Jamie stops the Million Dollar Baby Sweep I cannot beleive that movie won so much but the acting was good. . but i just thought the story sucked Rocket River
Yes, maybe we will see you accepting this award 10-15 years down the road if you are in fact pursuing an acting career. What amazes me about Foxx is the transition. I have heard actors like Hanks, Washington, etc. always say how hard it is to make the transition from comedy to drama or any other transition and vice versa and actually be accepted and this holds true in my thought as well. Before this year I could have never imagined Foxx in a drama like "Ray" or "Redemption" but he pulled it off and did great.
Anybody remind repeating what Sean Penn said about Rock? I know Rock said the following: "You want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law? Wait. You want Russell Crowe and all you can get is Colin Farrell, wait. 'Alexander' is not 'Gladiator." Talking about how directors should wait for more high profile stars to make their movies better but what did Penn say in regards to Rock?
Penn said that the host might not know who Law is but that Law is a good actor and that there are 5 bad actors for every good one and possibly implied that Rock was one of those 5.
That would be great but I've got many responsibilities here in Houston and can't spend as much time in LA as is would take to be CONSIDERED for roles. Jamie is a true talent, and a special guy. He was the second guy on his management team (Marcus King) to Mark Curry for many years and now he's on top, last I heard Curry was looking for weed after a performance at a small college in Pennsylvania. Perfect guy for the perfect role, what a story.
Sweet! In our office Oscar pool, my 2 entries came in first and second place, respectively. That's a quick way to win $100.
Can't be any worse that Halle Barry's crocodile tear display a year or two ago. Hey babe, thanks for the sex scene, now get off the stage. Geez, it's getting to be like a football player scoring a touchdown -- act like you've been there before and expect to be there in the future.
It was voted the second best acceptance speech in Oscar history, second only to Tom Hank's tearful speech following his win for "Philadelphia". His sex scene was also pretty graphic, does your touchdown analogy apply here too?
Another, Did Rock say something about "Favorite WHITE guy" or "favorite white actor" to someone??? I just think that if this was any other RACE saying "favorite BLACK" anything, the NAACP would be on their A$S for saying something "racial", but Chris Rock can get away with it... Anyway, did anyone also hear Salma Hayek say that Carlos Santana and Antonio Banderas would be "preforming" the song? Ummm... Salma, I am sorry... the Mexican accent was ok, but try to read the TELE-prompter correctly the next time...
Oh no, I am devastated that my preferences are not in line with the voters who vote on best acceptance speeches at the Oscars. What ever will I do? Hers was more than just crying. It was bawling and uncontrolled childish lunacy. She came across as looking like a buffoon.
Reluctantly I admit that it may have been a bit much, but you can't minimize her reaction if you don't know her struggle. Buffoon? Rappers maybe, athletes sometimes but Halle Berry is far from a buffoon.
