OSCARS - Acadamy Awards !! - do we even care???

[corianderstem]

What, you didn't like Breaking Dawn Part One?

 

[mobvok]

what's with the film montage
just in case anyone doesn't know there are some shit movies that people call classics

panic about encroaching alternative media options?

I would have rather have cut the montage and heard each director talk for a minute about their makeup and costume designers' approach.

The only shit movie I noticed in that montage was Twilight. On what universe is THAT crap considered a classic?!

 

[deep]

The Artist costumes were good.

 

[deep]

God willing, makeup will be the only Oscar the Iron Lady gets.

 

[mobvok]

panic about encroaching alternative media options?

uh oh, they really *are* shitting a brick. two montages already!

 

[corianderstem]

I usually like all the little extra montages, but I'm deeply annoyed already.

Maybe my love of the Oscars is withering.

 

[deep]

any of the Twilight movies are better than Forest Gump

 

[corianderstem]

Let's not get crazy, now.

 

[deep]

Gump makes me batshit crazy, psycho $#%#$@

uh oh, they really *are* shitting a brick. two montages already!

and Crystal called iPad the big screen.

 

[Thora]

I love that Canada is considered a "foreign" film.

 

[deep]

I saw Bullhead last night - very, very good.

I saw In Darkness, last week. good.

But, A Separation is exceptional

 

[deep]

Octavia is a lock for this one.

 

[corianderstem]

Yup.

Mmm, Christian Bale.

 

[mobvok]

well, that ends racism in Hollywood for another year.

 

[deep]

they did win the war of 1812

 

[corianderstem]

I'm not sure if she was calling Christian Bale or her Oscar the "hottest guy in the room."

David Waldman ‏ @KagroX
I was told Iran was at least five years away from Oscar capability.

[Thora]

SO happy for Octavia! She was wonderful in The Help.

 

[corianderstem]

I can't wait for a bunch of right-wingers to start whining about how it won due to political sympathies or something. Because it's not like the movie got rave reviews or anything.

 

[deep]

well, that ends racism in Hollywood for another year.

yes, we have come a long way since Hattie McDaniel won in 1939 for portraying a maid in a Southern home.

I am looking for Viola Davis to win Actress over Streep
the maids from the help will be cleaning up tonight.

and wow, did Crystal just do a racist joke.

Obama is totally going to be blamed for it.

 

[corianderstem]

One of my friends thought she saw someone in blackface during Crystal's intro. I missed that - did anyone else see it?

 

[corianderstem]

So much filler ... but anything by Christopher Guest's crew is always welcomed.

 

[Thora]

That bit was WAY too long. Just hurry up with the show, already!

 

[deep]

it was Crystal himself doing Sammy Davis
he has been doing that for years.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, right. Duh.

Still, though. Awkward.

 

[trojanchick99]

That Guest skit has been the best thing so far.
