The 2010 Academy Awards Open Thread

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (496)



avatarx-topper-medium.jpg

You know how this works, by now. Watch the show. Chat amongst yourselves. Try not to make a mess of the place. And we’ll leave you to it, perhaps popping in occasionally to remind you to keep the music down. And, since we’re posting this a few hours before the show, you folks can post your predictions on the major categories, and compare them with what the hacks in the Academy come up with. For the sake of time and space, limit predicks to: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, and Screenplays (adapted and original).

As for the drinking component: A drink every time the music plays someone off stage, another shot if someone cries, half a shot if Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie are featured in a cutaway shot, two shots for any musical numbers, and a pint of your favorite whiskey if Avatar wins in any of the major categories. The first to pass out wins at life.

Kvetch away, folks.

Oh, Avatar.

Knocks Self Out

boozy juice!

passes out

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 3:08 PM

I hope The Blind Side and Sandra Bullock take everything. She deserves it due to her years of brilliant actressin'.

Posted by: admin at March 7, 2010 3:13 PM

If Avatar wins Best Picture it will signify the end of the style over substance debate. Gaga already did it to music so my guess is the trend means Cameron will be doing some more Oscar fist pumps later.

That drinking game sounds more like mass suicide, if there is no one here to post their outrage tomorrow morning, I will know why.

The limo waiting circle for the red carpet is a block from my house. If each Pajiban give me five dollars, I'll go streak it.

O.k. No way in hell I have that much chutzpah, but it's a nice thought.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at March 7, 2010 3:15 PM

I won't be watching, since it's on at 3 am or whatever here, (gone are the days I would stay up on the sofa and wake the next morning for school feeling like death. Ah my teenage self) but I did enjoy Sandra Bullock's Razzie speech. Bless her.

Posted by: Carrie at March 7, 2010 3:18 PM

By the way, I heard a rumor that the Academy might finally be nixing the full musical performance for each nominee in the Best Song category, so that could curtail the shots in the drinking game a bit.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at March 7, 2010 3:18 PM

I knew I could count on Pajiba.

I found this YooToob thing while searching for "Oscar" videos. It put a smile on my face.

Posted by: Jerce at March 7, 2010 3:21 PM

I've been avoiding Hollywood Blvd. all week. The traffic is unbearable.

That said, Oscar night is the only time I ever bother trying to go to Pink's. No waiting!

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 3:22 PM

I don't get the whole Avatar thing. It's just Transformers: RotF with more money thrown at it! Everything about it was completely lazy and half-baked apart from the visuals. Seriously, give me that much money and I could make that movie.

Posted by: Chugga at March 7, 2010 3:28 PM

Damn you Oscars. Why won't you let Up In The Air win Best Picture

Posted by: Sexycakes at March 7, 2010 4:29 PM

Actually, I kinda hope Up wins, if only for the first ten minutes alone. Also for Dug. SQUIRREL!

Also because when they call it, it would just be like "And the winner is...UP!" And then they'd cut to Jason Reitman in the audience waiting for three more words that won't come. And then he will pretty much devolve into a foaming-at-the-mouth frenzy. Dare to dream, motherfuckers.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at March 7, 2010 4:37 PM

Oh I really do hope that Canadia gets the best Director Award, for so epically fucking up the Olympics, that it was actually GOOD. They managed to combine death,power cuts,riots (how the fuck do you get Canadians to riot???), winters sports and rain when there was snow 49 of 50 American states!!!

Posted by: bob at March 7, 2010 4:47 PM

Is it okay if I drink wine? Is it okay if I'm a straight male that drinks wine and watches the Oscars alone with my bottle of wine and tears streaming down my face?

Posted by: Johhny Frankie at March 7, 2010 4:49 PM

Crap, I spelled my own fake name wrong that first time.

Posted by: Johnny Frankie at March 7, 2010 4:50 PM

Anyone in the greater metropolitan area of Casper, Wyoming is cordially invited to my Oscar party tonight. I will be serving deer jerky and Lord Calvert. Bring your own gun.

Gozer. Most excellent handle, son.

Posted by: replica at March 7, 2010 5:35 PM

$3 (or less) wine? Goddammit, sign me the fuck up, Johnny! Actually, I went out and picked up some Orange Bacardi Breezers for my cousin and I. Did you know these things taste EXACTLY like Creamsicles?

Fuck yes.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at March 7, 2010 5:48 PM

Castle's on tonight. Guess what I'm watching?

Posted by: BWeaves at March 7, 2010 5:54 PM

I wonder how hairy Mo'Nique's legs are tonight?

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 6:11 PM

Oh hell no. Mo'Nique said she's as honored to be nominated for Precious as she was to star in Soul Plane. ...the fuck? She should be taken out of the running for that comment alone.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 6:13 PM

Chiming in to help Dustin's comment tally, and to cheer for Inglourious B. I predict 2 awards, minimum (but not Pic or Dir, BECAUSE THE FIX IS IN!).

Also? Wow is it nice to have a horse in the Oscar race for once...

Posted by: Ranylt at March 7, 2010 6:32 PM

Go Sandra B. !!

And forget the Razzies.

Posted by: jotrys at March 7, 2010 6:49 PM

How the hell did Alice in Wonderland break $100m? 3-D, wave of the future.

Posted by: Mick J at March 7, 2010 6:54 PM

I've been hearing rumors that something called "The Oscars" is on tv tonight. But unless the winners use their speeches to discuss how theories of comparative politics address development, I will continue to study for my comprehensive exams which are a mere 3 weeks away.

That said, I do hope James Cameron and Avatar strike out tonight. That smug dillhole does not need to be awarded for making a movie that looks like what would happen if the Smurfs fucked Ferngully.

Posted by: stewey at March 7, 2010 7:07 PM

My tighty-whiteys are painfully bunched, but I kind of dig it. Also, I'm pulling for Up in the Air -- it was my favorite movie of the year, save for (500) Days. For those whose identity is wrapped up closely with their jobs, I think it hit home pretty hard.

Also, woah! Is Mo'Nique talking open marriages and hairy legs on Barbara Walters? I'm going to need another box of wine.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 7:11 PM

Cameron's wife is PAINFULLY thin...

Posted by: d at March 7, 2010 7:21 PM

Oops, suzy amis, actress. still awfully thin though, like, unhealthy, not looking good so. sheesh...

Posted by: d at March 7, 2010 7:23 PM

To hell with the Academy Awards. And screw the nominees - screw them all right in the ear with a big stainless steel dildo. Then break it off and beat them to death with the rest of it.

I'm watching Goodfellas on AMC. I shall take a sip of the Jameson's for everyone who gets shot.

Posted by: The Wanderer at March 7, 2010 7:26 PM

"curdless your cream"

Haha.

Posted by: tiggyT at March 7, 2010 7:26 PM

CURDLES, i mean :)

Posted by: tiggyT at March 7, 2010 7:27 PM

I keep switching back and forth between red carpet coverage with Ryan Seacrest and Dumb and Dumber.

I figure the content is interchangeable.

BAZING!

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 7:29 PM

If Avatar wins Best Picture it will signify the end of the style over substance debate. Gaga already did it to music...

Fuck you. All of you. I'm fuckin' sick of the Lady Gaga hate. Style over substance? Granted that is all taste, but she would hardly be the first to prove that (Britney Spears, in my lifetime anyway). However, she does actually have well structured pop songs that she writes (as far as we know). What the fuck else do you people want?

Save that shit for the next cookie cutter pop star like Heidi Montag, fuckers.

I love this fucking site.

"If fashion is porn, this dress is the money shot." 17-year-old Gabourey Sidibe, ladies and gentlemen.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 7:42 PM

AH!

Gabourey Sidibe just said , "If fashion was porn, this dress would be the money shot."

Too cute.

I am so jealous of how much fun she is. I'm looking for a career, I wonder if she needs a personal assistant.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 7:42 PM

You know, I gave A Single Man a moderate-to-good review months back, but it's stayed with me, and even grown on me quite a bit. I really hope Ford makes another film. With the same composer and DP.

Posted by: Ranylt at March 7, 2010 7:44 PM

I am sad to say, Ranylt, that of all the films with any real nominations, A Single Man is one of the three I missed this year (the others being The Messenger and Nine). It did look pretty, though.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 7:48 PM

Yeah, D, A Single Man (speaking of "style over substance") was accused of being all pretty, no soul...but a soulless film doesn't STICK with folks the way this one seems to have done.

Posted by: Ranylt at March 7, 2010 7:51 PM

Gabourey rocks.

"Get this. Get ALL of this."

brilliant.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 7:53 PM

And the Oscar for Best Picture goes to Up ...

(Pixar staff leaps up exultantly)

... in the Air...

PS: I'd be thrilled if Up won, but think it's a crime that Coraline isn't nominated for Best Picture OR for Music.


Posted by: Bluesilver at March 7, 2010 7:56 PM

Come on, Precious. If "my favorite color is fluorescent beige" doesn't win them best editing, I lose all faith in the Academy.

Posted by: Robert at March 7, 2010 7:56 PM

Either Up in the Air or Precious should win Best Director, but Best Picture's a tough call, Avatar wasn't the best movie of the year, but it's easily the most memorable, and the one people will most likely talk about in 20 years.

Posted by: George at March 7, 2010 7:59 PM

Okay, so Jeremy Feist made the obvious joke before I did. Hell, it's probably been done to death by now.

I want to state once again:

"I was hiding under your porch because I love you!"

Posted by: Bluesilver at March 7, 2010 8:00 PM

Why limit predictions to the main categories only? That's what makes the Oscars predictable and slightly boring. On the other hand documentaries, short films and foreign movies are where the competition really lies. Some outstanding movies in there. Btw, I saw The Hurt Locker yesterday. It was awesome.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 8:00 PM

You know what? I want Paris 36 to win best song to confound America. That'll teach Adam Shankman to cut the song performances from the Oscars to make time for famewhores to shake their asses on stage. I then hope the winning songwriter gets on stage, gives an unsubtitled/untranslated speech in French that basically says "Fuck you, Shankman. Hairspray was a horrible movie" and gets played off stage to the song no one got to hear because original songs aren't getting performance time.

Posted by: Robert at March 7, 2010 8:03 PM

Why does the lady that George Clooney is with have a horse face?

You would think he can do better than that.

And that Anna Kendrick girl from Up in the Air looks like my ex-girlfriend. It is kind of freaking me out.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at March 7, 2010 8:06 PM

pissant you the man! Seriously shut up about Lady Gaga, she's a great singer and performer.

Now as far as this vanity fair known as the Oscars goes...

Best Picture - Avatar (should be Hurt Locker)

Best Director - Kathryn Bigelow

Best Actor - Jeff Bridges (I'll have to take everyone's word for it, though Sam Rockwell should've been nominated.)

Best Actress - Sandra Bullock (to be honest, the only performance I've seen is Gabourey Sidibe who didn't really deserve the nomination but Streep, Mirren have already won so it makes sense to me Bullock will win.)

Best Supporting Actor - Christoph Waltz

Best Supporting Actress - Mo'Nique (well deserved)

Best Original Screenplay - Inglorious Basterds (though I have a sneaking suspicion Hurt Locker will win)

Best Adapted Screenplay - Up in the Air (Though District 9 should win.)

Wow. This really was a TERRIBLE year for movies.

Posted by: Littlejon2001 at March 7, 2010 8:09 PM

The great thing about J. Lo's dress is that it doubles as Kleenex.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 8:14 PM

I think poor SJP fell into a vat of spray-on tan.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 8:15 PM

bob - Shut the fuck up.

Posted by: b at March 7, 2010 8:15 PM

SJP yes, but when they started discussing her dress Broderick looked like he wanted to run away.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at March 7, 2010 8:19 PM

re: JLo's dress, my husband passing through the room asks "Why does she have a labia on the front of her dress?"

Posted by: krix at March 7, 2010 8:19 PM

i hope titanic wins.

Whoopi G-berg just told me 1 in 3 women piss themselves.....what.....the fuck....how did i not know this!

Posted by: Nunzio Badalamenti at March 7, 2010 8:20 PM

Is anyone else watching the live stream on Oscar.com?

Posted by: Doric at March 7, 2010 8:20 PM

Miley Cyrus has enough money, she needs to pay someone to remind her to stand up straight.

Also, WHY IS SHE THERE??!!??

As a side note, Cameron Diaz is looking better than she has in years. Not quite Mask beautiful, but she really looks lovely. Whatever she's done she needs to keep doing.

RE: The Remember Me promos.
This is Rrrrr.Pattzzzz trying to be a "for serial, guys!" actor? Based on the music and the finger prints quote I'm gonna guess that he totally "Walk to Remember"'s it at the end. That's gotta be it. Coincidentally, the frequency of those ads is straight up killing me.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 8:20 PM

to be honest, the only performance I've seen is Gabourey Sidibe who didn't really deserve the nomination

Blasphemy! Gabby was gold in Precious. Did you see her steal that bucket of fried chicken from the restaurant and run through NYC while eating? Bitch did her own stunts and has worked the campaign trail like the rent was due. Who would you have nominated instead? Emily Blunt? Saiorse Ronan? Michelle Pfeiffer?

Posted by: Robert at March 7, 2010 8:22 PM

Doric, there's a live stream of the ceremony on Oscar.com? All I see are prerecorded clips.

Posted by: Ranylt at March 7, 2010 8:24 PM

Kayanne -- From what I've heard (spoilers), he "Walks to Remember" it at the end on 9/11. #tragedyexploitationfail

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 8:24 PM

krix, oh my god I thought the same damn thing. Everyone keeps talking about how great her dress is and all I kept thinking was, "Naturally. Who doesn't like I good Predator vagina jumping off someone's hip?"

UGH. This red carpet chick (the non-Sherri Shepard one) on ABC is making me appreciate the hacks on E! Sheesh.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 8:24 PM

Taylor Lautner makes me appreciate Shia LaBeouf.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 8:26 PM

@b. Vancouver was the best winter games that I have ever been to and I have been to 4. It was so wrong but so good, just like J.Lo's dress.

Posted by: bob at March 7, 2010 8:26 PM

yer, a lot of women needed to be told to STAND UP STRAIGHT! It's an epidemic. and the woman on CTV was just so damn patronizing to Gabby just now. GRRR!

Posted by: d at March 7, 2010 8:26 PM

Taylor Lautner makes me wonder what the serious fuck is wrong with people.

(I'm spleeny--I can't watch the Oscars so I'm spleeny.)

Posted by: Ranylt at March 7, 2010 8:27 PM

Sorry Gaga fans, I just wanted to vent because I'm expecting the worst to happen tonight. Not enough booze in the world can help me if Avatar wins everything.

Posted by: schrome at March 7, 2010 8:28 PM

Yeah the non-Sherri Shepard one looks like an aging drag queen, but without the patter.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 8:28 PM

@littlejon2001-

I'm with you on every one of those picks except Original Screenplay: It's going to Mark Boal for Hurt Locker (your 'sneaking suspicion' is right, if you ask me.)

And that red carpet interview crap just set a new highwater mark for insulting, incomprehensible stupidity. How on God's green earth do the actors deal with those, ahem, questions?

Posted by: Norm Schrager at March 7, 2010 8:31 PM

Yeah NPH!

Posted by: Nunzio Badalamenti at March 7, 2010 8:32 PM

I'm going to be pissed if they don't show the ceremony online. Don't have access to my TV right now.

Posted by: Doric at March 7, 2010 8:32 PM

NPH!!!

Posted by: Jules at March 7, 2010 8:33 PM

i normally love me some NPH, but what is this fuckery?

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 8:33 PM

Rowles, FUCK. You're shitting me right? Really. Really? Really. 9/11. Nine fucking Eleven. All the beach reed promo posters and swooning collegiate love scenes and pissed off dad confrontations all for a "LOVE DIES BY TERRORISM" cop out? They couldn't even have him reveal his inoperable "funsuckitis" to the Dad and then they bond over a game of scrabble and the dad gives his consent and then the daughter marries him hospital bedside? No? THEY HAD TO GO FOR THE CHEAP FUCKING TEARS WITH THE EXPLOITATION LOW BLOW?!?! Dumb asses.

That makes Twilight seem like a fucking brilliant decision. At least then you know that asshole is already dead inside.

Meryl Streep should always show up to award shows tipsy. It only makes me love her more.

The line-up was dumb as hell and totally pointless, until I saw Gabourey give a little shimmy and then I realized all of this 3 hour show-boating is for that little girl to be a fucking princess. Seriously, there's always one person nominated that's just stoked to be there and is going to milk the magic for all it's worth. Bless you, Miss Sidibe.

Yay! NPH. So sparkly.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 8:34 PM

I'm going to have to agree, stopthemadness.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 8:35 PM

Wow. Miley Cyrus is just not pretty.

I'm being serious.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 8:37 PM

Ok, gotta admit, Steve and Alec have made me laugh a few times now.

"Did I pronounce that right? Up... in the Air?"

"That's DAME."

Drink foe a JERK reference!!

Posted by: Nunzio Badalamenti at March 7, 2010 8:39 PM

I just love that Gabourey didn't get The Jerk reference, but her mother did.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 8:40 PM

Baldwin and Martin, bad chemistry, poor delivery and not that funny so far :/

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 8:40 PM

Poor Meryl has that "this is gonna be a long night" laugh with her husband...

Why is George so glum?

Posted by: amanda47 at March 7, 2010 8:42 PM

Oh man it's like a bad SNL skit.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 8:43 PM

Aww a Jerk joke.

I'm hoping that the first cut-away of James Cameron where the crew hadn't lit him, was not a gaffe and rather totally intentional. He can spend 80 jillion dollars on a movie, but that doesn't mean anyone wants to see his old-lady hair cut.

Is George Clooney the new Jack Nicholson of Oscar cut-aways?

Can Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock make-out again? They look so pretty and drunk tonight, it should happen.

Zac Efron, get a haircut. Lautner, get a personality.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 8:43 PM

First Jew joke of the night. Marlon Brando was right, we do run Hollywood. Keep 'em coming boys.

Posted by: Norm Schrager at March 7, 2010 8:43 PM

God damn, why is George wearing his bitchface?

Posted by: Gabs at March 7, 2010 8:43 PM

Whooh, Clooney does not look amused, does he?

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 8:44 PM

He does look pissed. It makes me happy.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at March 7, 2010 8:44 PM

What is up with Clooney! Miserable!

Posted by: elusive at March 7, 2010 8:44 PM

They should have just gotten either Martin OR Baldwin ALONE.

(I would have gone with Baldwin)

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 8:44 PM

I thought he had on the stink face as part of the joke, Amanda.

These jokes are painful. Half the people aren't even laughing. This is like dinner theater or bad stand up.

George Cameron's wife looks like hell.

So sorry Mr. Plummer.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 8:49 PM

I loved Up! and think it is so much better than Avatar, I really hope Avatar does NOT win. I loved District 9 also, it would be amazing if that won.

Why is that guy who played the kid in the wheelchair in Avatar such a pissy bitch? He and his date glared at the wispy sprite joke, don't get it. The egos runneth over.

Posted by: Viking at March 7, 2010 8:50 PM

Dustin, ha!

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 8:51 PM

Yea, I think the George Clooney stink face is a part of the joke. His miserable look is like a rimshot so that people know they can laugh and tip their waiters. Either that or nobody washed Cameron's hair and dude smells like kitty litter.

See what I did there?

Christopher Waltz is terrifyingly hot. Like, he makes me scared.

Hey Arr Squared! Betty White would've intro'ed it better. And looked hotter.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 8:51 PM

I thought it was a joke too but George definitely looks like he doesn't want to be there and/or got in a fight in the limo.

Posted by: amanda47 at March 7, 2010 8:52 PM

Wow, let's just ignore the fact that Sam Worthington is one of the biggest actors in Hollywood right now.

Why are Amanda and Riley wearing prom dresses? Riley looks especially constipated.

The animation interviews were the best part so far.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 9:02 PM

Amanda totally outclasses Miley. It's almost unfair to put them together, but at the same time, it's totally just.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:02 PM

Umm, Christoph Waltz (supporting actor), Up (animated film), and song from Crazy Heart. Am I missing any?

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 9:11 PM

and did anything interesting happen? any great jokes? anything at all?

Posted by: morty at March 7, 2010 9:11 PM

Eee! Boy-crush-girl-crush-double-swoon!

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 9:12 PM

Crazy Heart won best song.
Christoph Waltz won Best Supporting
Up won best animated film.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 9:12 PM

@morty

NPH was singing. And I missed it too.

Tina and Robert Downey Jr. are up. I want to bang them both so hard.

Posted by: Doric at March 7, 2010 9:12 PM

Thanks tiggy. awesome.

Posted by: morty at March 7, 2010 9:13 PM

"..Obliiiiiiige him..."

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 9:15 PM

Get in line, Doric. Or join in....

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 9:16 PM

Enjoyed Tina and RDJ. And yesssssss for Hurt Locker!

Posted by: Gabs at March 7, 2010 9:16 PM

Mmmmmmm Hurt Locker is starting to rack 'em up.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 9:16 PM

I wish I had seen The Hurt Locker so I could say whether Up or Inglorious Basterds got robbed or the award for The Hurt Locker was deserved

Posted by: Radlum at March 7, 2010 9:16 PM

And the disappointment begins.

Posted by: Yossarian at March 7, 2010 9:17 PM

Sweet. It's 1986!

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:17 PM

RDJ makes me warm in my no no area.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 9:17 PM

This is the first in a series of awards for The Hurt Locker. I think it deserves the awards it's gonna get.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:18 PM

I was going to ask why Molly Ringwald was wearing that, but then she started to talk about Hughes and I shut my mouth.

*sniffle*

Rest in peace, Mr. Hughes.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:21 PM

Great tribute to John Hughes.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:22 PM

Damn, I didn't realize John Hughes worked with all those actors.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 9:22 PM

Best homage ever.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 9:22 PM

Did they do a dead people montage yet?

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:23 PM

Awww. It's my high school, junior high again. It bums me out how bad teen movies are now.

Holy pointy chin Ali Sheedy!

Posted by: amanda47 at March 7, 2010 9:23 PM

I'm still saying The Hurt Locker wasn't that great.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at March 7, 2010 9:24 PM

Slutty Cyrus? What the fuck is she doing there?
bitch needs to cut down to two packs a day.
Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 9:02 PM

BSlim, I think she's there because the others need someone to look down on. She's there as an ego booster, like the 'guests' at an episode of Jerry Springer.

Posted by: The Wanderer at March 7, 2010 9:24 PM

They could have given the writing award to Quentin, because you know he doesn't stand a chance for Best Picture or Best Director.

I feel it's going to be all Avatars and Hurt Lockers from here on. Jeff Bridges & Sandy Bullocks. I might go to bed early.

Posted by: Yossarian at March 7, 2010 9:24 PM

Kristen Stewart -- take a good look at Ally Sheedy. That's you in 20 years.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:25 PM

So I'm crying a little during the John Hughes segment.

Not all assholes have hearts of stone.

Posted by: PissBoy at March 7, 2010 9:25 PM

OHGOD! The opening score from Up. Even the first few notes get me all misty-eyed. Following the Hughes tribute? Lord, I'm done for.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:25 PM

what the fuck happened to judd nelson? great googly moogly.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 9:26 PM

Haha Dustin, I noticed she didn't look that interested in the tribute. Bitch needs to recognize.

Posted by: Mick J at March 7, 2010 9:26 PM

oh...and before I forget...

Holy shit!!! It's Cleopatra Ringwald!!!!

Posted by: PissBoy at March 7, 2010 9:26 PM

Was that the kid from Home Alone thanking John Hughes? Is it just me or does he look like he's been living rough for the last couple of years?

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:28 PM

The score for Up is genius. The same melody is used to fit any mood just depending on the arrangement/instruments/tempo. Never heard anything like it.

Posted by: Mick J at March 7, 2010 9:29 PM

I just realized that I've been confusing John Cryer with Matthew Broderick for years.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:29 PM

It's ridiculous how completely awesome Carey Mulligan is. Meanwhile, I wouldn't want to bump into Zoe Saldana on the street. Mostly because her shoulder blade could pierce through my skin.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:30 PM

Shorts should get so much more recognition. It's not all Avatars and Hurt Lockers. Are shorts shown on the big screen in the U.S? We never get them here.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:31 PM

Is Ally Sheedy a meth addict now?

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:31 PM

Che -- why is it that only female contributors have fathers?

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:32 PM

Wallace & Gromit was great fun but haven't seen the others. Pity

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:33 PM

Ooh some weirdness on stage. Who dat interrupting the camp black fella?!

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:35 PM

Who the fuck is this fat red head bitch??!!!

Rudest Oscar moment ever...in 3, 2, 1...

Posted by: PissBoy at March 7, 2010 9:35 PM

Who the fuck is the crazy redheaded lady who just Kanye'd the director of "Music by Prudence"? That was insane!

Posted by: Martin at March 7, 2010 9:36 PM

damn, that white lady just went straight kanye.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 9:36 PM

Posted by: Kylie at March 7, 2010 9:36 PM

What was that all about?

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:36 PM

Who was that strange woman who rushed the stage? I believe they call that a Kanye!

Posted by: elusive at March 7, 2010 9:36 PM

Ok, am I the only one who caught Streep poking her own boob during that one guy's speech?

Oh, T-Bone Streep, never change.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:37 PM

Lol. She stole his speech. I love documentaries. Burma VJ is possibly the best film out of all the 47 nominated.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:37 PM

I have completely re-assessed my take on anything red-head this weekend. Fuck em all. They're rude, obnoxious, and they interrupt directors of awesome shorts.

Posted by: PissBoy at March 7, 2010 9:37 PM

who the hell was that?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 9:37 PM

Shit, this is really scaring me.

That woman was rude as hell.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 9:39 PM

oh ben stiller. why?

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 9:39 PM

Hey, we're not all rude, PissBoy! But yeah, what the fuck WAS that?

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 9:39 PM

HA! James Cameron does not have a sense of humor. He's soooooooooooo fucking pissed. It took three cut-away shots for him to laugh.

GET A HAIR CUT!

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:40 PM

Ben Stiller might be a bit stupid and does terrible movies but he's the only one to get two proper laughs out of me tonight

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:40 PM

Is that lady sitting next to James Cameron his current wife?

/downgrade

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:41 PM

Ben Stiller not particularly funny either and to think we could have had Sacha Baron Cohen.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:41 PM

Oh please stop, Ben Stiller.

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 9:41 PM

OH BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROTHER

Dear Make-up Dude,

Only on man can rock a backwards Kangal hat. I don't care if you're balding, that look belongs to Sam Jackson. Even LL knew to retire that jam.

Please remember this for next year.

Love,
Everyone

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:44 PM

Does anyone really care about best makeup or best sound for that matter? Should remove technical shit and do genres: best horror and best comedy would be fun

I'm sorry, but the script was the worst part of Precious. That belonged to In the Loop.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:50 PM

Why is Rachel Mac phoning it in.

You better than that, gurl!

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 9:51 PM

Another black guy giving an acceptance speech!

Watch out for middle aged white women storming the stage!

Posted by: Martin at March 7, 2010 9:51 PM

Damn it. Precious still hasn't hit our cinemas. Will do so in a week or two. Can't wait.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 9:52 PM

"I wrote that speech for him" an ad lib from Martin and way funnier than any of the scripted jokes that have been falling flat all night.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:53 PM

Wow, Queen Latifah looks fit. Go, chickie!

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 9:53 PM

Martin = Win.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 9:53 PM

Queen Latifah is so cute, I loved the wave and excitement when she got on stage.

Posted by: Reina at March 7, 2010 9:53 PM

Did the black guy just say I'm drunk or was it just me? He kinda looked like he was.

Posted by: heado at March 7, 2010 9:54 PM

@Dustin

I think there's a bit of a British backlash this year.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 9:54 PM

Rowles, ummm, I thought that Screenplay awards were typically the "runner-up" awards for best picture. That makes me nervous that Avatar will actually win for for Best Picture.

Dammit.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 9:55 PM

Did the black guy just say I'm drunk or was it just me?

I couldn't tell if he was overwhelmed or just slow.

I haven't seen Precious, but I got chills just from the clip that was shown. Wow.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 10:02 PM

I'm kinda scared of watching Precious. It looks hattowing

Posted by: baldy at March 7, 2010 10:02 PM

Anyone else just catch Samuel L. Jackson passing JUDGEMENT?

Posted by: Martin at March 7, 2010 10:03 PM

Does anyone else find it odd that every time Precious is mentioned, they cut away to a black actor? Because I'm sure Sam Jackson can relate to Precious.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 10:03 PM

I'm sorry, but it's still true; Cameron's wife looks like a succubus.

I'd do her too, Che.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 10:08 PM

Wow. That first guy got halfway into James Cameron's large intestine before getting cut off.

Posted by: Martin at March 7, 2010 10:08 PM

I see you, Keanu Reeves!

Sarah Jessica looks like a piece of leather.

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 10:09 PM

I don't understand SJP's dress.

Posted by: Gabs at March 7, 2010 10:10 PM

Tom Ford was just NAILING "Blue Steel".

Posted by: Martin at March 7, 2010 10:10 PM

SJP,

Girl fix your hair.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 10:11 PM

Oh sweet fuck I'm dizzy. I love you guys.

Posted by: Johnny Frankie at March 7, 2010 10:12 PM

Are Charlize's tits deflating or is that the dress?

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 10:12 PM

What the heck accent does Tom Ford have? Is he hoity toity American? British smoothed out? Ex-South African? It's just plain weird.

God bless you costume lady for not being boring. (There used to be 2 awards- one color, one black and white which was basically period vs. modern.)

ooohh I'm mesmorized by Charlize's breast area...

Posted by: amanda47 at March 7, 2010 10:13 PM

I know Charlize is single now, but did she really need to wear a dress with hypno-boobs? I think she's lovely enough that she doesn't need swirly tassels on her breasts to bring in the menfolk.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 10:13 PM

Wha...why are the Twilight people coming up? Was Miley Cyrus not punishment enough?

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 10:13 PM

That was sweet of her to dedicate it to the ones which don't get recognised, and she didn't even thank her mum and her dog. Awesome.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 10:14 PM

Oh my god who was that woman who won Costume Design? SHE IS AWESOME!!!

Finally someone stands up for contemporary pieces and makes a statement about the Academy always putting in Period Pieces for Costume Design.

Why are there Twilight kids at the Oscars again?

Posted by: Gabs at March 7, 2010 10:14 PM

Going from Sigourney Weaver to Sarah Jessica Parker is like eating dessert before dinner, a dinner of pig trotters in feces.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 10:14 PM

I like SJP's dress except for that it really needs a waistline. The color, fabric and detailing are nice, but it just looks unfinished and sack-like.

Earlier this week an add aired for some cosmetic product that supposedly lifts your skin and defies aging or some such nonsense. SJP is the spokesmodel in the commercial. I knew it was airbrushed, I just didn't realize how MUCH.

Posted by: Viking at March 7, 2010 10:16 PM

Oh, normally I think she's okay, ,. Not a traditional beauty, but she has fun with what she's got. Tonight, though, she looks...overcooked.

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 10:16 PM

Is it me or did SJP look like JFL?

Posted by: RancorPro at March 7, 2010 10:17 PM

The day that Taylor Lautner actually wins an Oscar is the day I had the reigns over to George. That dude has no business being on that stage in any capacity.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 10:18 PM

Okay I laughed out loud at the Paranormal Activity spoof, plus extra points for making me think of Bert and Ernie.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 10:18 PM

You know what's true horror?

ClenchJaw McSourpuss and Notalent Hairgel.

Although I must say that, for once, Ms. McSourpuss finally picked an event appropriate look.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 10:20 PM

That clip was creepier than Paranormal Activity.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 10:20 PM

Maaaan what a sad future awaits Hollywood, that CroMag looking himbo and Cunty McCuntface, together they rack a staggering -20 in the charisma meter.

TWILIGHT IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE.

oh, just fuck me dead.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 10:22 PM

why the hell was there a Twilight shot in the horror sequence???

Posted by: sf at March 7, 2010 10:22 PM

Twilight was in the horror montage? Well, that's...oddly appropriate, actually.

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 10:22 PM

Oh look, a montage of all the movies and creatures that Hollywood will soon ruin.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at March 7, 2010 10:22 PM

So Dustin will you be starting the Shia LaBeouf appreciation society?

Posted by: bob at March 7, 2010 10:22 PM

Did they really just include Twilight in the horror tribute? That squishy faced guy was right, the Academy shits all over horror films.

Posted by: schrome at March 7, 2010 10:23 PM

HA! I saw that clip of Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun, Academy Awards Show Editors. Jen hates talking about/referencing/acknowledging that movie. Clearly, someone's team Angelina.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 10:23 PM

Zack is his own horror of being "16-looking" forever.

Posted by: RancorPro at March 7, 2010 10:24 PM

Oh, come on, people. It was pretty horrifying.

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 10:24 PM

Why did they put a clip of Twilight in a horror movie montage? Wait, are the Oscars supposed to be ironic tonight? Is it a leap year?

Oh who cares, Morgan Freeman's doing a talk over segment, all is well.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 10:24 PM

Did they really just include Twilight in the horror tribute?

Yeah, that just made me angry all over.

And that sound editing thing was pointless.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 10:24 PM

Amazing! The horror tribute was by far the best thing all night and won't be topped:

Psycho, Scream, Nosferatu, Jaws... I can go to bed now.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 10:25 PM

That's TWO for Hurt Locker, suck it Cameron!

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 7, 2010 10:25 PM

I can't watch the Oscars, owing to my not having enough money for cable, but I think the time may have come for a real live chat program on this site, so you don't have to reload the page all the time.

So much personal drama!!!

Where's the clip of C.Waltz saying "This is so exciting" when you need it?

Twi-what? Let's pretend that didn't happen.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 10:27 PM

Katherine Bigelow looks pretty hot tonight too. I want me an old lady threesome with her and Sigourney Weaver. A little 3 way kinky sex never HRT anyone.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 10:27 PM

I also loved the Twilight chick's utterly deadpan and stuttering speach.

Posted by: Squeeg at March 7, 2010 10:28 PM

We thought he looked more like Chris Elliott in Scary Movie 2 or Harold & Kumar.

Posted by: Yossarian at March 7, 2010 10:28 PM

OK, I get it Academy Awards; I was dumb for choosing to go to the theater instead of going to see The Hurt Locker last week, I will make up for my mistake and watch it next week.

I'm glad Transformers did not win for the only oscar it was nominated for. I hate it when a bad film wins anything, even if in theory it deserves a technical Oscar.

I always love the dead people montage. Always gets to me.

In Memoriam was very sad, I forgot we lost Swayze, Dom Deluise and Carradine this year.

RIP Natasha Richardson. Too young, too good. So tragic.

Did they forget Farrah Fawcett?

Posted by: Katie at March 7, 2010 10:44 PM

Wait, I just remembered. Did anyone see Farraw Fawcett in the tribute?

how much was J-Lo's bubble wrap dress?

Posted by: RancorPro at March 7, 2010 10:45 PM

@RancorPro

That may be true, but in the ad he just looks a bit fat faced. I think it's his lips, he has fat person lips.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 10:46 PM

Re: Farrah...
Was she in any "movie" other than Cannonball Run?

Posted by: RancorPro at March 7, 2010 10:46 PM

Didn't see Farrah.

Yo what the hell am I watching right now?

Posted by: Mick J at March 7, 2010 10:47 PM

Yikes, I'd think Farrah would belong here more than Michael Jackson, yes?

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 10:48 PM

Adam Shankman, your direction of this show just fucking sucks

Posted by: krix at March 7, 2010 10:48 PM

taylor lautner has no business standing so close to the likes of meryl streep.

horrifying.

Not feeling the "Step up 2 the streets" tactic for the film score. It's just weird.

Dancing... that means time to go for a piss and get more alcohol

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 10:49 PM

Yeah last June I heard a famous, white chick died and I just assumed they meant Michael Jackson.

YES and he sounds fat.

What's all this f'in dancing?

Sucks about Farrah, but......Bea Arthur? Anyone?

THAT'S inexcusable.

How on earth does Taylor Lautner get speaking parts? I could maybe understand if this was the Valentino-era 1920s, but Sweet Freaking Pie Crust Jesus -- as soon as this cadaver opens his mouth...

I caan't staand it!

Is this Jaberwocky? Or is that too youthful?

Posted by: amanda47 at March 7, 2010 10:50 PM

Tweet from Roger Ebert:

WTF? Cinematography for "Avatar" and all that CGI and green screen? Not for Basterds or White Ribbon?

I love that he's all "WTF" these days (and "fuck," when the maggot bites him). For some reason that is my idea of awesome.

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 10:54 PM

YES!

I'm so excited that Up won for best score. The story held my attention, the visuals held my gaze, but that score held my heart. And what a sweet speech.

So full of warm fuzzies.

Kinda feel sad District 9 is not getting any love though.

What the fuck is Keanu Reeves doing at the Oscars?

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 11:10 PM

Grrrrr

I don't know how it's possible, but Bigelow looks more beautiful every time they show her on camera. Seriously, everyone else looks like they're exhausted/annoyed/drunk/poorly lit, etc., but she looks radiant.

I so desperately hope I age half that well.

Why all the Tyler Perry hate?

#that'snotarealquestion

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at March 7, 2010 11:12 PM

Hurt Locker vs Avatar for Best Picture is an interesting philosophical battle. Harsh reality versus extreme escapism..it's like a microcosmic battle of humanity's collective soul or some shit.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 11:13 PM

@schrome,

I'm glad you're not letting go of it. I'm not either. Most bizarre and entertaining moment of the Oscars so far by a country mile

Posted by: Martin at March 7, 2010 11:13 PM

I agree with Kayanne, Bigelow looks amazing.

Why is it that the foreign language films tend to be of such consistently high quality every year and the rest vary so much?

Cameron's face is all "I wasn't nominated for this one, so hurry the hell up, asshole."

Posted by: Brie at March 7, 2010 11:19 PM

Awww the Argentinean director made a joke about Na'vi not being considered a foreign language, but nobody laughed.

It was a cute joke! They should have given him a pity laugh! They did it for Tyler Perry for crying out loud.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 7, 2010 11:19 PM

Urgh, Avatar looks a lot more average in 2D.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 7, 2010 11:21 PM

Dammit, I really wanted The Milk of Sorrow to win, but at least Haneke's movie didn't so I guess it wasn't that bad. At least Ricardo Darin is in the winning movie.

Posted by: Radlum at March 7, 2010 11:21 PM

Whoever says 2009 was a bad year for film just doesn't get out much. Those 5 foreigns were just the tip of the iceberg, people. I had to pick 10 movies for a recent Best of 2009 list and nearly drove myself nuts leaving stuff off. And only one of those many choices came from this year's Oscar noms.

Posted by: Ranylt at March 7, 2010 11:22 PM

If inflation is taken into consideration Avatar and Titanic are probably not the highest grossing so Cameron should get that smirk off his face... and rumour has it that Deep Throat raked in more than Titanic ever did.

Posted by: barf at March 7, 2010 11:22 PM

now i'm starting to understand the avatar hate. not much to look at in 2D.

Posted by: stopthemadness at March 7, 2010 11:23 PM

@barf

I'm pretty sure that when adjusting for inflation that Gone with the Wind is the highest grossing film of all time by far. Which I kinda like.

Posted by: mrn at March 7, 2010 11:24 PM

Why is it that the foreign language films tend to be of such consistently high quality every year and the rest vary so much?

well you've got the world to pick from, you know? it easy to find the gems in such a large market. On the other hand, why they consistently seem better than the movies in our Best Picture category, sometimes, we nominate the wrong damn movies.

WHERE THE F*CK ARE BROGHT STAR and MOON?

Posted by: laurel at March 7, 2010 11:25 PM

Yay, Jeff! ....but...cue the piano music already. Jeez.

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 11:36 PM

Kylie I agree with both of your sentiments. It's awkward and uncomfortable, just like I imagine the look Renner shared with his mom (aka, his date) while Colin spoke fondly of "that night in Mexico."

Although I'd have love to have been a fly on the wall during that spooning session. No wait. I wanna be the pillow. Yea. That'd be fun.

Holy crap, Mrs. Bridges is SMOKING.

and dammit... now I'm crying because that was a really nice speech

What kills the Oscars is the glut of movie awards/events from critics associations/producers/writers/actors/guilds/Golden Globes/etc.

And Quentin's never winning one, which sucks.

Posted by: Mick J at March 7, 2010 11:59 PM

shut up.

IT WON!

Playing "I Am Woman" seemed more than a bit corny there...

Ooh, yay Hurt Locker!

Posted by: meaux at March 7, 2010 11:59 PM

That's right, Tom. The anti-streisand.

Posted by: Rick at March 7, 2010 11:59 PM

Screw the movie theater, I'm going to ilegally download The Hurt Locker right now

Love you Sgt. Taylor in 329th EOD.

Maybe women one day will learn to wear practical stuff. Who is the idiot who designs a dress which doesn't let you climb a couple of stairs comfortably, and who is the bigger idiot who decides to wear it?

HURT LOCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They deserve it so much.

Go get 'em Radium. God speed.

Posted by: Mick J at March 8, 2010 12:00 AM

I'm just so relieved Avatar did not win and Cameron didn't get best director. He's a notorious dick and his movie lacked emotional depth.

Posted by: Viking at March 8, 2010 12:01 AM

Sandra Bullock made me tear up a bit. I'm happy for her! I still think she'd be fun to have a beer with.

Posted by: Viking at March 7, 2010 11:53 PM

People in this country elected a shithead to the office of President because they thought he would be fun to have a beer with.

Awww she's shaking. You go, Kathryn! Way to be classy and lovely and so obviously excited for the movie.

YAY!

Posted by: Kayanne at March 8, 2010 12:01 AM

Tom Hanks with the shocking announcement, just straight into it, I dig it. Babs is still a bitch.

Posted by: Mick J at March 8, 2010 12:02 AM

I love how Katherine is just so giggly. So happy for her.

Posted by: Brie at March 8, 2010 12:02 AM

Nice one. The Hurt Locker deserves it... Bloody hell, it's 6am. That's dedication for you. Maybe I'll get an hour and a half sleep now

Posted by: barf at March 8, 2010 12:02 AM

Wow... I can now go enjoy Blade Trinity a happy girl.

My faith in the academy has been slightly restored by not giving Avatar best director or picture (hey, special effects was totally deserved).

Seeing the three boys in the back with their arms around each other cheering and yelling - awesome display of celebration. They are gonna all have a lot of fun tonight.

Good for Hurt Locker. Now it is time for a little Ryan Reynolds goodness

Posted by: Kylie at March 8, 2010 12:03 AM

@Radium

As long as you buy the Blu-ray when it comes out, I think it's okay to download that movie. Not legally, but morally at least.

Posted by: Jiggles at March 8, 2010 12:03 AM

All is right in the world.

Posted by: schrome at March 8, 2010 12:04 AM

Seriously, and I was thinking that this year would be my breaking point, and fuck it all if the Academy didn't actually come through for me. That's just...so damn satisfying.

The only downside is that Up In The Air didn't win anything :(

Posted by: ChristianH at March 8, 2010 12:04 AM

yes. yes. yes!! good night. Everyone that I cared about and wanted to win, won. Thank you academy for not making me all moody and pissed off and mad that i stayed up till midnight.

Posted by: k at March 8, 2010 12:06 AM

Pkay...now that the oscars are over we need to answer the big questions...

1st one, WHO THE FUCK was that lady that interrupted for Best Documentary Short Film? Dudeman was the only name on the nomination ballot...so fuck her. Who was she? Someone's mom?

I want to win an Oscar too, but you didn't see my mom up there cutting off Burman while he was syaing thatnk you, did you?

Posted by: PisssBoy at March 8, 2010 12:06 AM

More power to Kathryn for having to sit IN FRONT OF her ex-husband and rival all night. *awkward*

I think we're underestimating how frightening it is when they announce your name- I've heard it's like a major shot of adrenalin- and then you have to get up there and try to sound articulate and say something important..

Posted by: amanda47 at March 8, 2010 12:09 AM

O'kay*

Fuck you for my misspellings.

I hope she gets called "Lady Kanye" for the rest of her fucking life.

I guess Cameron's not the king of the world anymore. Not that I mind.
Congrats, Kathryn. Tell your ex to suck it.

Posted by: Inara's Training Partner at March 8, 2010 12:12 AM

Oh man on E!TV- M'onique is directing her own press conference and it's a riot. She's calling on her favorites in the press room and the "#117, then #47" lady is gettin' pissed. But she's calling everyone baby and sugar so it's all good!

Posted by: amanda47 at March 8, 2010 12:12 AM

Pissboy I'll ponder that as I sleep. I finished washing my face and saw her grabbing the mic, but missed that she had no explanation for being there. I just thought the dude next to her was pissed because that wig looked like it could attack at any moment.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 8, 2010 12:13 AM

Cheers, folks.

Thanks to all of you for hanging out tonight. I enjoyed the hell out of the Oscar commentary. Have a great night, and I hope to see you back here tomorrow.

firstly,im sick and tired of hearing how "you can become whatever you want regardless of where you came from and how you were raised" BS..it's always aimed at blacks and i'm sick of how often i'm hearing it in so many of the programs and movies on tv//.it gets old!!
THAT "WE ARE THE WORLD" crap should NOT be introduced into the movie awards.

also,what's with the captioning on the screen during some of those film clips early in the show?? i was confused during the awards a number of times,regarding why some movie clips were being shown at all and me and others watching with me were asking each other "did a movie just win an award"? why the clips?

it seemed darned confusing.

the old style of doing this show was fine.they need to drop the newer formats of the some of the things they were doing..the dancing(ie,dancers segment) imo was idiotic and should've been totally left out.i want to see movie awards for christ sake ,not improvisational or jazz dance.the entire show was horrible.i'm glad however that sandra bullock won an award.i'm certainly glad that "the hurt locker" won/. but apart from those two occurences,it was horrible.i should have waited until the last 15 minutes to watch.and imo "precious " was a horrible movie.i don't care for movies that are made to attempt at pulling people's heart strings for the reason of attempting to 'bring us all together'(more of that we are the world crap).if i want to see a movie depicting some poor black guy or girl or anyone,coming out of the ghetto to evntually rise and shine...oh wait...i won't want to.more of that we are the world crap/.i want to see a good movie,not a movie that's created to encourage diversity,tolerance etc etc..those are life lessons which i already learned apart form movies.i want to be entertained when i go to a movie.

Posted by: Dennis Teel at March 8, 2010 12:45 AM

So sad Up In The Air didn't win for adapted screenplay, I don't think Precious deserved that award at all. The most amazing thing about the book was the way that the style of language used in the narration became better as Precious became more literate. This didn't come across in the film at all. Up In The Air was so well adapted and made more relevant to the current climate, the film was such a moving experience. Shame.

Posted by: P at March 8, 2010 12:47 AM

You know, I gave A Single Man a moderate-to-good review months back, but it's stayed with me, and even grown on me quite a bit. I really hope Ford makes another film. With the same composer and DP.

Feel comfortable with the possibility of starting a big tall relationship in a community where people think just like you. Recapture some of your lovers and try striking up a relationship, whether romantic or just friendship, with a big tall someone! ___Bigtalls * co m__ is your cupid!

Posted by: Obama21 at March 8, 2010 3:26 AM

My favorite moment from the place i was watching the Oscars:

Peter Saaaaaaaaaaaaarsgaaaaaaaaaard is talking about Carey Mulligan. My brother:

Brother: "I heard that she's going to be in the next Herbie the Love Bug movie"

Rubble44: "Bullshit..."

two minutes later....they show Gabourey Sidibe

Rubble44: "I heard she's playing Herbie the Love Bug in the sequel".

Brother: "She'd have to lose some weight to play a two door"

Mrs. Rubble44 to be: "You guys are dicks."

That was my favorite moment. Other good times:

The AlbinoSwede that won for editing

Samuel L. Jackson rolling his eyes after Monique's speech

The thundercunt who Kanye'd her partner. Anyone tries to break into my speech, I'm kicking them in the cooch or testicles....I'm getting my time.

Miley Cyrus apparently has a hunchback from sucking too much achy breaky cock.

The Hurt Locker winning and that guy with the haircut like a 60 year old lesbian cries like a little bitch. Guess he lost the talent in the divorce.

See you next year.......

The Prudence drama is covered on Salon - very interesting!

Wait, the Oscars were on last night?

MOTHERFUCKER!

Posted by: superasente at March 8, 2010 7:51 AM


dustin ... thanks for adding to the comments. it's always a great
night with frayed emotions for the movie nuts of the world. i won't even comment on the awards themselves but 2 observations are :

the 2 man emcee trick didn't work but i'm not sure whether the
fault lies with the martin/baldwin team or the writers ... very weak material.

the red carpet interviewers were awful.

same time, next year.

Don't be afraid to ask questions of those who have traveled down the sports betting path before you, as it can be easy to feel a bit lost at times. But once you get steered back on the right course, your journey can be and should be extremely enjoyable.
