The Oscars.
 

Anyone watching it tonight?

if I stay awake and that's a big if....

it's only on Sky in the uk, right?

nope

The Oscars are one of those things that I take pleasure in missing.

the what?

Avatar wins best art direction. Guys thanks James Cameron's "deep vision" (or something like that). Weird pause and some barely muffled laughter. Shot of Cameron's grimace.

its on but then again my wife is hot so...

why was i kind of attracted to kathryn bigelow?

Because she directed Near Dark?

Because she's attractive, obviously. I watched the BAFTAs the other week and felt the same thing.

true

uh?

i was talking about the oscars with my friend, before it aired, and i was like "uhhhh they still do that shit?"

and most importantly-- do people still care?

apparently some do (keeping it simpleton, i'm looking at you-- though it hurts my eyes).


must flee now...

wow, that was a brief absence (miscalculated timings).

so, bazookas, did you make your friend pay for making you watch? please say you did. tell me you boxed his ears until they were purple.

watched most of it. Really boring show this year

so why did you keep watching? this is most puzzling.

was actually playing billiards during oscar telecast. My apartment complex has a billiards room and TV's inside.

After watching highlights of the Oscars, the BAFTAs was definitely better.

There should be a superhero like Captain Obvious called Hypocrisy-Avenger or something who annoys everybody around him by trying to out people as hypocrites over the most innocuous comments.

What on God's green Earth are you trying to convey with that nonsensical verbiage? :confused:

No, you can't be that thick. I don't believe you.

I wanted to watch it until I found out that there was a documentary about Kasabian on VH1.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

I'm never talking to you again.

Will you return the Heavy Stereo t-shirt which you borrowed quite a while ago now? Besides, I always told you that it's too large on you. I'm probably going to The Good Mixer on Friday, if you can bring it with you that'd be great.

so they arrested a building owner on $1,000,000 bail (reduced to $100k) and put out $200-500k warrants on three other business owners, ALL on Hollywood boulevard, for putting up illegal supergraphics (enormous billboards and 9 story posters)...

these things plaster the buildings in West LA and Hollywood, and also the area by the Staple's Center.. people in LA have been complaining about this kind of issue for 75 years!

what a coincidence that the week they shut down Hollywood Blvd for this Oscars bullshit that the city attorny puts the heat on supergraphics, but ONLY those illegal ones put up in the direct vicinity of the Kodak theater? can we say corruption Sierra Leone style? BULLSHIT! fuck the oscars and all this disgusting commercialism, these are the kind of events in LA that I find rather absurd..

I did not watch. What a waste

Of course, no one's going to acknowledge the irony--that the most boring thread ever consists of slamming a show for being boring.

One the one hand, the fact that Michael Bay (an Academy member) gets a vote on Best Director completely invalidates the thing.

On the other hand, it's just a fucking show. I recorded it, skipped the boring bits, had a few laughs, learned about a few flicks I hadn't yet heard of, and called it a night. Yeah, not a stellar year, but it was far more entertaining than that quivering abortion called the Grammys.

agreed

i can't believe anyone pays any attention to award shows

burn, hollywood; burn.

other than old spinsters, who watches that shit?

I liked The Hurt Locker.

oh. i see.

i would have pulled an elvis and shoot the tv

last year some friends invited us over for some oscars party. the drinks and food were ok but the show was fucking awful. we talked back to the TV like crazee.

this year they didn't invite us back.

guess we're not white enough...!
