You need to keep in mind that the Oscars are Holywood's version of a circle jerk. It's politics and behind the scenes crap, and very little to do with the merit of films and performances by actors and actresses.
I'll reserve judgement, as I have not seen either film that won best actor and best actress awards. |

Actually, the whole 'black and white' thing was amusing, only because they kept cutting to Will Smith (who I think is a very good guy, and a talented actor.)
It was amusing to me because Will Smith was being used as the 'poster child' everytime they mentioned 'blacks in film.' I guess it was because he starred in Ali? I did find Hollywood's Standing Ovation to Woody Allen gut turning. Excuse me people, but isn't this the same Woody Allen that couldn't keep his hands of his girlfriend's (Mia Farrow) adopted daughter? A girl that was less than 1/3rd of his age? Wasn't this the same guy that was accused of fondling his own daughter? Even though he was cleared of the charge, he was not allowed unsupervised visits with the child?!?!

Why are ya'll trying to keep a brother down?
Seriously, I saw training day, and denzel did a good job. Should he have won the oscar? I do not know. Should Halle? I do not know. But, was there some serious kow-towing to the black man going on last night. I don't think so. Look who won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Documentary, Best Documentary Short Subject, Best Cinematographer, etc... Plenty of awards to go around for us white folk. Also, Robert Redford was honored right along side of Sidney Poitier. Hell, Woody Allen made Whoopi look like a hack with his 5-minute stand-up routine. I am not worried about any sort of racial bias in the oscars. I look at it for what it is. A way for the rich and powerful to pat each other on the back. If you are outside the corporation, you get nothing. Look at the coens, david lynch and sean penn. Their movies were at least the equal of any of the movies nominated. Lord of the rings gets nominated but not Mulhulland Drive? What kind of crap is this? Are the Oscar's complete bullshit. Yep. Is there a racial sub-plot? Not this year. |

The Oscars was pretty much the same old same old. There were a few moments worth highlighting though...
When Black Hawk Down won best file editing, the winners paid tribute to the real guys the film was based upon, and to our troops doing their jobs. Robert Redford mentioned the need to appreciate the freedom we enjoy in this country and not to take freedom for granted. The moment of silence for the victims of 9/11. Another award recipient who I don't remember, paid tribute to our troops. At the end of the show Whoopi Goldberg said to the people in NYC, "we got your back" and she turned around and NYPD, FDNY, PA-something was written on the back of her dress. It was kind of a dumb joke but I got the point. I didn't see the whole show so sorry if I failed to mention anything notable. |

Although the criticism seemed more generalized, the actual guilty parties were the members of the guild who have done all the voting over the years. Whether it soaked in however, is a good question. |

My personal opinion of Sidney Poitier is that he did open a lot of doors for African Americans in film. But Halle Berry could fuck off. First she keeps crying and hollering "Oh God" so much, my dick got hard thinking I was watching a porn. Then I lost it when she started talking. What the hell did she do for the industry other than flashing her tits in swordfish. In this day and age she dealt with more barriers being a woman than being black.

I am no fan of Hollywood, but my limited knowledge of the subject tells me that winning an award is a matter of acting ability and timing.
I wonder if Denzel and Halle ever considered the possibility that blacks never won before not because of racism but because they never did a worthy enough job coupled with a slim year in film to win? From what I hear, she really stunk it up good. I am glad she did. I hope the leftist elite enjoyed being called racists. After all they always say that of others. |

Sally Field let the cat out of the bag with her acceptance speech years ago, "You like me, you really, really like me!" It's a political/popularity contest. The MOST important thing that's needed is... the right agent. The right publicity agent will get you onto People Magazine's cover and onto their "Sexiest People" lists. How else do you explain George Clooney's meteoric rise to stardom - on talent? The right agent cashing in enough chits for you will get you all the good press you could ever want and the best movie scripts saved for you. The right agent will limit bad press when you have a hit-and-run, sex with minors, drug OD or when you are seen stashing the murder weapon for your puffy boyfriend. It's all about connections. Talent is secondary. |

Whoopi was on a on a racial kick that really turned me off. I turned it off after 1/2hr of watching it. I figure all of the movies nominated I did not like or would not pay $1.00 to see anyways. With the exception of LOTR. I would much rather watch the MTV movie awards theses days. Laid back atmosphere. Movies nominated are actually the movies I want or went to see. FV

I think it is hilarious that the PC media make a big deal out of fact that the best actor and actress awards went to some black folks. If they were as "colorblind" as they profess to be, they would just report the names and the films they were in. If it were me, I'd be kind of pissed that the papers were making such big deal over the fact that I was black. Like it is so freaking amazing that a black person won. Denzel is a darn good actor, period. Halle Berry isn't bad, and she does have nice tits.
BTW I don't actually watch the Oscars, because I don't have the patience to sit through hours of crap to see 30 minutes worth of award show. |

Are the Oscar's complete bullshit. Yep. Is there a racial sub-plot? Not this year. [b]David Lynch, Mulholland Drive,[/b] nominated best director. Somehow I managed to sit through the whole movie - without drugs - and not fall in the aisle in hysterical laughter at the waste of celluloid. As for all the racial rhetoric, I'm going to ignore it. Denzel should have won for his amazing performance and Halle, well, um, the best actress doesn't always win. The media is the ones making a big deal about it. The quote from Denzel summed it up, the Best [i]Actor[/i] won, not the best [i]Black[/i] Actor. |

They were the token blacks (not that I don't think Denzel should have won by now). Hollyweird is so patently racist that they have to throw the niggers something every once in a while to feel like good liberals.
I didn't watch it and don't care much for who wins and who doesn't, but the fact that Denzel finally won after so many great performances (and not being an overtly political shithead) is pretty cool to me. I mean seriously, they made such a big damn deal out of Poitier being honored and Halle was the "lady of the night" could it have been any more obvious that Hollyweird was beating the drum to show how kind they are to blacks? I hate Hollyweird. I hate the crap and bullshit opinions they peddle. |
