[Hand em their arse]

How could anyone "ugly" her up??

[Trinity_Tx]

LOL - freepmail it to me.

[Rummyfan]

There's one for Adapted, i.e. another source: novel e.g. And one for original.

[Houmatt]

YES! BARBARIAN INVASIONS!

[zoso82t]

That's telekinesis, Kyle.

[John H K]

Here's the problem:

He hired a bunch of historical consultants, and there was somewhat of a big deal made of that, and then proceeded to pretty much completely ignore them.

I'm not going to sit around and slam some historical war movie because the corporals had 4 buttons on their tunics instead of 3, that's obviously anal-retentive.

But if it had been a Vietnam movie and it showed Americans locking a bunch Vietnamese in a Buddhist temple and setting it on fire, which never happened, FR would have had a giant cow.

Just because the political ideas espoused by a movie are ones you like doesn't mean it gets a free pass.

[eddie willers]

LOL! I think she looks terrible.

You a chick?

WOO HOO! Barbarian Invasions wins! A GREAT satire on Socialize medicine, recently praised by Mark Steyn.

[Petronski]

One of the bottles of ketchup was wounded, and running away, when John Kerry shot it in the back. He was awarded a Silver Star.

[Lil'freeper]

Best foreign film winners: "We are so thankful that LOTR wasn't qualified for this category...."

LOL

[Maven]

Did Jack Black do his own singing at the end of "High Fidelity"?

Maven

[CalKat]

Yes it does. Where have you been?

[Kieri]

It just occurrs to me -- would "The Passion" qualify for Best Foreign Language Film next year? The Academy might try to "bury" it there, where it would be easy to award the the trophy to a film from France...or Germany...or China..

[Hand em their arse]

LOL, boy that was PC!!

[KellyAdmirer]

Funniest line of the night just given by some bimbo accepting an award - "We want to thank the academy for not nominating Lord of the Rings in this category."

[Petronski]

Thank you everyone. Merci beaucoup tout du monde.
