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...

The Academy was able to quit Brokeback.

OMG! I didn't even think Crash was very good, and I'm sure Brokeback Mountain was better, but this is freaking hilarious.

Crash was guaranteed to win when over half the members of the academy were also members of the ensemble cast.

Is it? I am watching the local news. Never bothered to tune into the Oscars tonight.

Did the fellow who played Johnny Cash win? ______+ Phoenix?

That's truly weird. Crash. I don't think most people gave it a chance. And it doesn't sound like a movie I would like, but, along with most other people, I didn't see it.

*groan* I'm just glad that a film by the guy who made Due South won.

And lets not forget Ordinary People winning over Raging Bull. Scorsese has been truly jipped many a time at these awards.

Haggis is writing the new James Bond.

Crash wasn't bad. Probably not even one of the 20 best films of the year, but not bad as far as Best Pictures go.

Glad to see that Crash won Best Picture.

I thought "Crash" sucked, but I'm just glad BrokeBM did not win.

Agreed. But I think that adapted screenplay and best director wins are completely appropriate

Wow you really are a cheerleader for the gay sheepers movie, aren't you?

That's damn near a crime against humanity.

CRASH? HAR! Really?

I TIVO'd that one. Too funny.

I saw Walk the Line and Crash and neither one in the theater.

Crash was an excellent movie. The Academy actually got it right. Ironically, for a movie about racism it was not politically charged whatsoever. Rent it...
