Watanabe Ken

[The Man]

And the winner is . . .

SPOILER IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH TONIGHT'S ACADEMY AWARDS

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.

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??!! I would've thought that the Last Samurai would've taken at least something home.

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

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.

3Peace...

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..

[lamxlam]

...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!

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*

Nah, that's just how I feel. Perhaps you feel differently?

22?????? Oh man. I pretty much graduated college before you were born.... How's that for old?? To me, it's only a number... I still consider myself a juvenile with adult responsibilities...
