[denydenydeny]

nd your thread and obvious interest in moral degenerates is repulsive to me.

Then go away.

[krb]

Seems obvious that the documentary that allows Robert Macnamara to attone for his sins would win.

[longtermmemmory]

why I skipped the oscars:


Crystal said that the first time he hosted the Oscars (news - web sites) 13 years ago, things were different from today: "Bush was president, the economy was tanking and we'd just finished a war with Iraq (news - web sites)."

I missed nothing.
besides everything I need to know about Oscar I saw/read here on FR.

[Lil'freeper]

BOOOOOO!!!!! GET THE NUT OFF STAGE!!!!

[Mo1]

Here goes the political speech

[wizardoz]

BOY that's a big head. Cusack looks like Rocky Dennison.

[xp38]

Here we go...LOL

[nhoward14]

It looks like her blow dryer exploded in her face.

[Diddle E. Squat]

LOL,

"I want to thank the academy for finally recognizing my films. About dadgum time, thanks for waking up you lousy inbreds..."

Uh oh, here comes the idiot political speech.

What a doofus.

[Hand em their arse]

AND HERE WE GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NYC GOP Chick]

Is this the first political speech of the evening? Who was that a-hole, so I can avoid all his work?

[weegee]

Antiwar rant. Time 9:45CST

[Robert A Cook PE]

True.

The Hornblower movies (made for TV a few years back) were also "accurate enough" so that the movie (dialog, sets, images, animation, and camera work) never got in the way of the story.

My problem with the Hornblower movies was that they warped the script where it wasn't needed.

But, having read M&C books, the movie does better than the book.

[Maigrey]

2 hours, 45 minutes.

Must be a new record.

[wizardoz]

Yeah, I can't wait for his tax audit either.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Kiezlowski was brilliant, I rewatch Decalouge all the time, amazing amazing work. I like Bunuel, surreal but funny.

[Rummyfan]

Man Rue Paul has gained weight

Man, you're killing me!!!! ROTFLOL! What is that cow doing on this show?

[Kieri]

Crystal is clueless with his "I'd hate to see HIS tax audit" crack.

It was the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION that abused the IRS, you pinhead!

[KellyAdmirer]

Political rant alert!!!! Something about a rabbit hole and Vietnam and I seriously think he was on drugs from the way his eyes were bugging out. The audience kind of sat on its hands for that one.

[writer33]

Ahhh. It's so refreshing to see intelligent individuals, not caught up in this hype. I can't even remember the last time I watched an Academy Awards show.

It all became pointless and meaningless to me. But you sound like an intelligent human being, which in itself, is hard to understand. According to them there leftists on the West Coast.
