He deserved it & that's all that matters

Yay, Heath Ledger won an Oscar for his performance in The Dark Knight. It sucks that TDK wasn't up for anything much bigger than visuals, editing, etc...BUT just him winning makes me content. His family (father, mother, sister) accepted the award and it was really touching & sad. The 'celebrities' looked very sad too when they were filming the audience. It was a very intense few minutes but he deserved it & that's all that matters.

I watched the beginning of the show and then had to stop (but I was taping it anyways). Then I FINALLY got to his award & lemme tell you, the Oscars seemed so terrible. Yeah, the host (Hugh Jackman) was talking about a recession while there's tons & tons of freakin' crystals or diamonds hanging from the ceiling...WTF? But it wasn't just that THAT made me think the Oscars were terrible. It was mainly because I watched the Spirit Awards last night & this seemed so stiff & ridiculous compared to those-the Indepedent Film (aka: Spirit) Awards.

Why do I give in to the Oscars & think they mean so much? I really shouldn't but in the end, I'm just happy Heath Ledger got an Oscar for his wonderful performance as The Joker. That's all I was really hoping for tonight.~

No Need to Introduce a Lil' Anarchy :}

but of course Heath Ledger got an Oscar nomination for his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight. if he didn't that would be pure MADNESS! (and today so happens to be the anniversary of his death. kinda odd, hm?) and although the film didn't get nominated for Best Picture or Best Director...what do THEY know anyways?...it got a bunch of technical nominations. i think they said 8. which is really good...including cinematography and visual effects. what other film deserves to win those categories for goodness sake? well, cinematography award....(maybe that one deserves to go to something else. and that film is The Fall.). hm, i didn't read if The Fall got any noms. i'll have to check again, but i really hope it did. (ok, it didn't & i just say WTH!) see it peeps! AND for more info on all the award nominations, please check HERE.

oh yeah, i would like some more guesses for my Guessin' Games post. just because i know some of yous haven't (naughty, naughty!)...and cuz the more guesses, the merrier.;) i gotta go somewhere soon so maybe i'll post the answer in a little while. we'll see what happens. oh & happy-day-before-the weekend-begins. yay!~

Friendly Reminder To...

...watch the Golden Globes tonight at 7pm. you know why...^_^

UPDATE: darn them! 7pm is the red carpet-woo hoo...don't care about that really. 8pm is the actual show. here in detroit, that makes showtime in about 30 minutes...(anxious eve!!!)

SPOILER ALERT/UPDATE...and the winner is...Heath Ledger. yay yay & yay some more. HE totally deserved it. now i can stop watching it for the night. =]

*yeah, he does this tongue thing...creepy & curious, hm?!?

Don't Forget To Watch...

who's under that mask?!?...curiouser & curiouser...

...the Golden Globes this Sunday @ 7pm. if Heath Ledger doesn't win, there will be ANARCHY, Anarchy I say! no, but i would be very disappointed. no, shocked...cuz i think it was the BEST performance i saw last year. & the whole film was brilliant of course. 1st movie in a while to live up to the hype & then some.

soooo, Heath Ledger won at the Critics Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor (same award he's up for Sunday), and i was happy. :) oh & The Dark Knight won Best Action Film too, yay! but i was unhappy that The Dark Knight didn't win Best Ensemble at the CC Awards.:( should've definitely won that, hands down! what did win? MILK...ugh. why do those million & one films sneak in there at the last sec & snatch up all the awards?!? freakin' hate that. don't get me wrong, they may be very good films but this has happened time & time again...

& then i say..."what did come out in 2008 anyhow?!!" because, again, allllll these films come out right before all the awards shows. hm, wonder why those films do that? yeah, you know why! and then i forget about great (WONDERFUL), beautiful films that came out in '08 like The Fall. which i hope gets some Oscar nominations because it deserves SOMETHING. like i said in my post for it, it was like watching a remarkable painting come to life. AmaZING. but anyways, watch the Golden Globes...and if it's like it's been in the past, Supporting Actor category is usually the 1st award given. i hope so cuz i'm in MUCH anticipation!!! @_@

CANDY...Revisited

(above) Heath Ledger in the film CANDY

this is a really good film. i saw it last year & wanted to see it again. it's about a couple (heath ledger & abbie cornish) who are deeply in love with one another, as well as with a drug...heroin. it's a good story but sad. still both actors do a great job. this is my 2nd fave heath ledger film after The Dark Knight. he's so sweet & freakin' good in it. (oh & he gets to use his 'real voice' cuz it's an australian film too...geoffrey rush is also in it.)
rent it if you can. tragic & sad...but still GREAT. (oh, and heath looks REALLY cute in this one!)

Eve's Fave Film of 2008

ok peeps have you seen The Dark Knight yet? NO!?! well, here's a short clip (a minute & 10 seconds) of the joker's hostage scene. it's both funny & scary. well, that IS what the joker is all about. ha ha ha...

He Got Nominated!

i wasn't gonna post any more today, but i just found out Heath Ledger got a (very well-deserved) golden globe nomination for his performance as the joker in the dark knight. yay yay & yay some more. here's hoping he wins...and gets an ocsar nom too (and WINS!).

heres what i found online (assiociated press) about his nomination:

The year’s biggest hit, the Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight,” came in with strong awards buzz across the board but had only one nomination, supporting actor for Heath Ledger as the Joker. Ledger died of an accidental prescription drug overdose on Academy Awards nominations day last Jan. 22.
“This nomination is deeply appreciated and is not lost on those of us who continue to love and miss him,” said father Kim Ledger in a statement on behalf of the actor’s immediate family. “We are so proud that our boy’s work is being recognized in this way.”
“Heath was a friend of mine,” said actor Terrence Howard, a presenter at the nominations ceremony. “He gave his all in that film. I think he will win in that category. He’ll also get an Oscar.”
