, Forest Whittaker!
Yay, Marty!
Yay, Marie Antoinette costume designers!
Yay, Pan's Labyrinth winning lots of things!
Yay, LMS!

Things that made me less happy:
Where's the love for Children Of Men?
Will they ever give Peter O'Toole an Oscar?
Beyonce, ugh.
Happy Feet over Monster House? You suck, Oscar.



My 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' boys...


The Mac


Clive Owen (Where's the stubble? I miss the stubble.)


Oh, and Abigail Breslin is too adorable for words




Also, they've turned off the water and I need a shower.

Helen Mirren > all.

Why didn't Children of Men get more recognition? That was one of the most thought provoking films I've ever seen! Pfft. People.

Children Of Men was incredible. That tracking shot? Lord.

I think it did slightly better at the BAFTAs, picked up editing and possibly adapted screenplay, I'm not sure.

I do love Alfonso Cuaron, though. Have you seen Y Tu Mama Tambien?

Embarrassingly, I have only seen 3 Cuaron's films. Children of Men, Prisoner of Azkaban, (which to date is the only tolerable HP film) and A Little Princess, arguably the greatest film from my childhood. I sob like a baby every single time I watch it.
