No Country Dominates '08 Oscars

2008-03-09T18:25:00.000-07:00

No Country for Old Men won 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Ethan & Joel Coen, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay. No Country for Old Men was favored to win the top prize on Oscar night although it lost both the Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for Best Picture to fellow nominee Atonement. It was the most awarded film of the night followed closely by The Bourne Ultimatum which won 3 of the technical awards.

Daniel Day Lewis continued his winning streak picking up the Best Actor prize for his role as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. A suprise win for French actress Marion Cotillard in the Best Actress category was the night's biggest upset. Heavily favored Julie Christie lost the Oscar to Cotillard who portrayed Edith Piaf in the French film La Vie en Rose.

Much like the lead acting categories, the supporting categories showed a much expected win by Javier Bardem in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. The Best Supporting Actress category was the most unpredictable of the night with Cate Blanchet winning the Golden Globe, Ruby Dee winning the SAG, and Amy Ryan winning many of the early critic's awards. Tilda Swinton was a suprise win for her role as Karen Crowder in Michael Clayton.

Oscar Proves to Be Not So Predictable After All

2006-03-06T13:36:00.000-08:00

In an almost completely predictable night, the 2006 Academy Awards ended with a BANG when Crash, the film about characters of different racial backgrounds who collide in one incident and the different stereotypes society has created for those backgrounds affecting their judgment, beliefs and actions, which in turn causes problems for each of them, took home the top prize at last night's show defeating the frontrunner Brokeback Mountain. Crash also won Oscars for Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.

As many had predicted before the Oscar ceremony, Philip Seymour Hoffman took home the Best Lead Actor trophy for his portrayal of Truman Capote in Capote defeating Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger. Reese Witherspoon won her first Academy Award in the Best Lead Actress category for her portrayal of country singer June Carter in Walk the Line beating out Felicity Huffman in Transamerica.

Proving that television amuni can go on to film success, George Clooney accepted the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Bob Barnes in Syriana beating out SAG favorite Paul Giamatti of Cinderella Man and BAFTA winner Jake Gyllenhaal for Brokeback Mountain. A pregnant, but glowing Rachel Weisz won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal as Tessa Quayle in The Constant Gardener defeating critic's favorite Amy Adams for Junebug and breakthrough darling Michelle Williams for, once again, Brokeback Mountain.

Brokeback Mountain didn't leave empty handed last night, winning Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director for Ang Lee. Other big winners included Memoirs of a Geisha which took home three trophies for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, and Best Art Direction. King Kong was also a triple threat last night, winning Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

In a suprise win, rap group Three 6 Mafia won an Academy Award, beating out favorite Dolly Parton, for Best Original Song for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from Hustle & Flow. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe took home Best Makeup, while Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit won Best Animated Feature.

Can It Get Any More Predictable???

2006-02-28T15:44:00.000-08:00

Well, it seems to be one of the most predictable Oscars ever!! There haven't been ANY suprises throughout the pre-Oscar award telecasts including the Golden Globes, SAG, or BAFTA (with the exception of a Best Supporting Actress win for Thandie Newton). Brokeback Mountain wins Best Picture/Film, as do Ang Lee, Hoffman, Witherspoon & Huffman, and Weisz in their respective categories. The only toss up in the major categories I see is Best Supporting Actor where we have Clooney (Globe winner), Giamatti (SAG winner), and Gyllenhaal (BAFTA winner) all competing for the gold. Am I expecting any suprise winners at this years ceremony? Not really, but that shouldn't suggest that I'm any less excited for the show!!
