The Great Interland Oscar Thread!

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I think they do, I'm not sure.

Jack Palance, Scotty, Jack Warden, and Peter Boyle have gotten the most so far.

Don't forget Robert Altman.

 

[LMP]

I do too, despite my quip above. It just makes me chuckle to think about the applause.

Ah, Robert Altman won that one. Rightly so.

Bruno Kirby ... Darren McGavin ... Peter Boyle ...

Ironically, Altman never won an Oscar.

But yeah, Scotty and Peter Boyle were the ones I almost cried for.

No Anna Nicole Smith in the memorial?

 

[corianderstem]

I'm so glad I'm on the west coast. It's only 8:50!

Did Anna Nicole ever act in anything? Wasn't she in one of the Naked Gun movies?

There's probably a cut-off date for deaths, like there's a cutoff date for films to be released in time for nominations.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Yea...Anna Nicole was in one of the Naked Gun movies.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

finally best actress....

 

[LMP]

The Helen Mirren Award?

 

[corianderstem]

Yay Helen Mirren! No surprise, but she's awesome and gorgeous.

 

[trevster2k]

The sweep is complete. And she is hot.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I'm not suprise that Helen Mirren won.....but I'm happy she won

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Yay Helen Mirren! What a great actress...and she looks smokin!

 

[namkcuR]

I want Scorsese to win Best Director.

Clint's won enough times.

 

[Thora]

Helen Mirren is simply stunning. Well deserved, and she is by far the best dressed tonight.

 

[corianderstem]

Okay, those dancers are kind of creeping me out.

Yeah, I'll be pissed if Clint wins AGAIN.

 

[LMP]

These Cirque Soleil-type people are crazy awesome.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Clint's won enough times.

For what would be good episodes of tv shows.

 

[corianderstem]

I know! It's so cool what they're doing, but still .... it creeps me out just a little.



At the same time, I want to see them without the backdrop - how are they DOING that?

OMG the Pogues in a TV commercial!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Ah, here comes the Death Applause-O-Meter! Who's going to get the biggest round of applause?

I was totally thinking the same thing. I like the tribute, but the clapping thing is a bit funny. Every year it's the same. You can tell the difference between a polite clap and a woo-this-person-was-popular applause-a-thon.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

These Cirque Soleil-type people are crazy awesome.

I think it's weirdly funny!

 

[corianderstem]

I still don't think I can guess what's going to win best picture.

I can always count on this year's Oscar show to remind me who won the acting categories last year. I couldn't remember it was Reese!

 

[trevster2k]

Scorsese will get it as a make up for past transgressions. That's how the Oscars work sometimes or in reverse, like overlooking a younger actor on the assumption that there best work is still ahead of them so no rush to give them an award yet.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

pleaseeeeeeeeeeee let MARTY win for best director!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[corianderstem]

Like Whoopi Goldberg winning an Oscar for hamming it up in Ghost, since she was snubbed for her amazing work in The Color Purple?

No, I'm not still bitter about that.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I still don't think I can guess what's going to win best picture.

I can always count on this year's Oscar show to remind me who won the acting categories last year. I couldn't remember it was Reese!

Same with me......I always forget who wins the acting categories the previous years until it comes close for the current awards to air.

 

[trevster2k]

I know! It's so cool what they're doing, but still .... it creeps me out just a little.



At the same time, I want to see them without the backdrop - how are they DOING that?

They would have to blur it out!!!

 

[corianderstem]

Eh, another non-surprise. Good for Forrest.

Hey, I didn't know he used to sing operatic tenor! Show us on live TV, Forrest!

 

[trevster2k]

I think Babel will win Best Picture.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Forrest Whittaker. Called it!

 

[impy13]

Forrest Whittaker. Called it!

I'm impressed! I honestly think no one else did!

 

[corianderstem]

I think Babel will win Best Picture.

That was my original pick. Maybe it's because I didn't LOVE any of the best picture noms I saw (although I didn't see Iwo Jima).

I probably enjoyed The Queen most, but it feels too small and quiet a movie to win the Oscar.
