i firmly believe that the best oscar ceremony in recent year be in 2003 for two reason represent 1 ) host steve martin be at his most witty represent i saw the teamster help michael moore into the trunk of his limo and i will well not mention the gay mafia in case i wake up with a poodle head in my bed 2 ) surprise winner represent no one have adrien brody down for best actor ( genuine applause ) or roman polanski for best director ( genuine jeer and boo ) but they win last year award ceremony wasn not too bad but there be little in the way of surprise and i be happy to see return of the king sweep the award even if it wasn not the best in the trilogy ( fellowship be much good ) but what let the bbc coverage down be jonathan ross get a few of his sycophantic mate round and pretend they be hilarious when they be anything but . so when i hear sky be do the coverage for british tv i be expect barry norman and mark kermode to be do the link and but instead we end up with jamie theakston and sharon osbourne . oh gawd if british tv be desperate for film critic ( obviously they be ) i be sure both bob the moo and theo robertson will happily fly over to la to give their honest opinion on the winner and loser chris rock wasn not too bad and but he no steve martin while the location seem to resemble a sport hall with seat put in . not much of a glitzy arena in my opinion . the main problem i have with the ceremony be the format with the minor oscar hand out to the winner who be sit in their seat . there no such thing a a minor oscar and just because the award be for best animate short or best costume design theyre a well deserve a best picture or best director . all the winner should be allow to march up to the podium . what a bunch of arrogant snob the academy be become and i quite agree with the comment that this format be disgraceful and if it wasn not for the surprise this could possibly have be the bad ceremony in history . a for the award themselves best support actress cate blanchett . no great surprise for a competitive category best support actor morgan freeman . no real complaint since freeman be one of america great living character actor best actor jamie foxx . most predictable award of the night . yawn best actress hilary swank . major surprise since everyone think annette benning be go to win simply down to academy politics but swank do deserve it and give the best speech of the night best director clint eastwood . major surprise since everyone think scorsese be go to get the award simply because he would never win one . actually i be glad about this because if he do not deserve it for taxi driver and rag bull or goodfellas he do not deserve it for the aviator best film million dollar baby . again another major surprise since everyone think the academy would split the award for best director and best picture while i think the hollywood friendly plot of the aviator would have make it a dead cert for best picture while mdb controversial subject matter would have turn a lot of voter off what these award perhaps illustrate be that this year the voter have decide to ignore oscar politics and genuinely give out award to people who deserve it something they haven not do in the past and i mean a beautiful mind beat the fellowship of the ring for gawd sake . and long may the academy vote with their head instead of their heart .
