Return of the King Oscar Predictions (and post-Oscar Comments) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't understand why people who were in the movies cannot even get in to see the Oscars, yet people who had nothing to do with the movies up there that year get a billion pictures of them taken on the red carpet.

But now that that's said, we really are a paranoid bunch. Why did Sean Penn get a standing ovation? Because he's a much loved actor who many people thought deserved the Oscar. Why was Sofia Coppola given a standing ovation? Because she's a female director and scriptwriter, a rarity, and her family is big in that business.

When a movie wins every award to be won (it seems) people's hands are gonna get tired from all the clapping. And as someone else said, NO best picture gets standing ovations.
