As for the ceremony... Stephen Fry did such an incredible job presenting. He was SOOO funny. Some of my fave moments were when he read out his mom's opinions of the best picture nominees and also Sofia Coppola reading the fax from Bill Murray. That was hilarious. It would be great if they let Stephen present the oscars this year. The most gorgeous looking celebs tonight were Renee Zellwegger (she looked stunning.. the best she's ever looked) and Jude Law. Johnny was hot but apart from smiling once or twice he looked pretty angry most of the time. Another thing I noticed was that whenever LOTR won something, for some reason, the camera would cut to Johnny's reaction and he just sat their looking dissapointed [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Best Speech of the night:
Bill Murray (read out by Sofia Coppola)

How RoTK didnt win Costume design is baffling.

Excellent show, agreed with most of the top awards and as Stacey said, Stephen Fry was brilliant.
Loved those "reviews" by his mother and the Pearl Harbor joke particularly, but poor Jon Voight, he took it in good heart though! And Stephen and Ian McKellen's kiss was sweet.

I have to disagree about Renee; she looked like an angry hamster. But agree about Bill Murray's fax, very funny; Benicio Del Toro seemed amused and he looked very handsome.
(Josh, Johnny and Benicio; that film HAS to happen!!).

Renee always looks like an angry hamster. Her face looks like she's had one too many plastic surgeries. It looks like she has to try really hard to make a smile.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I haven't seen it though, but it does sound funny. I'm jealous :(

Lol I saw it and yeah your right, Sofia reading out Bill's fax was soo funny. Stephen Fry is a top man...lol he cracks me up.

I noticed the same thing about Johnny though, he didn't look so happy!..but Jude looked fantastic,sooo handsome!

I think Master and Commander was a little overrated at these awards though [img]graemlins/ohwell.gif[/img]

I haven't seen the movie (It looks boring) but I love Peter Weir so I had no objection to him winning best director.

How RoTK didnt win Costume design is baffling.

I actually agree with that. LOTR should have won Best Costume Design, Production Design and Make Up & Hair and they should have ended it's winning streak there. Definitely not a good movie but it deserves its technical awards.

Kate, Did they really show Jon Voight's reaction? I missed that :( I was busy laughing and then feeling guilty afterwards [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/shake.gif[/img]

I don't think Alicia Silverstone looked too happy with the way Stephen mentioned Batman and Robin when introducing her (what else could he have said?). She looked embarrased.

BTW I didn't realise Sofia was such a hard name to pronounce. I can't remember who it was but someone called her Sofa [img]tongue.gif[/img] Not sure but I think it was Holly Hunter (who also looked really great)

Stacey; he just smiled to himself, I don't think he was too bothered about it.

Although I was happy about the acting awards I would like to be able to see 21 grams before all these award shows are aired.
