The 2007 Academy Awards Winners
SURPRISES:
- Last week if you told me Eddie Murphy didn’t win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, I would have been pissed. But last night I realized why I love Alan Arkin’s moving performance in “Little Miss Sunshine” so much, he is so endearing.
- Al Gore was funny! Why couldn’t he have been just like this when we needed it! Please run again Mr. Gore!
- “The Departed” won Best Picture? I love this movie I do, but I don’t think it has anything important to say. “Goodfellas” was a more superior film and had senseless violence potrayed in the same manner as
“The Departed” but the academy has always shunned these kinds of films. The subject matter may be entertaining but does it say anything about culture and society on a large scale like last years winner “Crash” did? If this movie could win, why didn’t “Pulp Fiction”?
- Why was Beyonce singing with Jennifer Hudson? Why did we have to hear Beyonce sing a duet with Jennifer Hudson when all of America just wanted to see why Miss Hudson had just earned her Oscar? Oops Beyonce, I smell a diva tantrum!
- No Anna Nicole Smith in the “death montage”. Hey, she was in “The Naked Gun” movies!
- “Pan’s Labyrinth” loses best foreign language film. Damn them “naughty, dirty little Germans” who won for “The Lives of Others” (thank you for the quote Sharon Stone).
- Melissa Etheridge wins an Oscar! Her dedication to her wife will be remembered as a historical moment.
- “Happy Feet” beats “Cars”. Pixar loses to the guy that made “Babe” and “Mad Max”. Take that Disney!

How funny is it that pictures of Madonna are all over the web right now from the Oscars…ok…well, the After Parties. On Yahoo!’s home page there is a FIERCE pic of Maddy and then it says, “Hottest Oscar Photo Galleries”. LoV Eit!
