Claygasm Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 What is this "Pan's Labyrnth" that keeps winning? Yeah, I liked Gwynneth's dress, but the color just didn't seem to look that good on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I liked Gwynneth's dress, but the color just didn't seem to look that good on her. It's a fantasy film -- in Spanish, no less. I've been told that it's fantastic.

muskifest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 When Tom Cruise walked on stage, Alex said, "Oh no, it's Tom Cruise! He scares me...." Ha! And I would LOVE for the Mexican actress to win Best Supporting Actress for Babel. I don't know her name but she was unbelievable! Damn, Catherine DeNeuve (sp) looks freaking amazing....how old is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pan's Labyrnth synopsis Thanks. Looks interesting, but I don't do well with subtitles and my Spanish is a might rusty! Guess I'll never see that one either! I think I need to rejoing Netflix! Damn, Catherine DeNeuve (sp) looks freaking amazing....how old is she? Too old to be in the most marketable demographic to be a desired Clay fan.

ldyjocelyn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Netflix is the best thing EVER! That's how I got to see Little Miss Sunshine, and I'm sure I'll see a few more of these films when they get released on DVD. I'll get The Queen that way, for sure.

Claygasm Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I LOVE George Clooney! This should be Jennifer's category. Let's see if there is another upset. I'm glad she dumped the gold wings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansamcw Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 YAY!!!! for Jennifer...I was getting worried there!!! OH gosh that was pretty moving...its incredible to watch this girl from auditions of AI to Oscar winner. WOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claygasm Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I truly wonder where Jennifer Hudson goes from here. Just because she won all these acting awards doesn't mean her album will be a big seller. As popular as "Dreamgirls" was, the soundtrack didn't sell all that well. And is she really that good an actress, or was this a role just meant for her? And how many roles are there for someone like her? It should be interesting to see what happens.

muskifest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) I'm a fan of Jennifer's performance but I really didn't think the Oscar would be hers. Or maybe I really didn't think the Oscar SHOULD be hers? The Mexican woman (damn it, I can't remember her name, I'm sorry)...now THAT was an Oscar winning performance. I do believe that---as good as Jennifer was---the whole underdog, up from the ashes story hype pushed this...She won all three major awards. I just think that's a bit much...My opinion, YMMV, etc. ETA...I think you've raised good questions, CG Maybe they're behind my reserved enthusiasm for Jenniifer. I have no idea if she's a great actress. And yes, this role WAS made for her. I wonder how much of a stretch it actually was. She was wonderful...but it will be interesting to see if she pursues acting and if her talent will show itself in other, less 'comfortable' roles....

I've not seen the film yet (although my husband tonight said "I think I'd like to see that," which means I should buy tickets soon), but I do think this was a role made for her. And at this point, I think the only thing she can do is go down. And then I'll say that this is probably the same things that others were saying about Clay a few years ago....

Claygasm Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) I guess once "Dreamgirls" and "Babel" come out on DVD I'll rent them. I am dying to see what all the fuss is about! "Little Miss Sunshine" is already out, right? And Muski, you're right. The back story for Jennifer Hudson helped a lot, I believe - including her stint on AI. The GG award might make the most sense since they had a musical category, but maybe not so much the others? If "inconvenient Truth" doesn't win this, I'll be very angry! YAY! It won! Now if only people will listen..... Edited February 26, 2007 by Claygasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 "Little Miss Sunshine" came out a few months ago on DVD. It's a strange little movie, but it has heart, and I loved it. YAY for "An Inconvenient Truth" -- I actually saw that one in the theater! My political statement of the year.

Ansamcw Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hee Al is so Hollywood!!!

Awww...that was short and moving speech...I just think he cares more about this than being US president cos he sounds truly passionate about it... And, in a way, he may be of MORE good for this cause by NOT being President. He can pour his heart and soul into this one cause and get it off the ground, hopefully...because we'll need it!

Ansamcw Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well at this point if she comes out with a good CD ...she can establish herself as a singer...then she can work at building her acting resume. I think what made her win was the fact that she was truly able to move people by her performance. I really think that even other actors had to acknowledge that. The question now...will RCA know what to do with her. I think at this point it is vital that they go for critical accalim than for commercial success in her music.

muskifest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I heard that Celine's quitting her Vegas show after this year....man. She made some big bucks doing that, fo sho.

ldyjocelyn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'm wondering if the way Little Miss Sunshine is going, it might win the Best Picture Oscar. If it did, I think that might be the first time that the Independent Spirit Award winner and the Oscar winner are the same picture. I think. Yes, I'm imagining Clay with Raleigh and Durham watching the Oscars, and snarking on practically everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Jennifer is going to fall out of that dress! Why yes, yes she is....but at least she'll look good doing it! *g* Great color for a dress. But I'm partial to red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Beyonce is good, but it sure looks like she's trying to keep up with Jen, rather than the opposite. Jennifer seems effortless - Beyonce, contrived. I wonder why Eddie didn't sing Patience? He sang it in the movie.

Claygasm Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I remember now what I didn't like so much about Jennifer's voice. She has a very strident quality to it. When you listen to her next to Beyonce it really sounds that way. Beyonce's voice has a much more pleasant quality to it, as does the other woman from "Dreamgirls" whose name I can't remember. JMO and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
