The Oscars

[Dusty]

Pretty boring this year. Not even any really good dresses to look at

I like Ellen, but I don't know if she's a very good host for the Oscars. And I don't know about Jerry Seinfield either - he seems a little dated. I don't know who I'd pick - Billy Crystal will always be my favorite.

As for the winners - glad the Departed won, although I was secretly cheering for Little Miss Sunshine I was just amazed it got nominated at all. And to have it win best original screenplay and best supporting actor was great! Best actor and actress were a shoe-in. Kinda cool to see the American Idol cast-off win. And Marty of course!

Pan's winning 3 was awesome too! But how could it not win best foreign language film

There were WAY to many montages, as usual. The Will Farrell/Jack Black thing was embarrassingly bad. Acrobatic visuals - kinda cute, especially the penguins... at least it was a unique idea. I liked Will Smith's kid a LOT - he's adorable!

Anyway, I will ALWAYS watch the Oscars just because, well, they are the Oscars. And I like to ogle at famous people once in a while and think, well, what would *I* say if I were on the stage?

Seriously, I thought this movie was a lock for best foreign film, especially given that it won a couple awards right off the bat. That was the biggest head scratcher for me.

I think next year they should get Steve Carell or Conan O'Brian. They would both do a good job as a host.

Conan would have to leave his masturbating bear at home though.

 

[Bardoon]

Yeah Conan was hilarious for the Emmys...one of the best hosts I've ever seen.

Ellen was lame and annoying.I never really liked her and she just seemed really out of place.What was with the whole vacuum cleaning bit?Stupid.

I want to see the Departed,Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth now.A big BRAVO to Martin Scorsese for scoring his first well-deserved Oscar.It's disappointing that O'Toole didn't win though.

I am glad Pirates of the Caribbean 2 won for Visual Effects...the work on Davy Jones and his crew was amazing.

Never really cared for Dreamgirls but I'm surprised it didn't win best song.*BARF* on Ethridge's song and Gore's documentary....I hate that stupid political input there (though Gore getting cut by the music was funny). Congrats to Pan's Labyrinth for all its wins as well.

BORAT WAS CHEATED!


BTW - I am beginning to strongly believe that Jessica Biels is invited to these award shows just so she can show up and look really,really HOT!

Ellen sucks. Her jokes are nothing but bombs. This last bit I was hoping that Clint Eastwood would pull out his .44 Magnum and blow her head clean off.

Awesome.

 

[Asura]

yeah, agree with what pretty much has been said.

The Gospel singers were out of place. Jack looked freaked, lol

Also, Al Gore took up a bit too much time. I felt the show was one big political message. I can't believe Dream Girls lost in the best music category to Ethridge. That/Her song was terrible and forgettable.

Seinfeld would make for a good canidate next year.

i totally missed the oscars, oh well. i'm glad scorsese won an oscar, but i think the departed was over rated.

I feel the same. Also scorsese didn't get emotional, probably because he knew his movie was a remake, nothing more.

I, like many others, was also very disappointed in the fact that Pan's Labyrinth didn't win best foreign movie award. I am hoping that next year, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart will host the oscars!
