Oscar Predictions!!!

[Thora]

Damn, I shouldn't have answered the phone. I missed her speech.

 

[corianderstem]

I loved Schindler's List, but that added, (apparently) fictional bit where Schindler cries about "could have saved one more" was unnecessary and, yes, manipulative.

But I do mostly love Spielberg. He forever gets a free pass for me for Close Encounters Of the Third Kind.

 

[Lancemc]

I still think Deakins deserved the award. But good on TWBB for getting a win.

 

[corianderstem]

Uh oh, here comes the "death applause-o-meter segment."

I predict Ledger will win.

 

[Dalton]

I love Hilary Swank. Chunky girls FTW.

 

[lazarus]

Hey, Mr. Ed is here to present a montage.

 

[deep]

Hop you're not talking about Schindler's List there.

he is spot on

shindler was no saint


and the manipulation in saving private ryan

 

[Babydoll]

Hillary Swank needs braces....

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

AWWWWWWWWW that was so great that they brought mar back out to speak! so cool!

she is so cute.. and has a voice of an angel!! I can't wait to go see them again live here in baltimore in May! Anyone who hasn't seen them live go see them they are are back in the US for several dates.. See the Swell Season thread in the Just the Bang and the Clatter forum...

Thank you.

Fixed.

 

[corianderstem]

I approve that adjustment, Dalton.

Huh, I thought Deborah Kerr died a few years ago. Sorry, Deborah.

 

[lazarus]

Heath should have been given a spoken line.

Lame.

 

[Babydoll]

Yeah I agree with that.

 

[deep]

these film clips of the dead

are why DDL should not do the heath thing

 

[Lancemc]

Heath should have been given a spoken line.

Lame.

For sure.

And I can't believe Lois Maxwell died? I had no idea.

 

[corianderstem]

What do you mean? No one else got a line. It was all silent, with background music.

Ah, good ol' Miss Moneypenny.

Hey Thora - time for another martini. Drink! Drink! Drink!

 

[lazarus]

But I do mostly love Spielberg. He forever gets a free pass for me for Hook.

Really?

 

[deep]

Heath should have been given a spoken line.

Lame.

because he is more worthy than all the other dear departed?

 

[anitram]

What do you mean? No one else got a line.

You speak the truth.

 

[Dalton]

 

[lazarus]

Huh, I thought Deborah Kerr died a few years ago. Sorry, Deborah.

For shame, Cori.

No roll around on the beach for you.

 

[corianderstem]

There are bits of Hook I like.

Very, very small bits. But still.

 

[corianderstem]

For shame, Cori.

No roll around on the beach for you.

How about a roll in the hay?

Roll in ze hay! Roll! Roll! Roll in ze hay!

I don't like strapless gowns where it looks like there are little cups over the bazooms. Like Amy's dress. That's an unattractive neckline.

 

[Dalton]

Amy Adams bugs the hell out of me.

 

[lazarus]

because he is more worthy than all the other dear departed?

Well he did die in what looks like an accident, at a pretty young age.


For the record, I think Suzanne Pleshette got the most applause.

 

[Dalton]

Atonement better win this shit.

I love me the typewriter noise.

 

[deep]

What do you mean? No one else got a line. It was all silent, with background music.

right

exception was made for Marcel Marceau

it was due.

 

[lazarus]

How about a roll in the hay?

Roll in ze hay! Roll! Roll! Roll in ze hay!

 

[corianderstem]

I think you're right re: Pleshette.

Can someone please tell me why Eddie Vedder and Mr. Radiohead weren't eligible in this category?
