Best
Action Sequence
the
armrest grippers are
 |
"Plane
crash" THE AVIATOR Bravura editing and a terrifyingly "real" sequence |
 |
"Echo
Game" HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS Highly memorable. Exquisitely filmed, costumed, and staged. |
 |
"Bamboo
Forest" HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS The calm inside the storm. Inventive and gorgeous. |
 |
"Doctor
Octopus & The Train" SPIDER-MAN 2 The comic come to life: thrilling, emotive, and a special effects marvel. |
 |
"Hector
Vs. Achilles" TROY Brutal and tense. If only the rest of the film could have been this gripping. |
| Finalists: The Incredibles -Mr. Incredible Vs. Omnidroid *Hero -Broken Sword & Flying Snow storm the palace * Hero -Flying Snow & Moon in the falling leaves. Semi-Finals: Collateral -The nightclub * The Incredibles -Elastigirl to the rescue * House of Flying Daggers -The Fields * The Bourne Supremacy -Final Car Chase * | |
Best Musical Number from a Musical Film
the
showstoppers are
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
De-Lovely |
Phantom
of the Opera |
Ray |
Ray |
The
Saddest Music in the World |
"Night
and Day" beautiful scene between Cole and
a frustrated actor. Plus the song is inarguably divine. |
"All
I Ask of You" the only number that justifies
getting stuck in your head. A pretty moment without extra
fuss. |
"Hit
the Road Jack" played the way musical scenes
are in non-musicals but I'm loving it. Regina rocks in this
scene. |
"Georgia
on my mind" Ray brings the house down. This
film benefits considerably from his awesome music. |
A
supremely silly if overlong movie. Lots of great tiny things
but my favorite number is the one w/ Maria deMedeiros |
| Finalists: "Anything Goes" -De-Lovely * Semi-Finalists: "The Point of No Return" or "Masquerade" -Phantom so far beyond cheesy and with such bizarre dancing choices that you just have to scream 'uncle' and go with it! * "Everybody's Got AIDS" -Team America early in the movie before you get sick of the outrageousness * "De-Lovely" -De-Lovely I ♥ Robbie Williams sometimes * And just about any number, truthfully, from Ray. I need to get that soundtrack. | ||||
Best
Musical Sequence from a Non-Musical Film
the
transfiguring moments are
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Bad
Education |
Before
Sunset |
Mean
Girls |
The
Motorcycle Diaries |
Napoleon
Dynamite |
"Moon
River" Ignacio is pure of voice but Father Manolo
is not innocent of intent |
"Let
me sing you a waltz..." You don't have to ask us
twice Celine. Swoon. |
"Jingle
Bell Rock" Cady saves the day when lipsynching fails.
Funny. |
"Chippi Chippi" -a great moment that springs
from Rodrigo's exuberance |
He's
been 'practicing some dance moves' and puts them to use in
the finale. Sweet. |
Finalists:
House of Flying Daggers -Mei's
song with drunken accompaniment from Jin * Semi-Finalists:
Any of the Bowie in Portugese moments from The Life Aquatic
---but which one? *Harry Potter "Something Wicked
This Way Comes" rehearsal * Bad Education -Zahara
performs * |
