Brokeback gone for Broke

Having watching the oscar's last night, the only thing I can say is "thank god they made the right choices".

listen, I dont have a problem with Brokeback Mountain. I dont mind the storyline or dialogue or much more than graphic sex scene. But the fact of the matter is people expected it to win based on the context's of the love story being about two gay men, and that can only get you so far. Was it a great movie? Yes, but should it have swept the oscar's? No.

I thought Joaquin Phoenix should have won for walk the line. simply speaking he utterly transformed himself into Johnny Cash for the part. But being as the movie got nods for Best actress and another 18 wins in a variety of award ceremonies, I cant complain.

And John Stewart = Amazing. He somehow brought the daily show humor into the Oscar's and made it convert seamlessly. Not to mention he got a few good shot's off on Bush.and who doesnt love that.

  2. I actually watched The Oscars all the way through this year. That is largely thanks to John Stewart. Meow.

    Anyway, I'm glad Crash won and I'm glad Hoffman won. Though I do think it was a very hard choice this year.
