The movie was stupid and a perfect example of the screwed up people in the world. I don’t like Katherine either.

Angelina is indeed knocked up, and revealed her baby bump last night at the ISA. Of course, since she won’t be getting jack this year, she had to reveal the baby bump so she can steal everyone else’s thunder. Oh, and to quite possible mock Jennifer Aniston. Jolie is low class.

Weren’t Brad, Jennifer, and Angelina co-hosts of some pre-Oscar party?

Me, too. Jack Nicholson even looked pretty good in that live shot. Though he already seems drunk.

I heard that but haven’t seen any gossip or photos about it.

OK, Mrs Species has got the remote and it looks like I will be watching.

Has anyone come up with a drinking game for tonight?

Are they going to block out the West Coast broadcast and then replay it here at 8:00 p.m.

I don't know why Regis is there. He's been promoting it for weeks on his show but it makes no sense except for advertising.

Are you watching this?? Wow!

So, for those not watching TV, the big opening surprise is a CGI movie, about 90 seconds long or so, featuring famous and well-recognizable characters from movies past.

And now we’re going to commercial.

My annual contribution to this thread--a reality check from the greatest cinema artist of all.


He said wisely: "I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle."

Lol! Jack did look very nice; I agree. And he did look a bit lit, but he’s earned it.

They really don’t make them like they used to let us say in the silent era for example.

Maybe that is why the interest level is.. well..blase.
