Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Wins Original Screenplay: 2005 Oscars

[@robertoruggio6438]

One of the most deserved Oscars in movie history.

[@rayadakota]

Nah he didnt deserved this. He deserves more.

[@Tdsott]

Muhamad Dakota *deserved

[@David2751]

I feel like I've seen this same comment in other 200 videos of the Oscars

[@TheBerserkNetwork]

Fuck. Yes!!!!!

[@chanupadulnuwan6964]

Yesssssssss😍

[@dreamerx360]

this film deserved more that just one award. i mean the editing of the film how joel's memory changed from one another, how michel gondry directed this masterpiece. this film was ahead of its time and the academy couldn't recognize that. it was so brilliant.

[@00HoODBoy]

it should have won best picture in my humble opinion for so many reasons i could make a list too long for this comment section. but awards are just marketing from our perspective, we all know its about politics and all sort of stuff so its a little sad but in the end we know which one is superior

[@00HoODBoy]

Ryan Perez its one of the smartest, most original, most brave and best movies of this century and that is not even just my opinion. i suggest you read this cinephilefix.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/film-analysis-eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-mind/ screenrobot.com/philosophy-film-nietzschean-interpretation-eternal-sunshine/ if youre interested in getting a better grasp on it. this movie is one of those rarities that show me exactly why movies are the greatest art form we have. dont get me wrong,i adore million dollar baby, it has amazing acting, a great story and characters and is definitely a really great movie, but it will never be as far reaching .

[@00HoODBoy]

Ryan Perez it is but that doesnt mean its bad

[@00HoODBoy]

+Ryan Perez You didnt like it,thats Very different. i respect that too,but its Not a bad movie, quite the opposite. i dont like certain movies but i can still respect greatness

[@00HoODBoy]

+Ryan Perez that doesnt make it Bad. i like movies that are challenging and teach You something but thats Not for everyone and depends on the Film. no Problem if You cant get into it this time but its Not Bad because of that, right. i had to Watch it more than once, but if You dont like it You wouldnt Do that of course

[@vellichor]

Oh my gosh, Kate Winslet's excitement is freaking adorable

Jim Carrey should get nominated at least . His emotional character is just so brilliant

I truly believed he deserved the nomination over Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby in my opinion.

[@justinhenry4102]

If this movie had been released in the last three years it would most certainly be nominated for multiple awards including Best Picture.

[@ACLNaylor]

As if back in 2004 the competition was that much harder. It's nothing to do with that. It simply comes down to the fact that an indie movie like ESOTSM is allowed to bag awards only in few categories, most notably screenplay and supporting actor/actress.

[@davy209]

I honestly believed the studio’s didn’t have much faith when it comes to the movies award chances. It was released in March instead of November (the perfect time for award contenders) and the only one really campaigning for the movie was Kate Winslet and her team. It’s amazing the film got that Original Screenplay nomination as well as Best Actress.

[@MrAkashvj96]

The guy should've won for Adaptation as well.

[@jackgillespie3431]

He should have 'won' for everything he's done so far. Pretty sure he doesn't give a single shit though. It's clear that he does it for the art and not to pat himself on the back

[@diegomartinez5461]

Look boy, you seem to be New here, even if he says he doesn't care about the oscars, he does, and he should, because a lot of people care about the oscars. If charlie wins he gets promotion and promotion means more sales at the cinema and awareness of him, and that would be amazing, because then he can make more movies and the way he wants with not so much of a restriction in budget so

[@CristianNicolae]

+diego Martinez for writers like Charlie promotion is irrelevant. Most of his movies are low budget and big studios don't fight to buy them cause they know his style is not commercial. And his scripts are so good that he would sell them without any promotion.

[@kmanet4118]

You're wrong. He does care about winning, because he doesn't want to loose and winning means more opportunities for him. His films are not low budget at all

[@CristianNicolae]

+kenneth merced calo Nope. He doesn't. He said numerous times that the Oscars are "phony" and that he doesn't like the Oscars. His latest movie, Anomalisa, had an 8$ millions budget. Coraline, another movie made using stop-motion had a budget of 60$ millions. So yeah, that's pretty much low budget for the same type of film. It doesn't seem like the Oscar gave him the opportunity to produce the movies he wants cause he fought hard to get Anomalisa produced.

[@marcussalazar504]

A well deserved win. Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind is on a whole nother level

[@Zombiesnyder13]

When I watch a movie directed by someone famous, I think about how the director did it. But this one, I watch because Charlie Kaufman wrote it. And think about how he did it.

[@BooksToMovies]

zombiesnyder13 100% agree

[@julianbarbor2545]

Like what Sam Jackson said. You can't film anything without the screenwriter. I think it's important to regard both. A director's vision cannot excist without the writer's imprint.

[@nizver]

this has to be one of the best screenplays ever written

[@gustavohorn3380]

At least one consolation prize for the true Best Motion Picture of 2004

[@dlh7989]

+Gustavo Horn Although best original screenplay is pretty damn good consolation to be fair! Not like they just gave it best sound mixing or something (which it totally would have deserved too)

[@gustavohorn3380]

Dylan Burgess I agree. It rightfully won in a very important category.

[@gangrenegengar1254]

Gustavo Horn I would have loved to have seen this movie win best picture

[@alucinado1021]

@Diego Pisfil ugh that movie annoyed me, especially when fugly Hillary Swank won over Winslet

[@creatorstory9916]

Are writers THAT undervalued and underappreciated? The screenplay is the most important part of a movie. Without the scripts, directors and producers would have no movies to make, actors would have no roles to play, and audiences would have nothing to see on the screen. Seriously, a "consolation prize"? It's not as if both screenwriting awards are considered to be among the top five awards or something. I have heard that there are fewer stars on the Hollywood walk of Fame than there are for animals. I honestly didn't believe that when I first heard it, but I do now.

[@diamondgirl5945]

One of the rare times the oscar actually went to someone who really deserves it. Kate Winslet should have won that year instead of Hillary Swank. This was also Kate's favorite movie. And Jim should have been nominated too.

[@jonathanapple4828]

As much as I absolutely love Kate Winslet and her performance in Eternal Sunshine, Hilary Swank also crushed her role.

[@iambassanta]

OMG Kate loves Charlie

Eternal Sunshine has gone down as probably one of the most innovatively written and directed films in history. The emotional components...the absurd components....the awe-inspiring complexity of the screenplay...the playfulness...and even the darker components like re-visiting already erased memories....this film was on a whole new level and the only filmmaker who would go on to transcend it even further is non-other than Charlie Kaufman, himself, with the film *Synecdoche, New York,* which Roger Ebert called one of the best films of the decade. Kaufman is a Genius and it's not easy to get such a name. Eternal Sunshine represented the time when he blended all the experimentations of post-modernism in perfect sync with Hollywood sensibilities about love stories and was still able to be completely truthful and honest through the medium, never resorting to depicting the titillation of sex, romance, or young dashing rich actors to do so. In so doing, he's given a thesis on Love and relationships that actually convey wisdom in our lives, making us realize that even if love is tough, nonsensical, and downright repetitively tumultuous, and even dichotomous both its cathartic and non-cathartic elements, it's still something that needs to be truly experienced.
