My Oscar highlights

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Mar 8 '10, 07:34

Musical score speech - I'm a sucker for when the winners tell kids that it's worth it.

Best supporting actor speech - He was classy and concise in every speech I've seen him give. It's nice to see someone up there who was genuinely thankful to everyone (But not in a Benigni way).

Best Costume Design speech - I like that she pointed out that non-Victorian costume designers work just as hard as the rest of them. Oscar is so tiresome about this.

Best actress - Sandra was quirky, cool, funny and appreciative. Emotional at the right points.

Best Adapted Screenplay - Despite Wiggie admission about seeing his junk, I still found this touching.

Responses:

imo Best Costume was a jerk. She was so conceited. - MDH Mar 8, 07:42 11
- she was being ironic -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 07:48
- and even when she did acknowldge her peers, it came across like "sucks to be you that you slave away on a film that does nada for your oscar chances." -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:46 6
  - I don't think that's what she meant at all. She was giving a shout out to those designers who will never ever be recognized by the academy... - Jim Mar 8, 07:47 3
    - I agree, I don't think she meant it that way, but to me it did come across as a little condescending, in the context of the rest of the speech. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:48
    - Yeah, if you ain't costuming a period piece, you ain't got much a shot in that category. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:48 1
      - it's a legitimate criticism of the category, for sure. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:50
  - Exactly. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 07:46 1
    - I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn't intend for it to come across that way, though... -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:47
- my take was that she felt kind of guilty about getting it again, but didn't handle it smoothly. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 07:43
- I didn't like the whole "I already have 2 of these" comment. but I think her comments about the other designers that get skipped over - Jim Mar 8, 07:43 1
  - Yeah nice sentiment...bad execution -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:45
*SLAP* -- nm - sleepwalking Steve Martin Mar 8, 07:39

"it's like Bed, Bath and Beyond threw up on her..." -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 8, 07:38
