Million Dollar Baby is the big winner for the Oscars. Yes, Clint Eastwood is back to get back what he deserves, after Peter Jackson robbed off 13 mini golden man last year, causing Eastwood to bring home only 2 golden man for Sean Penn and Tim Robbins.
Million Dollar Baby brings home: Best Picture, Best Director (who else but Eastwood himself?), Best Actress (Hilary Swank now owns 2 Oscars for playing a more masculine role.) and Best Supporting Actor (truly speaking, Morgan Freeman deserves this award. He has been rubbing shoulders with Oscars four times.) As for the rest? Well, most of them brings home an award, at least one.
Congrets to Jamie Foxx for bringing home an Oscars for Best Actor in his role of the late jazz legend, Ray Charles, in the movie Ray. The biggest nominee The Aviator brings home 5, namely Best supporting actress (Cate Blanchette bring proud to Australia !), Best Art Direction, Cinematography, Editing and Costume Design. Sideways? Best Adapted Screenplay. And the Incredibles are really incredible - Sound editing and Animation. Johnny Depp did not seems to get attention from playing a proper role in Finding Neverland, but an achievement for Original Score now lives in the Neverland forever. Jim Carrey should not count himself and the kids unfortunate: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is fortunate enough to gain an achievement in Makeup. Spidey was sharp to capture an Best Visual Effect award. Who else?
Ah, not forgetting Mar Adentro aka The Sea Inside - Best Foreign Film! The Motorcycle Diaries? Best Theme Song. Well, tough luck for Amelie and Jeunet. Mathilde may have found her Manech in the end, but it would never make it way to Oscars for Best Cinematography and Art Direction.
And unsurprisingly, Zhang Yimou is disgracing the Chinese again. House of Flying Daggers shamed the Chinese. It fails to begged Best Cinematography. What does this implies? Lao Mou Zi, stop making ya stupid swordfighting films. Focus on arthouse films and you will make your way to the Oscars.
