Much as I loved The Hobbit, I'm glad to see PJ won't be taking anything home.

Crap, I forgot Lincoln would be scored by John Williams. I really need to listen to that.

Django Unchained is up for some serious stuff. Gotta get to seeing that.

They didn't have to. Movies come out with the same name all the time. They did this to push Marvel's brand / new movie canon.

I'm going to guess Daniel Day-Lewis is probably going to win Best Actor, but apart from that I'm finding it hard to make any other predictions.

I think Ted getting nominated is worse than Avengers. At least Avengers is just for special effects.

Unless it was for the thunder buddy song.

I haven't seen Life of Pi...or Silver Linings Playbook...or Amour or Les Mis or Beasts of the something southern something. Damn. I haven't missed this many best pictures in years.

Well, if they gave out awards for MISSING THE POINT OF THE MOVIE ENTIRELY, you'd win by a landslide.

I never watch the Oscars. I can get pretty much everything the next day. It's just too long to watch people get their buttholes puckered over minor jokes. They all act so damned above it all it's like a hipster heaven.

Besides, I watched the opening for Seth McFarland and although I loved the Captain Kirk part, they sang and danced to songs like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "High Hopes". You know, current music.

Seth does a good Sinatra imitation, and the theme was movie songs.

I guess I didn't realize that both of those songs won the Academy Award for best song in their year. Still, a song from 1959? If they want to stay relevant they should at least get within 50 years. The Way You Look Tonight was in the 1930's!

Weird, I'm listening to that song right now. So good :D

I don't watch em either. It's like the Superbowl... a good enough reason to get together with friend, but not interesting to watch. Something to talk over.

Here's another reason why they don't matter and annoy the shit out of me. I did catch the "In Memorium" portion (my wife & daughter watched it and I was on break from Borderlands with Jay). They had such luminaries as sound re-editor Whogives Ashit and things like that. Yes, they had an In Memorium for a sound re-editor. Who did they miss? Andy Griffith. Alex Carris. Richard Dawson. Larry Hagman. Pyllis Diller. Davy Jones.

But, you say, some of those people had very little to do with movies! I guess that's why they included Beastie Boy, Adam Youch.

First of all, Seth McFarlane singing old songs shouldnt be a surprise. He loves them a ton.

Second of all, you should appreciate him trying to bring back some fond memories of your middle age.

There's a lot of misdirected anger at Seth for some of the material. No one seems to realize that most, if not all of it was actually coming from Bruce Vilanch, the long time head writer for the Oscars ceremony. You think he'd delegate choice material to some lowly "host?"

Huh. It looks like security frowns on throwing paper airplanes inside the theater, even if you are the producer of an animated short subject about throwing paper airplanes that just won an Academy Award.

I'm mad at the Oscars in general for okay-ing that material at all. I honestly don't like Seth to begin with, so the fact that he presented material like that, just makes me not like him more. And hey, Bruce can have some of my dislike as well.

Also, I'm wallowing in my sorrow of Eiko losing best costume.

What exactly was so bad about it? A song about boobs? Making fun of celebrities? I don't really see what the hate is for.

I think he could do well as a host, he is articulate and funny, with a good dash of Ratpack Cool. He just needs someone to hold his leash a bit.

One of the numbers was just listing off female actresses and then what movie he saw their breasts in. And concluded with Scarlett Johansson and "the internet". If you can't see how that could be hateful towards women, then-

There was also a really tired Ted bit about "lol jews running hollywood" that was offensive for being unfunny and kind of racist.

Right, because an hour or more of people talking about how shitty someone famous dressed is a step in the right direction, too. McFarlane is a woman-hating jerk, here's Joan Rivers to tell us why Sally Field looked like a used tampon. The whole Oscars thing is less about awards and more about who's wearing what and who looks like they fell in a dumpster. It's just silly.

Fixed. I repeat, no way in hell did McFarlane write that song.

It's an almost perfect scheme. McFarlane gets all the people wanting to burn him at the stake, where all Bruce gets is his ugly mug photoshopped into funny pictures.


#42

I'm sure the Oscars are written like most live shows, with a room full of writers. McFarlane might have had a hand in some jokes (the Sound of Music bit felt very Family Guy), but there's no way he wrote it all himself. He obviously read it all off a teleprompter, he even says something like "oh we're really gonna do that joke, I thought we were cutting it. Oh well." But regardless of the source of the jokes, in the end the whole award show thing is a 12-hour string of shaming people for what they wear and how they look anyway. Judging the host for some stupid jokes when you had some E Entertainment mouthpiece lambasting people for a dress they don't like is kind of unfair.


#43

I, personally, enjoy the fashion of the Oscars. But, I can understand how it wouldn't interest everyone, though. And people make a much bigger deal about it when the focus should be on the award show itself. I don't watch the Oscars just for the fashion though, I mean I follow fashion all year, as well as designers. But yeah, I just wanted to throw that out there. I like fashion. :(

I thought one of the things about the 'boobs' number was that some of the boobs were seen in dramatic and brutal rape scenes.

Like...that makes me feel a bit icky, knowing that someone said "forget the rape! BEWBS."

Charlie Don't Surf

Yeah, sexualizing/fetishizing rape scenes is just....beyond awful.

Just more proof that Vilanch is a vile little toad of a man. And it's a safe bet that he doesn't care one bit.

Bruce Vilanch has won 6 Emmies, all apparently for his work on award shows.

They give awards for award shows? That is the biggest pile of self-fellating nonsense I've ever heard.

Also don't forget Joan Rivers spent some time on Letterman's show making fun of Adele for being fat.

Also her comment about Heidi Klum, going something like "Germans haven't looked this hot since Nazis tossed Jews in the oven."
