damn

I was underwhelmed with the big Bond mash-up. It just looked like a bunch of stuff with some half-assed cliche Bond visuals thrown on top of it.

At least they recognized a film franchise that's been around for 50 years, and had this awesome musical performance. Like Mel said, 2 Oscar's ever.

these Bond clips show how much fun Bond used to be

and how boring Skyfall is.

I had fun. A lot of fun, in fact.

 

[corianderstem]

I just had higher expectations for the tribute.

how come duran duran wasn't asked to play a view to a kill?

I am a minority opinion on that film, I tried it a second time, still not that good for me.

I'll tell you what, to me, it got the job done. As I've mentioned a few times, until two months ago, I had never seen a Bond film, save for 45 minutes each of Goldfinger and Never Say Never Again. Now I've seen Dr. No and From Russia With Love.

After that montage, I'm dying to get to the rest of them as quickly as possible.

A Bond film hasn't won an Oscar in 47 years. 4 more chances for Skyfall to break the streak.

 

[corianderstem]

I'll be shocked if it doesn't pick up the song Oscar tonight.

 

[deep]

Adelle is a lock for song.

 

[bono_212]

My streak ends

 

[DRay9911]

what's up with putting the smaller category nominees in their own little holding pen?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Those box seats look like the things Qui-gon and the gang watched the pod race in

It's bugging me that they're having the presenters swap sides when they're presenting two awards. I'm not fooled, Academy! I know they're the same people from moments earlier!

 

[bono_212]

Support the arts bi- Duh DUN duh DUN

what streak?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Amy Adams' boy toy looks like the kind to say "hmmm, yes. I dooo say"

 

[bono_212]

He's uh...Irish (Or being from Belfast does that make him British?).

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, Liam Neeson. How I love thee.

 

[LemonMelon]

American as meat pie.

 

[deep]

these shorts should not be on prime time

 

[bono_212]

I'm amused by Liam presenting Lincoln. Ya know, cause he was like, supposed to play him forever.

 

[bono_212]

what streak?

I'd only missed one pick before the live shorts.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hahaha Argo looked like a Breaking Bad spinoff in that clip.

 

[deep]

Seth implying Harvey Weinstein is a pedo,

 

[Jive Turkey]

Still Irish, but also British

 

[Jive Turkey]

I want to have Jessica Chastain's baby

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Still Irish, but also British

brirish? (long i)

 

[bono_212]

Still Irish, but also British

Thank you. People can mock Americans for not knowing what's in the UK and what's not, but there are still some inherent difficulties when half of a country is a part of another.
