The OFFICIAL OSCARS THREAD!!! Red Carpet 6:00pm E!, Awards 8:00 ABC

Who was Mr rabbit hole ?

[NYC GOP Chick]

When I find out who that assclown is, I'm gonna boycott him!

[Rummyfan]

Actually I'm surprised - I thought it would be the one about the father-and-son sexual molesters.

[Mo1]

Hey Billy you nitwit .. it was the Clinton Administation that did the tax audits

[freekitty]

I see they had Oprah's podium placed appropriately higher than anyone else's. This enabled her to look out over her subject and made it impossible for those in the audience to see her. Now if they could have just placed it further away that could have improved the sound factor.

[Central Scrutiniser]

I just rewatched the one about the father and his daughter and the note from the deceased mother, incredibly well done and handled in such a good, realistic way.

[NYC GOP Chick]

As always, a pleasure! ;D

[stands2reason]

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

And with that comment, I turn it off. G'night folks!

[wizardoz]

Frankly, I thought fighting in Vietnam was justified. A failure, perhaps, but justified philosophically.

[Rummyfan]

Think that was Naomi Watts - hubba hubba!

[Hand em their arse]

Are you kidding, he may get another one by the end of the show!!! And he isn't even nominated again...

[John H K]

Well, the movie plot is fundamentally silly (The French building a copy of the U.S.S. Constitution, and the British ORDERING an old captured French 28, the Surprise, to CHASE a 44.)

The movie combined the first book with the Far Side of the World, of course, but it was thought that the "Bad Guys" being American, as it was in Far Side of the World, wouldn't be good box office and the French would be better :-).

Also, if they make sequels, by the time you're up to the War of 1812 the Napoleonic Wars are almost over.

[kabar]

Yeah look what happened to Vietnam after the communists took over. We should be proud that we liberated two countries with over 50 million people. Did this guy remember 9/11?

[xzins]

I'm afraid these people might think rather highly of themselves. Whaddayathink?

[NYC GOP Chick]

I think he was just trying to be funny there...

[Dr.Deth]

Well....this asshole will wait along time before he gets another Oscar.

Are you kidding? All you need is to slag Bush, they'll give you two.

This is more PC crap. "To Kill A Mockingbird" is pretty good movie, but best of all time smacks of revisionist commie pinko history which is whaqt the "Academy" is all about

[hellinahandcart]

I just got here, something about a rabbit hole, WTF?

What movie and what award brought that on?

[don-o]

"Why are you here?"

I have been here since 98, and I show up sometimes to challenge foolishness.

The attention to the cesspool a.k.a, Hollywood / Oscar needs some challenge. That is why I am here.

[Hildy]

LIGHTEN UP...It was relevant to his stupid farce of a movie. Robert McNamara. Yeesh.

[Floratina]

Billy Crystal thinks we're living in scary times. Taking his statement into context, he seems to think that it isn't the Islamofascists and terrorism that we must fear, but kind of values that he prize here at FR. I am glad that they are afraid of that.
