Brief Thoughts on the Oscar Ceremony

Okay. I know I'm a little late. I've been busy and my computer's been crashing...a lot. I'm also headed to NYC tomorrow for a grad school interview (wish me luck!) so I wanted to post some thoughts on the ceremony, etc before I head off.

The Good

• I thought Hugh Jackman was an excellent host. He made the show everything it should be. I still don't quite get why the job of Oscar host automatically conjures up images of stand-up comedy. Go big. Go flashy. The ceremony is nearly four hours long, for God's sake.
• Kate Winslet finally wins her much deserved Academy Award. Many people are griping about the film that finally got her there, but I'm not one of them. First of all, I'm one of the few people who actually liked The Reader. It may not be her best performance (there's not really any trumping Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Heavenly Creatures--her two best performances). It wasn't even the best of the five nominated performances. But it was still a great one (on my shortlist) and since the Oscars are never going to be a truly measured celebration of talent and achievement, I'm happy to see her win, just as I was happy to see Martin Scorsese win for The Departed. One of our greatest living actresses finally has an Oscar and that's good.
• Sean Penn and Dustin Lance Black winning for Milk and giving some great, reserved speeches that represent dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs for the GLBQT community in this country. I loved Sean Penn calling out the people holding signs in support of Prop 8 and hitting them where it hurts--telling them that their grandchildren will be ashamed of them. Feliciations, Sean and Dustin, from one commie, homo-loving son of a gun to another.
• The acting presentations. Many people are very "accept no substitutes" when it comes to doing something in lieu of acting clips. But I really enjoyed the "welcome to the club" approach of having five previous winners present the trophy to the incumbent. I know a lot of people found it tacky and self-congratulatory. I thought it was great.
• The show didn't feel overlong. Though truth-be-told, the length of the show has never been a problem for me. It's how they choose to fill their time. I could have done without the animation montage, but overall, very well-paced and fun. Kudos.
• Hathaway singing and ascending into stardom. She was my favorite of the best actress nominees, but I'm so glad she didn't win. The backlash would have been immense. And she was so beautiful and in her element at the Oscars. A true star in our midst. I love Hathaway because her talent is so large (I was saying this before Rachel Getting Married), and yet she still seems very grateful and gracious when it comes to contemplating her success thus far. Shirley Maclaine was right. Hathaway will be back here again and I love it.
  

The Bad

• The Slumdog steamroll. It was boring, and I guess I'm glad it's over. And of course, I'm glad that it kept Benjamin Button from winning best picture. But honestly, is anyone going to look back in a few years and call Slumdog one of the best pictures of the year? Milk was the best of the nominees, and in my top 5, but it's insane that THAT movie should be the best of the nominated 5. What a middling year, especially in the best picture category.
• Jennifer Aniston. God, why was she there. And of course, her being there brought up the inevitable "Aniston/Jolie" showdown conjured up by the Nancy O'Dells and Billy Bushes of this world. So many things to address here. First of all, what the hell is Jennifer Aniston doing at the Oscars? Seriously? Is it suddenly the place to be for mediocre former television stars with floundering film careers (hello, Jessica Biel). There, I said it. And secondly, there is no showdown. Because I'd be very surprised if Jolie cares about Aniston, or even thinks about her at all. And really, let's not go there. To paraphrase Arrested Development, comparing Angelina Jolie to Jennifer Aniston is like comparing apples to...some fruit that no one cares about. She makes me sad and I'd kind of like it if she went away and took John Mayer with her. And while we're at it...
• Beyonce' needs to go away too, at least from the Oscars. Why does she have to be here EVERY damn year? She so wants one, she can taste it. Be it for songwriting, acting, whatever. I swear, Beyonce's going to make a documentary short just so she can win an Oscar. When is she going to accept the fact that the world fell in love with Jennifer Hudson in 2006 and not her?
  
• Miley Cyrus kind of needs to go away period. I'm aware that that's not going to happen anytime soon, but seriously. I'm fine with tolerating her omnipresence on the Disney Channel, where I don't have to see her. But when you enter the Oscars, you enter my territory and I'm not sharing. Though I will say, fully aware of the sexist undertones, that her lack of poise or couth of any kind makes me laugh just a little bit. She truly is Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter.

That's all I can manage now.

My Final Oscar Predictions--Gulp

Here they are. My final predictions about who will take home the gold man ten days from now. No guts, no glory, as Sasha Stone would say.

Best Supporting Actress

Who Will Win: This category is one of the tougher acting categories to read at this point. Why? Because in this category, there is one person who has swept three of the majors. The Globes, the BFCAs and the SAGs. That person should be the frontrunner, except she's not even nominated (not in this category, at least). With Kate Winslet out of the best supporting actress race, this leaves the category relatively wide open. Truth be told, Amy Adams would be the only winner to truly surprise me. Logic would tip the odds in Penelope Cruz's favor. She has the NBR win, now the BAFTA, plus a slew of other critics awards on her side. But Viola Davis has her own little haul of critics awards. Also, consider this. No film that has ever received four acting nominations has ever walked away with ZERO acting statues. That means that, statistically speaking, someone is winning from Doubt, even if it isn't Davis (more on that later). But, Doubt is also the first film to have more than three acting nominations without a corresponding Best Picture nomination, so it's anyone's game.

Who Should Win: I would be happy with a win for Cruz, Davis or even Marisa Tomei, who isn't on my personal ballot, but whom I love as an actress and enjoyed in The Wrestler. But my heart ultimately has settled on Viola Davis.

Best Supporting Actor:

Who Will Win/Should Win: This is Heath Ledger's. It's a done deal. If there is a spoiler, it's Robert Downey Jr, but that's not happening. It's done. And I feel sorry for the person who beats Ledger in this category, because it will be such a monumental backlash. Even though he's most deserving, I still wish that I could go back in time and give Ledger the Oscar for Brokeback, when he was even more deserving.

Best Actress:

Who Will Win: A case can be made for either Hathaway, Streep or Winslet. All three seem to have about an even split of awards between them. However, Kate Winslet bested them at the BAFTAs, which is a huge deal because it was the first time she was competing against them in lead for The Reader. That means that Winslet has won every major award for The Reader that she's been eligible for. Plus, she's overdue and it's a fine performance--the only performance in this category repping a best picture nominee. It's (barely) Winslet's to lose, but it's far from a done deal. The statistic I revealed in supporting actress regarding Doubt and its four acting nominations could easily tip in Meryl Streep's favor. But she already has two. Anne Hathaway shocked those with her brilliant performance who didn't see the hints of greatness in her earlier work. But this is Hathaway's first nomination. Surely, she'll be here again. And since Rachel Getting Married was so phenomenal, yet only managed one nomination, I'm guessing not a lot of people saw it. I could see Melissa Leo winning, since her film also managed a Best Original Screenplay nod. They clearly loved Frozen River. But I still say that this one will go to Winslet.

Should Win: If we're talking about sheer quality, Anne Hathaway's performance is the biggest achievement, I think. She and Melissa Leo are pretty evenly matched in my estimation, believe it or not. And Winslet is also on my ballot. History will look fondly on a win for any of these three performances. This is not the worst ballot in the world, but given the Sally Hawkins snub, it's hard to notice anything else.

Best Actor

Will Win: Yikes. This race is contentious, but it's a good kind of contentious. It's an honest to goodness horserace, with two very worthy competitors (Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke) on about equal footing going into the race. How often does that happen? Usually, it's a media-invented horserace, (ie, Swank vs. Bening: Volume 2), where it isn't really a horserace. Or, it is a horserace, but with one competitor clearly the inferior, (Julie Christie vs. Marion Cotillard). When both are worthy adversaries, it makes things more interesting, less stressful. Weeks ago, I would have said Mickey Rourke, but I honestly don't know. He has the BAFTA now, so that's another check in his column. So here it is. Rourke has the BAFTA and the Globe. Penn has the SAG and the BFCA. There are no statistics to support one's likelihood over the other. So, I'm going to go with my gut and say that Mickey Rourke takes this. Sean Penn would be a lock, had he not won for Mystic River. I know I sound like a broken record, but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Should NOT Win: History will look kindly on a win for Sean Penn or Mickey Rourke. Both were singluar achievements, and I can't decide. I also liked Richard Jenkins. I can't decide who should win at this point, so I'm going to divert and say who shouldn't win. BRAD PITT SHOULD NOT WIN. I am a Pitt fan. I know I failed to mention it on my supporting actor page, but both he and Malkovich were among my finalists in that category for Burn After Reading. I love him, but this nomination just baffles me beyond belief. I don't get it. I don't approve of it and he shouldn't win.

Best Director

Will Win: This will go to Danny Boyle in a Slumdog sweep. Sorry, Gus Van Sant.
Should Win: This should go to Gus Van Sant.

Best Original Screenplay:

Will Win: This is going to be a tight race between WALL-E and Milk, but I think that Dustin Lance Black and his Milk screenplay will ultimately reign victorious.

Should Win: My least favorite of the five is Frozen River, which I still liked. This is the only category this year in the Oscars that contains five winning nominees. I'd be happy to see any of these screenplays win.

Best Adapted Screenplay:

Will Win: Slumdog Millionaire

Should Win: I guess, The Reader. But it's depressing that they couldn't do better here...

Best Picture

Will Win: I think that betting against anything other than Slumdog Millionaire at this point is wishful thinking. It has the DGA, the PGA, the WGA, the Golden Globe for Best Picture (Drama), the BAFTA, the SAG ensemble, plus a slew of other critics prizes. The last film with this much of a haul was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (In 2005, Brokeback Mountain almost had this much of a haul, but was missing the SAG ensemble prize. Plus it was, you know, GAY). And I stand by my original stance. I'm not championing the big Indian fairytale by any stretch of the imagination, but if it keeps The Curious Case of Benjamin Button from winning best picture, I triumphantly sing "Jai Ho" until my lungs are sore.

Should Win: Well, Milk should win. I enjoyed The Reader as well, but Milk was definitely the bigger achievement. It just kind of upsets me that this is the best Oscar could do this year. I loved Milk. It's totally in my top five. But that it should be the best among the five nominated films is crazy, given what Oscar had to work with this year. The Wrestler was hardly too esoteric to be embraced by the Academy. Mostly, I don't think I'll ever forgive the AMPAS for the cold shoulder given to Rachel Getting Married. I enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire and Frost/Nixon, but one isn't being unreasonable or crabby in saying that they're both overpraised and rewarded, given their simple executions and meager goals. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a film that should have fallen by the wayside as soon as people saw it, much in the way that Australia did--ie, visually striking and beautiful, but not much more than that. I think it's Fincher's worst film, and I'm including Alien: Resurrection. It baffles.

The Pretentious Film Awards--Best Picture

And the Pretentious Film Award Nominees for Best Motion Picture of the Year are:


Let the Right One In (dir. Tomas Alfredson)
Beautiful, elegaic, haunting and often terrifying, this is the only vampire film of 2008 that's worth talking about. It paints vampires, not as romantic nor earth-shatteringly beautiful creatures. But sad, lonely ones who walk the earth in search of a place to be--and blood, of course. Oscar and Eli trump Edward and Bella (yawn...wake me when this stupid fad is over) in every way. And this film boasts one of the best ending (or near-ending) sequences captured on celluloid this year. It richly earns its spot here.


Milk (dir. Gus Van Sant)
"It announces itself early on, proudly and unapologetically gay and gay and gay. This is a gay movie about the beginnings of the fight for gay rights, pioneered by one very charismatic, very courageous and very openly gay leader--Harvey Milk. None of this "this is a film about people. This is a film about human rights." Wrong. I mean, yes, I suppose it is, but that's missing the point and only further goes to obscure the issue. Harvey Milk wouldn't have wanted the film classified that way. He would have said, loudly and proudly, "this is a gay film." Those who say yes, welcome. And those who in all of their bigotry and single-mindedness dare to say no can go home and watch the world pass you by. This film is gay and it isn't making any apologies, nor should it. This is the film Gus Van Sant set out to make. The result is his best work in many years (possibly since Drugstore Cowboy) and one of the best (if not the best) performance of Sean Penn's career." (Read my full review of Milk here)


Rachel Getting Married (dir. Jonathan Demme)
" It's very reminiscent of The Celebration, obut it stands on its own. In a lesser film, these [stylistic choices] could all serve to distract. But Demme and cinematographer Declan Quinn know exactly what they're doing here. This is a total departure for Demme and it is easily his best work in years....Freshman writer (and daughter of director Sidney Lumet) definitely has a handle on creating fully formed, flesh-and-blood characters that don't feel like caricatures. It's a very common trend in films about dysfunctional families to create cut-and-paste archetypes that feel overused and stale. In Rachel Getting Married, you believe every word that comes out of these characters's mouths. Nothing is gimmick. It all feels real and incredibly heartwrenching." (Read my full review of Rachel Getting Married here)



WALL-E (dir. Jonathan Demme)
Could it be? Two unconventional love stories nominated here? WALL-E was an uphill battle for me. I have mostly been immune to the charms of Pixar, dating back as far as Finding Nemo. I've been reluctant, curmudgeonly. But after Ratatouille and now WALL-E, are we seeing the beginnings of an animation renaissance? A transformation of the medium from a channel for songwriters and Robin Williams to a form of high art? Watching WALL-E, I couldn't help but think that maybe we're in the thick of such a renaissance, and I've been too slow to realize. Beautifully composed shots, yes. Brilliantly written and animated, in a rare show of restraint and nuance on the part of Disney/Pixar. Gorgeously animated, of course. But ultimately, its story--a love story of two beings trying to find their way in a world gone mad is what snared me. Like EVE, I was won over the minute WALL-E looked at me with those big soulful eyes and I'm not the least bit ashamed to say it.




The Wrestler (dir. Darren Aronofsky)
"Mickey Rourke is Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a popular wrestler from the 1980s, who is way past his prime, but still wrestles professionally simply because it's the only thing he's built for. It's the only thing he's ever done that makes sense to him. We often don't realize how elusive that meaning is for people (even ourselves) and what we will do to hold on to it...The Wrestler is a film that has been talked up so much this year, what with Mickey Rourke's comeback performance that's sure to garner an Academy Award nomination. But the film blindsides you. You're expecting it to be good. You're not expecting it to be this good and in this way. It stands with Rachel Getting Married as two of the only films I've seen this year that completely defied expectation. This is a fine addition to Darren Aronofsky's catalogue of films and certainly one of the best pictures of the year." (Read my full review of The Wrestler here)
