And the Oscar goes to….

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

… MARTIN SCORCESE!!! No, i’m not kidding! He’s won it! WON IT!

When i watched the Oscars, it was the video in honour of stars who passed away recently. (Why must Peter Boyle leave us?)

And next up was the lead actress in a movie. This category is also known as the award that Kate Winslet will always ALMOST win. It’s not funny anymore seeing her lose every 2 years.

Seeing her lose out really got me braced for the worst: I’ve never liked award shows; the judges don’t seem to know what’s going on. Wether it’s Oscars, Baftas, or the Chinese awards, they’ve always given the prize to people who are, shall we say, substandard.

Maggie Gyllenhaal was NEVER nominated. Kate Winslet, Annette Benning never won too. Yet Hillary Swank has got 2 now. Why?

Brad Pitt was nominated in numerous awards for the lead role in BABEL (not in the Oscars, luckily) despite only appearing for a grand total of FIFTEEN MINUTES.

As for the Chinese awards, I’ve stopped caring once Cecilia Cheung won the big one. Hope her father doesn’t read this, though. I might end up sleeping with fishes.

Anyway, when the Best Director was named, it felt good, ya know? Martin Scorcese-finally-an oscar Best Director. It’s been a long time coming. I’ll forgive the Oscar committee for snubbing Winslet this year.

Add to that, Arsenal lost in a Cup final.

Spurs TRASH Bloody Fu**ing Bolton (i don’t care; to me, that’s their full name) four goals to one.

Nice day.
