Watanabe Ken

And the winner is . . .

:yell:SPOILER IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH TONIGHT'S ACADEMY AWARDS:yell:

Looks like Mr. Watanabe lost out to Tim Robbins (for Mystic River). Oh, well . . . at least Ken is "Oscar jinx"-free (the pop phenomenon that implies that once an acteur wins one of these, somehow, s/he drops out of sight from films) . . . for now.

Watanabe-san was a long shot anyways... It was good to see him on the show, though... A very classy, dignified person. :applaud:

It looks like that Robbins will win..but that's ok I think Robbins also deserve it because of his superbs performance in "Mistyc River" then again...let's just see..the Jury's decision.

I wanted Ken Wantanabe to win... It looks like Last Samurai lost in all its nominations... ;) oh well. Stiff competition this year with Lord of the Rings winning everything.

I don't get the hype on Lord of the Rings. I mean, is it really THAT good??!! :crazy: I would've thought that the Last Samurai would've taken at least something home. :rolleyes:

So sad that Ken Watanabe did not win the oscar. Tim Robbin win instead...but at least he was nominated. Gambatte Ken Watanabe... :(

Never read the books, never saw any of the movies... Ho hum. :beaten: :sweat:

Haha....

I didn't even wish to watch it even if someone gave the ticket to me free... it just doesn't get my attention.

Just glad that at least Ken was nominated. :hehe:

3Peace...

:applaud: :applaud: I still give Ken a hand, he was sooo wonderful to attend! I think his prize will come in the form of the projects he will get in the future..

I pray his divorce doesn't bancrupt him..

...Ken loses in Oscar...

But still happy to see he steps on the red carpet, sitting in the Kodak theatre, and clapping hands when others scrap the awards.

I am watching the Oscar Live in the whole morning, glad to see Ken appears on TV a several times. He is sitting just in front of the group of the actors of Lord of The Rings. Ken is having a very good seat!

Yeah, I am proud of Ken !

Feel like I'm 40-50 already! :beaten:

Kind of scary too. I mean, life is going by pretty fast now. Can't beleive I'm 22 (going on 23 this year), when I can still remeber what I did in kindergarden. So I wouldn't be suprised if I woke up tomorrow to find out I'm 50.

Just some thoughts on getting old............... *sucks sucks sucks*
