Go Morgan. Go Morgan. Go!

[Kire]

I'm just a stupid, slovenly boy compared to him.

[Lisabtrucking]

1. I'm sooooo happy he won too, and he was my pick for the

best supporting actor, on the Oscar score board. Haray!

[Kire]

2. He won the argument with Clint Eastwood about the holes in his socks.

best buddies forever

that clinched it for me

[Pithlet]

3. Oops. I'm going to have to get off DU for now.

I'm TiVoing it for later, to watch after kiddos go to bed.

4. So deserving, can't believe this is his first. -eom

[Kahuna]

5. I thought he won for Driving Miss Daisy.. Am I wrong?

:shrug:

[Ekirh]

6. "nods" yah

He didn't win for Miss Daisy, but I can't remember who got it instead.

[blueblitzkrieg]

7. Yup, tonight was his first Oscar win.

His fourth nomination I think they said.

[Kire]

8. maybe now they'll cast him in a romantic lead

or does Driving Miss Daisy count as that?

[ktowntennesseedem]

9. I know he was nominated, and I thought he won that one, too.

But I'm almost certain I heard them say this was his first. I'll look into that to make sure.

11. doublechecked, and only found 3 oscar nominations, no wins

until last night

10. Morgan and Cate finally awarded after they were wrongly snubbed!!

Morgan should have won for Shawshank Redemption (Tom Hanks won for Forrest Gump) and Cate Blanchett should have won for Elizabeth (Gywneth Paltrow won for Shakespeare in Love).

Finally they both one what they should have won years ago.

I had both of them for my Oscar Pick'em pull. Ironically they were both last minute changes from the 2 in Sideways.


BTW - Daniel Day Lewis won for My Left Foot the year that Freeman was nominated for Driving Miss Daisy. I won't argue this one - Lewis was brilliant that year!
