You love them, you hate them, you love to hate them. Hollyweirdos, those wacky leftists who gather together for the annual group hug known as the Oscars. And how fun it is to heckle and razz them as they parade down the red carpet posing for the cameras, granting vapid interviews to equally vapid interviewers, too serious about making their political statements and social commentaries to realize the joke's on them. No one watches their movies. Just look at box office receipts. The money makers are the family films - the ones take it easy on social commentary and political statements. No one gives a flip about their art. They are such sad cliches - dozens of little emperors who have yet to realize they're wearing no clothes. And that's why they're SO FUN!
Speaking of clothes...

Well, it's about frakin' time!@
Edith was Jean Stapleton. She's still alive. Maureen Stapleton played in movies such as Cocoon, The Money Pit, Bye, Bye Birdie, etc.
I've seen parts of it. He played Matthew Broderick's friend, I think.
Yeah. I remember that. The man is such an arse.
It would have been awkward if he didn't win this one since they got Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg all together to present the award...
You're probably right, but Meathead always seemed to get in the better jibes against Conservatism and they always made Archie out as a bigot.
You do have a point.
Me too. I've loved O'Toole for years. I really like him in "HIgh Spirits."
Wuss! ;)
I might look at the montage you mentioned and see what you're talking about.
It was certainly an odd selection of clips.
He was a bigot. But not out of hatefulness just out ignorance. He became a better person as the show went on. And Meathead was often shown to be a hypocrite.
Haven't seen that one. What was it about?
The Departed wins best picture.
OMG!!!!!
What is the point of Jack being up there if he's not going to read any of the nominations??
You're right...they did take shots at both characters. It wasn't just a cut and dried thing.
I know, but I had to use my laptop to sit in front of the big tv, and I'm just not that comfortable and it was on a table that was too tall and it was a strain and ... and...and...
B-b-but I thought the results were "sealed" and closely guarded by those Waterhouse guys...!
I don't know if I like this voice-over lady that barks the trivia about the winners once their name has been announced, rather ungraceful delivery.
Diane Keaton looks very good.
Okay this is it....Good night all and thanks for the laughs.
Wow...what a graceful slick ending /s
