daslied Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hey cool, I finally won something! I can't believe I voted against PS Hoffman. Should I thank the Academy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 only a brief thank you will be allowed before we play you off i'm so thrilled with the results i have to say. my list was who i thought would win rather than who i wanted to win. crash deserved to win thoroughly but i was afraid that it would miss out because it had been released so long ago! and philip seymour hoffman is a fantastic actor so i'm delighted he won too! also reese witherspoon deserved her oscar in my opinion, because she did an amazing job in 'walk the line'. so overall, i'm pretty happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
