Of course, I also watched the this year's Oscar-Ceremony, and of course, I want again to tell my thoughts about it to my dedicated reader(s) here.
Because of my heavy throat soar and the aches I couldn't fall asleep anyway, but this year the competition promissed to be a bit more exciting than last year, as "The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King" won everything. Because this year there wasn't such a big favorit.
I just hoped, that Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn't be awarded, because I don't like him very much, and I think, he isn't such a good actor. Even when he plays an adult man he always looks like a too cute boy. But, fortunately, this hasn't happened - Jamie fooxx won for "Ray". I don't know, why such a brilliant director like Martin Scorsese made so many movies with DiCaprio. After "Gangs of New York" and "Aviator", he again is said to be working with him.
Well, at the beginning, it really looks like "Aviator" would be the big winner of the night, because it won everything, which it was nominated for - but, fortunately, this ended fast.
The movie, which I liked most the last year, "Closer", doesn't got anything. It was just nominated in two categories, but, obviously, the American voters don't like movies, where is so clear and open spoken about sexuality. So Cate Blanchett in "Aviator" was better than Natalie Portman, and Morgan Freeman better in "Million Dollar Baby" than Clive Owen?
The host of the show this year was Chris Rock, and I haven't liked him at all. I really prefer the last year's singing, dancing and entertaining Billy Crystal than this difficult to understand, permanently talking black man. And I don't like his jokes, always about black and white people. He really got on my nerves!
So, "Phantom of the Opera" was surprisingly often nominated in several categories, but hasn't won anything, too. But Andrew Lloyd Webber himself played a song on the piano, which was sung by Beyonce. But that song was rather boring. No wonder, that it hasn't won. I better like "Let me be your shelter..."
And one last thing, I vote Ziyi Zhang for the most attractive woman of the show this year!
