The 2014 Oscars chat thread!

[jeevey]

Speculation, chat, images, fangirling and hopefully Bono wrestling with an animated character. Proceed.

 

[corianderstem]

But what if the animated character wins? That would just be embarrassing.

(I mean in the wrestling contest, not the actual Oscar, because we already know that's likely to actually happen.)

So I started a U2 at the Oscars thread yesterday, shouldn't these be combined?

 

[corianderstem]

I don't think anyone realized that was meant to be the general Oscar thread.

 

[Jeannieco]

Hmmm okay...whatever...no big deal.

I'm excited....I think they actually have a shot at winning. I can see Pharell and that song from Frozen splitting the vote, allowing our boys to swoop in! Still wish they had won for Hands that Build America, I thought that was such a beautiful song that really complimented Gangs of New York....I'm a big rap fan but have never cared for Eminem...plus, Eminem, playing Eminem, rapping a song about being Eminem? Not too out of the box.

 

[corianderstem]

Interesting theory about the vote-splitting. If U2 wins, it would be a huge upset.

.... not that I'd mind.

I like the guy who apparently thinks that the obviously fake Sondheim account is actually Steven Sondheim.

Your OP over there had a specific thing to talk about, so that's what I thought it was for. Sorry there! Here's hoping that either A. my little ones go to bed early or B. U2 don't play in the first half hour or so.

Does anyone know what time U2 are performing? I don't want to watch anything other than the performance. I could care less if they win or lose too.

I don't think that's been announced. So, no.

Ok Thanks.

I'll plan on catching it on YouTube tomorrow.

Live feed is here WATCH ABC Live Stream - ABC.com and on the oscars website. I poked around a bit and couldn't find an order of events, sadly.

Good thing I made a large batch of popcorn. The only reason I'm even watching is for the U2 stuff.

 

[dazzledbylight]

I ddidn't realize that the show is on ABC. Difficult channel for me to get most of the time.
But a friend gave me a better antennae with a TV amolifier veryh reccently so I'm hoping I'll be able to get it!

Ugh, that's never fun. I remember those struggles all too well.

We finally upgraded to a flat screen HD tv about a year ago. Now we get about 30 or so "over-the-air" channels, and we have basic cable which gives us channels 2-70.

They only let you watch it if you live in certain big cities or download their app. I guess I'll just have to jiggle the TV antenna down here in the basement when I see a blob of pixels that looks like Bono.

 

[_underwhelmed]

Late! of course! I blame Bono

 

[pkp]

Ok, they've arrived All 4 of their ladies look amazing

 

[Rachel D.]

I'm trying to find a livestream. E! Online says they are live right now, but when I click the link, it just takes me in a circle.

 

[_underwhelmed]

not great quality but here's a stream ABC - East [General] Live Stream Online[general].html
(lots of popups...might i recommend ad blocker add on for chrome)

 

[Hawkmoon269]

They just showed them on abc

 

[Super Yo]

 

[Rachel D.]

Crap, I just got my antenna in exactly the right position and they're having commercials.

 

[corianderstem]

I think E is just recap stuff now. ABC must have the lead-in rights to show arrivals/interviews leading up to the show.

Apparently there was just a flash of U2 in the background on ABC. Hopefully they're just making their way down the carpet and will be interviewed.

WHAT THE SHlT IS THAT SHIRT, BONO.
