I caught the end of it and im really glad that Crash got the final award :)
Dolly Parton kinda looked even more scary than usual, she looked REALLY out of shape (proportion wise).
What was your favorite part of the Oscars?

No, I did not, nor do I usually, watch the Oscars - I was too busy playing in the mountains.
Dolly, God bless her, always looked like she's about to tip over with those bit titties.
I didn't watch the Oscars either
Didn't watch it either and never did actually. Just something that doesn't interest me.
I did not watch it, but I am not happy about the way Hollywood pussied out! Yet again its up to us and really us alone to provide gay entertainment and examples to the world. :evil:
I don't have a TV, so it's not like I could watch anyway, but I'm not really interested at all.
I mean, let's see... Eminem, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and that shitty rap group who's name I don't care about all have Oscars, so it's not like they actually MEAN anything anymore, do they?
Nope, not interested in it at all. I think I watched part of it once a few years back and it was nothing but "I want to to thank god" blah blah. The only awards show I like is the BAFTAs, those brits rock!
cheers,
Luke
no. i don't care about movies or TV or whatever those awards are about.
Ok Jasun I agree with you to a point. Nicole Kidman is a very talented actress who deserves an Oscar. I think she one of the best actresses working in movies today. The other ones i agree with you.Quote:

Boy..... everyone's so much fun.
Well I watched the whole thing. I haven't watched the Academy Awards in a number of years. However this year my interest was captured by the many very interesting films in nomination.
I thought the distribution of awards ended up well.... and Crash winning Best Picture was a perfect surprise ending.
I recommend over and above everything if anyone wants to watch something out of the nominated movies to go see Capote and Mrs Henderson Presents.
Go see Capote for something strong and serious, and go see Mrs Henderson Presents for something nice and lighthearted. Both are excellent in every respect.

I also watched it, and was a bit surprised that Crash took the top honor for best film ... part of me was really hoping it'd be Brokeback Mountain even though I haven't seen it yet.
They had to have extra police around the red carpet this year because of all the protestors that showed up bashing the Brokeback nomination.
Overall, I was pleased with the awards distribution... and have some films on my "want to see list" now as well. A lot of the montages they created were very compelling sales tools!
One thing they do that I always appreciate is the memormium, part of me is always surprised at who has passed away. It was regrettable that Richard Pryor was on that list this year ... what a talented actor/comedian.
I watched the ending. I don't really care anymore. I was glad a lot of the cute comedy bits were thrown up on YouTube right away. They did a great montage of cowboy movies that made them all look like Brokeback Mountain, and all cowboy movies are a little homoerotic anyway. So I liked that bit.
I'll tell ya, though, living in LA, the oscars means that you take the day and do something out of town. Traffic is insane for the whole week because Hollywood Blvd is closed get the whole red carpet facade ready for the front of the Kodak. People go into this frenzy and have all these parties so the evening after the show there's tons of drunk drivers all over the roads. I'm a little jadded.
And about the show itself. I'm glad the rap groups are allowed to swear on the live awards show without any kind of reprimand. I'm sure if Reese Witherspoon got her award and said "Wow, this is pretty fuckin' sweet!" she would have been ostracized and never asked back. It would be in all the papers and there would be a huge scandal. And when Bjork wore that swan dress people make all kinds of fun of her, but these rappers can wear football jerseys and bling bling and look like they just stumbled out of a cheap nightclub, but that's okay. Why should they have to put on something nice? It's only the oscars.
I watched part of it and loved the "gay hollywood movies" segment -- it was hysterical. I've buy a DVD of the Oscars just to see that again.
Ask... and you shall receive.Quote:

You can send me the $30 you would have spent on a DVD of the oscars. I take paypal. :bush:
i use to watch it , i never really agreed with the judging and/or scale by which actors and films are graded , and by the looks of who/what won this year nothing has changed!
sincerely ~ ..."how much to win an o$car?"... :goof:

I, too, think Nicole is a very good actress.
Of course I watched them! Like I would miss them! It's one of my favorite days of the year! :)
Entertainment journalism is my bread and butter, and I grew up with a very healthy fascination with and appreciation of the movies. Movies are, in fact, the very reason I moved to Los Angeles. Movies and music are the things that carry a lot of importance in my life, because they are reflections of the human condition. Ever since I was a little kid seeing life reflected back to me on the TV screen and the movies, I wanted to be a part of that community and that world. It's magic.
George Clooney's acceptance speech last night said everything about movies that I love. I'm not one of those people who goes around pooh-poohing Hollywood. Why should I? That's too easy. Dismissing something hat has been proved to be important to the lives of everyday, ordinary people -- that has the power to move people and inspire them and make them laugh or cry or think or even to change society -- is beyond my imagination. So, that one day a year when Hollywood takes the occasion to say, "Look how much fun this is!" you can bet I'll be watching.
I LOVE the Oscars!
Thanks, will you take it out in trade instead?Quote:

I think the only thing about movies that bug me are the people who say "I go to the movies to be entertained, I don't want to have to think while I'm there." But, to each his own. I just think it's sad. I mean, you can't live on marshmellows. Even if you love them and can eat them all the time, you still need something of substance from time to time. Okay, if you read nothing but Newsweek and classic novels all the time, I'll excuse you for making Earnist Goes To Camp the most cerebral thing on your Netflix list, but other than that, for God's sake, see at least one movie a year that you didn't see advertized on TV.
And I know I poo poo big time Hollywood movies, but I do love them. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have King Kong, one of my favorite movies last year.
I'm the same way. I love movies of all kinds, Don. I have nothing against "big Hollywood films" if they are made well and have something to say. Or even if they are just great escapist fun (a la your fave King Kong). Nor do I have anything against movies in general, or against TV. Entertainment is an extremely valid thing in the lives of people (the validation that Brokeback has given to many is proof enough of that), and I always have to laugh at the snotty people who so casually dismiss it as "trash," "fluff" and "nonsense." To me, there's nothing trashy about good old-fashioned entertainment. If it speaks to me and helps me get through my day, it serves a vital purpose in my life. Hell, since entertainment is what pays my bills and motivates me to work harder, I'd even say it IS my life. And what a great life it is. :)Quote:
