So "King Kong" won an Oscar?
Yes!
Some of those short films looked interesting. I was glad "March of the Penguins" won too. Hoffman was charming in his accpetance speech, Witherspoon was awful. Lee can't speak English, I don't know how he manages to do his job, but he seems like a sweet man. And Nicholson could not have conveyed more sarcasm had he been phoning it in from FR itself.
Ann Coulter, on Drudge radio tonight, was calling the snub of Brokeback and failure to award the suicide bombers' film an Oscar "a strategic retreat" by the left, and something normal Americans should find heartening.
Clooney's acceptance speech made me sick. He is so smug, and so snide. His comment, "I am proud to be out of touch", is just indicative of what a jerk he is. We should all remember that when ANY of his movies came out, and say "we are PROUD to be OUT of touch with him, and his silly movies. And he had to remind everyone that he had been named sexiest man of the year. He is absolutley in love with himself!!!
Clooney for Solaris?
The Oscars are to Hollywood as May Day is to the Communists. I don't watch either of them.
In an earlier time a movie like The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe might have been in the Best Picture category. But times have changed : ( And yes, Clooney gave new definition to the word "Egomaniac."
"BrokeBack" got only One!
I find hidden humor in which one...
Original Score!
Chronic-What?! cles of Narnia should have got a special mention.

Nobody seems to be reporting much about the acceptance speeches and any political content in them, or by Jon Stewart. Did they actually display manners and judgment, or does the MSM just not want to confirm what we anticipated?
King "touchy-feely" Kong..finally watched it...man what that bad!
