A night to remember? Most certainly not. A night to forget? Not again. Although there were more stars in the Shrine hall (Serbian: shrine) where Oscar said goodbye for the ages, there were more stars than in any celestial constellation, the charisma that spread to the inhabitants of the planet who followed this spectacle with small screens and the Internet was weak for tradition. these awards. Not even the charming debutant-host Steve Martin managed to shake the strict dramaturgy of the play in which everyone knows the end, that is, that the Titanic will still sink.
ROCK AND ROLL LOLITA: Relative surprises came from the failures of Golden Globe winners Tom Hanks and Kate Hudson. It might be too much for Hanks to win his third Oscar for An exile, which would place him in the spaces of the film Elesian Fields. Kate Hudson, the Hollywood child, daughter of Goldie Hawn, was unlucky enough to take another step on the road to stardom for the inspired role of rock 'n' roll Lolita, in the film Step do slave Cameron Crowe, but the dream factory is definitely under her feet. Perhaps the Oscar will soon smile at her as a compensation for this loss, because it is a well-known practice of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which remembers as long as some football referees who, after fouling a team, award a penalty in the ninety-first minute in an effort to repair.
GLADIATORY POBEDA: Julia Roberts, who took the industry by storm with hit after hit (and is currently at the top of the most watched list with a new movie and in tandem with Brad Pitt), waited her five minutes and charmingly played a naïve who thanks everyone for her well-deserved success broke through the term provided for tears of joy and speech. But in moderation, as in a good play. This hot woman won an award for the role of the rebel Erin Brockovich in the movie of the same name, while the real Erin, according to the latest news, went bankrupt. Another proof that the movie is definitely larger than life.

FUN FORMULA: If you were betting on Ang Lee and his strong nominations, you were naive, because this wise Chinese from Taiwan, educated in America, knew that the ultimate limit of reach for ... Hidden zmaja award for best film outside the English-speaking world, and that the laws of gravity, which do not apply in his film and series about Coyote and Racebird, and how they apply in life and Hollywood.
Although he was the winner of the raffle called the Oscars, Ridley Scott was not overly happy as, again predictably, he was overtaken in the race for best director by Steven Soderbergh, a two-time nominee for the films Erin Brockovich i trafficfic. With the same initials as Steven Spielberg, but a dramatically different career, he unexpectedly shined in Cannes with the film Sex, lies i video trachea, which was fiercely promoted by Wim Wenders. Wandering the world of art film for the next decade, Soderbergh learned his lesson and discovered the fun formula of an elitist concept shrouded in big-budget polish. It's a lesson that Lars von Trier must learn if he ever wants to win an Oscar after the Palme d'Or.
Like in a winning movie Gladiator, after the Oscar night, the winners go on a well-deserved rest, as does the audience who won their games, not to mention the bread. It is certain that the film and the Oscars have entered the new millennium hand in hand and that the films we watch are increasingly dependent on usually unknown people who create magic sitting in front of a computer screen creating creatures from their imaginations.
