It seems that Oscars are given to people who didnt necessarily do the best acting job, but more likely that Hollywood wants to elevate their career to another level because they are a very marketable person. For example, Reese Whitherspoon is a good actress, but her portrayl of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line was hardly oscar werthy. I also have heard Forrest Whitaker did an excellent job in Kang of Scotland. Id like to see that movie, has it come out yet? Ive heard Dream girls is really boring and while the acting was good, the movie itself is pretty dull, its like a musical flatch.
If you noticed in several scenes in Pursuit of Happyness, you could see across the bay to Oakland but you couldnt really make out if current buildings are there when its supposed to be 1981. I did see the enormous LDS temple here in Oakland in the movie but I looked it up and it was built in 1964 so its historically accurate being in the movie. hea hea!
Another rant I want to get off my chest. When is Hollywood going to get some fucking originality? I just saw a commercial for The Bridge To Terabeatmanthia. When is someone going to write an original script of a story no one has heard of before? Hollywood wonders why less people are going to the movies then in the past few years, just look at the crappy sequels, and stu non-original stories.
Oh Leeroy what a knockout!
