the oscars only show the stuck-up artsy elitist type of movies. not really my thing.

Oh, then I am mistaken.

What was it nominated for?

Oh gosh. It had to do with cinematography, sound mixing, producers, I think it was up for the movie of the year. It had a song from it also nominated I believe.

I had never heard of any of the movies except the Al Gore documentary thing.

It is mainly the ritsy ****y movies that get nominated. There were a couple of war type movies nominated I hadn't heard of either.

Oh Well.

Well, I haven't seen the movie. So, I can't say if it deserved an Oscar for anything. But, from the previews it looked like it had some good graphics effects in it. So, I could have seen it winning with Cinematography and Sound Mixing. But for Movie of the Year and Producers the competition would have been too great. I bought the Departed and watched it and I must say that I REALLY liked it. So, I'm glad that it won.

Such a mediocre telecast. Degeneres was awful.

Bring back Billy Crystal will ya?

[Kapaibro]

That said, some really good people won.

Martin Scorsese (finally)

Forest Whitaker (loved him since Good Morning Vietnam)

Helen Mirren (been doing great stuff for years in England)

Jennifer Hudson (American Idol? Haha)

It was nominated several times last night with no luck.

If by no luck you mean winning 3 Oscars then you'd be right.

But I'd say winning 3 Oscars isn't bad. There are tons of good movies that win less than that...

And I'd say winning one less than the one that took home the most (The Departed with 4) isn't half bad.

However, 4 is kind of low for the movie that usually takes home the most. But it was only nominated for 5.
