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...

aw, you know just what to say to a girl. *sweeeeet grin*
Half the people sitting there hate Sherry Lansing.
Looks like the side effects of steroids
That's interesting...it's the other way around here. My husband gets upset every time I want to see Goodfellas/Taxi Driver/etc.
Why do they dislike her?
The Ellen, Clint, Spielberg moment was pretty funny :)
Ellen interacting with audience again, but it got pretty funny when she was helping Spielberg with his photography skills.
very funny.....
I liked that bit too. Like Steven Speilberg can't take a decent picture :)
I'm only watching because of this thread, but I do feel a bit sick when I realize there are probably two hours left.
She was a presenter...gone brunette.
Quotes from Paltrow:
I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is "I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile!"
I'm very happy here (in London) and I really like the way the film industry works, everybody cares. I like that it doesn't have this big capitalistic feeling. When you do something in LA you really feel the crew are punching the clock.
I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.
Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends. It's a pretty city, you know.
It's actually going by pretty fast. Most of the tech awards have already been handed out.
These threads are the only thing that make the Oscars fun.
Here's a little yummy for us ladies.
Two hours left....I'll never make it....
Good grief...well, I know the show couldn't possibly keep me interested for 2 hrs...it's up to the rest of you to keep me interested or I'm switching...lol.
Okay. But the day after Idol ends: restraining order!
LOL ;)
