The Oscars

So Amélie did not win a single Oscar. Not one! That's one of the best films I've ever seen. Ah well. I haven't seen the one that won the foreign language film award. So I can't really judge which one was better.

What has always bugged me about the Oscars is that in Europe you don't have the chance to see all those movies before the show because a lot of them have not been released here yet. This sucks. I think I would have had more fun if I had seen more of the nominated movies.

The ceremony was quite good though. Woody Allen was great. I loved it when Owen Wilson told Ben Stiller that he looked good as an elf (not many people in the audience got the joke though). The little scenes with the characters from the nominated animated movies were great too. It was very cool that Halle Berry and Denzel Washington got the awards for best leading actress/actor. Still if it's such a big deal that a person of color gets the award something is very wrong. If all people were indeed treated equally nobody would have to make a difference between black or white. Anyhow, it was a good beginning. I only hope it will not take another 40 years before such a thing happens again.

I have determined the winner of the quiz but I'm too tired now to put it all together in a presentable form and then online. I hope you'll forgive me for letting you wait another day. I will put the results up tomorrow evening.

I need to catch up on some sleep now.
