Oscar Night 2006

Well, Oscar night has come and gone. I must say that the 'Crash' win over 'Brokeback Mountain' was shocking to say the least. Both movies were fantastic, but I think Brokeback Mountain will be the one to stand the test of time. What won't stand the test of time, however, is the victory of Brokeback's soundtrack over 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. Perhaps it's just the Academy's fallibility or maybe the vote got split with 'Munich' but 'Memoirs' not winning is just an atrocity.

My favorite moments from the show would probably have to be Reese Witherspoon's acceptance speech (it was very heartfelt and honest), the Political ad spoofs, the announcement of 'Crash' winning over 'Brokeback Mountain', or Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts. I've never been to Australia, but honestly, there has to be something in the water there. To illustrate my point, I've included a few photos of these ladies below.
