Wah…
Bulan ini banyak juga yah yang ulang tahun
Kasih kado apa ya? *ngintip dompet*

Semuanya spesial…

“Apakah Brokeback Mountain dapat mempertahankan gelar yang diperolehnya dalam Golden Globe dan Orange BAFTA Awards? Atau ia harus mengakui keunggulan si kuda hitam, Crash? Ingat kejadian tahun lalu ketika The Aviator secara mengejutkan dipecundangi oleh Million Dollar Baby.”

Sepenggal paragraf diatas itu gw tulis di multiply gw sekitar pertengahan February lalu. Well… the prediction comes true huh? Ya, itulah puncak dari sedikit kejutan yang ada di 78th Annual Academy Awards yang baru aja kelar beberapa menit lalu.

Mengambil tema Back to Glamour (untuk mengenang kejayaan perfilman Amerika era 30-50an / era glamour), sebagian besar undangan datang ke acara yang digelar di Kodak Theater Hollywood itu dengan dress code berwarna hitam, emas atau tuxedo berdasi metalik.

Dari awal acara dimulai, para pemenang memang sesuai dengan yang diprediksikan oleh para pengamat dan pecinta film di seluruh dunia. Baru sekitar satu setengah jam kemudian terjadi kejutan saat kategori Best Achievement in Film Score diumumkan. John Williams, pelanggan Oscar kategori ini yang malam tersebut mendapat dua nominasi Best Score untuk Memoirs of Geisha dan Munich harus menyerah pada Gustavo Santaolalla lewat Borkeback Mountain. Lalu siapa yang bisa melupakan kemenangan lagu street hip hop soundtrack Hustle and Flow, It’s Hard Out There for a Pimp pada ajang super resmi ini. Semua orang pun keliatan banget excited dengan kemenangan lagu ini (8 Mile-nya Eminem yang juga menang beberapa tahun lalu masih terhitung ‘polite’).

Kejutan akhir tentu saja apa lagi kalo bukan kemenangan Crash yang mengalahkan Brokeback Mountain yang sepertinya sudah diatas angin. Ada yang bilang Crash menang karena isu sosial yang diangkat lebih global dan beragam. Sedangkan lainnya beranggapan kalau Brokeback kalah karena para voter di Akademi masih terlalu konservatif untuk dapat memilih para gay sebagai film terbaik. Konon, Lionsgate (distributor Crash) mengirim 130,000 kopi film ini kepada siapapun yang memiliki DVD player. “Satu-satunya cara agar dapat memenangkan Oscar adalah membuat filmmu ditonton,” begitu kata kritikus film terkenal, Emanuel Levy.

Well, apapun penyebabnya, ada satu hal menonjol pada Oscar kali ini, yaitu tidak adanya satu film dominan. Terhitung ada tiga film yang meraih 3 Oscar, yaitu Crash, Brokeback Mountain dan King Kong. Sementara Memoirs of a Geisha puas kebagian jatah 2 Oscar.

THE OSCARS

Between the ages of 18 and 21, a woman is like Africa or Australia. She is half discovered, half wild and naturally beautiful, with bush land around the fertile deltas.

Between the ages of 21 and 30, a woman is like America or Japan. Completely discovered, very well developed and open to trade, especially with countries with cash or cars.

Between the ages of 30 and 35, she is like India or Spain. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between the ages of 35 and 40, a woman is like France or Argentina. She may have been half destroyed during the war, but can still be a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between the ages of 40 and 50, she is like Yugoslavia or Iraq. She lost the war and is haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between the ages of 50 and 60, she is like Russia or Canada. Very wide, quiet, and her borders are practically unpatrolled but the frigid climate keeps people away.

Between the ages of 60 and 70, a woman is like England or Mongolia. She has a glorious and all conquering past, but alas, no future.

After 70, they become like Albania or Afghanistan. Everyone knows where she is, but no one wants to go there.

So… been any of those countries??
