the oscars are on tonight. i'm chearing for Lord of the Rings and Finding Nemo.

Alison Krauss (a violinist) is playing a couple songs from Cold Mountain on the show and she's wearing 2 million dollar shoes. they have like 154 diamonds on them. crazy.

I'm just not into LOTR very much. I expect it'll be getting a bunch of awards, but I'm all for Renée Zellweger - maybe this year she doesn't deserve it as much as the past two, but it's about time and I <3 her, esp since Bridget Jones -, Naomi Watts - don't think she'll beat Charlize Theron, but you never know - and Lost In Translation :) I'd just love it if Sofia Coppola won an Oscar, it'd be great!

And yay! This is the first year I'm watching the whole ceremony, me & some friends have organised a sleepover to watch it (even though it starts 3am here lol)

oh, i would have fallen asleep even if it weren't on the radio. lol. i can't keep awake for more than a couple hours after midnight, unless i'm just really high on sugar. lol

i hope it's a funny/entertaining one this year. sometimes the show can get pretty boring.  :roll:

I'm not going to watch that.

I don't really like award shows, but be sure to give me some updates on who wins what.

No way, he does one good comeback movie and everyone is Johny-Crazy these days!

I think he's been winning to many awards, like the grammy's their should be a limit!

other people deserve to get some awards, and did you know they  the pushed the movie Secret Window to an earlier release date because he is so popular at the moment. :?

:P

Im voting for my favorite Aussie actress Naomi Watts.
Shes just the BEST!!
(http://a.oscar.abc.com/images/galleries/redcarpet/WattsN_76th_01.jpg)

Charlize will probably win but Naomi doesnt need an award to know that she is the best, which she is.
Well thats my opinion.
I also think that Lord of the Rings will get best picture because the Today show said so and hopefully Renee' will get Best Supporting actress and Sean Penn (sorry if i spelt his last name wrong) mght just take home Best Actor.

Its so unfair that Australia doesnt get the Oscars until about 1000000 hours after it has aired over in the USA but oh well.

I will be cheering for Naomi!!!
GO NAOMI

It's the year of Peter Jackson, so LotR will sweep. I'm not a fan of the LotR movies, so I would love to see something else pull a huge upset, yeah, it won't happen, but it would be funny.

I want Johnny Depp to win Best Actor, although Sean Penn or Bill Murray will win.

Best Actress: Hands down, Charlize! Although Diane Keaton or Keisha Castle-Hughes could pull an upset.

Best Supporting Actress: I'm rooting for Rene. It's about time she wins one, I loved her in Jerry McGuire, Chicago and Bridget Jones's Diary and I think she should have won for at least one of those movies. Hopefully, this is her year.

The people on the news were actually complaining that she wasn't dressed 'younger' wtfever Angelina can pull off anything. She is simply one the most gorgeous people alive.

I'm so pleased that Return of the King won everything it was nominated for....I've heard that the 11 wins ties the record holders Ben Hur and Titanic. It does great justice to the terrible wrong two years ago when the skizophrenic mathematicians beat out the hobbits for best picture :wink:
