Nobody Mentioned the Oscars

[johnnymk]

I didn't watch the awards the other night. Someone told me the actress from Million Dollar Baby won an award.

It's really weird, because I watched the rented flick from Blockbuster Sunday night. The story and the acting by every character was superb. But I was mostly impressed by the actress.

At the end of the movie, I cried like a baby. Plus it brought back memories of other events and loved ones who passed away in my life.

She really deserved the award.

[Memo]

Ya, Million Dollar Baby was a great movie and Hillary Swank did a great job in it. But that was last year. This year Reese Witherspoon won for Walk the Line. I really didn't even know the Oscars happened till I saw a blurb about it on CNN.com last night, I think.

BTW, Crash wasn't all that great of a movie, I can't believe it won as many awards as it did.

John Stewart was funny, although hollywood sucks and didn't think so.

Brokeback got a lot of awards, but wasn't that great. It didn't get best film.

Oscars suck.

Hillary Swank won last year :shrug:
