...want to write about an exciting evening at the Oscars - about how "Chicago" became the first musical since 1969 to win Best Picture, and how Nicole Kidman and Catherine Zeta-Jones, as predicted, got to nuzzle the Actress statuettes to their respectively slim and ample bosoms. I want to celebrate a night of surprises, with dark horses galloping past favorites toward the finish line on the Kodak Theatre stage: "The Pianist" for Adrien Brody (the first man under 30 to win Best Actor) and Roman Polanski (at 69, the oldest to win Best Director), plus richly deserved prizes to Hayao...
...Bird of Peace ribbon; it's tr?s Hollywood to blend fashion and statement. Academy President Frank Pierson expressed the hope: "Let's have peace soon, and let us live without war."

...HOURS. This adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer-winning novel is unapologetically Oscar bait, backed by a triumvirate of A-list actresses (Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore).

...HOURS. This adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer-winning novel is unapologetically Oscar bait, a solemn, century-spanning “what is life?” treatise backed by a triumvirate of A-list actresses (Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore) and directed by Billy Elliot vet Stephen Daldry. Yet for a film of its ostensible weight, The Hours certainly takes easy shots at its lead trio—three colossally boring straw women who rediscover their lost vitality in drearily obvious ways as the picture progresses.
