Nattens Oscarsgala bjöd kanske inte på särdeles många överraskningar mer än att Martin Scorcese fick en Oscar för första gången i sitt filmliv.



Ämnet är viktigt. Att visa upp en av de grymmaste diktatorerna under efterkrigstiden.
Enligt uppgift dödade han 300 000 människor under åren 1971-79!

Rent generellt kan man säga att denna gala kanske i glamourhänseende fortfarande har sitt intresse men ur ren cineastisk synvinkel är en sedan många år död.
Det är oftast ett amerikanskt mästerskap eller anglo-amerikanskt d:o och de verkligt intressanta filmerna hittar man sällan vid denna galatillställning.
English:
"And the Oscar goes to....."!
The Academy Award - 'the Oscars' - the 'gala' - is over.
No surprises tonight, with the exception of Martin Scorcese.
The fact that he won was not surprising from the standpoint that he often has been nominated in the past but never succeeded in winning this 'trophy'.
On the other hand - without being able to comment in detail on this film 'The Departed' as i haven't seen it - I don't believe it is his best film ever, not even one of his best.
Not least as it is a remake of another film, 'Infernal Affairs'.
He probably got the Award for 'long and faithful duty' within the film industry or for the fact that he should have been awarded before, several times.
Helen Mirren won the Oscar for best Actress in a leading Rôle and this was not surprising either.
After seing the movie - 'The Queen' - I agree that she was worth the prize.
Her acting and look was not only very portrait like but she also managed in making us as viewers to get the impression that she revealed something behind the 'mask' Queen Elizabeth II.
Forest Whitaker in 'The Last King of Scotland' - about Idi Amin - was rewarded an Oscar for best Actor in a Leading Rôle and this was not surprising either.
He has already been awarded for this rôle prior to the Oscar.
I haven't seen the film but it got good reviews, not least concerning his acting and Whitaker have done a lot of good acting through the years why he most certainly is well worth this distinction.
The subject is important though. Displaying one of the most cruel post World War II dictators.
According to some figures he killed 300 000 people between 1971-79!
On a whole one can conclude that from a cinephile standpoint this 'gala' is fairly uninteresting as it always - more or less - has been 'The American Championship of Films'.
It is dead as a promotion for qualitative and diversified films on a wide scale and world wide.
As a show it still attracts attention though.
To find interesting films one have to look elsewhere.
