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...

All the Holly-weird people must have a pact to not laugh at the basic cable TV show host that makes jokes about Hillary Clinton.

Thanks for the screen caps. I'm not watching the show but I do love to see the clothes!

I appreciate the pictures. It's extremely satisfying to me that I know who so few of these people are, LOL!

Kong won best visual effects. In a category that did not have 'Star Wars: Episode 3' or 'Sin City,' because Lucas and Rodriguez are outside the circle of onanism.

At least 'Wallace and Grommit' won. I love Nick Park's tie!

WGN Superstaion is doing re-runs of "24".

Much better than the Oscars.

I thought Jo HO looked the best at least she is alive with color and she eats.

I've been boycotting them all my life; (only because I don't give a rats a$$ about who-gets-what in hollywood!)

There was a time in the history of civilization when "entertainers" were considered the dregs of society, funny how things change.

I'm watching the thread between chess games but not watching the show. Does that count?

Does that mean the audience was worse than lame-brained? Because Jon Stewart is a complete dud.

I'm pretty sure that there are FR Oscar Live Thread seat fillers for those that have to leave for awhile.

seriously. Can you imagine the delicate Matthew Perry or the dainty Leonardo DiCaprio fighting for our country.

Naomi Watts' dress looks like it's made out of used tissues.

Someone should have powdered her forehead.

I'm sure Rodriguez pissed all of them off when he quit the DGA to give Frank Miller the recognition he deserves.
