Well, I can understand the DREAMGIRLS backlash. But I don't understand how PAN'S LABYRINTH lost Best Foreign Pic.

Apparently the voters actually saw it!

Makes me long for the good old days of "Hard Out Here for A Pimp."

Just reinforces to me the sad truth that the Best Song category should be dropped from the list.

Well, I believe it should have won the technical categories... But technique does not a Best Picture make.

but Matt.... another thought might be to actually start using actual well written songs for movies. With actual melodies, thoughtful and poetic lyrics, orchestrated with beautiful support form an orchestra......

oops, there I go again on an "old poop" tangent.

I'm simply amazed that "DreamGirls" didn't take a song Oscar.

What a hoot! Not a good song in the bunch, IMO.

At least they won't have to worry about Beyonce not being nominated when she wrote part of the song.

In other news...

I don't see any more snow falling in our backyard.

Now what is this???

Matt H. · « **Reply #1542 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:48:45 PM »

We're past the three hour mark. We don't need another film montage.

FJL · « **Reply #1543 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:49:18 PM »

I wonder how Flan's Labyrinth fared at Edisaurus' party. I hope the backlash didn't affect its chances.

Maybe it's for Best Film Editing. That hasn't been announced yet. $:-\$

Well, then I'm an old poop too.

Although, at preschool, if you say "poop," you get in trouble.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #1546 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:49:50 PM »

Okay, this is the most ridiculously random montage in the dark and sordid history of montages!!!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #1547 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:50:14 PM »

Uh-Oh!

I just realized one of my roommates was supposed to fly back from Boston earlier tonight. Her flight was due in at 6:30 origiinally... but then was cancellled... But then she was bumped to a later flight scheduled to get in at 8:15... She's still not home yet.

$:-\$

This montage makes no sense--it's just a series of film clips.

Gotta agree with that one. We haven't had the tribute to those who have died yet either, have we?

You weren't supposed to pick her up, were you??

I guess BABEL will win film editing.

Well, it was put together by another famous director.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #1553 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:52:00 PM »

OK gang, I'm really stumped now...... what was supposed to be the theme or point of that last film montage??? !!!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #1554 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:52:07 PM »

Was there a clip from PATHS OF GLORY in a montage about America?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #1555 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:52:18 PM »

This has to go to "Babel" - the whole film is about the editing.

We shall see...

bk · « **Reply #1556 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:52:37 PM »

Editing coming - if they cut all the filler from this evening, this show would have run one hour.

Matt H. · « **Reply #1557 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:53:28 PM »

We were both wrong, DR Jose. I had the same thinking as you.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #1558 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:53:42 PM »

Hmm...

Was that an upset?

Did anyone care?

And coming upon four hours... Does anyone still care?

bk · « **Reply #1559 on:** February 25, 2007, 08:54:07 PM »

Thelma. Even though the best edited film I saw was United 93.
