Really good to see Topsy Turvy get some credit . . Matrix was fun and all, but in terms of DIFFICULTY, episode one's FX did crush it . .I mean, the "stop-in-midair-and-rotate-around" trick started off in a gap commercial, right? Whereas Jar-Jar, though annoying as hell, represents a huge leap for compositing CG - the first real digital actor (though not human) . . . Kevin Spacey was great in AB, but really, I don't think the role challenged him, as it seemed fairly close to a composite of his other roles in Swimming, US, LA, whatever . . I'd have given actor to Crowe, whose subtle mannerisms and repressed anger & anxiety made Mann's Insider all the more gripping . . supporting actor should have gone to someone other than Caine BUT no one would have had as GREAT an acceptance speech, so I'll forgive that . . . big surprise on Jolie - for me - but then I didn't see girl interrupted . . . Blame Canada rocked, but I think out of some shred of respect for the nation they couldn't give it the oscar . . . nice mounty girls though . . finally - never let Whoopi host the thing EVER again, cause Billy is at the very least tolerable, and at the most DAMN funny (the spartacus thing in the intro was priceless . . also "I see White People") . . my more than two cents . . .
