wow E is freeze framing models pornagraphically and using a glamistrator

I'm sad for Mickey Roarke's dog - wish all the other stars and red carpet ho's would die in a firebomb

Jackman's opening number and monologue is solid

nah

He's doing Billy Crystal's thing, which was funny because Billy couldn't sing and dance - it's pathetic to do it seriously or kind of seriously - am I supposed to think Hugh can really sing and dance?

5 previous best supporting actress winners do a tribute to the dangers of being an aging woman in Hollywood

Does Tilda Swinson only have one breast or is the dress? I’ll feel really bad if I soon learn, she recently had a masectomy.

Penelope Cruz look to the left that is your future - enjoy being hot, while it lasts. Stay away from plastic surgery and pizza.


Before the show Hugh Jackman seemed to be thrusting his pelvis into Barbara Walter’s face, which is actually pretty symbolic of the job she does on most of her subjects.

Anyone want to bet me your dollar versus my life that Wall-E wins?

Hey, it’s Tina Fey the most respected woman in the world next to Oprah!

Steve is very funny - live. Now give us our money back for those Pink Panther movies.

I want a ten minute tribute to Mickey Roarke’s dead dog.

Early win for Milk - let the Prop 8 backlash begin.

Where is Jack Nicholson, there’s no Laker’s game tonight.

I don’t get the Kate Winslet love - not even a little bit

I want to see the Bollywood version of Slumdog Millionaire

C’mon Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black should chicken fight Brad and Angelina - go Jen.

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto - YES!

who's the chick hangin out with meryl streep? she's hot. and is it just me or does meryl streep always bring a mascot like that with her to theses things?

How high are you currently?


Also, I don't think his opening monologue/song and dance number was supposed to be the least bit serious. It was a comedy bit

FYP

Yes but it was EXACTLY the same routine that Billy Crystal used to always do but with a guy from Broadway

Strangely not high at all actually

but DOMO ARIGATO MR ROBOTO!!!

nice. she's smokin

Shouldn't the Oscar's have a best nude scene catagory?

And the best actor goes to Jaoquin Phoenix - for Late Show with David Letterman

Don't know if any made any Oscar bets, but it looks like the favourties are coming in.

Check the odds here

Hard to believe that was the kid who just discovered masterbation in Parenthood.

LOL - Can i get my money on Heath at 1-66!

lol he's mastered it by now

Of course he is going to win

so, a comedy song and dance number is irrevocably gone now, to only be done by Billy Crystal, who doesn't want to do the Oscars?

If it's funny, it's funny. Regardless. Due to the new content every year (different movies and actors) I think it can be pulled off. Not every year, but every once in a while.

OMG did you see that chinese guys teeth.

yes

ouch

I don't know

I do know that it was EXACTLY the routine that Billy did every year
and not nearly as funny!

Will SMith just dropped "Boom goes the Dynomite" LOL

ROURKE FTW

who's the guy jennifer aniston is banging these days?

last i heard John Mayer

That Indian chick is hot, from that movie.

oops. I thought they'd show this at 8pm pst. pretty sure west coast usually gets a tape delay. oh well.

I liked the opening number but I miss a solid host... like Billy Crystal, Martin Short, or even Jon Stewart.

No way Winslet should have beat Melissa Leo OR Angelina Jolie. But I would have bet all my money that Winslet would win.


The Reader was not good.

Wow, Kate's dad is a good whistler

Actually her dad looked pretty awesome. I actually like Kate a little bit more just because of her dad.

Sean Penn should NOT have won. Terrible that Rourke got snubbed.

Every vote for prop 8 hurt mickey roarke

he didn't get snubbed - he got put against a great actor representing a cause they were dying to promote

Sean was nice to point that out

Me too.


Also, GOD DAMN HOLLYWOOD FAGGOTS!!!

Mickey Roakre Gave the best performance of this decade, you ****ing cock suckers. I don't care if Milk is your ****ing MLK, and I don't care if Sean Penn did a great job playing him, fucking recognize history, you sissy mother fuckers. Jesus christ the oscars tllt the shit out of me.

It's terribly disgusting. Rourke did SO much better than Penn (who was great in Milk) that they weren't even in the same league. There should have been an award for 2nd place with Rourke getting the automatic win.

I saw both The Wrestler and Milk and thought both Rourke and Penn were both awesome so I was happy that Penn won, and I was also happy that he mentioned Rourke at the end of the speech. Just my opinion, and I see an attack coming from at least one of you lol.

I thought that Jackman did a great job, and this years Oscars was a great show. I loved how the previous actor winners came out and said something about all the nominees so everyone could get a little time in the spotlight, not just the winners.

In fairness to penn, he was the clear number 2, it's not like he did a shit job or anything, and in most years I'd be fine with him winning. But I mean, jesus christ, I've never seen anything like what Roarke did. Keep politics out of the oscars.. aw **** it, anyone who loves film knows the oscars are joke anyway, I mean, braveheart won best picture, for christs sake.

If the Prop 8 stuff didnt happen.Rourke wins for sure. He was so amazing the The Wrestler and fck his dog just died. Penn was great BTW but clearly not as good. Timing is everything I guess.

Can't you religious nut balls who give a shit about faggots marrying and you silly faggots have this fight when god damn adrian brody is up for best actor?

Slum Mill just came to town...might go see it


anyone seen it?

Also, though no one much will give a sht about this catagory, I think giving best original screen play to a bio pick is a fraud.

If the oscar's were about awarding art, Charlie Kauffman would have won best original screenplay for Synecdoche , NY, as it's the most insane, surreal, amazing and most importantly ORGINAL screen play that's ever been writen. But no one's basically seen this movie, and most that have didn't like it or understand it, so it had about as much chance of winning an Oscar as Caligula

love charlie kauffman

love Braveheart

I might be insane but everyone one of his movies makes sense to me..

I can't believe anyone that's not in the industry with a dvr would watch this in real time.

I don't disagree with this.... but I'm a traditionalist. It was really nice that they made almost everyone cry though. It made everyone seem less elitist.



Penn was a clear #2, we can all agree on that.... and **** YOU!




lol



I said the same thing to my wife as soon as he won. As the little kid that 'wrote' Milk was giving his speech, I looked at her and I said, "I sure as hell hope they don't vote for Penn because of this Prop 8 crap."

I did...I even have a dvr...then again I'm a writer

actually a bunch of people had tried and failed to write that thing and this guy came out of nowhere and killed it - he probably deserved it

I was only sort of half-listening to his speech and had to rewind due to the “wait, did he just say what I think he said?” moment. That was fantastic.


Steve Martin was funny.


I’m on the fence with the idea of movies about real people being in the original screenplay category. It’s not like you’re exactly working with a blank slate, but at the same time, a screenplay is vastly different than a life story. I haven’t seen the movie, so I can’t comment on how good it was.


Nothing surprising all night.
