When Meryl Streep got the oscar, I thought they should recognize some other actress instead of her. But after realized the fact that it is her second best actress award other than one best supporting actress award, I thought she definitely deserved it. Second win from her 14 best actress nominations. one best supporting actress from 3 nomination. Overall 3 win from 17 nominations. Undoubtedly all time greatest.
The Artist win was not surprising considering the quality of the movie. IMO definitely best for this year. I could not say the same thing about last year's best picture though.
Only happy moment for me in yesterday's show is Woody Allen winning after a long time :notworthy:, of course the next is meryl streep winning for the third time after 17 nominations. But this time, somehow they could not keep the surprise element throughout. They gave first two oscars to Hugo which gave a clue it is going to win more technical categories. Same with the case with Meryl. When Billy Crystal introduced her, he said she won only two times out of 17 nominations and she is also nominated today, which again gave a big clue that she is going to win. Again, Artist when they started winning main categories, it was very obvious that they are going to win the Best picture also.

Even at their stage (Oscars), ARR composing a song and naming it in thamizh (sangamam) truly shows his heart. Shaashtaanga :notworthy: to ARR. :thumbsup:
Yeah was a huge surprise for me too. I did not read his tweet or NOV's post here before that. Was absolutely thrilled.Quote:

I too was surprised. I didn't watch Rango, but KF2 should have won. I even expected Adventures of Tintin (a movie I love a lot), but it was not even nominated. I believe 'Animation - Motion Capture' films like Polar Express, Christmas Carol, Tintin does not impress the Academy at all, I believe. Tintin was not even a hit unlike the other two films.
It is still a puzzle how Academy picked up Happy Feet for Cars in 2007. Happy Feet was such a horrible film, atleast to me.

ஆஹா..! தனது La Separation படத்திற்காக சிறந்த அயல் மொழித் திரைப்படத்துக்கான ஆஸ்கர் வென்ற இயக்குநர் ஃபர்ஹாடிக்கு நேற்று வாழ்த்து சொல்லி மின்னஞ்சல் செய்திருந்தேன். இரவோடு இரவாக நன்றி தெரிவித்தும் என் முயற்சிகளுக்கு வாழ்த்து சொல்லியும் ரிப்ளை செய்திருக்கிறார். 'ஃபர்ஹாடி... சினிமாவைத் தவிரவும் உங்களிடம் கற்றுக்கொள்ள ஏராளம் இருக்கிறது..!'
The Artist, like The King's speech or Slumdog Millionaire, owes a lot to the producers/distributors who distribute/promote screeners for the jury. So well done Harvey Weinstein. :clap:
Found it to be boring this year. Thrilled for Farhadi. Dragon tattoo won for editing, so deservedly. Hugo, I'm yet to watch..
It'd have been nice for Portman to award Oldman. And in her speech, she noted the nuance & restraint portrayal of coldest(Antithetical of the coolest) spy. Two decade past since she witnessed live the tour-de-force performance of pill-popping murderous DEA agent. That was so loud that it'd break Smiley's owl-rimmed spectacles.
Watched the repeated telecast last night. Slightly disappointed with Crystal. First Oscar show that I stopped watching early. Yawn.

Will Indian original work ever shine at the Oscars?
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/e...w/17981688.cms
Hearty congratulations to Bombay Jayashri on getting Oscar nomination for "Pi's Lullaby" - Original Song, from Life of Pi. I would love to see her win it. :clap::notworthy:
This is what it is to take Indian music to the world..rather than becoming wannabes/sounding Western/un-Indian to draw others attention.:notthatway:
My Telugu speaking colleague liked this song "instantly" when he watched the movie last month and told me about it the next day at work..not knowing it was a Tamil song sung by Bombay Jayashri. Very glad this is for a Tamil lullaby, which sounds like one, able to retain the originality..without losing it's nativity. ;-)
Thereafter, he has played it multiple times at work during late evenings ;)
:clap: and indebted to Director Ang Lee and Music Composer Michael Danna for their understanding and conviction in making it sound the way it does, without losing out on the regional lullaby flavour/Indianness in it.
Should be taken as a good (implicit) lesson for our Directors and MDs ;) After all, it is never easy to even think to begin and end an English/international movie with a lullaby in an Indian regional language (over 3 mins). Reminds me of Bala and IR's Naan Kadavul starting with a Hindi bhajan (Maa Ganga - over 3 mins) and ending with a Sanskrit devotional (Om Shivoham - over 6 mins) :clap::notworthy:
A lesson to remember. :)

"Mychael Danna got to listen to Jayashri’s rendition of ‘Omana thingal kidavo..’, a traditional Malayalam lullaby in the album ‘Vatsalyam’, one of her famous albums with traditional lullabies in various Indian languages. He had also heard a few other songs by her and approached her for Pi’s lullaby."Quote:

"Before My Time" from Chasing Ice and "Suddenly" from Les Miserables have minimalistic music and are simple (as well!). :roll:
"Everybody Needs A Best Friend" from Ted seems to be cute more for the teddy than the song itself. :sigh2: I mean, all that is familiar and heard before (kind of) music. "Skyfall" from Skyfall is the only one with some dramatic music, but that is again like our own "Yaar endru therigiradha", more of 'popular' music and 'expected' in a Bond movie. If crescendo moments alone matter (i.e., besides whatever lobbying), then Oscar will go to Skyfall.
Otherwise, I feel the real contest will be between "Before My Time" and "Pi's Lullaby". What could work for "Pi's Lullaby" is that it is 'different' (for them!), captures the 'nativity' of another 'culture' and presents their 'lullaby' :musicsmile: in a type of world/'collaborative' music :cool2:. It seems director Ang Lee said, "a child sleeps not because it feels sleepy, but because it feels safe (read 'peace')". This punch dialogue has some truth in it and the song sure sounds peaceful and soothing, which is why my Telugu colleague liked it (I was surprised :shock: he liked it, as he normally listens to Telugu masala/kutthu songs like Kevvu Kaeka and Sakkubai garam chaai :ashamed:).
When watching in a theater, "Pi's Lullaby" sure succeeds in drawing the audience into the movie, right from the first frame, by creating the right ambience (as some have expressed, apt for reflecting Pi's childhood, growing up in a peaceful/safe environment).
Avanga kudukuraaLo illayo, we can give now. And the Oscar for Music (Original Song) goes to "Pi's Lullaby" by Mychael Danna and Bombay Jayashri. :notworthy::victory:
Our songs, their movies
