Wait, don't they usually start off with the best supporting actor award first? Clunky opening.


Any opening that begins with Pan's Labyrinth winning an award is a good one in my book.

4. Here's another secret: I'm told that there's a big change in the order that the awards will be presented. oscar.jpgThe Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards will NOT be presented in the up-front portion of the show, as in previous years. Instead, none of the acting awards will be given out until the last third of the telecast. The Academy is doing this, I understand, because Oscar viewership starts out strong and then wanes. Ziskin is hoping that this will keep the audience glued to the entire broadcast hour after hour. But I understand this decision was hotly disputed because it breaks with tradition. All I can say is that now there's not much reason to watch the beginning of the show, either.

UPDATE: *This is the only one of my spoilers being disputed.*

I am conflicted. Scorcese should win and it would be a shame for him to lose again...

...but it would be so goddamn funny.

Future joke: American Idol reject - 1, Martin Scorcese - 0. lolololol.

This is great for pan.

I can totally see the headline in the Post tomorrow. "Mexico wins oscars, steals Oscars from Americans."

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!! 96% are you serious? What is the movie about? Damn that's like classic/Titanic status right there.

It's about the Spanish civil war in the 1940s, as well as a girl's trip into a fantasy land. It's a story about growing up, the cruelty of human nature, questioning authority, believing in an ideal, and a whack of other themes. My favourite film from last year.
 
For those of us unable to watch the show, could you guys keep a running tally of who is winning for what? What has Pan's Labyrinth won so far?...

I'd like to watch, but my roommate's watching something else...and I should really be doing school work. :-\

Cool. I thought it was another one of those dumb movies that gets nominated like 100 times, but is actually boring and nobody watched in the theaters.

I'll probably watch it one day.
