Oscars response thread - I'm counting on you

flippyshark · 03-07-2010, 05:45 PM

I am very presumptuously placing this thread here in hopes that you all will update it with whatever is going on at the Academy Awards tonight. I don't have a television, and I'll be at my desk working, so, keep me posted!

Hmm, I guess it's still a few hours before things really get going out there on the West Coast.

Only minutes away Flippy. Right now lame red carpet stuff on ABC.

Helen Mirren looked fabulous, IMO

Bring back Hugh Jackman.

JWBear · 03-07-2010, 07:00 PM

Yay Up!!!!

Christopher Waltz for Supporting Actor - certainly an indelible performance. I wonder what else Inglorious will go home with tonight? (My guess, not much.)

What the F?

They just did best song?

What's up with that? No performances? That was always my favorite part of the Oscars.

The odd love letter to John Hughes. I agree his early death was a loss, but I do not recall this kind of tribute with the family there.

What was the "politics" Mo'Nique (is that how she spells it?) referred to in her acceptance speech? "This movie was made without politics" or something like that.

How about the hotties who were passing out the statues! yum!!

(Not the celebs, but the silent gentlemen in tuxes who carried them on stage.) I don't often watch the Oscars*, but wasn't that job traditionally done solely by woman? Nice to see them mix it up.

WTF was George Clooney's problem? Did he have a giant stick up his ass or what? He never laughed and at one point he was gesturing to someone on stage to "move along" or something. Sheesh George, lighten up!

*Yeah, I'm gay, but I'm just not that interested in the Oscars. I only watched this year to see Steve and Alec host. Now the Tony Awards, that's a different story! Those I watch religiously, often multiple times.

Speaking of George...

Was there some movie tie-in to the bit where Alex & Steve repeatedly gave him the cold shoulder/evil stare during the opening?

No, Sigourny. Just... no.
