Agreed. I saw Rourke's acceptance speech earlier in the day and could only imagine what he might've let slipped on national tv. Seemed like the crowd was shocked at first, but guess because what he was saying didn't seem forced, everyone seemed to enjoy it. Would've liked to had seen him win (I saw none of the nominated movies though)

Re: Oscars 2009

Glad I watched these just for the Robot speech and Ben Stiller. Other than that, boring and pointless as usual. But the Robot speech had me laughing for 10 minutes.

Re: Oscars 2009

Wow, can't believe Rourke didn't win...what a joke. From all accounts, Penn was great in Milk but Rourke was absolutely incredible in The Wrestler.

Pretty much a downer for me.

Re: Oscars 2009

How can you complain when you didn't see Milk?

Re: Oscars 2009

Exactly. I've seen 4 of the 5 movies the best actor nominees were in and Penn was by far the best (Didnt see the Visitor). Honestly, I thought Langella in Frost/Nixon was better than Rourke too. Rourke was incredible in a couple of scenes (the ones with his daughter, at the supermarket and at the bar with Tomei) but other than that he just did things that I see from wrestlers every week on Raw/Smackdown.

With that said, I didnt expect Penn to win because he just one an Oscar for Mystic River.

Well, it has been five years ago that he won.

Oh I'm not saying Penn ISN'T deserving...I just can't believe Rourke didn't win because after seeing him in The Wrestler, I can't imagine any of the other nominees could've topped that but again that's my opinion, not fact.

I know what you're saying and I'm sure Penn was incredible, dude is an amazing actor. It's just that after watching Rourke, it wouldn't matter what anyone else did to me.

Re: Oscars 2009

How does a movie based on real life events win best screenplay?

Doesn't that pretty much mean it wrote itself so they basically won an award for making a move on a good story?

Weird, I thought Wall-E should have won that.

I haven't read the script yet so I'm just assuming.

I'd bet it's mostly because of description detail and dialogue (which is what I think wins most screenplay awards).

Whenever you have a screenplay where a man is making a speech, and the reader feels empowered by it, I think you just helped your cause.

And it was nominated for original because it has no background besides true events. Frost/Nixon is a true story but it was based on the play, so it lost any chance of being nominated for original screenplay.

Re: Oscars 2009

LOL that Ben Still video was pretty funny.

Re: Oscars 2009

Does anyone have the video of Franco/Rogan discussing this past years movies?

Re: Oscars 2009

I never thought Ben Stiller's ears could look any bigger...


On another note, for things I'm interested in, I'm two for three. Christoph Waltz won Best Supporting Actor and UP won Best Animated Film. Unfortunately, Inglourious Basterds didn't win Best Original Screenplay.

Re: Oscars 2009

James Taylor puts me to sleep. I have a strong feeling Cameron won't win best director. Hollywood likes firsts, and a female director is one of them. Look for Hurt Locker broad to take it. On a side note, Indonesia has just preemptively issued a Tsunami warning for fears Gabrouey Sidibe will win best actress and attempt to walk down the stage.
