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.

Shocking Oscar Nominations! 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I just read the Oscar nomination list and I am in total shock.

Keira Knightley for Best Actress? Her performance in Pride and Prejudice bored me to almost certain death if not for the fact that it finally ended after hours of torture. Her performance was so bad, that I can't even begin to describe it. She rushed through her words, like she was in a hurry to get over delivering her lines, not even a poetic notion in anyway she delivered her lines and her Elizabeth Bennet looked like she desperately needed a comb and a fashion consultant. Of course it is to illustrate that she's poor but what about manners? To see her running here there and everywhere is so contrary to my idea of Lizzie. The worst is she looks more like in Little Women (as Jo) THAN in Pride & Prejudice. Not one ounce of grace that one wonders why Darcy fell for her. It was an awful performance and of course an awful film thanks to an awful script. Even that Mr Darcy was awful awful impersonation of Colin Firth's Mr Darcy. The entire movie was awful and if someone didn't quite reminded me that Keira Knightley was actually playing Elizabeth Bennet, I wouldn't have known it at all. Her nomination is a classic example of being well liked is more than enough to make up for the fact that she really gave an awfully bad performance worthy of being slaughtered to death by Jane Austen's fans.

Why? Why her?

Anyway, glad to know Howl's Moving Castle is nominated eventhough I am still confused over the ending. Very disappointed that Chicken Little didn't get a nod, but I understand. It was cute but no more than that. BUT Corpse Bride? Another boring one nominated? Marvellous technique but the story was as colourless as the humans in this animation. I think that Wallace & Gromit will win.

Anyway THANK GOD that Zhang Ziyi wasn't nominated and The Promise wasn't either. I have a feeling Ang Lee will win something but will he be snubbed? I hope not. Jake Gyllenhaal for Best Supporting Actor? This is scary. Very scary.

The most upsetting thing is King Kong not even a mention. It should be nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and someone please create an award for Best Virtual Performance as I really do think King Kong himself should win something. In fact King Kong to me is the best movie because whilst it is moving that society disregard their prejudice for same sex relationship to appreciate a movie about love story as in Brokeback Mountain, but King Kong ... tell the truth! Admit it! Didn't you wish Kong got the girl?

Very very upset. Keira Knighley Best Actress nominee? She can't even act decently. Awful performance!

Can't blame the Oscars though. This year is marked with mediocre stuff and the good ones are those normally not recognised by Oscars. I really do hope Ang Lee wins big even if it means Mr Boring Jake will win something because he deserves something sometime in his life.

Hi Funn, any predictions on who will win the Oscars yet? I haven't seen any of the movies in the Best Picture category, so it's hard to place predictions, but based on Golden Globe results and media buzz, I agree that Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain has very high chance to win in a few categories.

Unfortunately the Motion Picture Academy is known to snub over big box office block busters like King Kong.

By the way, I posted more photos of actors before they became big stars at my website. There's another pic of Sammi Cheng when she won an award at TVB's Singing contest. I agree that she may have had her eyes done, as well as some chin work too? Her chin was more squarish before....

Jake Gyllenhaal's performance is good in Brokeback Mountain. He is totally deserving of his normination.

Jayne, I haven't seen all of the nominated movies but maybe will do so later. So can't make any predictions.

Will definitely check out the photos you mentioned. She may have done something to her face but her skin has always been flawless, that's what I could notice.

The Oscar is worthless and unfair. All just politics like TVB award. Some voters didn't even watch all the nominations before casting their votes.
