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.

LOL---I cannot take credit...but if the shoe fits...

[Lil'freeper]

Well, there goes my Unified Theory of the Apocalypto Subversion.

I was just about to do a big posting. *pout*

[altura]

Funny, but it looks more like steroids.

[Screamname]

I`m not watching it.... Did AlGore win yet and get his 30 minute standing ovation?

[Lil'freeper]

Not yet, I think.

[Jrabbit]

I have no clue....none. About any of these movies except what I've learned here.

[silent_jonny]

The Meryl Streep thing was mildly funny--lol

[eleni121]

Yeah...we liked that too...and the end. Scorsese does stuff like that best. Remember Taxi Driver?

[DCPatriot]

I thought it was terrific.

Not wanting to sound chauvanistic but not every girlfriend or wife is going to enjoy it.

The acting all around is phenominal...but look at the cast.

Two big thumbs up from me!

[altura]

I agree. She did a good snarky look.

[eleni121]

I understand..but it was a a parody of a parody if you know what I mean. Hard to do but he pulls it off.

Not wanting to sound chauvanistic but not every girlfriend or wife is going to enjoy it.

Sounds like a movie I'll have to see, it drives my wife bonkers every time she sees me watching Goodfellas.

[silent_jonny]

Rent the orginial...it was a lot funnier with Arkin andPeter Falk.

I just read Falk's autobiography (very good, btw) and he says wherever he goes people either yell out "Hey, Columbo!" or "Serpentine! Serpentine!" :)

[Central Scrutiniser]

Departed was a great film, reminded me of Kurosawa, and like it or not Leonardo is a good actor.

BTW, the HDTV broadcast is quite good, ABC usually screws these things up.

[Borges]

I don' think he was joking. He just sleepwalked through that role.

[Enosh]

Thanks.

[altura]

I know you are right that he will get a wild ovation when he wins.

Notice I didn't say 'if.'

Run, Al, run!

[silent_jonny]

LMAO!

[peggybac]

She does look weird these days, doesn't she? She used to be so pretty

Who?

[DCPatriot]

I don't remember how it ends. Just the self interrogation in the mirror...."You talkin' to me?"
