Average for conducting and content Well, here to say, Oscar was one of the most anticipated events of the year along with the release of the new film by Martin Scorsese “Island of the Damned”. After watching some strange feelings remain.
Well, first of all, it was a little strange with the results. In general, my favorites this year were Inglourious Basterds, White Ribbon and I Wish to Heaven. Of course, it is clear that after so much talk about the fact that the dispute will be between the former spouses and their films, the father-in-law of “Avatar” and “The Lord of the Storm”, but I still hoped in my heart. In my opinion, these three films were simply stolen.
Well, first of all, I want to say that I am very, very happy for Christoph Waltz. A great role in Inglourious Basterds earned him an Oscar for the male supporting role. I had no doubts about the winner. Right, the very first he was handed, but after that the mood began to slowly deteriorate.
It all started after Tarantino was not given an Oscar for Best Screenplay. They gave it to the Storm Lord. Nothing in the script of “the Lord of the storm” except a high patriotic note by and large, but it seems that academics succumbed to the fact that screenwriter Mark Boal wrote him in extreme conditions, and therefore decided to award him. This is the least of all evils.
Then they completely unfairly rolled a great script for the film “I would like to sky”, in my opinion, the best script of the year from all present in both nominations. He was preceded by a rather little-known film “Push”, which was not even nominated for the Globe in the category of the same name. And that really struck me. But that’s not the worst part.
I would have been shocked when instead of the German White Ribbon, the best foreign film Oscar was awarded to the Argentine film Mystery in Her Eyes. The director didn't seem to expect it. Probably, the academicians for a very long time chose between “The Prophet” and “White Ribbon”, that they decided to give the Oscar to this picture on the principle of not you and not me. Well, then, would give and for the best film of the year “Inglourious bastards”, there is exactly the same situation was.
Everything else is predictable. All the acting roles were distributed as planned, the director was given to Catherine Bigilow. I won’t say anything about it, because I didn’t like the film, but I still felt a strong director’s hand there. So is the best movie. "The Storm Lord." Still, it was a little unexpected for me, after all, such patriotic paintings are rarely given. Ryan wasn't allowed to...
There were also not very pleasant impressions. I can't compare it to Hugh Jackman. Like he did last year, so Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin don't even fit in. But still the joke on Avatar and Cameron with glasses turned out to be excellent.
In general, to be honest, I was dissatisfied with the ceremony, both in terms of conduct and content. Although, I am a bit glad that it turned out to be less predictable than last year, but still it came out sideways to my favorites, so I am still not happy.
