AcademyAward

AcademyAward, originally uploaded by jamie_derooy.

Last year in Montreal at the National Film Board.

Last year at the Oscars I spent it downtown in Ottawa at a semi-official Oscar party hosted by a girl from Trailer Park boys.....which I guess makes it not real professional at all. We did drink quite a bit, ok, many many litres of wine though in celebration of the awards and I won the prize for predicting EVERY SINGLE ACADEMY AWARD WINNER!

This year though interestingly enough, Hollywood's gone political. Politics is all about the Oscar's this year. It's quite interesting. It seems that most of the main filmmaker's today all thought, "if I can only make one more film, i'm going to give it this message," and went along with that in mind.

Though I highly believe Brokeback Mountain deserves best actor, I don't think they will get it. As I believe Paul Giamatti deserves best supporting actor...its going to George C.

Best movie of the year though....thats hard to say. Shouldn't be Brokeback because Munich was better than that.....Capote? Crash? Crash will get screenplay easy. Not best movie.

Bring Jon Stewart out. The old Academy fogies are DEPENDING on him to get them through a blockbuster-like depression in the high ranking films this year. Though the best films were all great, they all sure weren't blockbusters.

Could that be because of their political nature, or their plot? I've seen 3 of the 5 nominees for best film and I can assure anyone that those 3, at least, are amazing films.
