Christoph Waltz won an Oscar for best supporting Actor .............

I think he deserved it, his Character Hans Landa was just excellent.

I agree. He did a good job. Plus, I'm glad Inglourious Basterds at least won one award from all the nominations they got.

The film kinda bored me in some bits, but Waltz was definitely excellent.

I didn't think it was INCREDIBLE, but it certianly was amusing. I liked the balance of action and comedy and found the Lieutenant Aldo Raine to be hilarious. The ending kind of made me be like, "wtf were they on when they were making this movie?" but it was still amusing. Plus, Christoph Waltz had an amazing performance, as already stated.

I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the film as much as I did, if it weren't for his character.

He was great, but I wouldn't mind Woody Harrelson winning either since he was just as good.

The best part of Inglorious Basterds was Chirstoph Waltz. The opening scene is just so great, I am shocked that I enjoyed a QT film as much as I did. :PJazz_Fan

Yeah same. I never liked him much as a film maker. Inglorious basterds though really surprised me. It is his best and most consistant film by far. However I think more people should appreciate Woody Harrelson's great performance. Shame The Messenger didn't do very well.

Any other year I would agree, but Waltz just did one of the best performances of any actor in the last 5 years if not more. He acted in three different languages and made the audience believe him in all three. That's acting if there was any definition of what acting is.

By far?

No way, unless you're planning on throwing Reservoir Dogs (which I think is clearly superior) out with the dirty bath water, along with the rest of his oeuvre, which really only ranges from good (Jackie Brown, Kill Bill), to good but excessively self indulgent (Pulp Fiction, Death Proof).

I'd say Basterds is one of his better films, but I certainly don't think it makes the rest look bad.

His other films are fun, but I never feel invested in them. Reservoir dogs is an exception kinda.

Christoph Waltz winning an Oscar was probably one of my favorite moments of the entire show.Nerd_Man

I liked his very metaphorical acceptance speach:)

Yeah I've been watching all his acceptance speeches from from other ceremonies (Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, etc.). He always seems to come up with some pretty good speeches that don't fall under the typical "...And I thank my co-worker" crap that everyone else seems to do.

I'm pretty sure Bad Lieutenant comes out in early April. No idea when The Road comes out though. You should read some of the reactions Abel Ferrara had to Werner Herzog making a new Bad Lieutenant. Abel really freaked out, he seems a bit immature actually. I also read a really good book by Herzog called Of walking in ice. His book about making Fitzcarraldo was great too.

I still think Michael Giacinno had the best speach:P

I think they both had great speeches. I also loved the part where they showed those filmmakers who got started with making short films. I loved the part with John Lasseter. I thought he told some great advice to all striving filmmaker's out there who were watching it. Jason Reitman seemed to approve his statement as well... He was just like "yeah!" when they switched the camera to him after that short film segment. :P

I remember that:) I tried to meet Jason Reitman at the Governer's ball but I kept mistaking Mark Boal for him since they look very similar.

One of the most amazing performances in years imo, simply amazing.

The opening scene is just so greatJazz_Fan

That's a bingo!

one_plum

Can't say I'm surprised, he played his role exceptionally well.

Dude deserved it. I feared his character more than I have any villains from a horror movie... He knows how to act.

I also liked his acceptance speech, in real life he seems like a real lovable guy.

Could be my favorite moment too. What I did find strange was when he gave his speech he talked just like in the movie. I thought he was making an accent in the film.

Much deserved. I love the way he talks aswell, even off camera, the guy is cool
