Hey they skipped 1943? I assume the Oscars were cancelled that year (Because of the War?)

Has anybody actually seen La Vie En Rose? I try to see as many acclaimed movies as I can and even I didn't see it. Though I think it only played in Portland for one week way back in July or August.

Woo! Woo! Another minor upset.

You know Jessica Alba being on the Oscars telecast is nearly as baffling as Norbit being nominated. Besides Sin City, has she made a movie that was remotely good? The Ten was alright but the movie seemed to be good despite her not because of her.

I think you're right Milky RE:Murdering police dogs will get you charged with murder. There was an episode of Homicide: Life on The Street where a couple of the detectives investigated the death of a police dog.

It's good to be reminded that Sidney Poitier is still kicking. Is he retired or just not getting roles?

Tilda Swinton with the upset. That was probably my favorite of the nominees. Though whatsherface from Atonement was damn good too.

No but they were playing them at an arthouse theater about 40 minutes away. I kind of want to go but I forgot about it. I might Netflix them. Why are they promoting Bee Movie? DVD coming out soon I presume.

The chicken crispers were in the appetizer sampler I got. They were easily the best part of the sampler but there was something slightly odd about the texture of 'em. The boneless buffalo wings were terrible. How can buffalo wings be so awesome and boneless buffalo wings be so mediocre? And the mozzarella sticks were mozarella sticks. I can't remember having truly great mozarella sticks but I've never gotten any that were worse than "Not bad". These were not bad.

I never liked him at the time but looking back on it, Bull Buchanan made a solid intimidating lackey. Whatever happened to Bull? Why hasn't TNA signed him yet for way more than he's worth? Wrestling needs more intimidating lackeys!

Honestly, I thought Tom Wilkinson gave the best performance out of all of the nominees. But Bardem was great too so huzzah for him.

So does Louis Gossett Jr.....wow, that sound racist. Lushus would agree with me that those two have done crap since they won the award....except The Principal, but I've already let my love for that movie be known.

Speaking of wrestling and award shows, am I the only one who misses the Slammys? I'd watch them if they still had them.

Sounds like Lushus has a man crush... You know I bet this appearence is going to inspire some dumb comments on the WWE folder. "OMGZ if he appeared at the Oscars, why wouldn't he appear at the WWE Hall of Fame?"

The Rock! Is he the first pro wrestler to appear on the Academy Awards?

I'm surprised that they even nominated Norbit. Even if it was for Best Makeup. I mean Rick Baker's already won six of 'em and is probably the most acclaimed make up guy in the business.

I thought Snipes was in exhile after that tax evasion charge. I guess whoever was handing out the invites must have been a big White Men Can't Jump fan.

I've heard rumors that No Country and TWBB are splitting the vote for Best Picture so we may get an upset. I think Michael Clayton is the best choice for a dark horse.

What are you guyses predictions for tonight? My predictions Best Picture: No Country For Old Men Best Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis Best Actress: Julie Christie Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem Best Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett Best Screenplay, Originally Written For The Screen: Juno

I agree, Bruiser. Val's IC title run was underrated. His feud with Rikishi did a good job at changing them both from comedy acts to credible mid-carders on their way to the upper mid-card. Of course, what does the WWF a couple months after that feud is over? Val joins the RTC for no reason and Rikishi is found to be the guy who ran over Austin.

Michael Clayton is a grower. I don't know what it was (most likely, the annoying 14 year olds walking in and out of the theater I saw it in. Why the fuck were they there in the first place?) but when I first saw it I thought it was a **1/2-*** movie but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

I really don't know and I don't have a discerning palate. It's mostly just to say I haven't eaten at those places. I don't have any real bias against them. In fact, I buy those frozen TGI Fridays appetizers occasionally at the grocery store. And I actually just broke that streak on Thursday when I went to Chili's for lunch. A couple of friends wanted to go. I just got some appetizer sampler and it wasn't very good at all. Even the free chips and salsa wasn't very good.

Philistine!

I bet it'll make $30-40 million opening weekend and then have a huge dropoff.

Would it be incorrect to say that when the heavyweight division is down than boxing's popularity is down? It seems that way here in the U.S. at least. I'm sure if there was one dominant heavyweight, boxing's popularity would go back up.
