G’night…

All that’s left is tedious luvvieness from the British “co hosts” – Oh, no, they’re now going away. As am I. Night night!

Nearly over!

Best Picture is being done. Soon, my bed and sweet, sweet sleep…

Achievement in Directing…

goes to Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby. Now I definitely have to go see that film…

Hmmm

In the middle of all this Oscar blogging, I had a mind to play nethack, but discovered that I didn’t appear to have a copy on my machine (?), so I do an apt-get install nethack and discover that somehow I’ve interrupted a dpkg –configure (run by apt-get) and now it looks like my linux system is going to have to do some major installation stuff which may or may not kill my linux box. And as that’s my conduit to the outside world, this is… troubling.

Well, let’s hope for the best…

For Best Original Song

Korvar — Mon, 28 Feb 2005 04:00:00 +0000

I want “Accidentally in Love” from Shrek 2 to win. It’s definitely the most fun – two of the others are really rather dull show tunes, although the French one is pretty cool.

Bum. Ah, well.

But the winner sang his acceptance speech. Yay!

Multilingual songs

Interestingly, two of the song nominees this year have been in Foreign – one French and one Spanish. Apparently the Spanish one is the first one ever to have been nominated. How strange.

Cinematography

Looks like it’s “The Aviator” doing the Big Sweep tonight…

Best Animated Short

Korvar — Mon, 28 Feb 2005 03:12:00 +0000

Again, as with the Best Documentary and Best Live Action Short, they’ve not even given us the slightest idea what these films are like, or why they might actually be worthy of an Oscar. Very annoying. Basically this film called “Ryan” seems to have won Best Animated Short, and I have no idea why…

Best Short

Korvar — Mon, 28 Feb 2005 03:10:00 +0000

Heh. Chris Rock introduces Jeremy Irons as “comedy superstar”, and Jeremy does, indeed, make with the funny And then one of the nominees basically has to be elbowed awake by his partner And finally, the winner declares the award to be “The Dog’s Bollocks”

Best award so far!

Half way through, apparently

Korvar — Mon, 28 Feb 2005 03:06:00 +0000

Wonder if I’m going to bother going the distance. Not enough Chris Rock for my tastes. And the Phantom Of The Opera song is dull, dull, dull.
