HAS ANYBODY SAID IT YET? BOYCOTT THE OSCARS (Oscars Live Thread)

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...

[nutmeg]

Wow, BBM loses! Alright... ;-D

[Jrabbit]

Yes, he did.

[JohnBDay]

The Academy was able to quit Brokeback.

[Petronski]

Damn nice!

I might have to see it now.

[Jessica24]

OMG! I didn't even think Crash was very good, and I'm sure Brokeback Mountain was better, but this is freaking hilarious.

[Junior_G]

Crash was guaranteed to win when over half the members of the academy were also members of the ensemble cast.

[onyx]

Is it? I am watching the local news. Never bothered to tune into the Oscars tonight.

Did the fellow who played Johnny Cash win? ______+ Phoenix?

[altura]

That's truly weird. Crash. I don't think most people gave it a chance. And it doesn't sound like a movie I would like, but, along with most other people, I didn't see it.

[RightWingAtheist]

*groan* I'm just glad that a film by the guy who made Due South won.

[Mr. Blonde]

And lets not forget Ordinary People winning over Raging Bull. Scorsese has been truly jipped many a time at these awards.

[eternity]

Don't have to hear about homos on morning talk show tommorrow. Thank you Jesus!

[Callahan]

Haggis is writing the new James Bond.

[Junior_G]

Crash wasn't bad. Probably not even one of the 20 best films of the year, but not bad as far as Best Pictures go.

[Alouette]

Glad to see that Crash won Best Picture.

I thought "Crash" sucked, but I'm just glad BrokeBM did not win.

[softwarecreator]

Agreed. But I think that adapted screenplay and best director wins are completely appropriate

Wow you really are a cheerleader for the gay sheepers movie, aren't you?

[RightWingAtheist]

Yes, he did. He also wrote Hud.

[La Enchiladita]

Yes, indeedy.

[Petronski]

And lets not forget Ordinary People winning over Raging Bull.

That's damn near a crime against humanity.

[onyx]

CRASH? HAR! Really?

I TIVO'd that one. Too funny.

I saw Walk the Line and Crash and neither one in the theater.

[WatchYourself]

Crash was an excellent movie. The Academy actually got it right. Ironically, for a movie about racism it was not politically charged whatsoever. Rent it...
