Oscars 12 Years, 4 Months ago

Great that Argo won (even greater that Lincoln didn't)... well done Daniel Day Lewis even though I hated Lincoln... hugely deserved Director win for Life of Pi... although I'd have given it to Ben Affleck... the one I still want to see is Amour... huge and correct praise to Adele - the first Bond theme in ages to be a real hit.

If you - like everyone else - rate DDL's wooden caricature of folksy Lincoln, after watching it (if you're still awake, which I doubt) immediately play the scene from A Man For All Seasons where Paul Schofield as Thomas More says goodbye in his condemned cell to his wife Wendy Hiller.

The acting standard by which all other performances should be judged.

Don't take my word for it; go and see it but I felt DDL was ghastly and I was so bored that I left after an hour. Dull, dull, dull... Loved Argo and Life of Pi. My favourite film LAST year was The Guard, not The Artiste. I thought Brendan Gleeson was far and away the Best Actor. I'm odd.

Its become quite apparent that the Oscars are dished out to appease the nominated. For example, Skyfall won because it was never going to win another category. Nobody wins on merit, its all smoke and mirrors. Typically Hollywood. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Argo: deserved awards.

Life of Pi: twee tedium. Twedium. I was praying the tiger would eat the silly little idiot and put us all out of our misery.

Lincoln - a good story if told in about 90 minutes, with discipline and rigour, but Spielberg realised ages ago that the more bloated the narrative the more 'worthy' Hollywood thinks it is, so the boredom was no surprise.
