YAY BROKEBACK! ::cheers and whistles:: Picture, Director, and Screenplay...that's just phenomenal. A year ago I never would've predicted the success this film would garner, and I just feel like bowing to it. And Felicity Huffman winning...this is a Big Deal all around. I'm not going to bitch about Heath Ledger being robbed, because I've been a fan of Philip Seymour Hoffman for years, and though I didn't see "Capote," I can fully believe he deserved it just as much. Likewise Rachel Weisz, to slightly less of a degree (I wish the female performances had been honored as much, if not more than, the male).
The organization of Drama versus Musical/Comedy was particularly stupid this year, but I was thrilled to see both Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix win. "Brokeback" was the best picture I saw this year and "Walk the Line" was second best, and I take the stupidity thing back actually, now that I think about it -- it was nice to root for each one when they didn't have to compete. The Oscar race should be interesting. I think "Brokeback" will ultimately come out ahead, but sometimes the Academy's a weird fucker.
Don't care as much about the television winners, except for HUGH! And I was tickled to see every single desperate housewife lose to Mary-Louise Parker. Oh, and Sandra Oh, and Jonathan Rhys-Myers.
WTF moment: John Williams winning for Best Score. I mean, I realize the man is an institution, but was it really necessary to throw "Geisha" that bone?
From what I saw of ET's picture gallery, Scarlett Johansen, Hugh Laurie, and Johnny Depp were the most lickable (my GOD, if anybody ever deserved to be named Scarlett, it is that woman). Most of the dresses bored me, and I swear I've seen a few of them, or at least designs extremely similar, in the past couple of years.
Oh yeah, and who the fuck invited (Black Eyed Peas, not royal) Fergie?!

Personally, I was pulling for Narnia in the soundtrack department.
And shouted "Yay, Hugh!" at the appropriate moment, with a head half-full of red dye, nearly stabbing myself in the eye with the applicator bottle. Clever girl. And is it so wrong that I wanted him to win mostly because I wanted to hear what his speech would be? >.>;

Awww, I'm sad to have missed Hugh's speech. Was it good? I see Stephen Fry was there...

All of the awards for Brokeback were cool, though I still think Narnia should have won for Best Soundtrack. I'm listening to it at the moment, and even though I haven't seen Brokeback, I'm not sure it could compete with the awesomeness that is this soundtrack.

As I said to
Am I the only one who finds it intensely humorous the lead actor and actress are, respectively, Hoffman and Huffman?
