Results of Oscars, 80th Academy Awards
You all most likely already know the results but we somehow didn’t post the final details of this years Oscar ceremony and I’m sure it will create a lot of buzz and discussion in the comments: Two of the most imaginatively twisted minds in modern film, Joel and Ethan Coen, completed their journey from the fringes to Hollywood’s mainstream on Sunday as their crime saga “No Country for Old Men” won a leading four Academy Awards, including best picture. The Coens’ brooding, bloody tale of violence in a desolate corner of west Texas was the American standard-bearer for an Oscar show that otherwise had an international flair. All four acting prizes went to Europeans: Frenchwoman Marion Cotillard, the best-actress winner for “La Vie En Rose”; Spaniard Javier Bardem, who took supporting actor for “No Country”; and Brits Daniel Day-Lewis and Tilda Swinton, he claiming his second best-actor honor for “There Will Be Blood,” she winning supporting actress for “Michael Clayton.”
Adding to the international Oscar flavor, the animation winner was a U.S. film set in a Paris restaurant, “Ratatouille.” The best-song recipient was a tune written by the Irish and Czech stars of a micro-budgeted romance set in Dublin, “Once.” The globe-trotting thriller “The Bourne Ultimatum” swept all three of its categories, film editing, sound editing and sound mixing. Other winners included three films set around Britain and Europe: “Atonement” (music score), “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” (costume design) and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (art direction). As singer Edith Piaf in “La Vie En Rose,” Cotillard became the first performer ever to win an Oscar for a French-language film. Backstage, she crooned a bit of a Piaf song in French and described the task she had in playing the singer from her fiery teens to her fragile 40s. You can watch the whole ceremony in the release we posted few moments ago – and we will probably bring you even more Oscar-related releases soon.

O how great the oscars! Ratatouille was “Ok” good graphics tho.
thanks
thanks
Javier Bardem!! from spain!
See you
none of these movies where all that great. every year the movies get worse. Hollywood has no clue.
@ papasin
I Agree with that. Maybe they dont want to improve the movies cause everyone downloads them and not buy’s them. lol
underdog was the best movie this year!!
Into the wild!!
who cares?
pants
didn’t lindsay lohan win anything? Oh wait…that was the Razzies.
anyone cant tell me (or send a link tutorial how to download from usenet without usenext crap)
THNKS
“anyone cant tell me”
Yep. You are right. Anyone CAN’T tell you.
Javier Bardem played the best bad guy I’d ever seen. I’m glad he won!
The Bourne Ultimatum ftw!!!! it was a great way to end the trilogy
best quote:
“…if you were in your office right now wed be having this conversation face to face”
Best special effects to The Golden Compass??Should’ve been Transformers,no doubt!
300 didn’t get even a single nomination.It should’ve been nomainated for special effects.
Nice to see Bourne Ultimatum winning a few though.
There will be Blood should have won. It’s easily the best movie of this decade.
And 300’s effects weren’t anything special at all. Slow motion after slowmotion.
Audio and editing Oscars went to right movie. Bourne Ultimatom.
Daniel Day-Lewis role on There will be Blaod is just outstanding. I’m still Amazed.
Shame Assassination of Jesse James won nothing
How come I’ve never heard of “Taxi to the Dark Side”? 0_0
I’m glad to see No Country For Old Men win big. That was one of the best movies I had ever saw and never even heard of it until the scr was posted here. Thanks x2!
300 should have received best picture. It wasn’t even nominated
There Will Be Blood should have won best picture. No Country was great, but TWBB was superior imo
i was really dissapointed that none of the songs from into the wild were nominated
(
Much like every other oscar awards, lots of movies that were complete shyte got nominated and stuff. Thankfully, a REAL MOVIE won best picture, NCFOM.
But, I ask, where was Shoot Em Up? Where was Superbad? Oh ya, they don’t pick em by how good they are, they pick em by how high brow they are, how high class. You’ll never see an Oscar awards show that awards the best movies that everyone likes. Just the movies that the old, rich stuffy artards that do the judging like. I’m truly amazed that NCFOM won, I thought for sure the Elizabeth movie or that artarded teen movie Juno would win.
@17
how do you know that? why is it closing down? got a link to the page to prove it?

18 & 21- agreed, there will be blood was my favorite of ‘07 and perhaps one of the best in the past several years. I just saw it a second time the other day and noticed moreso how flawless the movie was. The acting and direction was incredible.
Loved all the movies for this year. Thanks RLSlog for bringing them to me. I loved the part when Once actress and singer Marketa was called back to say her thank you speech. If it wasn’t done i would have been angry with the Academy. To be honest for the first time i felt the oscars were for the art that is movie making. La viva en rose…. gotta see that, i thought ellen page was wonderful and she was a fav, but the art was put b4 fame so marion cortilad won…..Forgive me if the names were misspelled.. It was fun watching the Oscars. Like the acceptance speech marketa it is possible to achieve what they say impossible…..
check out this its really cool

I’m glad ‘Once’ got something for best song ….. for such a low budget filum its easily the best i’ve seen in a damn while … Hope Glen keeps up the good work!
I am glad that some of you are on the same page as me.
It does seem like movies are getting worse every year. And it it is very strange indeed to see a movie like “300″ not getting nominated for any category. It was one of the best pictures ever made.
And that “No country..” has won is just shamefull really.
How can you compare a movie like “No country…” to say a classic like “The Godfather”. And still it has won one oscar more than “The Godfather”. It is a real outrage.
bring back billy crystal
Does anybody know if 12 (2007) was released on the internet?
torrent or download links? or at least the name of the release…
There Will Be Blood was robbed IMO. it is the best movie in the last 10-15 years.
Imperium_Romanum_CLONEDVD-PROCYON
there will be blood is best in decade?
It was not that good movie imho…
Acting of Lewis was totaly awesome and flawless, but the scenar and story missed something… all the time in that movie i missed some heading… things there just flow…
the bigger robbery was not nominating Johnny Greenwood’s score for There Will Be Blood. it was deemed ineligible because it contains two minutes of music written for his 2006 experimental symphony.
My local paper had an interesting “why do people even care about the oscars anymore” article today. I personally dont care anymore, even though i love John Stewart
the hook cuts deep with there will be blood – film making of the highest quality. watched it 4 days ago and it’s still messing with my head.
RIP stage6
I guess it would be kinda interesting if you (rlslog) could bring us the “other” of side the oscars – or movies -, particularly the Best Short Film, Live Action and Best Short Film, Animated categories. Just a suggestion though.
Could we get a post with links to all the torrents for nominated and winning movies in each category. That would be AWESOME!
I second that bob !
300 is 2 years old, of course it wasn’t mentioned
The Best Foreign movie is just up “Tropa Elite” the staff should post it. Its amazing, but didnt fit the polical message of the Oscars -

Day-Lewis is Irish, not British!!
Daniel Day Lewis was born in London, he is very much British. He just lives in Ireland now.
Anyone uploaded the short films? Or the short animated films? I’d like to see them, just to see what won.
@45 It was actually released march 2007
Its visual effects should have been nominated especially when The Golden Compass won that category. But other than that it shouldn’t have been nominated for any other categories. I think “Meet the Spartans” would have won more awards than 300
I found those foreign films interesting. I always prefer to watch films in other languages because the emotion of the characters comes thru much better, when you have no clue how a line’s suppose to sound. With that said, anyone know if anyone group released any of those foreign films?
The little jem Once was the best movie of the year. Congrats to them. To bad they were not nominated for best picture.
@45 D.D.Lewis certainly does not sound Irish.
i cant believe these fanboys gushing over 300. if they were actually homosexuals (seriously) i will understand. but there’s nothing ’special’ about oversaturated comic-book graphics. not to mention how awful and infantile the script was. sorry.
on the other hand, i feel awful for pta. twbb had some pretty dammn good moments, but i think it was overall what they call a ‘flawed masterpiece’. you can see the look on his face when they announced the best director. but come to think of it, coens had won best dir thrice! (most ever) at cannes already. it wouldnt look good if pta got awarded the oscar before they were (not that its impossible for them to dismiss genuine talents far too long (marty) or even entirely (kubrick))
I’ll Drink Your Milkshake!!!!!!!!!
I cannot stand the oscars. A load of mediocre talentless fools patting each other on the back for their own self gratification isn’t something that interests me. Also the movies are getting so crap!!
No Country for Old Men./ what a heap of steaming turd that was and yet it won so much??
As for ‘300′ the people gushing over thjat obviously have no idea…
Ever since Tarantino, movies have gone downhill…
Hollywood is guff.
is there any poster for all movie oscr together

Actually Oscars means a lot to the industry – which is the same as saying nothing. Who cares, they never get it right, but No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood are great movies, Oscars or not.
I know who killed me was the best film made this year. Linsley Lohan in lace panties. YES!!!!!!!!
There will be blood was sooooo boring. I mean geezus, I saw it 3 times and fell asleep midway for 3 times. I am so glad it didn’t win. I never even blinked for “No Country for Old Men”. That movie rightfully won.
