Best Animated Film of the Year
- Persepolis
- Ratatouille
- Surf's Up
WINNER: "Ratatouille". I haven't seen those other movies but apparently they sucked. They didn't even win the Academy Award. How embarrassing.
Best Original Song
- "Falling Slowly" from Once
- "Happy Working Song" from Enchanted
- "So Close" from Enchanted
- "That's How You Know" from Enchanted
- "Raise It Up" from August Rush
WINNER: "Falling Slowly" from "Once". To say they won be default is an understatement. Those Enchanted songs were awful. Was there not a scene in a movie this year where someone died and laid on their car horn for two minutes, because that would have won easily.
Best Adapted Screenplay
- Christopher Hampton, Atonement
- Sarah Polley, Away From Her
- Ronald Harwood, The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
- Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, No Country For Old Men
- Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
WINNER: Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, "No Country For Old Men". I just noticed that Sarah Polley was nominated here. The actress. From Dawn of the Dead. Adapting screenplays must be incredibly easy, because actors are fucking idiots.
Best Original Screenplay
- Diablo Cody, Juno
- Nancy Oliver, Lars and the Real Girl
- Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
- Brad Bird, Ratatouille
- Tamara Jenkins, The Savages
WINNER: Diablo Cody, "Juno". Think back for a second to the last 10 movies you’ve seen. Does it really seem like anyone in Hollywood has any idea how to choose a good screenplay.
Best Supporting Actor
- Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
- Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
- Philip Seymour Hoffman, Charlie Wilson's War
- Hal Holbrook, Into the Wild
- Tom Wilkinson, Michael Clayton
WINNER: Javier Bardem, "No Country for Old Men". I liked his hair. It looked like dog ears. Like Snoopy. And who doesn’t love Snoopy? If I had him in a movie I would give him another dumb haircut just to watch him go all apeshit.
Best Supporting Actress
- Cate Blanchett, I'm Not There
- Ruby Dee, American Gangster
- Saoirse Ronan, Atonement
- Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone
- Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton
WINNER: Tilda Swinton, "Michael Clayton". I'm amazed they didn’t give it to Blanchett. They love her even though she sucks. She’s so gimmicky. Isla Fisher should have won. I don’t know for what but she’s awesome.
Best Actor
- George Clooney, Michael Clayton
- Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
- Johnny Depp, Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
- Tommy Lee Jones, In the Valley of Elah
- Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises
WINNER: Daniel Day-Lewis, "There Will Be Blood". It's alarming to see DDL out of charaetcer. He's so god damn good. So many people just do the same thing again and again and again. (i'm looking at you Morgan Freeman)
Best Actress
- Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age
- Julie Christie, Away from Her
- Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose
- Laura Linney, The Savages
- Ellen Page, Juno
WINNER Marion Cotillard, "La Vie en Rose". Oh, I bet we see a lot of her from now on. These awards are like a rocketship to stardom!
Best Director
- Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
- Jason Reitman, Juno
- Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
- Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
- Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
WINNER Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, "No Country for Old Men". Little known fact: directors don’t even really do anything.
Best Motion Picture of the Year
- Atonement
- Juno
- Michael Clayton
- No Country for Old Men
- There Will Be Blood
WINNER "No Country for Old Men". Just the fact that Atonement was nominated is a disgrace. It's seventy or eighty times worse than watching no movie at all.
Totally lame.
By the way, am I the first comment? Sa-weet.
Who gives a fuck? I'm happy Hollywood's douchebags had a great old time patting each other on the back for being really important! Fuck them!
As long as Juno didn't win. It's a sappy indie hipster piece of comfort food for the fat asses of America.
Jennifer Garner's in it though, and shes banging Ben Affleck. Grrowll.
2 Girls 1 Cup was waaaaay better than Atonement. So glad that piece of shit didnt win anything.
lame
I was rooting for Cotillard. She's French, therefore she's been naked in movies. Page hasn't even released a sex tape yet. How are we supposed to support that? Let's get it together people!
- persepolis should have won.
- all the songs SUCKED
- diablo ROCKS
- marion totally deserved it. btw, she's far more pretty than all the others
- wtf was miley cyrus doing there? kids have to go to bed early. i hated her outfit, hair, voice, everything.
Yes, I am re-posting, but it's for the good of mankind. I believe the Academy read my post of 01/22 (judge by yourself):
"All I'm saying is the actress from La Vie en Rose, Marion Cotillard, should win because: a) She is French (therefore not having any problem in baring it all), b) because she has appeared naked in movies, c) because she has a great naked body and d) because she has a beautiful face and grabbable tits. What? That they're really all the same reason? Oh well, what the hell. see here for the real reason:

Dressed: http://www.starsmix.com/celeb_picture/408marion_cotillard07_jpg.jpg "
Go watch "A Good Year" and then come back and tell us you are not in love with Marion Cotilliard.
Highly disappointed Gag Factor 26 didn't win best picture.
Tilda Swinton - ugliest dude at the show.
javier bardem is like the king, he is spanish but manages to pull off a good american killer. plus he gets points for penelope cruz being his bitch.
he deserves all the oscars cos he is awesome and depicts all you crazy gunericans for what you are.
And the winners are….
NOBODY.
Wow! Conan is a better looking woman than Tilda.
I hope she carries her own paper bag to put on her head for sex.
I'd rather watch Nascar's rain delay all day and night long than this shit! I hate Nascar
Wow! That’s the longest list I’ve never cared about!
Fuck John Stewart
This just in- Hollywood is gay!
Jon Stewart was boring.
That was a good lead-in for the rest of the show.
I haven't seen "Michael Clayton" or whatever it's called, but they should have given it to George if he made it through without smirking and shaking his head. Or at least a "Way to go, Georgie! You didn't look smug once!" I suppose that's what the nomination was for. He probably had to hold push pins in his fist just. to. keep. from. smir. king. And mark my words… Parkinson's.
Meh, it was alright. A few surprises, but mostly who/what you'd figure would win, not necessarily who should win. They generally stick to five movies or so to award to death. Loved Javier, but Hal was amazing too, old… yes, but great actor. Daniel Day Lewis is always beyond anyone else. They should just have an Oscar ready for him any time he does a film. Done. I think I stopped crossing my fingers for anyone when Pulp Fiction lost to Forrest Gump. Yup, worthless.
