What will you do instead of watching Oscar? [and now Oscar discussion]

innerSpaceman · 02-23-2009, 10:53 AM

Two more little happy points:

Jennifer Aniston pronouncing Wall-EEEEEE correctly when announcing the Animated Feature winner.

Kate Winslet inadvertenly brit-accenting "FV<K YOU, ACADEMY" Hahahahahaha!

Oh, and Sean made up for his lame white knot faux-pas with his acceptance speech ... but screenplay winner Dustin Lance Black's acceptance was really much more moving and poinant on the subject.

Obviously, I'm very happy with both wins. Both were the odds-on favorites in their categories due to their obvious excellence quite apart from the subject matter near and dear to me. But their wins certainly made for a good night on the Gay Rights front. Yay!

YAY! We're not the only ones who heard that.... even after playing it back a few times. LOL!!

LOL, I thought by the original title that this thread was really about NOT watching the Academy Awards Show. Whoops! Well, I didn't. Watch the show. I didn't even know who was nominated (except for one friend in make-up, who lost to B. Button

). We were out of town, and got back hoping to have dinner at a local place...and when we arrived, fully 3 hours before closing, they were packing it in due to "the Oscars" and the entire city being basically holed up in front of the TV. So, we went home and I made nachos. We went on our balcony and watched searchlights in the sky over Hollywood. We felt sad for our friend (I'd googled the results and saw his loss). That is what we did instead of watching.

When did she say that? I missed it. I'm assuming it was bleeped.

She didn't. She said "Thank you", but with the British "th" that sounds like "f". It was at the very end of her speech, she was turning from the microphone, so the full enunciation of "thank" got a little lost and it ended up sounding like "f*ck you".
