"It looks like a flocked Christmas tree. :/"

That's what I thought when I saw the picture.

Jackman is a good family man, first wife, lots of children and ... oh, he’s handsome.

Thanks for letting us know who this Aussy host is... I don't think I've ever heard of Hugh Jackman.

My husband and I used to be avid movie-goers, but not for the last couple of years. I would like to see Slumdog Millionaire, though... sounds like a good one.

Will be interesting to learn when the first political outburst occurs...

Is the Messiah (aka Crock O'Bama) making an appearance tonight?

Funny, as I haven’t been to the movies in about 12 years.

He just showed he’s an idiot as well-—reminds me a bit of Anthony Newley. Newley had musical talent but a roving eye.

You have not missed much. from what I hear from friends & others, this year's Oscar nominees are BORING. Even their blurbs sound BORING.

Why is Barbara Walters having her little special? She always struck me as an uptight hag with a bad voice. She proved how petty and mean-spirited she is when she described in her book her affair with a senator. This no doubt caused a lot of embarrassment and pain for his family.

I agree. That’s the way to cut the schedule way down.

15 years in and no award yet. It looks more like a parade.

Eva Marie Saint is a class act—nice to see her. She was splendid in so many classics...

My wife and daughter are downstairs watching it, but as for me, I rather be having a root-canal.

Walters was the first FEMALE Affirmative Action Reporter.. or one of the first. maybe they’re still afraid she’ll sue if they fire her.
