Nicole Kidman always had recognition, more than she deserves, IMHO. I personally think Diane Lane should have won, if not her then Julianne Moore.
The Oscars aren't the leading authority when it comes to recognizing talent. They tend to give "Lifetime Achievements."
Having said that, this year's Oscars gave it to people who actually earned it and not to people who were overdue.
E.g.: Martin Scorcese; sorry that you were robbed two times before, but Gangs of New York sucked all kinds of ass. And as much as I would like to see Roman Polanski thrown in prison, he did deserve the award.
ETA: Was anybody absolutely smittened by Gael Garcнa Bernal of Y Tu Mamб Tambiйn. Like, I saw the movie and everything but he wasn't so appealing to me until his appearance in the Oscars. And the speech he delivered so eloquently was beautiful.
Goddamn that boy is one fine motherf_cker!!!
