Today's the big night. (Please excuse the lag, as there's 16 hours' time difference between Hong Kong and the Kodak Theater.) Fortunately, I will get to see the primetime telecast of the Academy Awards tonight. Till then, must make conscious effort to avoid seeing any Oscar updates on the net.
Managed to see Munich, Brokeback Mountain and Capote over the past week. And thought they were okay, good and great respectively. If Munich is given all the attention because it's based on actual events, and Brokeback Mountain is worth all the hype because of its controversial theme, then Capote really should've gotten more nominations because it's all of the above. Philip Seymour Hoffman played a much more convincing arrogant gay (very Elton John) than Heath Ledger played the hesitant closet gay (very George W Bush).
A look into my crystal ball tells me the Oscar goes to:
Performance by an actor in a leading role: Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Capote"
Performance by an actor in a supporting role: Jake Gyllenhaal in "Brokeback Mountain"
Performance by an actress in a leading role: Felicity Huffman in "Transamerica"
Performance by an actress in a supporting role: Michelle Williams in "Brokeback Mountain"
Achievement in directing: "Brokeback Mountain" Ang Lee
Best motion picture of the year: "Brokeback Mountain"
Adapted screenplay: "Brokeback Mountain"
Best animated feature film of the year: "Howl's Moving Castle" by Hayao Miyazaki
Original screenplay: "Match Point" written by Woody Allen
