Live Heckle-fest Thread of the 79th Academy Awards

25 February 2007

**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...

Nominations open for the following categories.

7. The Simon Cowell "What The H311 Is That" Award Also known as the Just Say No To Drugs Certificate of Achievement Given to celebs who listen to drug abusing stylists.
6. The All Washed Out Award For perfectly nice looking celebs sporting a sickly monochromatic look.
5. The Morticia Medal of Merit For perfectly nice looking celebs that think goth is cute. Also for unnatural and extremely artifical hair colors.
4. The Dude, Your Mother Dresses You Funny Award For male celebs that shouldn't be allowed to pick out their own clothes.
3. The Treasure to Trash Award For the perfectly nice looking celebs that choose to wear garbage bags. Also for the most creative use of recycleable materials in a garment.
2. The Sheer Overexposure Award For when next to nothing is left to the imagination.
1. The Bjork Award The outfit that causes such severe psychological trauma that viewers are scarred for decades or for outfits that resemble animals (whole or in part).

Nominations will be accepted throughout the evening for the following awards:

1. Lavender Oscar: For the individual(s) whose contributions to film and the events of the evening serve to further undermine traditional American values.

2. Red Oscar: For the individual(s) whose contributions to film and the events of the evening serve as a reminder of just how Anti-American the Hollyweirdos are.

3. The Britney: For the individual(s) whose contributions to film and the events of the evening serve to illustrate just how far down it really is to rock bottom.

This thread is offered humbly as an homage to the wild and raucus Oscars threads of years past. So let your hair down and have fun!

[Borges]

Arkin was good in it but he's good in everything. It's a career award.

[peggybac]

They don't memorize the whole script.

[Lil'freeper]

But at least she's wearing a color other than paste this year. She gets points for that.

[DCPatriot]

I always like his dry delivery in comedic roles. Very much like Charles Grodin, don't you think?

Midnight Run kind of sad sack character.

[KsSunflower]

In theory it sounded promising...a little girl and her dysfunctional family on a road trip to a children's beauty pageant.

However, it had filthy language. FILTHY. Most of it dark and depressing with a slightly redeeming ending. A waste of time and definitely not for children.

It seems that either you love or hate this movie.

[Lil'freeper]

Donald Trump would have to co-host in that case. If you're going to have a melt down, it might as well be nuclear.

[mystery-ak]

Brandon's fav film...Cars.......next to Sponge Bob of course.

[MagUSNRET]

My only comment regarding this "crap" is "Lets save money and just call it the Democratic National Convention, and be done with it!"

Thank you and good night ;-) LOL

[Cecily]

I have liked him in other roles ("The Russians Are Coming" still makes me laugh), but he was just okay in LMS. I was rooting for Eddie Murphy.

[DCPatriot]

I misstated that. I meant their personal scene copy.

[stockpirate]

She looks totally weird in the other picture posted here.

[NCC-1701]

Yep, Nicole would make this look good:

[altura]

thanks for this thread. I think I need to take a break and read my book. I'm reading Next by Michael Crighton. It's way scary.

I'll be back.

[Borges]

There's been hardly anything political so far.

[eleni121]

Was that bald man Jim Taylor something singing fire and rain?

[Borges]

These songs are terrible. Remember when people like Irving Berlin wrote songs for movies that were actually memorable?

[beaversmom]

Spoke too soon--Etheridge singing.

[andyssister]

This is ridiculous. (Melissa E I mean)

[beaversmom]

Aren't you going to be humming this one in 50 years?

[mass55th]

Message behind Etheridge: Use lite rail and mass transit where available. Hmm...I wonder how many of these starts took mass transit to the Oscars tonight?
