You stay away from my new best friend you filthy whore!

Just wait until he turns his back on you. It ain't pretty.

Giving Oscars to Polanski and Emeinem was smart booking. They knew they wouldn't be there and they saved time on the acceptance speech. I must star in a movie and win best actor next year so I can dry hump Nicole Kidman. I repeat these jokes for the late comers, because I am funny.

[Guest godthedog]

my thoughts:

 

a) i love scorsese, but polanski so deserved it over him. 'the pianist' was a flat-out better movie, & that's all there is to it.

 

b) the oscars are a joke anyway, so there's no point in getting one's panties in a wad over it.

I say Denzel Washington got his "Best Actor" Oscar late because he deserved it for "Malcolm X" but they fucked him over when they gave it to Pacino for "Scent of a Woman".

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Who you said was fucked over and rewarded late anyway, so it all evens out. I would have gave it to Robert Downey, Jr. for Chaplin or Clint Eastwood for Unforgiven that year over Washington anyway.

 

Oddly enough Washington's first nomination was for Cry Freedom in 1988, which he lost to Sean Connery who was considered long over due. As far as the men are considered, best supporting and best actor is about the same thing, it's all recognition on a high level.

then there's the fact that it's all just a big hollywood circle jerk that only rewards their own--see welles, orson; godard, jean-luc; ullman, liv; buscemi, steve; moore, julianne (to a lesser extent); et al.

This Oscars was the year that every film that won was nominated in my own special category:

 

FILMS THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'LL EVER SEE.

 

Like I'm ever gonna sit through Chicago.

 

And, as long as I'm here: Moore can go fuck himself. The booing was refreshing coming from Hollywood.

[Guest Nanks]

Yay, Nicole won. Go Aussie!! It looked to me like Nicole was trying to cut off the orchestra like Brody did as they went to the break. Spewing I was flicking when Moore won. I would've LOVED to see him getting booed by the entirety of Hollywood. What a dropkick, (although I enjoyed Stupid White Men). Just watch though, he'll get a grab of his tirade, block out the crowd noise and use it in a show while claiming that he got to spread the message to the world and "stick it to The Man". Loved Adrian Brody jumping Halle Berry, what a legend, funny that her first reaction was put her arms around him and kiss him back, that's good quick-thinking and playing along. Brody then went on to make a really great acceptance, very appropriate, glad the orchestra stopped for him. Steve Martin owned, "Hollywood stars can be short, tall, thin or skinny" Gold.

 

EDIT: Just saw a news clip of Moore, the fat tool was smiling the whole time, he thought he was just so cool. Wasn't a fan of their being applause from the audience, the boos were stronger though. Didn't seem to be any reaction from the front row. Pity.

this actually says more about your lack of taste than about the academy's standards.
