Yah Hoo, hometown girl, Renee!!!!!

[Unknown Freeper]

is it my imagination or does Joan Rivers actually look kinda hot this year (her daughter too)

Are you okay?

[satchmodog9]

Cage is one of the biggest no talent hacks ever. His best role ever was in Raising Arizona. He sounds like a sub-moron any time he speaks.

[LisaMalia]

Marcia looks pissed, I guess I would be too. I'll bet the pregnancy hormones are really kicking in now.

[DoughtyOne]

[Diddle E. Squat]

Breaking News: Lee Brown just awarded her a civil service pension at 110% of her current salary...

[HairOfTheDog]

I loved him in Raisin Arizona though.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Once again, Oscar goes safe and makes up for Renee not winning last year. Any one of the others would have been better, especially Patricia Clarkson. Based on this, I predict Sean Penn and Charlize will win, and Eastwood will get director,and Lord of the Rings will get best pic.

Still waiting for Eugene Levy and Cathrine O'Hara singing from "A Mighty Wind"

[mass55th]

Damn Doughty...you're fast!!

[eddie willers]

Best Supporting Actress is.... RENEE!!!

Yep....I heard a pundit say that she should have won last year and she would get it this year because they usually give it the next year if they screwed up and have a chance to make good.

[I got the rope]

Thanks for finding that graphic. It certainly does look familiar. I wonder if they acknowledge the book in the film credits.

I don't think so. If you look at the characters in the book then look at the movie it looks pretty black and white to me. I guess Disney has done this before...look at the Lion King link in the thread I posted.

This guy should not have accepted this Oscar IMHO.

[NormsRevenge]

Great shots! Thanks!

[rintense]

How come she hasn't thanked her boyfriend from the White Stripes?

[Arkinsaw]

Are you okay?

Must be a host around Joan Rivers head.

[DoughtyOne]

[Lil'freeper]

In DeNiro's voice: "You! You're good, you! You're good!"

Poor Renee, she's rattling on like a terrified schoolgirl. She thanks Tom Cruise and the camera shifts to Nichole. goodness

[shaggy eel]

,,, be patient. Your time will come [LOL]

[cyborg]

Well I wouldn't put her near a fire...She may melt.
