Tami Lane, a Peoria resident and Bradley Alumna, won an Oscar last night for her makeup work in the film "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
"Walk the Line" had a poor showing at the award show that would normally jerk-off to big budget biopics. Reese Witherspoon won the Best Actress trophy without making herself ugly ::cough:: Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron.
George Clooney took the award for Best Supporting Actor in "Syriana." His film "Good Night, and Good Luck" walked away with zero. A travesty. Two (often overlooked) actors took home Best Actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Best Supporting Actress, Rachel Weisz, statues.
This is about the moment I threw up...
Nicholson looked more surprised than anyone.
That's right..."Crash." Best Picture of 2005. The year that brought audiences such great films as "Good Night, and Good Luck," "Capote," "Batman Begins," "The Squid and the Whale," "A History of Violence," "The Constant Gardener," "Match Point," hell even "Brokeback Mountain."
Anything but Crash. The Academy hit a new low last night. Lower than when they gave the statue to "Gladiator."
What Paul Haggis should have said.
The immediate reaction from the President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences...
