For those of you who didn’t stay up to watch all of the Oscars or who just couldn’t watch every minute, here’s a recap of last night’s winners. I watched most of the ceremony, although I had to take an hour off to watch Six Feet Under. I’m glad I got to see Adrien Brody’s acceptance speech, which was the most surprising and moving I’d seen in a long time. Roman Polanski winning best director for The Pianist, the film for which Adrien Brody won his Oscar, was also quite a surprise. I really want to see Adaptation; Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep were nominated for their roles, and Chris Cooper won for Best Supporting Actor, supplying another moving acceptance speech. Finally, although I don’t necessarily with agree with Michael Moore, who got booed off the stage when he protested the war (although I agree with his assessment of the last election), I still admire him as a filmmaker and as someone who had the balls to say what he felt.
Update: ESPN’s Page2 has a damn funny recap of the entire ceremony that I just now read. Take a look…
