OSCAR Predictions - Despite the fact that I will Still Boycott!
j.U.d.E.:
Sorry, slightly OT but I didn't want to start a whole new thread .. but there's something odd about her eyes.. It's like they are not real, there is no depth and they seem affixed to her face somehow..
- Anne Hathaway at the Oscars
I don't have a point - it's just I had noticed this before and it takes away from her beauty. Me thinks.

Meryl:
Hurrah for Gustavo! :-*
I was glad to see Martin Scorsese's ship come in at last. Pardon the obvious, but did anybody else find thoughts of last year overcoming the happiness for Scorsese? How I wish Ang Lee had been given that extra acknowledgement of Best Picture! I know, enough already.... ::)

OK, I didn't watch it but I must admit I just read about it on Yahoo. Does that make me a hypocrite?
I like this: ""What a wonderful night. Such diversity in the room," said Ellen DeGeneres, serving as Oscar host for the first time, "in a year when there's been so many negative things said about people's race, religion and sexual orientation.
"And I want to put this out there: If there weren't blacks, Jews and gays, there would be no Oscars," she said, adding: "Or anyone named Oscar, when you think about that."
It ain't much. But it's something.
I thought the score for Pan's Labyrinth was beautiful, too, Anya. Of all of the ones I've heard at the movies this year, its basic melody is the *only* one I can remember off the top of my head. (Well, of course I can remember a certain part of Babel's, but that's for another reason.)
I'm glad to know An Inconvenient Truth won not one but two awards. As much as the Oscars don't matter to me anymore, I realize they still matter a lot to many other people. And if those wins get more people to rent or buy the DVD, power to them. It's important enough that I'll take publicity for it any way I can get it.
And now, onward and upward. I've got three nights of Jake appearances and a movie release to look (vastly!) forward to. It's all good.
Oh, and I agree, Jude. There ain't a whole lot of warmth (or anything else) behind Anne Hathaway's eyes. She's certainly a very pretty girl, yet nothing extraordinary because of that. There are many young women out there with less perfect facial features who have a whole lot more goin' on than she has because they've got soul.

I liked that Melissa Etheridge thanked her wife in a very matter-of-fact way.
Go girl!
Anya_Angie:
Ednbarby, you MUST hear The Fountain by Cliff Mansell. It's performed by the Kronos Quartet and packs quite an emotional whallop.
Oh, interesting note on Gustavo, from filmtracks.com:
--- Quote ---The last time the same composer won an Oscar two years in a row was Alan Menken for his animated Disney musicals in 1991 and 1992
--- End quote ---
Those scores of course are Beauty & The Beast and Aladdin.
