Anyone did watch the Oscars last night?
When they showed Joaquin during the
run-through of the nominees for Best Actor,he
mouthed something silently. I taped the show and later I watched carefully what Joaquim said and he said surely "I love you River". And also a few of Joaquim fansite reported the same thing. Did anyone else notice it?

wow.............i didnt realize he said "river" ........i knew he said "i love you" but i didnt know it was to river.............wow, i think thats amazing...........

Oooooh, that is so sweet. I was SO upset he didnt get the Golden globe for the movie Walk the line. Reese did, she really deserved it, but I mean...he played Johnny Cash.....THE JOHNNY CASH and he was effing awsome. The character, the acting, the singing, everything, but i mean, if Reese got the Golden Globe, why the hell did he not get it. He deserved it a lot more than that other dude (was it phillip seymor hoffman (?) ! Dont get me wrong, Reese was awsome, she is my fave actress all the way, fantastic actor/role model for woman all over the world, but If she got a golden globe for her excellent performance, why the hell did Joaq miss out?

Anyway, at least we all have the knowlage of how good he was. I saw the movie on Saturday and I swear to God, they are both effing great, anyone who hasnt seen it....go and see it. Im not a johnny or june fan, but now I cant get those dang songs 'It aint me babe' and 'Jackson' outta my head. Thats how much of an effect they have on you. I mean, Im 16 years old...and me....liking country music...wtf?? basically. Lol, anyways, seeya dudes. xoxox Ally

what websites say that and is there any clips online of it showing him saying that

when i saw walk the line i thought joaquin was an awsome actor. the best movie he has done so far! (although ladder 49 was good too). my english teacher always talks about him.
anyway one scene in "walk the line" where he talks about his brothers death i was shocked. well you know why. it hit me hard that it was like him talking about river. im sure Joaquin misses river everyday and thinks of him too.

That almost made me cry.

"I taped the show and later I watched carefully what Joaquim said and he said surely "I love you River". And also a few of Joaquim fansite reported the same thing. Did anyone else notice it?"

I watched it and taped it, and I've looked at it repeatedly since reading your message to try to figure it out. I knew the first time that he was saying "I love you" to someone, but I can promise you he is NOT saying "River." He was obviously saying "I love you" to someone he knew would be watching on tv, and it looks way more like he's saying something like "Granddad" lol. Or maybe it was a message to his girlfriend - who knows. But he is absolutely NOT saying River's name. I hate to burst your bubble (and I'm certainly not trying to be mean), but that's just a fact. I can read lips pretty well, and he is in no way shape or form making a "v" sound with his lips. After all, as private as Joaquin is overall but especially about River, I could never imagine him saying his name on international television. That's why I went back to look at it again. I mean, we're talking about a guy who's so private he managed to sneak into the Oscars and avoid all the red carpet interviews, lol. It was sweet that he brought his mom with him, though. And how sweet was it when she (Joaquin's mom) started crying during Reese Witherspoon's moving acceptance speech? I'm glad Reese won - she deserved it. And as amazing as Joaquin was in "Walk the Line" (and I'm someone who saw it in the theater AND has watched the DVD many times, lol), I still didn't expect him to win the Oscar. (It was great he got a Golden Globe for it, though.) But I knew the Oscar was going to go to Philip Seymour Hoffman, and I really think he deserved it a little more than Joaquin. (just a little, ok? ) If you haven't seen "Capote," you should. Hoffman honestly seemed to channel Truman Capote - he became him. I've seen video clips of the real guy, so I know. Joaquin was great as Johnny Cash, but I never once forgot I was watching Joaquin play Cash - whereas I honestly forgot that I wasn't watching the real Capote. Hoffman was just that good. But I'm still VERY proud of Joaquin for the amazing film he made and the honors (awards or just nominations) he got for it. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a big fan of his. And I'm going to have to start betting some money on the Oscars - I always somehow manage to pick most of the winners, and this year I got 22 out of 24!! And yes, I was one of the few who picked "Crash" to win Best Picture - I was so happy to see it win. That's another great film I recommend people watch.

wow i haffta see that. rio watches over leaf. they one entity. one in the same. tru spirit and so soft and beautiful. so sorry for what happened that night he died. i know Joaquin must really go thru ups and downs but rio luv leaf always one unity.

He was saying Reese not River. There's no way in hell he said River, he just wouldn't throw that out there like that.

actually he said :

I Love You Indiana

-That was what his publicist confirmed-

"actually he said :

I Love You Indiana

Well, that's actually just what ONE Joaquin fansite owner CLAIMS his publicist said. (From what I could find) It's possible, sure, but it seems highly unlikely that Joaquin's PR person would have contacted one out of his many fansite operators and talked to her/him directly about this one question. Besides, it also seems odd that Joaquin would have singled out only ONE of his nephews (doesn't he have 2 or 3 and a niece as well? something like that ... he's definitely uncle to more than one kid though). I think I read somewhere that his sis Summer and hubby Casey Affleck (parents to Indiana) were at the Oscars after-party with Joaquin and his mom, but Indiana certainly wasn't there lol, and he's only like 2 years old or something ... kind of unlikely that he would have been watching Uncle Joaquin on tv, you know? It just doesn't make sense. Some other Joaquin fansites concluded that he was simply saying "I love you all, thank you" (or "I love you and thank you") to his fans when the camera zoomed in on him, which would make more sense. I absolutely agree that he WAS NOT saying "I love you RIVER." That was just wishful thinking on the part of River fans and nothing more ... there's no way that's what he was saying. The most logical choice would be the "I love you all, thank you" thing, but I guess he could have been giving a "shout out" (lol) to Indiana - maybe the lil' tyke got to stay up late to watch the show. But I imagine his cousins were jealous (especially the older ones) if Joaquin singled him out and excluded them lol. Did you get this info (the Indiana thing) from a reputable source, or were you just quoting that one fansite that claimed they got an email from Joaquin's publicist?? Because unfortunately you can't always trust that someone like that was telling the truth. If his publicist was going to answer this question (and it did indeed become a popular question), you'd think they'd have gone the route of a magazine or newspaper instead of one fansite. I'd love to know where you heard it. Like my name suggests, I'm the curious type.

well I heard it was Indiana, but who knows. I am 100% sure he didn't say "i love you jenn" so honestly, I don't care. He loves someone but it isn't me.
