The Oscars

2Tuff2Quit · #1 02-27-2005, 09:05 PM

I'm sitting here watching the Oscar's preshow. I hope that Jamie wins something. It would be nice if he won both the supporting actor and the leading actor but I really doubt that will happen. Everyone has been making such a big deal with Jamie and his nomination that it will be really messed up if he doesn't win. The competition is really tough though, with Leonardo and Million Dollar Baby. I just wish it wasn't so long. They probably won't even give the awards I am waiting for until like 11pm

. Is anyone else out there watching the Oscars?

That's just required. I really don't care that deeply about soundtracks and foreign films. (Sorry to all the cinephiles.)

I really just want to see if Chris Rock will do a great hosting job and if Jamie will definitely win for best actor. The way that Jamie's possibility for winning the Oscar for Best Actor is being hyped up, it seems that LA may face riots if he doesn't win. It would just seem...wrong if he Jamie did not win.

As for the red carpet (I didn't watch all of it), I'm liking Halle Berry and Selma Hayek's taste in gowns, and it was great to see Jamie bring his daughter looking like a princess in all white.

ETA: Oprah looked lovely, too. (And it's not just because it's a golden gown.)

Not to mention that when Oprah was being interviewed on the red carpet, she commented on how Color Purple was up for 11 awards and got jack itsh and that she doesn't see that happening to "us" tonight (i.e. Jamie shoudl win something). Don't forget thought that Jamie is agaist Leonardo not MDB. Right? MDB is up for best pic ALONG with Ray and Aviator, no? The big issue is if he wins besta ctor for Ray and best supporting for Collateral. MDB is only a contendor because it is up for best pic, which really doesn't involve Jamie at all (in my opinion). I also think Hillary Swank will win best actress for MDB, which again has nothign to do with Jamie. I see him getting something but def. not both. WHo's he up against in the supporting category?

On a side note, the weather in L.A. was the bomb today. Not hot but absolutely perfect. I just came back from hiking in Palisades and the Oscar buzz "stuff" was definitely in the air. I love L.A. Seriously!

Oh MDB definately has nothing to do primarily with Jamie. I was basically just talking about how Ray is up against MDB for Best Movie. While I want Jamie to win his categories, I was just putting MDB in there because it is competition for the movie Rayin the grand scheme of things. I know he isn't going to win it all (it would be nice, but unlikely). I just would like Ray to win best picture and Jamie to win for best actor. I think I would like Morgan Freeman to win for best supporting actor for MDB.

Gotcha. You got your last wish already.

Congratulations, Eric Bishop BKA Jamie Foxx. I loved that he brought his little girl as his date to the Oscars. Also glad for Morgan Freeman.

Congrats to Jamie for winning!!! I think if he didn't there might have been a GIANT uproar. I have watched the entire ceremony (a first) and here is my commentary:

1. I loved CR's opening monologue.
2. Congrats to Morgan Freeman.
3. Did we really need Beyonce overkill tonight?? The only highlight of her being there was Jay being there as well.
4. Boo to Sean Penn for "informing" Chris Rock who Jude Law is. Uh, learn to take a joke.

I'm glad he won. Loved the speech.

He was up against some stiff competition, but he did something that none of the others did. That was to portray a legend, who everyone knew how he looked like, how he talked, how he walked, etc. Jamie made you believe that he was Ray Charles and that is extraordinary acting.

*Still wiping my tears after his acceptance speech*

I am also really happy for Morgan Freeman.

Yeah. Beyonce can really sing, but couldn't there have been a little variety in perfomers?

HC I was driving home from an Alpha Phi event at UBC?
HC the Vancouver, BC news station broadcasted the announcing of the best actor award live (they cut in on the news)?
HC I screamed like a fool? (glad I didn't rear end no one)
HC folx were probably looking at me like I was nuts!

Congrats to Jamie and Morgan. It has been a long time coming for Morgan!
