re: post #66 - LMAO!
I'll probably watch. It is boring; they haven't had a decent host since Crystal; don't like any of the movies that are up (except Walk the Line); but, I dunno...maybe it is a chick thing.
Last time I actually watched an Oscar presentation was when "Shakespeare in Love" was chosen as best picture over "Saving Private Ryan".
That was it.
Heck, I've been skipping the Oscars for well over 10 years - more like 15 years. I'm not all that interested when the denizens of Babylon give out awards to other, similarly perverse, denizens of Babylon.
They might as well complement each other on style - 'cos no one in Hollywood has any substance!
"Unforgiven"--pretty much the prequel to "Brokeback Mountain".
Are you pulling my . . leg? Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman were queer for each other?
Now I know how my mother felt when I broke the news to her in the late `80s that Rock Hudson was a 'back-door Romeo': she was ready to fight.
I remember a story of John Wayne riding Kirk Douglas for playing that "sissy, Van Gough", after `War Wagon'. But I doubt the Duke was actually riding `Spartacus'.
I'll do my usual routine the night the `Mutual Admiration League' (Legends In Their Own Minds) meets: while my blonde better-half watches goggle-eyed, I'll cut an apple in half & watch it turn brown.
Compared to the Oscars, that drivel on the boob-tube--now that's entertainment!
Dude! Join the club.
What's the point of Oscars?There is NO acting talent in"Whorelywood",just special effects which is no more than an adult cartoon.
I suppose they do compliment one another ... while the average person out in the Real World laughs at most of them!
Whoopi Goldberg in some outlandish costume when she was the host.....
I have never watched the Academy Awards of my own free will. I have watched to be polite to a lady friend – but the winners are either unknown to me or are people I consider really mediocre.
Show Business kids making movies of themselves
You know they don't give a f*** about anybody else
It must be a woman thing.
The Oscars aren't bad if you freep while you watch. Howlin's live threads are awesome!
I do like the red carpet preshow the best. The dresses are better than the show.
I've boycotted it since Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan was pro US army so it never had a chance.
That's EXACTLY what my wife says. She wouldn't miss the getups on those women for anything. But the actual awards, I don't think she's ever actually watched them and I know I haven't.
With all her money, you think Gwyneth would have sprung for a bra to wear to the Oscars.
I can't believe you people. I can think of no better way to spend my time than watching Liberals give awards to Liberals for being Liberal. / Sarc.
I recall actually watching a whole show when I was in college. Mid-80's?
