Do you know if the oscar recipients for short film and documentaries will be able to give an acceptance speech?

I think I heard somewhere they were just given awards and go home. :p

Haha, I guess short film/documentery winners aren't usually that big, but yeah, I believe they do have speeches. I've heard/seen a few of them every now and then during the Oscars.


Ya, Inception had better win something. It probably won't win best picture, but I'm hoping for at least soundtrack, I think it had an amazing soundtrack and sound editing. With its other nominations for screenplay, art, cinematography, effects, I think it was great, but the other contenders are also great. But I hope it grabs at least one award. Or I r be'd disappoint.

I wonder which is gonna win best animated film...

I would respect that choice; it's got a far stronger soundtrack than most of the other nominees, I thought. This having been said, I would LOVE to see Powell's score for How to Train your Dragon get it. It's original, consistant, full of beautiful variety, and carried the phenomenal film it comes from.

The Academy never rewards the movie that appeals the most to the ordinary viewer - meh.


...although, given the idea drought in Hollywood these days that's becoming a good thing...

...but, in the end, the Japanese are making the best video material nowadays...

And you suggested anime for sqrage to watch, so I'm thinking that's a bit biased, :p How do the Japanese have the best video material?

The King's Speech was basically made to win the academies, it's a period piece, has a character that struggles but overcomes the problem at the end, has a good mesasage. Stuff they're looking for.

Much more emotional than Western movies or cartoons. Western movies seem cliched and bland to me. And since people watch/read stuff for emotion, it follows that anime is better. I think.

Well, some Western movies, like Michael Bay. American cartoons and mainstream tv I have to say is cliche, but it's unfair to generalize them.
If you want emotion and originality, watch European film. Crazy and extreme but very creative. And if you look at the most common "best films", they're mostly all American or European.
And to non-Japanese entertainment fans, anime is mostly just "crazy angry man screaming!"

But I enjoy anime, too. I just don't think it's fair to call any people having the best, :)

So... anyone watch the oscars?

While Hollywood's AAA production system does have a structure that causes big-budget films to be usually okay but rarely phenomenal, the single largest reason, I would argue, that foreign-language films seem so much better sometimes is that most of those films never make it over to us; we only see the best of the best, whereas we see all the crap from our own production system.

the oscars were pretty unfunny this year, the hosts were not exciting.

I did not expect king's speech to get best picture because i dont believe it was as hyped as inception or social network, at least inception won in visual and sound editing, which it definitely deserves.
