Jo Stewart: “Oscar is 80 this year, which makes him the automantic front runner for the republican nomination”

Hey, I thought that was Jeri Thompson, seen from behind! Where’s Grandpa Fred?

Where are you all? This is the only way I know what’s going on in the world. Univision has some kind of circus act competition on …

testing…

EPU’d (does it matter in an Oscar thread?) - Did anyone see Dennis Hopper’s skit with Rainn Wilson on last night’s Spirit Awards? Hilarious!

Does is matter ever!

Or, Does it ever matter? or Does it ever?

LOL

Dang it, had to run to the store, ran out of Mt Dew.
I missed Jack?!
Dammitall.

Oscars? I gave up on the Oscars when “The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck” didn’t get nominated.
;~(

It depends what “is” is.

OMG, repeats of acceptance speeches. ack!

Some tech either got fried or fired right about now.

Hey, I thought that was Jeri Thompson, seen from behind! Where’s Grandpa Fred?

I don’t think I have seen her from behind…It’s always been Jeri and the twins.

The lady who won for costume design has a dress of amazing construction. I wonder if it is one of her own?

??? Always Be Cool? (I have to lurk at icanhascheezburger to catch up on my abbreviations, like brb, ktnxbai.)

But where’s Remy? (Though it has to be said, Persepolis is an exceedingly strong contender, howsoever utterly different in nature)

ohhhhhhh honnay…..next time my mom tells me my ass is big,i will keep this photo of Beyonce in my purse

Hey Jane, there’s your Resident Evil, in the Diet Coke commercial!

You were expecting?

I thought you wanted to know what network it was on?

Christy!
Tell me you’re wearing a tiara and boa….
And, of course, this has already been addressed…
I was busy with my other life… and I got pre-empted…probably.
But, that’s the image I’ve got in my head.
And, peanut’s the princess, right? Red Carpet?
Oh, right, you’re on the Other Coast.
Hopefully, you can have some tea or otherwise enjoying.

I LOVE that site!!!!!

i was NOT going to watch this tripe,since,i have seen none of the movies,but Jorge Clooooooney,is teh hot

george clooney. swoon!

Wasn’t that great, John Waters and Allison Janney throwing money at the audience was wonderful.

And the shoes?

We can only hope that all the schmalz will be crammed into this intro.

No more, please.

The Peanut’s in bed — but Mr. ReddHedd and I are now settled in — me with some hot tea and we are loving the old Oscar clips.

SO many greats no longer with us…

if it wasnt spontaneous it sure looked that way - i love the looseness of that award show ya know?

Dream on.

mmf. Beyonce ought to look at getting someone to do her a Badgley Mischka gown. Just looking at their designs makes me feel slinky … and I’m short and dumpy.

And Moldy Peaches

I love the schmaltz! It’s the best part

I have a really old lap top, can’t see the shoes?
Are they fabulous?
Oh, shit, it’s bad.
I shit teared up at that montage.
And, we haven’t gotten to best supporting whatever…
I’m from Hollywood.
I get to be dramatic tonight.

i see you’re twisted as i am lol

agaggggggggggggggggggg
Cary Grant!

ok i reallllllllllllllllllly want to see Ratatouie

if i could spell it

Larry Birds brother

we’re big anne hathaway fans in this house!

I meant Christy’s shoes!

Hey!

Katherine Heigl wasn’t struck by lightening after all

I don’t watch for the movies. I never have time to go to the movies, so I rarely have seen them before the Oscars. (Harry Potter and Lord of the RIngs being exceptions–THEM I see on opening weekend)

I watch the Oscars for the clothes and for the gaffs.
And this year b/c a childhood friend of mine is a first time nominee. I’m gonna have to stay up late tonight.

who is the blonde?

How does Katherine Heigel walk in that dress?

OK this red dress drapes beautifully.

Wow, Marylin Monroe look alike.
Pretty.

Ratatouille is excellent. We have watched it a bazillion times at this point, and it stays amusing each and every time.

tehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh kewl!

I love her dress and hair. Very old time Hollywoood glamour

trust me TW i know my people fa real ;o} lol no offence - jus sayin……….

Grey’s Anatomy and Knocked Up.

LOL! No — she-who-holds-the-remote watches Spanish language TV, and I’m kinda along for the ride. We’ve got a blond gymnast on right now who is supporting herself on a bite-piece between her teeth with her body swirled into an improbable position above her head. Not bad viewing, I have to say.

ok im getting in to it

I had to get predictions from my Mom since I haven’t seen any of the movies

christy, what hilary swank does for you, for me katherine heigl.

can’t explain it, just a visceral “uck”.

La Vie en Rose won. I have to take Littelprop to see it. She has been an Edith Piaff fan for years. She discover Piaff on the internet looking for music to download on her Ipod

Well, yeah, honey, valentine, that’s what I thought you meant.
I can’t see her shoes…. from here.
Let’s just pretend…
Ruby Slippers…
Black Stilettos…
But, since it seems to be so Damned Cold where she is…
I say…Muklucks!

mmmm - i’m loving the red outfits…… my fave color

bringing the music up early is fucking annoying and rude.

What’s Amy Adams’ musical background? She’s quite good.

It’s good but it is a serious bummer.

just the right amount of ugly american for the europeans, eh?

I’d highly recommend it. I suppose it didn’t hurt that I’m very fond of good food, and the joys of culinary creation anyway, but Ratatouille did such a remarkably job of communicating just what joy there can be in cooking; not to mention some outstanding animation, comic timing, and choice of actors. For me, it was one of those rare productions where I was simply awestruck by the time the credits rolled, having just enjoyed a truly remarkable work from some extraordinarily talented people, Brad Bird most certainly amongst them.

Song sucks, but she’s good.

Gotta stay somewhere near on time. Remember, some of the categories don’t even get presented at all.

Amy Adams needs to spend some time inthe 360 mirror from “what not to wear”. That dress is WAY too tight and irching up. The length makes her legs look like tree truncks, which I doubt is the case.

That dress makes tha skinny toned woman look like she has a weight problem.

ratatouille was really cute. the kids dragged me to it but I really enjoyed it. And the opening scene with the stampede in the old lady’s house scared me to death! Very hitchcock for me!

btw, The Peanut looooooooooved Enchanted. It was an hilarious spoof on all the gushy princess motifs and I still can’t believe that Disney made it.

you must get this for the peanut,one of MY favorite movies

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091149/

They are so worried about shortening the show they cut everybody off, instead of just the really verbose ones

me too

Writers still on strike?

how the hell am I going to get my presentation ready for tomorrow?

My four chow chows are in the basement with me watching. [Dad is out of town, so they have the run of the house for tonight.] It’s fun having them here.

No, that’s why the oscars are ON, baby. Now getta outta here, we love you, we mean it.

Oh, we’ve got that one. *g*

Just record the oscars and jon stewart giving your presentation. people will laugh, cry….

makes me cry everytime,i dont know why

etting actors to hit their marks and remember their lines can be a colossal challenge, a director will tell you. Any director of the annual Academy Awards telecast might elaborate: at the Oscars ceremony, getting anyone in the film business to stick to a script—or at least keep an eye on the clock—is more challenging than herding a pack of feral cats.

At the 1999 Academy Award presentations, Lily Zanuck worried aloud that Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar would win the best foreign film prize. He had recently won the Golden Globes for All About My Mother and had given a long, wandering, and strangely incomprehensible acceptance speech. According to film journalist Steve Pond, Zanuck feared that he would stage a repeat performance if he won an Oscar. He did win, and sure enough, Almodóvar began a long speech that showed no signs of ending even as the band played him off and Antonio Banderas dragged him away.

Almodóvar wasn’t alone that night. Michael Caine had already pushed the clock back on receiving the best supporting actor nod for The Cider House Rules, going long because, he explained, he’d been a no-show the last time he won an Oscar. Irving Thalberg Award winner Warren Beatty gave a six-minute speech paying homage to everyone he’d ever met. Even the visual-effects winner took his time, earning another blast from the band.

very tepid remarks thus far…..

The song is more amusing with the rats, cockroaches and pigeons in NYC helping her clean up the apartment while she sings it. *g* CGI, no workee on live teevee, I suppose.

after a gloomy gray day, we are now having a technicolor sunset here in hollywood. with a blimp, flying over the kodak theater.

i have brownies in the oven…ha ,ha…hahaha

a very good looking black man!

Dwayne Douglas Johnson (born May 2, 1972), better known by his former ring name The Rock, is an American actor and former professional wrestler.[1] He gained mainstream fame as a standout in World Wrestling Entertainment from 1996 to 2004. Since 2001, he has focused on a thriving acting career, though he still makes occasional WWE appearances for promotional purposes.

Jon with a funny- “in case we were wondering what they do backstage, they make catty remarks about what the viewers are wearing at home. Yes, it works both ways.”

in way too many respects it isn’t funny at all.

I bet my brownies are better.

;~P

Vince McMahon is shitting his pants right now!!!

yes Dwayne is *g*

Yes, and there’s an Afghanistan thread upstairs for the non-Oscar lovers. *g*

i love that dress.

There’s your purple Redd

What with the Movie Thread and all, you sucked me in…
And, yes, we all loved that one.
Oh, did I just see a New Post has been Published?

Which one?
I’m really tired of politics tonight but,
There’s So Much Politics at the Oscars.

Now, as a kid, my grandmother took us to see Sweeny Todd w/ Angela Lansbury

Heard it sucked…Entertainment Weekly panned it and Rotten Tomatoes said it was not fresh

Yes no brownies for this buckaroo, I like to see things in real black and white!

I’d like to see Jack Palance v. The Rock.

Is that one of the Weinstein brothers sitting with Renee Zellwiger behind Johnny Depp? He looks like Meatloaf with those sideburns

i will slit my wrists tonite,if i read that…its tooooooo sad

I’d tell ya, but Mr Mukasey might be watching… Shhhhhhh!

;~P

It isn’t that I don’t like the oscars, I just thought that the Seigelman story needed a place to be talked about.

Though I did miss the opening of the oscars—thought it started at 9. Did Jon do a monologue? Was it any good?

U teh lucky

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh does it involve sour cream…………shhhhhh say no more

I’ve never been a Cuba Gooding fan

The book’s good, don’t know if the movie is good.

hmmm - dont know about THAT dress jennifer…………..

It scared the crap out of me, I thought they were really hacking people up

OK, how fabulous does Jennifer Hudson Look?

THAT’s how you dress a plus sized woman!

His monologue was ok, not great

…*swoon*

I’ll be upstairs. If anyone wants my super duper double secret brownie recipe, email me at drbong at drbong.drbong.drbong.commie

;~P

No Country for Old men, great movie
