RRA's Live Oscarblog! Opinions welcomed!

Note: This blog is written from Eastern Time Zone bias. Take that California!)

5:32 PM - My Live Oscarblog for GangsterBB.Net begins now...in utter boredom. The bastard adbomination that is E! Television has been airing a mind-numbingly "Pre-Oscar" coverage that purports to be talking about who will win the awards, but since most of the Oscars tonight seem to be locks, the E! covereage is instead concentrated on more urgent headlines.

You know, like fashion. Supposedly some women tune into the Red Carpet coverage to watch for what the celebrities are wearing. "Supposedly."

After a hour of this, I won't ever complain again about the overlong, brain tissue-destroying pre-game coverage on Super Bowl Sunday.

5:37PM - Jennifer Holiday, one of the original 1980s Broadway stars of DREAMGIRLS, belted out a tune from the Bill Condon-directed film adaptation. She's performing on the rooftop, when the Oscar workers are busy trying to get the auditorium ready by 8 PM so the only audience listening to her is people watching E! Television. While I feel bad for her, she still did a nice job.

I did laugh when the E! camera, heavily focused on Holiday, caught a glimpse of those cool billboard-size ZODIAC ads. No, I don't know why I laughed at that visual.

5:44PM - Who wins in a bitch fight? Julia Roberts or Jennifer Lopez?

5:55 PM - You know, I just realized that after more than a hour of watching E!, they finally start talking about the Best Picture Oscar nominations....indirectly. E! has been giving heavy coverage to the backstory of DREAMGIRLS' production, and whatever Lindsay Lohan will be sober tonight. Thing is, I wonder if the producers for E! TV thinks DREAMGIRLS is actually up for Best Picture and Best Director. Otherwise, its pointless.

Which makes me wonder....is David Poland working behind the scenes for E! TV today?

5:59 PM - My final Oscar predictions will come in a few minutes. Then you all can have a legal excuse to beat me down on the ground when I'm wrong. Its ok folks. I know where you live.

6:07 PM - TV spot for the upcoming Mark Whalberg action-thriller SHOOTER. You know, I actually was interested in seeing it, until I read this blurb in the credits. "Directed by Antoine Fuqua"

6:10 PM - James Mcavoy on the red carpet. If the internet rumors are to be believed, he'll play Scotty in the J.J. Abrahams STAR TREK movie. The sad thing is, I might be the only person that cares about this.

I gotta go with Jennifer Lopez. Those Castle Hill girls fight like men !

I agree. Both are vicious, but who is more likely to maul someone's face off?

J-Lo baby!

Why's that?

6:20 PM - Speaking of a J-Lo/Roberts bitchfight, who remembers from back in 2001 when Julia Roberts was locked to win the Best Actress Oscar for months? She wins, and she gives her well-rehearsed "surprise glee" look. Yeah, J-Lo breaks her teeth.

6:23 PM - Michael Sheen was really good as Prime Minister Tony "Bush's Poodle" Blair in THE QUEEN. The difference between the two men is that people generally like Sheen it seems on the Red Carpet.

Hey, first cool celebrity sighting tonight...LARRY DAVID! Yeah, eat it Donnie Darko's sister!

I'm a Trekkie. I figured I might be the only person that cares about this news nugget.

Are you kidding, I'm no Trekkie, but there are millions of them out there who are salivating over this new movie.

It's "the early years", right ?

Ah, well I had no idea there was going to be a new Star Trek movie. I usually watch The Next Generation, but sometimes I catch the original.

Yeah Pizzaboy.

Anyway, it'll either work or it'll fail.

Besides, JJ Abrahams is the problem. His ALIAS was incredibly overrated program with questionable writing that I consider less-substantive compared to say....Jay Leno.

Anyway, I thought his TV-quality direction for M:I 3 was weak. So yeah, I'm skeptical as hell.

I've never been a big sci-fi guy, but I loved QUANTUM LEAP. I still watch the reruns.

I'd like to see a big screen adaption.

You know that Sci-Fi Channel is doing a TV movie of QUANTUM LEAP, right? Its supposed to be the proper "finale" to the cult-favorite series.

No way ! I didn't read that.

The finale was ok, it's just that we always expected at least one reunion movie to bring Sam home.

I gotta do a search now.

6:30 PM - Filmmaker John Singleton on the red carpet. After BOYZ N THE HOOD, his career was sporadic with decent-if-forgettable efforts (POETIC JUSTICE) and outright garbage (the SHAFT remake, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS). However, I really enjoyed the hell out of his 2004 blaxploitation-inspired B-action movie FOUR BROTHERS.

Anyway, really liked his comments on Scorsese's expected triumph tonight. Very gracious. Now if Singleton can get LUKE CAGE made....

6:33 PM - With 90 minutes before Showtime, the Limos are piling up. Imagine if gangbangers ever use Limos for hit & run jobs? Yeah, I could so see a fight between the gangs that dominate Hollywood: ACC (Abused Children of Celebrities) and the RR (Rehab Renegades). Oh no, I see Christian Brando and Isiah Washington duking it out on the street corner! My money is on the former convict.

6:36 PM - Al Gore now on the red carpet. When INCONVENIENT TRUTH wins Best Documentary tonight, will he use this to announce his 2008 Presidential run on the stage? Pfft! Dream on Fox News....

6:41 PM - On second thought, if Al Gore did pull such a stunt, it would piss-off Hillary Clinton even more. Go Gore '08!

Japanese chick from BABEL trying her best to speak English. Hey, I'm getting Engrish for free tonight!

6:47 PM - What the hell? Why is there John Madden-like doodling substituting as commentary on Jennifer Hudson's lousy dress?

6:54 PM - Poor Penelope Cruz looks like that midget elf from the second HARRY POTTER movie.

Anyway, Jodie Foster really looks great tonight....for a mummy.

Careful Ronnie, Jodie's wife looks tough.

6:59 PM - Screw E!, I'm switching over to ABC at the turn of the hour.

John Travolta on the red carpet. Damn, I forgot that Forrest Whittaker is a scientologist. I guess the mothership finally got him.

7:01 PM - Barbara Walters looks tired. Did she just get in a shouting physical brawl with Rosie earlier in the afternoon?

Oh good, pizza is here!

7:06 PM - You know what is ironic? ABC's Pre-Oscar marketing junket for the Oscars tonight is making a big deal of Ellen Degeneres as a "gay" entertainer. Ok, so what's the big deal? ABC cancelled her series after she came out of the closet.

It's almost painful listening to Ryan Seacrest try to be consistently witty and exciting. I mean I don't hate the guy like some do, but live TV can be tough.

The problem that Ryan Seacrest is having to deal with tonight is having to ask over and over..."Who are you wearing?"

7:12 PM - In the Oscar afterparty, when Britney loses her wig and Lohan vomits, who will get more paparazzi photos in the morning?

Better yet, who's the bigger loser?

I feel like I would love to just hang out and have a beer with Leonardo. He just called Seacrest "man" 4 times and "brother" once. What a dude.

7:23 PM - Ok, here are my final Oscar predictions. Prepare for the flame war.

What time is kick off?

Ronnie did you pick any winners you haven't seen?

8 PM, Eastern Time.

I've seen them all. However, my Oscar picks are not based on what SHOULD win, but what WILL win.

Celine Dion looks almost life like.

I think Alan Arkin forgot his meds.

He just seemed like he secretly hates Seacrest.

Boob job for Gwyneth ?

Shit, he aint the only one.

I think Ryan's the prettiest girl there.

haha pizzaboy.

7:36 PM - Remember when THE DAILY SHOW trashed Shania Twain's concert dress as "Space Alien Hooker from Las Vegas"?

Well, Hudson liked the dress. Yikes!

7:41 PM - Shit, this Eddie Murphy bit sucks. Why? Because looking at his 1980s comedies.....there was a time when he wasn't an asshole prima donna movie star that didn't suck.

Ellen really is a handsome woman

Boy am I glad that Delirious finally came out on DVD, although incomplete.

7:44 PM - I think Ellen should be able to do a decent job tonight. Of course, I thought Jon Stewart was good last year, but people spit the Hate-o-rade at him, so whatever.

Other than making it a political forum at times, I thought he did fine.

Murphy is actually hilarious right now on BaBaWaWa, and relatively humble.

Back on E, Reese looks good.

Eddie's ego is as big as Pistone's

7:51 PM - While Britney Spears embarrases the entire south eastern region of America, Reese brings respectability and charm to balance out that pop princess loser.

Eddie is being hilarious.

"What!? Say that again. Slump! I ain't in no damn slump! I met two or three people that liked Pluto Nash! The Golden Child too!"

7:56 PM - You know, Oprah is a bully. "If you don't follow my books, meals, and celebrity causes, you suck!" No wonder Ellen is now almost equal with her ratings-wise in the daytime.

100% Ronnie. She's brilliant on film and off.

Rachael Ray couldn't get a ticket ?

Leo is a regular guy

8:05 PM - Dammit, I forgot the Oscars actually star in 25 minutes. Now I'm pissed.

Still, cute opening involving the iconography of the Oscar nominees this year. Notice the guys in embarrasing BORAT bikini thongs?

Leonardo DiCaprio thinks Scorsese should win. Good to see that Marty's cheerleader is here tonight. Screw the Hybrid cars.

Has Nicole Kidman gone lesbian ?

Given her luck with men, who would blame her ?

Oh my God !

Who dressed Jennifer Hudson ?

She looks like Sharpton in an off the rack dress.

I blame Maverick for her going lesbo.

Hey, its the 40 Year Old Virgin!

Alright let's go Marty! I've had a good feeling all day that TODAY is his day!!

Well, those guys with the winners in the briefcases have arrived. If Martin Scorsese tries to tackle them to find out if he's the winner indeed, SEcret Service will jump him...

8:15 PM - Will Smith, America's favorite black man, is here. Remember folks, he beat out Notorius BIG for the Grammy for Best Rap Album. God, I so hated PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS.

Cameron Diaz looks good tonight

Hey, Mike Sullivan has posted his own blog entry:

"8:16 PM - Seabiscuit murdered Big Birds and dyed his feathers pink to wear at the Oscars."

8:20 PM - Ahhhh, Ryan Gosling went to the Oscars with his sister and mother. How sweet......enough for me to laugh at him. BAHAHAHA!

She's never, ever gotten back to how she looked in The Mask.

8:25 PM - The "Three Amigos" Mexican directors of Guillermo Del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron, and the dude that directed BABEL. Hollywood loves them so much, they shafted CHILDREN OF MEN and PAN'S LABYRINTH of Best Director and Best Picture nominations.

Still, they kick ass, and have a great future.

Ryan Gosling is a geek

8:29 PM - Well, its finally game time. No more E! TV or Barbara Walters red carpet bullshit.

Its now 4+ hours.....pity my buns of steel!

Peter O'Toole IS still alive

Where's Al Gore ?

I really don't think The Departed was the best movie of the year, it was decent but nothing great. And after that I don't think I even need to say that I feel Scorsese should NOT be winning best director for that.

8:37 PM - What a nice little montage opening. You gotta love O'Toole.

Q: Why didn't you win for LAWRENCE OF ARABIA?
A: "Someone else won it"

So was Eastwood. "We're nominated for Best Picture, Best Director....stuff like that."

Ellen has wanted to host the Oscars since she was a little boy

Babel was slightly better than Departed, and United 93 bested them both, but I'm still rooting for Marty.

Nicholson = Bald

Are the Oscars on tonight?

With Ronnie giving us a blow by blow account, timestamped and all, I don't have to watch! I can watch a hockey game instead! Thanks Ronnie!


All kidding aside, for the life of me, I just cannot understand how Clint Eastwood is not getting a best director nomination for "Flag Of Our Fathers." As a matter of fact I don't think that it even received one nomination for anything!


Don Cardi

Eastwood gets nothing yet Scorsese is picked to WIN.....this is what I mean about those Hollywood types.

Steve Carrell is a riot

Look at the white people in the gospel choir

8:44 PM - Nicole Kidman and James Bond are presenting for Best Art Direction.

The Winner is...

PAN'S LABYRINTH

1-for-1

Don Cardi

8:49 PM - Ok, its Donnie Darko's sister talking about the Technical Oscars. Bathroom break time!

What Hockey game is on Tonight DC?

I'm just going to watch the Ebert and Roeper review after the Oscars.

OSCARS ON ABC 8:30PM - 11:30PM


A three hour bathroom break as far as I'm concerned.



Don Cardi

Oh come ON. Eastwood has what, 2 Best Director Oscars, plus 2 other Oscars for UNFORGIVEN and MILLION DOLLAR BABY.

Give just one...just one measly little Oscar....to Marty.

8:53 PM - Hey, its Ron Burgundy!

Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby were not in the same league as Flag of our Fathers though.....I think the Departed is right in that bottom league however.

I like Martin. But the amount of Oscars that one person has won should have absolutely no bearing on nominating them again if the work that they did that year warrants it.

It's like telling a Baseball player who won the triple crown last year that he cannot win it again this year even if he leads the league in all the required categories.



Don Cardi

I TOTALLY agree ronnie. Clint's got his, share the love with Marty

First off, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS was melodrama dreck that follows the SAVING PRIVATE RYAN visual example....there is a good reason why it bombed in theatres.

Besides, LETTERS was more interesting....and accomplishing.

Hey, John C. Reilly...

The Departed was twice as good as Flags Of Our Fathers. There's a reason it was a bomb at the box office (hint, it was all hype)

So Marty should win it even though his film doesn't truly warrant it, isn't that why they have Lifetime achievement awards?

I think the real reviewers vote with their brains rather than their hearts.

Quit the hate on Marty. It's his night (finally) brother.

In your opinion, it doesn't warrant it. The Departed was great.

I agree but I wanna see Marty win so badly that I don't care. Screw Clint and everyone else. LET'S GO MARTY!

8:57 PM - Well, its Best Make-Up.

The Winner is...

PAN'S LABYRINTH

That's your opinion, and you are certainly entitled to it. But it doesn't mean that you're right.


Don Cardi

2-for-2

Those are your opinions, I found Flags of our Fathers to be much more entertaining than the Departed.

Yeah, I noticed. I had to do a triple take.

He was screwed twice before for Raging Bull and Goodfellas. So why can't he screw someone this time around?

Oh please...its the OSCARS. You seriously think its a legitimate awards program? Scorsese doesn't need it to redeem him as America's best living filmmaker.

But, it would be nice for him to win one for once. You have a heart, right?

...and that's your opinion. Fair enough.

Marty to win...woo hoo!

9:01 PM - Oh dear, Fox News will be pissed tonight. Mexican flags flying in the backseats. "Its America DAMMIT!"

9:04 PM - Those kids that say the darnest things for Best Animated Short. The Winner is...

THE DANISH POET.

Fuck, I lost!

You are right the Oscars are about as close to a real award show as this thread is to a real reviewer

If you truly cared about movies you'd want the best person to win at all times, it didn't happen for him for those 2 movies but that doesn't mean someone else should get screwed, thats what they have lifetime achievement awards for.

And it is my opinion Don Andrew, thank you for pointing that out, hence why I put "I found"

Got that one wrong, rats

West Bank Story

Nicholson is starting to resemble Hitchcock.

Go Hitchcock.

Well, I'm glad DaMoraleCommissioner is here to compete in a dick-size contest with me.

Besides, there is a mortal flaw in your argument. If not Marty for Best Director, who should deserve to win it more than him?

Surely you haven't seen LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA (worth watching) and I don't see you as the sort of guy to champion BABEL or even LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.

To be honest, Paul Greengrass is the most deserving of the nominees, but since his movie didn't get a Best Picture nomination, he never could win.

So quit your morale dance. Besides, this is a fun little thread for the movie buff fans at BB.Net.

What did he pull a Britney Spears?



Don Cardi

It's actually surreal. I was more shocked by his baldness than Britney Spears'.

Yeah, I'm surprised. It happens.

Hey TomHagen, you're right! Can he do a British accent?

"Goood Evening..."

Trust me Ronnie, you'd lose that contest

Oh I'm terribly sorry, since I wasn't inducted into your little "Movie Buff Club" I shouldn't be here....please allow me to exit immediately lol

For your information I actually loved Babel but since you say I wouldn't, I change my mind

Why you being an asshole anyway? I know I don't have an excuse, but what is yours?

Ronnie, one day, someone will come along and kill that bug that is so firmly inserted in your butt. Until then, why do you constantly feel the need to antagonize anyone you disagree with? I've seen you do it with Irish and this is not the first time with DMC. Get over yourself and your delusions of cinematic grandeur.

I think that next year, JG should start a Fantasy Oscars League Game!




Don Cardi

So when's our first big one coming?

Yeah what's with that? I couldn't recognize him the first 2 or 3 times. Poor guy should have got an Oscar nom himself for The Departed

Why not? If there's Fantasy Bass Fishing, why not the Oscars??

In your eyes, I'm the asshole. In your eyes, Don Andrew is my associate in crime.

In my eyes, DMC is being a jackass. In my eyes, you're his sidekick.

I wasn't being an asshole, I was simply stating my opinion, I didn't care for The Departed and didn't feel it was Oscar worthy, do I have to pass some kind of test in order to voice my opinion. Or should I be like everyone else here and just follow the Hollywood types. I found Babel to be a great movie, and far better than The Departed, but if that goes against this thread maybe I should start my own

I nominate DC to be the Commissioner

Harley Quinn to your Joker I suppose...

I don't play the fantasy games but I WOULD play that

9:09 PM And the winner for best drama goes to Ronnie!




Don Cardi

For disagreeing over a MOVIE I'm a jackass? Those are some hateful words, and lets not say that SB is my sidekick, come on now.

I didn't see SB say anything about Don Andrew....might want to get those eyes checked lol

Anyway, I'm doing this blog for the AV Forums, and I figured that it might be fun to collaborate in our complaining of how unfair and biased the Oscars are.

I mean, certainly all those major nominees aren't my personal picks. If anything, I'm more excited for when FCM has its own awards for 2007...then I'll feel more personal.

9:10PM And the winner for best supporting actor goes to Ronnie!



Don Cardi

Dude, this part with the music right now is awesome.

How about you kiss my ass?

Don't like it? Then ban me.

Why are you dragging Don Andrew into this, Ronnie? He certainly never said anything here that I would put in a category with one of your statements.

Since I mentioned how antagonistic you are to Irish as well, does this mean I get TWO sidekicks?? That would be REALLY cool.

That sound of motion stuff is sort of creepy...

Why does supporting Scorsese and The Departed makes us into followers of 'those Hollywood types'? Why can't I just think The Departed is Oscar worthy and so is Marty?

Ronnie, chill out now. You don't need to get personal.



Don Cardi

I KNEW a Clint Eastwood movie had to win SOMETHING today. It just wouldn't be an Oscars without I guess

DA, you certainly can and just did!! Ronnie had his knickers in a twist, and I don't know why. He's VERY defensive.

I didn't know I was a moderator that I could ban you.......you seem to take this movie stuff awfully personally.

You can think whatever you like Don Andrew, but can't I feel the same way without being attacked. I never called anyone an asshole or a jackass or told someone to "kiss my ass" but apparently liking Babel is a crime here.

You know, now I know why there were police outside the movie theater in my home town, I guess the Departed fans had to go smack around the Babel fans

He's hoping to win best costume design!



Don Cardi

Thanks for the back up Ms. Babe

see Irish, too bad The Marine wasn't nominated, I actually liked that movie too, much better than See No Evil

Alan Arkin takes Best Supporting Actor...too bad Eddie.

Alan for Best Supporing Actor? WTF!?

I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did when seeing Alan Arkin in The In-Laws. Too bad, Eddie...is right.

"GoodMammas"...that was a good one.

I have to say, Ellen has been doing a good job so far.

Babel was good and I'd say it was better than Flags of Our Fathers but my personal opinion, they're both inferior to The Departed. However, I do also subscribe that United 93 was screwed!

I don't see what you saw in The Departed though, it seemed very basic and easy to figure out what was going to happen.

I thought Babel stood out among them all though, it was better than Flags of our Fathers but it was a different movie as well, so opinions on movie TYPES will also factor in.

Glad you enjoyed it. Personally, I enjoyed See No Evil more (I'm more of a horror fan myself AND it was the first WWE movie and it surprised me how good it was). But I did buy The Marine and there were A LOT of explosions in it as well. I'm looking forward to WWE's third film, The Condemned coming out in April staring Stone Cold Steve Austin

I agree. I was pulling for Eddie and Mark. I picked Eddie

The Condemned reminds me too much of a Van Damn flick though.

See No Evil was good, I thought it was going to be cheesy but Kane pulled it off well, and you actually believed the character. I thought the ending wasn't that good though.

I liked in The Marine where they said about Cena being like the Terminator and the guy who was driving (I forget his name but he was in T2) his eyes rolled, that was great lol Although I could have gone without seeing him jump out of what, 4 exploding buildings?

OMG!! Is it just me, or did Al Gore get fat??

He got VERY fat, I think he's blaming it on Global Warming though lol

I didn't see the big "thing" with it after the first viewing (plus I had already seen Infernal Affairs so I knew what the movie was about and how it ended). However, after a second viewing and a possible third shortly (I'm in the mood to watch it, ESPECIALLY if Marty wins tonight), it's grown on me. And yes, movie types does play into it too I think

I agree, I thought Kane did a very good job. I don't really remember the ending (it's been a while since I've seen it), but again, it really surprised me how good it was because I thought it'd be cheesy too. And yes, the Terminator joke in The Marine was great. I always think of Robert Patrick as the T1000

Ronnie must have fallen in!


Don Cardi

Another one wrong, I picked Cars to win (although I didn't see Happy Feet or Cars). I did however see Monster House

I think we all must have "upset" him

I picked Happy Feet!! Yay!!

And Departed won for Best Adapted Screenplay!!

Really, Infernal Affairs is a Japanese film? Thought it was Chinese

Don Cardi

Why do they call it the Academy Awards and Oscars for?

John Travolta was on Letterman last week. He said that he was not allowed to say what award he would be presenting tonight. Why wouldn't they be allowed to say? It's not like we don't know who the nominees are.

He should get one for still being HOT!!!

We all "ganged up on him"

Did I miss a fight?

Kinda Mig

Because the awards are given out by the Academy and here's some history on the statue and its name.http://www.oscar.com/legacy/?pn=statuette

Wow Boogie Nights and Barry Lyndon BOTH mentioned now.

They just shown FFC

It wasn't so much the ending in terms of "words" of See No Evil it was just bad graphics and it looked horrible. But the woman in the Marine made ANY bad parts well worth it

There was no fight, just a difference of opinion, I hope he didn't take it personally

In my best Borat voice, "NICE!"

The award is named after a guy named Oscar who was started viewings of movies of the year and giving awards for the best ones while in the Military Academy.

Hence OSCAR and ACADEMY awards.






Don Cardi

"I LIIIIIIIIKE"

HIGH FIVE

I thought it was named after the Stallone movie

Does this mean in 50 years we will have the Ronnie and BB awards?

HIGH FIVE!

That's great, she's having Steven Spielberg take a picture of her and Clint

Mr. Babe almost spit out the cake he was eating when she made Spielberg retake it because she wanted him to center it better. Too funny!!

I like how those people are making those figures with they're bodies.

I concur. That's amazing

My name a Borat, I like you!

"Women can choose to have sex with whoever they want in this country" That no good for Borat.

*kiss kiss* "Very niiiice, a how much?"

We make "sexytime"

No updates on the Oscars?

Did Departed win?

I don't think the people want to hear that you had sex with your Mother-In-Law haha

This suit is NOOOOOOOOT black......this suit is black not lol

My neighbor got the I-Pod Nano, everyone knows thats for girls

Does Jesus love my neighbor? yes.......Liar, no one likes my neighbor lol

Not yet. The only major one so far has been Best Supporting Actor. The last hour will have the rest of the major one's including: Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture

Snakes On A Plane made it to the Oscars

That has got to be the worst movie of the year.

I love how one of the talkshows or something said "Snakes on a Plane has to be one of the scariest things to think about when you are that high in the air"........yeah its not Terrorists on a Plane, its definitely the snakes that airport security is screening for lol

I agree. I didn't think it was worth all the hype. Not bad and I love Samuel L. but overall, it'll be an easily forgettable movie

Jennifer Hudson!! Yay!! And she got to kiss George Clooney!!! DAMN!

Nah I'll take John T. Over George any day

And Flags Of Our Father's didn't?



Don Cardi

She was a dead give away, I'm not surprised at all. I was pulling for Rinko Kikuchi for Babel

No it got nominated. Snakes got made into a "shadow figure" in between awards

Oh. So it did get nominated for some award.


Don Cardi

Just not best picture


I'm still pulling for Babel...........how's that Hockey Game DC lol

Yeah, it got nominated for for at least 3 or 4 awards I believe

DUDE, Jerry's at the Oscars!

Al Gore just won an Oscar!! He's very tall. Where's Tipper, though? I don't think she's been shown.

It looks like Al Gore swallowed Tipper

I knew An Inconvenient Truth would win for Best Documentary

Hey BUGSY

and THE UNTOUCHABLES

Is Celine Dion still married to the 100 year old man ?

I agree with everything he just said!

Man, that's 2 awards Little Miss Sunshine has won. That's 2 more than I thought it would

Didn't J-Lo used to be hot?

NO!

And what's with all the songs? You wanna make the show shorter? CUT THEM!

Ok well by hot I meant a great ass lol.....she used to wear dresses that showed that off

Cut the songs and put Beyonce in something that shows off HER ass lol

Ok, I can agree with that. And did you see Penelope Cruz tonight? Talk about a TOTAL knockout. I also have to give props to Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Anne Hathaway too. But again, at least tonight, I think Penelope's got them beat

None of those women do it for me.......eat some FOOD first, then come talk to me lol

Nicole's pale and anorexic

I like a darker, rounder woman myself

I don't like them skeleton, but I don't like them "bootylicious" either

You'll learn

What makes you think I like a woman with a nice ass

Little Vito Andolini !

That's the 3rd Oscar Marty's won for Thelma for Best Editing

No surprise from Helen Mirren for Best Actress in The Queen

What happened to our master of ceremonies?

You mean ronnie?

yeah

He left after a disagreement

Check out page 4 of this thread

Again, no surprises with Forest Whitaker for Best Actor for The Last King of Scotland

I'm happy for him

That was cheesy with those 3........I wonder whos going to win best director lol

Me too. I can't wait until I see advertisements for The Shield stating "Academy Award Winner Forest Whitaker"

MARTY !!!!

LET'S GO MARTY!

Wow, look at those 4 guys together

I F*CKING KNEW IT! CONGRATS MARTY, IT'S WAY OVERDUE BUDDY!!

No real upsets tonight

MARTIN SCORSESE WINS BEST PICTURE TOO!

Now the partying begins!!

I'm probably one of the few who thinks Scorsese is superior to Coppola, Spielberg, and without a doubt Lucas.

I'm glad The Departed got the better awards and this is one of the better awards I've seen. Between Scorsese and Morricone, it's the year of the guineas for the awards.

Well, I left this thread because of some people that were being jerks. Not Don Cardi, he was cool. I didn't care for Flags of Our Fathers, but so what? its just movies.

I was conducting a live blog, 7 hours straight(damn!) for AndersonVision. Check it out where I continued after I boycotted this thread of my own creation.

I know that me, Pizzaboy, Mignon, DonAndrew, and great Irishman are just so damn pleased that Scorsese has finally won. Decades of fustration off his shoulders now...and man, you watch his speech? He almost lost his shit, real emotional and such. Being with his fellow "Brats" of the 1970s added wood to the fire.

I liked that he applauded his fans hoping for years that he wins. What a nice touch.

I don't know if THE DEPARTED deserved Best Picture at all, but I don't care honestly. Except I did win 20 bucks on my Best Picture bet.

However, what I cared about, was Scorsese winning...and it happened.

Good night folks!

I gotta say Ronnie, you did well with your picks.

I guess Alan Arkin was just a mild upset but you still had him.

I'm another.

Martin's films have his distinctive touch: it's not crime drama. It's filled with confident film making, suspense, tension, a love for cinema. The man is a god of cinema and tonight was his night for one of his best films.

I agree with Sully and Hagen.

Thanks Pizzaboy.

All I know is that I can nag my fellow Oscar predicter for the next few days:

"You know, I was right about LETTERS winning Sound Effects Editing and Arkin"

Then he'll drive over to my house and beat me up. Until then, I have free reign. Woo!
