This time Oscar recognizes Brokeback Mountain (not Crash)!
Flashframe777:
Thanks,
Yep, boycotting too.
Mikaela:
Thank you! :) (And being an old Lord of the Rings fan, I was also quite pleased at the big "Frodo" to the right.)
But despite this little consolation prize for BBM the Oscars've lost every onunze of credibility for me. When I read movie magazines now I just flip right past the Oscar speculations which I notice has commenced in earnest. I somehow naively held the opinion that by and large, despite the obvious lobbying and back-scratching going on in previous years, they would in the end nevertheless want to honour the truth and beauty of their own art; - and reward the truly deserving film and actors/actresses. But I'm no more suffering from that grand delusion. And what is the point then? Watching the dresses? Betting on who ran the best campaign, who has delivered just the right level of reasonably safe PC film and performances to make narrow-minded Academy members feel good about themselves when they pass out their awards? Who cares about that? Not me.

Tell you what..
Know what would be more fun? Making a list of those quotes here and name the movie after the quote. That'll test a few memories!
Here are the First few. Cut and paste, add another. Try to keep the list somewhat near the order they are on the poster to make it easier to go back and look.
"No prisoners, no prisoners!" =
"I wish I could quit you!" = Brokeback Mountain.
"All right, Mr.DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up" = Sunset Boulevard.
"ROSEBUD" = Citizen Kane.
Mikaela:
Great idea, actually. (I'm assuming you got the BBM quote intentionally not-quite -right? ??? )
Anyway, I'm skipping one but I think the one I'm going for here sums up my feeling for the Oscars, so.......
I wish I knew how to quit you - BBM
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore! - Network
