Live Heckle-fest Thread of the 79th Academy Awards
25 February 2007

Posted on 02/25/2007 2:00:05 PM PST by Lil'freeper

**WARNING: GRAPHICS INTENSIVE THREAD**

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...

Hey, we were just talking about that. I loved that movie and glad I remembered it. I'll have to rent it.

Things like that drive my mom nuts--she will stay up late trying to remember someone actor's name or the name of a movie. I keep telling her she needs a computer but she won't listen.

There was something wrong with Jack. He was not himself, or maybe he was himself.

It's over! They should have called this the Algore Awards.

I never watch the Oscars, but I happened to be out at dinner in a restaurant tonight when Algore was on the big screen TV making whatever stupid comments he was burbling. The Lefty audience was all ga-ga, of course. When Algore said something particularly annoying, I looked up at the TV and said, "Aw, shut up. Stupid idiot. Can't stand that man." Everybody around me laughed and agreed.

Even here in L.A., it's been a cold winter -- or what passes for cold here. :)

I know. Michael Crighton refers to Wikkipedia scathingly in the book I'm reading (Next), but I love it. I know you can't totally take it to the bank but for a quick, easy to read take on something, you can't beat it.

Now I am REALLY leaving.

I vote for this year's being the worst yet.

It's certainly one of the nominees :)

They get worse every year. And every year (I think) the ratings are smaller and smaller.

I'm gonna have to see if it's available on e-bay, because it's been years since I've seen it, but Peter O'Toole is great as the mad scientist, Mariel Hemingway is hillarious as the young woman in love with him, and Virginia Madsen is absolutely gorgeous. Like I said, it's a very off-beat comedy, but I loved it.

LOL!

I noticed in all of his speeches tonight--and he had TWO, at least--he never mentioned "global warming". Just "climate change". Somebody must have convinced him how stupid "global warming" sounds when there's all this snow :)

the Oscars is like tennis or golf in general. Everybody is white, the action like watching paint dry, and most common people do not give a crap! I would rather hit myself in the nutz with a rubber mallet than watch the Oscars. Where is Janet Jackson when you need her, we need some action. PUPPIES!!!

It's always one of the highest rated TV shows of the year and the movies that win get a boost at the Box Office. I would say people care somewhat.

That's my opinion of all awards shows. I haven't managed to sit through a full show since Johnny Carson was hosting, and the Grammy sham of handing out 5 awards to the Dixie Twits only shows that it's not about entertainment anymore, it's all about how far left they can go. Giving Algore an Oscar is as big an insult to everybody's intelligence as giving one to Michael Moore for "Farenheit 911"...

F 9/11 wasn't nominated for any Oscars.

I thought they gave him an Oscar for that garbage, but I rarely pay attention anyway. But still, giving Algore an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Lie" is an insult to everybody with a more than 1 brain cell.
