Not as bad as the Oscars but the Golden Globes or any other award show is shown just to get tv ratings & try & turn ordinary movie-lovers into sheep, not to mention the actors. ;D

Ooo that movie won, it has to be good!

I here that a lot.

I think the oscars lost a lot for me when they wanted to give Eminem one--nothing like pandering to the masses to gain support.

Most of these award shows are just further opportunity for already egotistical people to pat themselves on the back. "Hey, thanks me! I sure did a great job on my movie!! Good thing it was about me!!"

Best Motion Picture - Drama

Brokeback Mountain (2005) - What a shocker. Not complaining though. I would have liked to see Munich take this one, but seeing as though it wasn't even nominated, this one will suffice.

Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
Nominees:

Walk the Line (2005) - Out of the other nominees, I have only seen Pride & Prejudice and the Producers... and I prefer this over both of them. So, no complaints here. I'd still like to see the other two movies that were nominated.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama
Nominees:

Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote (2005) - Dear God, why won't they release this movie wide already?

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama
Nominees:

Felicity Huffman for Transamerica (2005) - I really want to see this. From what I've seen in the trailer, it looks like she does a very good job.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
Nominees:

Joaquin Phoenix for Walk the Line (2005) - Not much competition, I must say... and between he and Hoffman or Ledger, I don't think he's gonna take home the Oscar. Still, he deserves this win.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
Nominees:

Reese Witherspoon for Walk the Line (2005) - Never before did I ever consider her a great actress... not until I saw her in Walk the Line. I'm glad she won.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Nominees:

George Clooney for Syriana (2005) - In the immortal words of Lil John, "WHAT?" I let slide the fact that he was nominated, but a win OVER Matt Dillon, Paul Giamatti and Bob Hoskins? Are you people insane? Am I the only one aside from my friend who found Syriana incredibly boring? What's going on here?

Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Nominees:

Rachel Weisz for The Constant Gardener (2005) - Surprised I didn't kick the TV in when I found out Johansson would be going home empty handed yet again. It must have been that Rachel Weisz' performance was very, very deserving of this award. Glad they remembered the Constant Gardener, and I'm glad she won.

Best Director - Motion Picture
Nominees:

Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain (2005) - Surprise, surprise. Not complaining. I wouldn't have minded if any of the nominees won.

Best Original Score - Motion Picture
Nominees:

Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) - John Williams - What, did Brokeback Mountain get tired? The technical aspects of Geisha were brilliant, including the score. John Williams is a God among film composers.

I was watching 24 instead of this show, so when I checked the listings of the winners on IMDB I was still on the "24-rush" and started being Bauer like.

I agree and disagree with a couple:

DISAGREE

Anything Brokeback Mountain picked up. It didn't deserve them. ESPECIALLY WHEN you have much suprior films in Good Night, and Good Luck., exceptionally superior screenplays in Munich and hands-down lay-Ang-Lee's-ass-to-the-ground direction in Steven Spielberg. Grrrr.

COULD CARE LESS ABOUT:

Walk the Line's wins (which were more of a shoe-in than Brokeback Mountain) and the TV stuff.

HAPPY FOR!!!

Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is simply AMAZING as Truman Capote.

Say what you will Smitty about Syriana, yes it's boring in parts and as viewers we're left in total confusion, but the acting is exceptional. George Clooney did deserve this. Yes, over Matt Dillion's run in the emotionally-pornographic Crash, or Paul Giamatti in the retarded Cinderella Man...I never saw the Bob Hoskins movie (Mrs. Henderson, right?) so I can't tell you that. But Clooney did deserve it.


The awards show I like the most is (yes, the ever-so-popular) Oscars, since I get to shout at the TV with more anger than the idiocy of the people at CTU.
