HAS ANYBODY SAID IT YET? BOYCOTT THE OSCARS (Oscars Live Thread)
3-4-06 | freedom4me

Posted on 03/05/2006 1:43:20 PM PST by freedom4me

I suppose on this thread it goes without saying, but I'll say in anyway...BOYCOTT THE OSCARS tonight.

I want the ratings for this year's program go into the toilet (where most the nominated movies belong). I won't waste my money to see the films, my electricity to watch the Oscars, or my time watching to witness Hollywood's self-adulation fest.

Pass it on...

Just keep your fingers crossed that Brokeback is a wash out.

Please God...

Capote was such a caricature of himself that playing him would seem easy, but I didn't see the movie.

But the clips they showed were very capote.

Hey, that could be a new word for whoever was wanting a new word.

Renee and Terry and all of the beautiful models and actresses are beards. No relationship has lasted longer than a root canal.

He also made a comment the other day about playing Batman as "gay". I thought that was rather telling as well.

1500 posts and nothing substantiative. This evening is a bore-fest. No matter how much they try to hype it up on TV.

This is why the entertainment industry is so important. Without them, I would have continued in my erroneous thinking that it was simple, nay easy, to be a pimp.

LOL

Not only do these egocentrists not have a word of thanks for our military, they don't even thank the suckers who shell out money to see their movies.

Sheesh, even Gloria Swanson thanked all her fans "out there in the darkness" in "Sunset Boulevard."

The oscars are about self-promotion and the industry, which is a business, an international business. That said, Hoffman's sincerity, came through. And as you know, once you can fake that, you got it made.

I am so disappointed! I really wanted him to win in this category -- but they were determined to give a gay award one way or the other, weren't they????

He's certainly put a lot more effort into being a stud than Rock Hudson ever did.

Glad you guys liked it. I was never a Capote fan and don't recall seeing Hoffman in anything, but his speech was pretty good.

Funny shot of the orchestra pit now. Wow, is Travolta more gay than ever, or what?

Actually, movie people work really hard and have to be a team and all that. It's too bad so much of the "talent" end up perverts and leftists. The support crew and techies are the ones that make it happen.

Exactly. I didn't see Capote either (I haven't seen many films lately, I wouldn't mind seeing it, I like evaluating acting) but it should be noted that on Family Guy, Brian the animated talking dog did a pretty good Capote, too.

I said the same thing earlier...a thanks to our GI's would have been nice, since watching movies on their little dvd players is just about all they can do in their off time...
