This time Oscar recognizes Brokeback Mountain (not Crash)!
Mikaela:
Thanks for the list, would be more than difficult to keep track of this otherwise! :) OK, one more from me and one of the really obvious ones:
The force is strong with this one - Star Wars (Episode IV, A new hope)
(If I'm not mistaken that was the one which was actually up for a BP, so I'm going with that although they keep making similar comments on the strength of the Force in the main protagonist in all of the SW films as far as I can recall.)
David:
Where is this one?
"Badges? Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
- Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Meryl:
What Mikaela said! Great post. 8)

It's not entertaining anymore, if it ever was.

Amen. The awards ceremony is not just silly and pretentious and boring any more. I have to add "painful" to that list. :(
David:
In my opinion, the Oscars were a Gala event. The elite of elite dressed in their finest were there to honour and be honoured. Great movies were chosen. We saw clips and honoured those who has passed on in the year.
I almost puked when "It's hard to be a pimp" was the featured song performed.
But when it was mentioned post Oscars about how voting members didn't have to watch all the movies, or that Crash was allowed to mail out extra DVD copies right before the voting just smacked me of improper and betrayal of the system.
No, now that I know the event is rigged, I wont watch it any more.
silkncense:
"Attica. Attica" - Attica (?)
"Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle" - Chicago
"Think you have enough dynamite there, Butch?" Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
"ET phone home" - ET
"Von Trapp children don't play. They march" Sound of Music
"I'm goina make him an offer he can't refuse" The Godfather
The Oscars?? - Just not the same anymore. I may watch the lead-in (love the clothes & looks). May watch the opening / may not. But I won't even pretend it actually represents the best ever again.
