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!

I have a nephew dating a hard leftist lawyer from SF. To make her crazy, every time she sighs and says George Clooney's name, I tell her I understand he is very pretty but what a shame when he came out of the closet!

Works every time.

[highlander_UW]

Reminds me of Mango on SNL

[Lil'freeper]

Booooooo! Wrong thread.

Tho, he might look good in some of the dresses.

[Maven]

Oh, I'll agree with you there. First time I saw him was in Reign of Fire...fairly minor part, really, but I said "Who is THAT???"

I own it. I own just about every movie and/or TV show he's ever been in that's available for purchase.

For me, it was seeing him in "Timeline," an otherwise bad adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel. But seeing him in it made me go, "Whoa, who is that GORGEOUS Scot???"

Haven't met him in person, so I do have to say the best looking man I've ever actually seen up close and personal was Goran Visnijc from "E.R." The camera just HATES that man - that's how good looking he is.

But Gerry's the charmer!

Is anyone else not attracted to Clooney? I don't get his appeal.




I never got his appeal either....he has one range of emotion...when he cocks his head....

[Jrabbit]

ROFL!!!

[Borges]

I may have overreacted in my initial post. Sorry if that's how I came off. Certainly was not my intention to give that impression.

[conservativebabe]

LMAO!

[altura]

He's not short, but he is short sighted.

I remember when he was on RoseAnn. He looked like a dork as that factory manager.

[beaversmom]

One second apart!

Are we good or what? Simultaneous comments!

[mystery-ak]

These two presenters look like they are trying out for the remake of the Addams Family

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

No, we were going on nothing. If I'd had some beer in me, the premonition would have been clearer, but you can't find any in store in the panhandle that will sell to you at 3 in the morning...

[eleni121]

Not for everyone I understand...as for me I love what Rodriguez and tarantino did with Frank Miller's sin city...cannot wait for "300" ---opening soon!

[peggybac]

Where did you read he was 5'8"?

[Floratina]

I think Clooney was just having a laugh with that drinking comment. I thought it was funny.

[Maven]

Have you seen the trailer for Butler's new movie "300".

Saw it when it was first available. I've already organized a Movie Night Field Trip to see "300" with my Movie Night friends on March 9. Some, like my boyfriend, are Frank Miller fans, and others are Gerard Butler fans (boyfriend is very tolerant and indulgent).

I thought she was genuine, as well.

Hope Simon is enjoying his snarky words while he has to eat them!

[silent_jonny]

Dontcha just love a leftie love fest.

I do find it perversely entertaining :)

[MagUSNRET]

The only reason I believe George Clooney is in Hollywood at all, is due to an aunt named Rosemary and an uncle named Jose Ferer

[Lil'freeper]

Speaking of visuals - what did you think of The Prestige?
