It has begun!

I'm not rooting for anybody but Helen Mirren, for whom I've had a thing ever since I first saw her. Helen, I love you.

Helen Mirren wins Best Leading Female Actress
Forrest Whitaker wins Best Leading Male Actor

Both of those were well deserved, too! I was stunned at Pan's loss of Best Foreign Film! That was truly "out of the blue" with the German movie winning.:eusa_doh: [huh]
But, it was incredibly righteous to have seen Scorcese finally win! Maybe Departed was not the movie he should've won for, but at this point, that's not even worth arguing. An amazing director, and so good to see him finally honored!

Was glad to see Scorcese win, also Hudson and Mirren.

Enjoyable show, it's late here, I am going to beddy bye...

I think if not The Departed then Letters From Iwo Jima

Doesn't surprise me at all. No fantasy film has ever gotten kudos past its technical achievements.

I am very happy for my friends David Mart?? and Montse Rib?© who won the Oscar for Best Make-up for the film Pan's Labyrinth. They are these charming, humble people from Spain who are living a Cinderella dream right now.

I have seen the German film "The Lives of Others", and thought it was quite outstanding - I was very happy that it won for Foreign Language. I definitely liked it better than the also-excellent "Water" and "Volver". (I haven't seen "Pan's Labyrinth" yet, but it will be playing at my local 1930 movie palace starting later this week.)
