Buzz Community Hiptobesquare's Favorite Oscar-Winning Movies Mar 6, 2010 3:00 PM This post comes from BuzzSugar Community member hiptobesquare , who submitted her favorite Oscar-winning films to the Movie Lists group. 1. My Fair Lady Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison absolutely dazzle me every single time I see this film. It has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, when we watched it on 2-VHS set. "I Could Have Danced All Night," "The Rain in Spain," and all the other wonderful songs make this movie worth the watch, over and over. 2. The Sound of Music I can not tell you how much I love this movie. Every part of it (though I could do without "Climb Every Mountain," my mom's favorite) is beautiful and so much fun. Even when they're running away from the Nazis. Christopher Plummer is bloody attractive (he has aged so well, as evidenced in The Last Station ) and Julie Andrews shines (every last inch of her performance is top notch). The kids are great, too. To see the rest of her favorites, just . 3. Breakfast at Tiffany's My favorite love story, and there is nothing that even compares to the ending, when Paul Varjak helps Holly find Cat. I love, also when they spend a day in idyllic 1960's NYC, and steal from the 5 and 10 store. I watch it whenever I'm sad and it picks me right back up. 4. Forrest Gump Life is, indeed, like a box of chocolates. I love this movie, I love Robin Wright, I love Tom Hanks. I live in Washington, DC, and I can not go to the Lincoln Memorial without thinking of Jenny running to Forrest. Also, the re-dubbed interviews and technical elements are so ahead of their time. 5. Casablanca Humphrey Bogart is one of my all time favorite leading men, so obtuse, but yet so endearing. He and Ingrid Bergman play out a killer love story, filled with quotable lines, and heartbreaking songs ("As Time Goes By"). 6. Shakespeare in Love I so wish this were true. As a person of the theatre, I find this even more wonderful. The costumes are lovely, Queen Elizabeth shines, and Colin Firth is exactly *not* the leading man. Joesph Fiennes oozes sex appeal and Gwyneth is radiant. 7. No Country for Old Men I didn't think I'd like this movie. The story is addicting, you really feel for Josh Brolin's character. The ending isn't even a little bit what you think it's going to be. The film is stunning and well acted. 8. The Departed I liked this move because for nearly the entire thing I had no idea what was going on. The ending was a bit much, but wow, what a story! 9. The Pianist Despite my love for this movie, I am not sure I could watch it again. It is graphic and dark, but also so beautiful. The music Adrien Brody's character plays helps the viewer escape from the grim Holocaust to a lighter, happier place. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do, even if it's only for the one time. 10. Babe Baa Ram Ewe, Sheep be true! It's cute, it's clever, it's a treat. At the end, when the farmer says, "That'll do, Pig," I get weepy. A classic, no doubt.

braddybradshaw 6 Reasons the Golden Globes Are Going to be Even Better This Year Jan 13, 2010 4:06 PM The Golden Globes have always been known as the party-loving stepchild to the Oscars, but the telecast can be hit or miss. I’m banking on this year’s version being even more entertaining than it’s been in the past (or so I hope) for a few key reasons.  1. Ricky Gervais is hosting He could just be the most hilarious Golden Globes host yet — well, he’s at least the first one since 1995. If last year was any indication, between his toting beer on stage and making a Holocaust joke at Kate Winslet, the guy clearly doesn’t give a sh*t, which makes for good TV. Plus, he’s beloved by the industry, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few funny on-stage gags where he teams up with his peers. How ‘bout a follow up to his 2008 Emmy-stealing bit with Steve Carell? 2. It’s live nationwide For the first time ever. That means us west-coasters no longer have to wait three hours for the telecast — or to try to stream the show from a shoddy website 3. (Hopefully) an acceptance speech by Gabourey Sidibe It would undoubtedly be the highlight of the night for me. She’s like the Hollywood fresh-faced newcomer who is actually genuine. I’m obsessed with her back story, her love for N*SYNC, and her performance in Precious . Did you hear about her acceptance speech at the National Board of Review Awards? She said, “Thank you, thank you, thank you. And George Clooney, let’s get a drink.” Anything that comes out of this girl’s mouth will be fascinating to watch. 4. More Animated Film nominations Which is good, because there are several worthy candidates in my mind, so I’m glad to see that there’s more room for them to get recognized (even though Up is probably a shoo-in.) 5. Kathryn Bigelow is going up against her ex-husband James Cameron for Best Director This is one of the awards I’ll be watching most closely. My guess is one of them is going to win the honor; the other is going to give really awkward death stares to the camera, which is going to make for awesome television. 6. Martin Scorsese is receiving the Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award Not that last year’s honoree Steven Spielberg wasn’t totally deserving, but I’ve always thought of Marty Scorsese as the underdog director of the industry. Even though he’s churned out Taxi Driver , Goodfellas , and Raging Bull , it took him nearly 45 years to get recognition with a Best Director Oscar (for The Departed ), and I actually got goosebumps when it finally happened. I’m looking forward to his additional kudos.
