    Default An Oscar's Thread

    Can't believe I, of all people, had to make this.

    Discuss the Academy Award's.

    Jerry Lewis's speech was very nice.

    SUPER annoyed that they're not playing clips for the nominated performances. Who the smurf gives a crap about Cuba Gooding Jr?

    Anyway, they're playing the music from Slumdog Millionaire which is amaaazing. Love the soundtrack from that film.

    Edit: YAY! And Slumdog wins Best Score.

    Heath Ledger got the "obligatory dead guy" standing O.

    I'm destroying my mother in our Oscar pool, though.

    I've never understood the appeal of the Oscars. I just don't get it!

    It's a reason for Hollywood to jerk off to themselves and their friends while awarding movies that don't really deserve to be award.

    I haven't watched the Oscars or any other award-type show for the last couple of years because a good majority of the nominations kinda blew.

    Pfft, then y'all are missing out on the much deserved Slumdog love. Woohoo, Danny Boyle for Best Director!

    I watch the Oscars cause I'm a movie nut. I think it's an incredible industry filled with the most creativity and creative-minded people of any industry, ever.

    I love movies as well, they are one of my favorite things. But I honestly don't see the point of jerking off to a bunch of movies that don't deserve it. I will give it to Slumdog Millionaire, despite not having seen it, I have heard nothing but amazing reviews for it. But some of the movies up there don't deserve to be and some of the movies neglected don't deserve to be neglected.

    I just explained to my mother why Sean Penn won an award. Two roles are guaranteed to win Oscars: minority figure heads that are assassinated, and the retarded.

    You can't go full retard though.

    Anyway, the show kinda sucked balls, but I'm happy with a lot of the winners. Slumdog deserved all the awards it got, it really was one of the best films I've seen in a long time.

    Is Hugh Jackman naked like he said he'd be?

    Hopefully this Oscar will get Sean Penn to start working on that Phil Ochs movie he's been talking about for years.

    Then if he wins an Oscar for that, I will truly worship the man.
