Oscars : results all 'well, duh', but so happy that Mickey Rourke didn't win and Sean Penn did. What can I say, I loved that :
a) someone upset the bookies
b) film and performance i'd seen and loved to pieces
c) it wasn't a case of someone playing what was essentially *themselves*. Hello, *acting*...
In regards to it getting Best original screenplay too, along with the Heath Ledger best supporting, I suspect afterelton.com are probably doing the dance of glee.
Mind you, the fact that several of the awards were won by brits means that most of the acceptances were amusing and non-gushy.
Thoughts to spice up oscars and get more viewers :
Make it more like unto the Brit awards. Everyone is pissed, no-one's taking it seriously, and the camera loves getting the 'BITCH!' faces of the losers and the presenters are judged on the Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood scale.
or if you don't want to go quite that far off-scale, make it like the BAFTAS. Relatively short, all the non-major awards and preliminaries are shown on a subsidiary channel, and no-one's taking themselves that seriously. Due to it being held in a theatre that's showing something else all the rest of the days of the week, they have to keep the stage really simple.
Being Human is just.... :wibbles:
( wibble )
On a sort of Being Human note : can someone please explain the logic of that 'I'm a werewolf, therefore this screws up my life and I can't hold down a job' which i've seen in some werewolf stuff and JK Rowling clings to? Let me get this straight, not being able to be contacted at *night* three times a month screws up your daytime activities? HOW?
