My post from last year is here: <a href="http://psycopickle.livejournal.com/45900.html">http://psycopickle.livejournal.com/45900.html</a><br /><br />Gosh, I love the Oscars. I missed the first hour of it because I was babysitting, but it's not hard to find online. In this post I'll just write about my favorite parts. <br /><br /><b>Here are the winners, for those of you too lazy to read my thoughts: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/features/rto/2008/oscars">http://www.imdb.com/features/rto/2008/oscars</a></b><br /><br />So, Ellen Page (I love her) didn't win Best Actress; the French actor who played Edith Piaf did. She was in some movie I didn't even know was out: <i>La Mome</i> (and the O is supposed to have a little carrot top on it...)<br />** Oh wait, I've just been informed (by Temmeh) that <i>La Mome</i> is the same as <i>La Vie en Rose</i>, not to be confused with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119590/"><i>Ma Vie en Rose</i></a> (which I also love).<br /><br /><i>Juno</i> didn't get the best director award, and it also witnessed the same fate that <i>Little Miss Sunshine</i> did last year: the "little indie movie that could" gets nominated for best picture and best original screenplay. They both lost the best picture award to something more "Hollywood" and won for best original screenplay. Hell yea. <br /><br />Diablo Cody (the screenwriter)= ex-stripper/ex-phone-sex operator/GENIUS! <br /><br />Johnny Depp (<i>Sweeney Todd</i>) lost in the best actor category to Daniel Day-Lewis (<i>There Will Be Blood</i>), and I heard from Dena that Daniel Day-Lewis is like, AMAZING so it's good that he won. I barely saw any movies this year so I don't know. I've seen Daniel Day-Lewis in <i>The Crucible</i> and he seemed way too dramatic to me. I hated that movie but I could stand it because of Winona Ryder. =)<br /><br />Ok, so this is the reason I started posting all of this when I did. The Best Original Song winner, "Falling Slowly" from the foreign indie film (17 days, $100,000, 2 HandiCams), <i>Once</i>, was definitely the <b>best part of all of Oscar night</b>. I'm not even kidding. This song is so beautiful, I don't know why and I can't stand it. The movie looks totally cute also. <br /><br />Here is the movie: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/</a><br /><br />and here is the song: <br /><lj-embed id="27" /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:iluvnooyawk:2040 2007-04-14T07:15:14Z 2007-04-14T07:15:14Z <img src="http://i13.tinypic.com/35mp8ie.png">
