I thought Tom Cruise was really trying to get an Oscar for the Last Samurai, but was he even nominated??
I didn't bother watching the show, nope.
I was really disappointed with Last Samurai, personally.
And the Will Farrell/Jack Black thing was hilarious.
Hey, second sequel to win best picture.
I'd say more anime should've been in the animated feature, but I can't really think of any good movies that were released last year. @_@
Oh well, Innocence for next year! Or something. >_>
Cruise wasn't nominated this year.
Sean Penn has his Oscar but Bill Murray has his Golden Globe and Johnny Depp has his SAG award so I'm sure it didn't hurt too much to lose given that all three of them have had great success this Awards season.
The "You're Boring" duet by Will Farrell and Jack Black was quite possibly one of the funniest moments of the night.
Nominations are good. Ngila Dickson got the costume design nominations for both RotK and Last Samurai, so they'd have had a tough job trying to acknowledge both...Originally posted by Calliope

Good results all round, I think.
Nice to see Renée Zellweger get the Supporting Actress award.
Return of the King was good, but not THAT good. I think Last Samurai should have won for costume. And there were others that I didn't think RoTK deserved. But oh well...

RotK didn't deserve all those wins on its own, but the Academy chose not to award the first two movies for some of the awards that they actually deserved, waiting instead for the final movie was released and so in a sense they put themselves in a position where they had to make up for the first two. It wasn't just RotK that was awarded, it was the entire Trilogy. And in my opinion the detail in costume and armor in the Lord of the Rings is beyond anything I've ever seen in a movie, and if people were dedicated enough to have their fingerprints rubbed off from linking chain mail together for weeks and weeks, then the least they deserve is a little golden statue.Originally posted by BatChao

This is awesome. Return of the King really deserved the awards. So they now tie with Titanic and Ben-Hur... Now we have three champions (yet I personally think Titanic doesn't deserve to be a champion:rolleyes2 ). I'm happy for this.
I'm glad to see that RoTK got all the awards and all. xD Sure, it was the worst of the three, but I still feel it deserved more awards than any other film out there.
I wonder why I pluralized King in the title of this thread...
