Oscars 2005 - A Review

stress


well.. today is 28th feb.. the traditional day when
oscars are awarded to the best in the world of hollywood..

i couldnt watch it live on television.. cause i was a bit preoccupied..
but i checked out the results a few min back on the web.. and it took me by surprise..
i expected 'the aviator' to sweep the awards.. instead the honors was taken away by some breathtaking performance by hillary swank and morgan freeman in 'million dollar baby'..
i havent seen the movie yet.. so i still aint ready to b on the critics side..
jamie foxx surprised everyone by winning the best actor in ray.. never actually even heard of the movie..
the aviator still managed to get some back thru.. best costume design, cinematography, film editing etc..
and 'the incredibles' won all awards related to animation.. had to be, cause.. ther was no other movie in competition..

here are the rest of the awards being presented.. click on the link for more..
and some reviews from outsiders..

i still cant believe aishwarya rai rejected the invitation to present an award.. how dumb can she be.. she could have been the first one from india.. to present an award at the oscars..

Actually, Foxx was a given. His winning the award hardly surprised anyone. Hillary Swank was a bit of a pull. It's her second award and I was actually rooting for Annette Bening. Oh well. I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby but I will when it shows here. Scorcese... Well, I think Eastwood deserved the award. When it comes to film-making he's a newbie compared to Scorcese. But everyone claims Eastwood is getting better with each film that he makes. I just feel a slight bit of loss for Scorcese. He is really quite a figure and it's odd that he never won an oscar.

well.. i never actually watched any of these movies.. except aviator..
u seem to know a lot abt hollywood movies..hmm..
both swank and benning r amazing actresses.. both had won oscars b4.. so i didnt support anyone..
as for million dollar baby sweeping all awards.. it came as a surprise.. because the audience had underrated it..
i have to watch the movie.. b4 coming to any conclusions..

thanx for dropping by..:)
