Oh, are our feelings hurt?

Well, apparently you don't think Halle Berry is entitled to feel how she feels. Why should you expect more?

I thought her acceptance (not even a speech, really) was about as spontaneous and real and human a thing as I've seen in years, and I'm sorry you find it so threatening.

I was pulling for Russell Crowe, but I'm not unhappy with Denzel's Oscar. His was a great performance. I just don't think it was as great an accomplishment as Crowe's.

props all around to Sidney, Halle and Denzel

it was a looooonnggg time coming

Poitier is Oscar material for all of his films

Berry should have won last time for her role in Dorothy Dandridge

and Washington is straight up golden in all his roles

i like Ron Howard but i was hoping that Altman would pick up best director

also a great night for Arthur Hiller who is one of the nicest people i've met in the biz and deserved to be honored for the humanitarian award

and poor Randy Newman having to wait for his 16th nomination before picking up the prize...talk about endurance

it was an emotional, entertaining and unforgettable evening

I have not seen Denzel's movie or Halle's yet...I stress yet.

I have heard nothing but rave reviews regarding Halle's performance and based on that I can see her winning the Oscar.

However I have not heard a single thing about Training Day and hope (and yes even Denzel implied it) that this Oscar was not a token oscar.

I mean really what are the odds of two african american actors breaking barriers on the same night?

But good for them...Denzels even if not for Training Day was well deserved for his extensive and impressive library of work....shit to this day Glory is a favorite movie and I have to choke back the tears during the whipping scene.

But more importantly...I'm damn glad they finally gave one to Randy Newman...shit the man was the Susan Lucci of the Oscars...LOL

He should get a life time achievement award just based on how many shows he's showed up for...LOL

Denzel and Berry are a fucking joke.

The Oscars mean about as much to me as 18 year old girls opinions on politics.

What a load of shit, I cant believe really use it as a measure of a good movie. Fucking cattle.

UnseenWorld

Everyone should know that the whole Oscar process has its flaws, but anyone who saw Monter's Ball should have no doubt Berry deserved an Oscar for it. It was a riveting and mesmerizing performance, and Billy Bob Thornton wasn't half bad, either.

Halle Barry is half-white so yeah she was the first african american woman to win ...go back to Kentucky you farmer

bhutocracy

i would have chosen wil smith over denzel anyway..... maybe..

armen

Amen, Nedder =]

She IS amazingly hot (most Oreos are), and as Swordfish taught us, she has a pretty good rack. I thought, however, it was very interesting to hear her interview right before the Oscars with Barbara Walters claiming how she got into the acting biz because of her desire to make lots of money, and not for the sake of fame, respect of peers, or any other milestones most professionals make. I respect her honesty, but I was quickly disappointed by her teary acceptance speech, whereas she quickly jumped on the 'African-American-actors-never-recognized' bandwagon. To top it all off, we should never forget her awful judgment that night in LA.

My $.02

tekart

Well...if that's your opinion...fine...you're free to speak it.

However, look at it from this perspective...

She's the first BLACK female actor to receive the award. She probably didn't even expect to win, considering the other nominess...so she was caught a bit off guard.

IMO, let's get rid of those phucks who just HAVE to thank every body who worked on the film. Shit, I wanna hear more of the boom mic operators get some props for the hard work they do! LOL

Im just happy russel didnt win. He didnt deserve an oscar for gladiator and he didnt deserve one now. He is a mediocre actor that is fortunate (or smart) enough to do characters and movies that people will enjoy.

Did my favorite actor Steven Seagal win an Oscar?

bhutocracy

yeah an oscar for his performance in gladiator is a bit much.. but he's certainly not mediocre.. the insider and romper stomper were both excellent.. he did a great job in a beautiful mind.. sure it's a role thats screams "watch me give a performance" but he was totally engrossing.. far more so than denzel.. denzel's pretty fucking b-grade IMHO.. sure he's done some really GOOD SHIT.. but sooo much b-grade stuff too.. i hesitate to say he's the same character in all his roles.. but you do get that feeling.. there are never that many moments when you forget its DEN-ZEL acting out a character... i guess also because of some of the roles he's chosen.. and his sheer body of work.. but he does the same as russel.. he chooses the obvious crowd pleasers.. hurricane et al... at least wil smith actually had a stab at something that would be considered out of cast for him. (ie acting)

Dualcpu

Exactly, and what about Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stalone?
They have the best acting skills on earth.

Right ;-)

twistyneck

Now we're going to have to listen to this "African American" shit for the next month. Somehow I doubt Halle Berry was born in fucking Somalia.

She is photogenic though. I remember when she was on the cover of Maxim wearing a "Hottie" shirt. Damn, that was a nice picture.

Scootermuze

Hmm.. that made no sense at all..

and you should be glad there are farmers, in Kentucky or anywhere else, or you'd starve to death..

Scootermuze

I kinda think that he could give a rat's ass about an Oscar.

CoreDump

Yeah I think he did he won it for Nico 17

Denzel Washington was shit in Training Day! That was the easiest role to play. I tough black guy. Wow soooo fuckin hard!! I see people like that in my neighbourhood and they dont even act.
Sean Penn should of won for I Am Sam. Now that is hard to do...

I dunno about Hally but that was rigged too.... Stupid Acadamy!! They will soon give out Oscars to the people that they feel sorry for.... Oh give it to Denzel cause he is black... FUCK THAT. It should be fair and last night wasnt for sure!!!!!!

My fuckin

Za Ha

Action heros dont deserve Oscars... cause it is soo easy to play that rol.e.

bhutocracy

Bruce Willis is my personal god.. i EVEN watched mercury rising.. i think he should win an oscar for "best actor at playing the exact same character in the most amount of movies" or "only actor other than travolta able to star alongside samuel L jackson and still look cool"

ihateastro

Wow.. my first post on the board and it's about something my girl and I got into a scrap about last night.

No way on god's green earth Denzel deserved that award over Crowe. I fucking HATE Crowe but he was better in BM than Denzel in TD. Word.

As for Halle... I haven't seen her movie so no idea if she deserved the award, but I am getting more than tired of this 'my race won' bullshit. Who cares what color you are? If you can act and you're better than the rest, you usually win. Minus the sympathy vots of course.

Still doesn't explain how Kid Rock goes from being a pimp porking Pam Anderson when 2-3 years ago he was just some lanky fuck spinning 12" for MTV at their New Year's party for extra coin. (like this has fuck all to do with anything, but it just shows how strange shit happens all the time. Denzel wins. Halle looses her mind on stage. Kid Rock nails a crack junkie.

Halle Berry - Is very hot. Not many black girls do anything for me, but Halle is smoking. Loved her since X-men.

Denzel Washington - Is a very skilled actor. I'm glad to see him get an award.

I just don't like how color is an issue.
Awards should be given out based on their acting and not on color. Its a shame people need look at it that way.

RedShoe

Damn, I started reading these, and I started getting angry all over again...

Look, Halle Berry only does one thing well, and that's "hit and run" (know what I mean)
And for you race players, If her birth mother is white, doesn't that make her mulatto? So technically she's not the first african-american female to win for best actress.

Denzel deserved it.
Opie did as well.

Robert Altman is a hack, (and you know it!)

These awards shows make me sick, but every year I'm glued to the screen with my ulcer medicine at hand, screaming at what an outrage the whole ceremony is.

Look, I'm getting all worked up again. I hate the oscars, I can't believe so many people love this movie crap!!

And incedently, I'd love to see a caucasian win an oscer and not get shot down for saying, "This award is for every white actor that ever busted their ass to get where they are".

As for Denzel.. Love his movies, and he seems like a great guy, but no way did he deserve that over Crowes performance.
THAT was truly great.

Was definately a token gesture

I thought another entertaining part of the night was when Poitier goes up there as the legend of black acting that he is (and I won't deny that, I think he's great)....and then starts thanking all the white directors and gives a shout out to his white wife!!

Way to go Sidney!

So, you've actually SEEN Iris? I haven't, but I've seen Jim Broadbent in other films, and his performances are always perfect. However, I'm betting you haven't seen Iris. Now, admit it.

Clearly, by the time she got up to the Oscar platform, making money was not all that was on her mind. Blacks (I won't say "African-Americans" because not all Black actors are Americans) have not had an easy time of it in Hollywood, and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't looked into it. Paul Robeson and Sidney Poitier are actors who never got the recognition they deserved: beloved by the public and shunned as far as industry recognition.

And if you are referring to her auto accident, if good judgment were a qualification, lots of white actors shouldn't be eligible for an Oscar. Jack Nicholson comes to mind.
