Hi. I just finished watching the 79th annual academy awards and i'm gonna comment on it.BEST PICTURE: The Departed.
Ok. I'm fine with that, given that it is actually hongkong's Infernal Affairs in english. Although Babel was good, i guess the academy didnt want something so deep this year. I almost thought that black comedy Little miss Sunshine would win.
BEST ACTOR: Forest whitaker." The Last King of Scotland"
I dont know about his acting. In fact, only half of the viewers of the academy awards did. His film, the last king of scotland didnt make it big in the theaters. I did hope for leonardo dicaprio to win though.
BEST ACTRESS: Helen Mirren."The Queen"
Hands down. Helen Mirren definitely. Like who didnt see that coming. Although the other four nominees did well this year, Dame Helen Mirren could not be refused the little man. I pity Kate Winslet though. She should win an oscar, maybe next year.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Alan Arkin."Little Miss Sunshine"
For goodness sake! Dont give arkin the award just because he is old. Eddie Murphy was so good in Dreamgirls. This is one big snub of the night. I guess Norbit just affected his image.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Jennifer Hudson. "DREAMGIRLS"
Whoa, Jennifer Hudson definitely deserved it. Her performance was ooh lala. An Oscar history. Stunning performances by the other nominees too. Kudos!
BEST SONG: I need to wake up "An Inconvenient Truth"
WTF?!!!? How could DreamGirls not win? What is the meaning of nominating all 3 songs of Dreamgirls and then denying it? Can the academy tell real music? Their live perfomance literally made me stood up in front of my television and cheered. Gosh. I cant believe the academy turned down the Tony award winning musical and gave it to an ordinary Inconvenient Truth.
I hope next year's academy would be better. i guess im gonna go sleep and forget about Dreamgirls not winning.
