You mean ronnie?

He left after a disagreement

Check out page 4 of this thread

Again, no surprises with Forest Whitaker for Best Actor for The Last King of Scotland

I'm happy for him

That was cheesy with those 3........I wonder whos going to win best director lol

Me too. I can't wait until I see advertisements for The Shield stating "Academy Award Winner Forest Whitaker"

MARTY !!!!

Wow, look at those 4 guys together

I F*CKING KNEW IT! CONGRATS MARTY, IT'S WAY OVERDUE BUDDY!!

No real upsets tonight

MARTIN SCORSESE WINS BEST PICTURE TOO!

Now the partying begins!!

I'm probably one of the few who thinks Scorsese is superior to Coppola, Spielberg, and without a doubt Lucas.

I'm glad The Departed got the better awards and this is one of the better awards I've seen. Between Scorsese and Morricone, it's the year of the guineas for the awards.

Well, I left this thread because of some people that were being jerks. Not Don Cardi, he was cool. I didn't care for Flags of Our Fathers, but so what? its just movies.

I was conducting a live blog, 7 hours straight(damn!) for AndersonVision. Check it out where I continued after I boycotted this thread of my own creation.

I know that me, Pizzaboy, Mignon, DonAndrew, and great Irishman are just so damn pleased that Scorsese has finally won. Decades of fustration off his shoulders now...and man, you watch his speech? He almost lost his shit, real emotional and such. Being with his fellow "Brats" of the 1970s added wood to the fire.

I liked that he applauded his fans hoping for years that he wins. What a nice touch.

I don't know if THE DEPARTED deserved Best Picture at all, but I don't care honestly. Except I did win 20 bucks on my Best Picture bet.

However, what I cared about, was Scorsese winning...and it happened.

Good night folks!

I gotta say Ronnie, you did well with your picks.

I guess Alan Arkin was just a mild upset but you still had him.

I'm another.

Martin's films have his distinctive touch: it's not crime drama. It's filled with confident film making, suspense, tension, a love for cinema. The man is a god of cinema and tonight was his night for one of his best films.

I agree with Sully and Hagen.

Thanks Pizzaboy.

All I know is that I can nag my fellow Oscar predicter for the next few days:

"You know, I was right about LETTERS winning Sound Effects Editing and Arkin"

Then he'll drive over to my house and beat me up. Until then, I have free reign. Woo!
