is that not called Belleville Rendevous? or is that a different movie altogether?

Best original score, is when music is composed for a movie, without words,eg. classical or modern classical are both scored. There is alot of it in Alias.

The french title is "Les triplettes de Belleville", and apparently the american one is "The triplets of Belleville".

Ok, so for Best Original Score : THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (New Line Cinema)

I think she is presenting a little thing about the technical awards that she hosted. Or was that for some other awards show?
 
I'm rooting for:

*Best foreign language film:
THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS (A quebecker movie who won 3 Cesars in France last week)

*Best song:
BELLEVILLE RENDEZVOUS (A song composed by a quebecker)

*Best actor:
SEAN PENN (Mystic River was a disturbing movie)

*Best original screenplay:
THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS (But I'm pretty sure that Lost in Translation will win)

Heehee!!! I'm in total agreement.. I really don't care who wins for best actor but I hope Bill Murray does! :D
 
The one that is a total indecision for me is for best actress!! I haven't seen Monster, but I want to see it, and Charlize just deserves the award!! But then there's also Keisha Castle-Hughes!! She did so well in Whale Rider!! She's younger than me and was able to take on a role like that!!! Plus she's just gorgeous (well so is Charlize)!! I don't know...I can't decide for that category.
 
Jen is presenting the highlights of the Sci-tech Oscars that she hosted on Valentine's Day, and she should be arriving any minute! (Joan Rivers is already so annoying - even though I want to see Jen interviewed, I almost hope for her sake that she can sneak past Joan.)
 
I'm majorly rooting for Renee Zelwegger for Cold Mountain and Sean Penn for Mystic River (although if Jude Law wins - that'd be fine by me too) ^_^
 
Aww!!! Did you see JG's interview? I love how she said they had to alter her dress "you know, cause of my big bosoms and all.." She's so funny! Her dress is kind of a tangerine color - it's a vintage Valentino. Joan Rivers was even nice to her! She really looks beautiful.. (Didn't see MV, if he was there. I doubt he is.)
 
i saw her interview with joan rivers she was sooo cute!!! i luved her dressed it was so pretty! but its so sad that mv didnt go o so sad :( (probly at the kings game)
 
jen look so good!! love the color of her dress! havent seen a full view of her but she looks stunning! ugh im watchin the arrivals on the WB or something and the people interviewing suck ass and this b**** woman who is the fassion critic or whatever sucks too!! she is so bashin everyone and i want to knock the s*** out her! anyways im just really annoyed and hope the oscars are not to predictable!
