I was pleased Ron Howard got best director.
He's had a couple of films win best picture
before but never won anything personally and
honestly how *can* the film be good if not
for the director???

Not me. I haven't seen A Beautiful Mind, but
I'm positive David Lynch deserved that statue.
Then again, David Lynch has an illustrious
history of being ignored by the Oscars; Wild
At Heart was only nominated for (and didn't
win) Best Supporting Actress, even though it
won the Palm D'Or at Cannes. Blue Velvet was
nominated for (and didn't win) Best Director
only. Mulholland Drive deserved to be at the
very least nominated in more than two categories!

On that note, I'll say what I said in a
different group: it's nice to see a black
Best Actor and Actress in the same year, even
if Naomi Watts and Gene Hackman deserved it
way more. Er, more specificaly, Gene Hackman
should have been nominated for The Royal
Tenenbaums, not the other 10 or so movies he
made last year. =P

I will never get over this. I think I'm
scarred for life. But I promise to shut up
now! *shuts the hell up* *fumes silently*
