Oscar Thread ...... can this one be the offcial one?

[ronnykmarshall]

After all I live in LA and have blown every ...... uh I mean .... I've got my ear to the gossip of the whole thang!

[terrya]

1. I think that's a good idea

While the telecast is going on, you could PM me with some of the details. :-)

[rusty charly]

3. where's the E! red carpet thread?

(kidding)

[Lavender Brown]

4. I used to like watching that

Ryan Seacrest has ruined it for me. He's so annoying. :cry:

[terrya]

5. Uh-uh. No...I can't stand Joan and Melissa

I can't do that E! Pre-Oscar thing...not with those two harpies.

I keep hoping some celebrity will tell the two of them off.

[Montauk6]

171. They need someone drunk enough to tell Joan she needs an intervention.

She's seriously on her way to changing her name to Jocelyn.

[rbnyc]

2. Cool.

Tho aside fom the pool, I'm really just in it for the dresses.

[ronnykmarshall]

10. yer such a girl.......

so am I!!!!

[bigwillq]

6. Of course!

This is the official thread! :hi:

[terrya]

8. Let's kick it right before the telecast.

This will be, of course, the first one. 3 hour plus telecast.

[ronnykmarshall]

9. Keep checking in ...

You know that if "Brokeback MT" does not get best picture ........ hooollla voooba chaha. In other words .... TURN THIS MUTHA OUT !!!! See agenda page 806, section 12.5.

[terrya]

13. Will do

Yes...in the contengency that "Brokeback" does NOT win Best Picture...shaboola exathra bawna. I've just consulted the agenda, and will execute

[ronnykmarshall]

169. FUCK YOU OSCAR!!!!

You chicken shit mother fuckers. "Crash" can kiss my ASS!!! Fuck you Oscar. Fuck you Academy you little chicken shit mother fuckers. Eat shit and die.

Can you tell I'm pissed?

[terrya]

172. I'm stunned...

First of all, I don't fucking understand how someone can win Best Director and the film they directed NOT win Best Picture. I've never understood that dynamic. "Ok, so and so did the best job directing...but the film they directed just wasn't "the best"? Huh?

I fucking hate to think there was a backlash against "Brokeback Mountain"...but it sure as hell looks like it was. I think "Brokeback" was the better picture. Period.

I guess Hollywood still isn't ready to recognize a film with gay themes. Oh, well....

[ronnykmarshall]

174. Fuck the Academy.

Pussy ass chicken shit fuck wads. I was so fucking pissed right now. Crash is a good film but was NOT the best picture of the year. Who's cock did the Academy suck? Oh, I guess none. Mother fuckers.

[Montauk6]

175. Hollywood Left, my ass!

Yeah, "Hollywood left its courage at the door," more like.

[Montauk6]

173. I feel the same way! CRASH????

[Zomby Woof]

7. Hell yes

I was going to say, "Well, you do live in L.A.!" But you beat me to it. :toast:

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Zomb .....

Be ready to activate "the plan" .... you're an Angelino plus one of them thar friends of gays. If Brokeback loses for best picture ....... the 405 ..... big pile of cow poop. You know The Plan.

[tanyev]

12. Insipid pre-show stuff on ABC.

George Clooney took the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Great choice; he deserves it.

Only thing is, I voted for Jake Gyllenhaal in the DU poll. Good thing I wasn't aiming for winning the contest, otherwise I'd be out of the running already.

64. LOL - Clooney is STILL talking backstage....

http://www.oscar.com/video/streaming.html

Ham it up brotha! You deserve it!

[benny05]

88. 4/6 tonight so far! n/t

[crispini]

59. Dang, Dolly looks GREAT.

Wish my waist was that tiny!

[Catfight]

66. That woke my ass up...Dolly's great and looks great! nt

[ralps]

62. Sorry Dolly IMHO I don't think your song is going to win, unless the other

songs are even worse.

[file83]

65. It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp is WAY better than that song, IMO.

[progmom]

63. is naomi watts pregnant?

[crispini]

67. What was that really weird commercial after the break?

Made no sense whatsoever.

[ralps]

69. That might have been a clip from "Munich"

[bigwillq]

68. Dolly did a good job!

:bounce:

[rusty charly]

71. stewart doesn't seem to be

nailing it

[Cannikin]

73. The Scientology bit was good.

[Maat]

76. I feel so stupid - I didn't get it.

What was up with that? (Just don't tell anyone I didn't get it - HeeHee.)

[carolinalady]

81. I thought it was a reference toward Tom Cruise and all his

blathering this year about Scientology.

[Maat]

86. Yeah, that's the way I took it, too.

I was worried it meant something else.

I saw a guy in the audience wince - he must be a Scientologist!

[file83]

74. He's nailed a few good jokes....

[benny05]

98. 5/7 tonight! Good for the movie on best make-up! n/t

[benny05]

100. Inspired by Where the Wild Things Are...how sweet n/t

[Catfight]

80. Brad ain't missin' her......

[Shine]

82. WTF are they playing MUSIC during the acceptance speeches for?

it's really starting to piss me off. I find it incredibly distracting, not to mention disrespectful.

do any of you agree??

It's VERY annoying. :grr:

[carolinalady]

83. to keep them moving along-will get louder as time passes.

[Shine]

91. Well, I for one think it's effing annoying and disrespectful.

they've managed just fine in past years with the music as a cue when they run over, but they shouldn't play it DURING their speeches!

I think it's outrageous. :grr:

[file83]

84. Agree.

[rusty charly]

87. i agree

but i think the music suddenly coming in has become such a joke (they did one tonight...)

but it's in the way.

[Shine]

94. I am really music oriented, so I find myself being really distracted by it

and not able to concentrate on what the winners are saying, which is, I'm sure an experience many people are having, as well.

It just seems incredibly disrespectful, imo.

:grr:

[ralps]

85. Best Costume Design- Memoirs of A Geisha

[swag]

89. "Oh, thanks to Sony pictures for being so brave to make a picture about

a woman,"

Oh Sony pictures is so brave!

Such bravery!

[rusty charly]

97. they left out about

600 bio-pix from that montage, some oscar winners: sissy spacek and daniel day lewis?

[Catfight]

99. Yeah....I agree...they had a lot more to go....rip off

[derby378]

90. Russell "Fightin' 'Round the World" Crowe is up...

...minus Tugger, his little sidekick.

[swag]

92. "Drink, Fight, & Fuck," my main motherfucker.

Russell Crowe, carrying on in the greatest traditions of GG Allin.

Hey, how 'bout that!

[qanda]

93. It seems to be pretty dull so far

[file83]

104. Ben Stiller was the funniest part so far, IMO.

[Lorien]

95. What, no "Lawrence of Arabia"?

[ralps]

96. Not yet Lorien

[rusty charly]

103. oscar winning narnia... oh well

[Lorien]

123. I was referring to the bio pic montage

"Lawrence" is one of my favorites-and an Oscar winner for best picture.

[ralps]

129. Oops I wasn't sure what you were referring to. That movie should have

been in that montage.

[ralps]

101. Best Makeup- The Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion, The Witch & The

Wardrobe

[file83]

106. I FINALLY guessed 1 right! 2 out of ?

[Lorien]

109. That makeup guy was an ass

long speech-no time for the other winner (the woman) to speak!

I wish they would cut the skits short and give them a few more seconds for their speeches.

[derby378]

I have only missed animated short film

[benny05]

108. Impressive 6/7 for u

[file83]

117. I'm only 2 for 7. :-(

[benny05]

107. Good barbs in the middle by Stewart

Funny about the disappointment for make-up to make Russell Crowe look like he had been in fight..:bounce:

[TahitiNut]

112. Comparing Oscar to Saddam ... too much alcohol in the audience to get it.

:shrug:

[98geoduck]

139. If we pull down the statue will it bring democracy....LMAO

I think it's hard for some to keep up with Stewart, and he generally gives more pause during his show for the crowd to respond.

[benny05]

116. 6/8

Sorry...I seldom guess this many...this will probably be the end...:bounce:

[bigwillq]

122. I'm 6 for 8 too!

:bounce:

124. Alright--you are probably a better judge than I am

But "i like to watch"

[liontamer]

119. is rachel weisz pregnant?

[Fleshdancer]

133. yep. 7 months along is what the gimp on E! said earlier. n/t

[TahitiNut]

120. I love her and the movie was great, but ... the role just wasn't a stretch

I'm glad anyway ... I like her work. :shrug:

[aaronbees]

121. Woo hoo, Rachel Weisz!!

I liked what she had to say about fighting for justice too :toast:

[Jade Fox]

131. Yeah, so far political films are doing well!

first Clooney and now Weisz in Constant Gardner. The right wing "pundits" are gonna be having cows tomorrow.

I like Weisz 'cause she's not the typical anorexic blond of Hollywood.

[carolinalady]

126. can we start a new thread?

[spinbaby]

128. Poor Lauren Bacall

I think she's having trouble seeing the teleprompter.

[file83]

130. That's show business baby!

[maveric]

132. Lauren Bacall

[Jack_Dawson]

134. Mav how do you just call up a pic

of LB like that? I mean in like 2 seconds.

[file83]

[benny05]

140. funny! n/t

[benny05]

147. Wow, Charlize looks really, really thin

7th correct prediction...

[ralps]

137. LOL Ad Campaigns for Academy Awards!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jade Fox]

149. Those were great!!

Sharpest political point of the evening so far.

[derby378]

138. Citizens for Keira Knightley!!

The anti-Judi ad was pretty good, too.

[ET Awful]

144. Dames for Truth

:rofl: :spray:

[ralps]

142. Best Documentary- Short Subject- "A Note of Triumph

The Golden Age of Norman Corwin”

[Fenris]

145. Charlize's dress looks like it has a tumor.

[spinbaby]

150. Horrible dress

Surely she can afford a dress that fits.

[Lorien]

160. Maybe she's packing a cat in that thing?

My cat Puck rides around on my shoulder-and damn, that lump is about the same size!

[ralps]

146. Best Documentary- Feature- "March of The Penguins"

[Catchawave]

154. Good acceptance speech - "save the penquins" !

[derby378]

156. Damn straight...

Stupid Nero don't give a damn about those penguins.

[Montauk6]

148. kill the orchestra (that is all)

[Catfight]

151. I can't stand lopez...way over rated and that was probably a catcall from

her husband.

[TahitiNut]

167. I think she's under-rated, quite frankly.

The tabloid exploitation, I believe, generated a lot of reactionary crap. I think people diss her merely because she's eye candy. Charlize Theron and Resse Witherspoon get under-rated for the same reason, I believe. They're all more talented than given credit for.

[Montauk6]

170. Catfight, I was thinking it was her publicist! lol

[Cannikin]

152. J-Lo looks like shes been baking in the tanning bed.

[Shine]

162. I think she's got amazing skin that looks like honey.

but I really don't like what she's done with her hair. Too tight off her face.

:puke:

[carolinalady]

153. Offical Request for Official Thread #2 Please?????

[Catfight]

155. that song is a show stopper..it's putting everyone to sleep....

[benny05]

[ralps]

164. I added the link just now

[benny05]

159. I actually like this song a lot

In the Deep..reminds me of a Sarah McLauchlan tune...if she had performed it...wonder


But I'm not certain it will win...but then it might

[TahitiNut]

165. It's improved 300% by the performance art.

As a standalone, it's just sorta nice. With the 'music video' performance art it's awesome.

[Catchawave]
