SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

77th Academy Awards Winners List 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Aka the Oscars, probably the most watched Award show on Earth, or maybe not. First I hated the new concept where nominnes line up and then winnders announce and then short speech or Oscars brought to the floor, near the nominees, winner announced, speech there and then. THe winners should be given an opportunity to give their acceptance on the stage because that's the proper way, not like this. This is so TVB you know. Next year, they will have Bronze, Silver and Gold awards!

I haven't really watched the whole thing as there was some audio problems so I am going to watch it in full on Wednesday.

The starting scenes of old stars and new with some narrationwas super long. The stage was nice though.

Chris Rock was loud but ok. Nothing spectacular, jokes funny but nothing too memorable except for his comments on Colin Farrell and Jude Law and how true, how true. Apparently Sean Penn was very offended for Jude! Well let's try Sienna Miller then. What has she done thus far?? All like "boiling water" only.

I like the segment where Edna Mode presented the Oscars but that was spoilt by Pierce Brosnan's coughing but he had sore throats.

And I just don't understand how come Beyonce was performing twice? I don't think she sang those songs so why don't the Academy ask the original singers to sing? It was too commercialised and frankly Beyonce is not that great a singer. Many others are better and they aren't even singers.

Then the winners...

Picture: "Million Dollar Baby."

Actor: Jamie Foxx (news), "Ray."

Actress: Hilary Swank, "Million Dollar Baby."

Supporting Actor: Morgan Freeman (news), "Million Dollar Baby."

Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett (news), "The Aviator."

Director: Clint Eastwood (news), "Million Dollar Baby."

Adapted Screenplay: Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, "Sideways."

Original Screenplay: Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry and Pierre Bismuth, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

Original Score: "Finding Neverland."

Original Song: "Al Otro Lado Del Rio" from "The Motorcycle Diaries."

Foreign Film: "The Sea Inside" (Spain).

Animated Feature: "The Incredibles."


I was very happy The Incredibles won because I hated super crude Shrek II and the very boring Shark Tale, my choice for worst movie of the year. Very glad to see Troy somewhere in there, a bit shocked actually. Million Dollar Baby won the most and I was very surprised to see Hillary Swank again. So she is the best actress twice over? Oh pleaseeeee...Kate Winslet should consider playing either a Thai transexual kick boxer or a deaf/mute/paralyzed/comatose victim of a serial crime. Maybe then she can win something! Didn't watch Sideways so no comment but small movies have their charm.

Everything else, no comment.

I also saw the BAFTA, Stephen Fry was witty but his introduction was oh-so long though the number of awards given was just a few.

I miss LOTR because the last movie was the one I really wanted it to win badly because it was flawless in every way. This year nothing to cheer for you know. I mean where is Titanic or The Fugitive when you need one?

One very enlightening and some members may find offensive but very funny segment had Chris interviewing the ordinary folks about their faveourite movies and none of them have ever heard of the nominated movies. Their best pictures were either Chronicles of Riddick or White Chicks (which was quite funny). Imagine the horror eh? Nahhh The Incredibles should have won Best Picture, then I'll be cheering.

The tribute to Johnny Carson was touching and that man was very funny. That is what i call a great host.

I hope next year's format will give the winners some time on the stage to say their thank yous (don't see them doing that to the actors or actressess!), original singers singing their own songs and better movies, more popular ones. And I want to see Jack Black as the host or Will Farrell and no more 5 second delay or that nonsense.

Did you predictions come true?

For me, the oscars is only worth watching if Billy Cystal is the host. Especially for his opening number where he introduces the best picture nominees with a song and dance routine. Never fails to make me laugh. But his first few stincts were the funniest.

Wuchang, surely surely surely you will watch it to see your fave stars and who will win and all? Also for the songs, jokes and all? I miss Billy Crystal's opening too.
