Is that tonight?

/see how much I care?

Little early, subby.

The Acadamy Awards are like reading movie reviews. Not always a good measure of what you would like to see.

I think Hugh Jackman will do a fantastic job and not suck like all other Oscar hosts since Billy Crystal in his prime.

Slumdog Millionaire was not that good.

Will Kate Winslet finally get a stiff little man to put between her two Golden Globes?

If not, my stiff little man and I will be available to console her. =P

That leaked Oscar list going around the Net was proved fake (the Sound Mixing people actually worked on WALL-E, not Dark Knight).

So betting the house in Vegas on something I found on reddit was a bad idea?

Gaaaaaahhhhh

Joystk: Slumdog Millionaire was not that good.

This. My favorites were Milk and Frost/Nixon but Button will probably win best picture. Slumdog Millionaire was alright but not amazing or anything.

/Movie expert cause I saw all 5 yesterday

Is it that time of year again where we are so privileged to watch Hollywood's mass circle jerk?

Awww, crap. I'm gonna lose a lot of money tonight.

/not really

Are they going to let the winners actually speak this year, or will they limit it to a couple of minutes so the host can have more air time?

Well, since they're not gonna have the interminable "Uma...Oprah...Oprah...Uma" travesty of a few years ago, perhaps.

But I am taking money on how long the telecast will go before someone makes a penis-related comment about the host's name.

Does that mean they're a Farker?

THIS.
Though if Kate Winslet asked me to watch I would.
fappity

This will be hard to watch, I bet. Too bad there's nothing else on tonight.

My next door neighbors in my building are having a big Oscars party. It's the only time of the year that I can hear them through the walls. They put up big Oscar decorations on their door. This year they ran a red carpet from the elevator to their front door. Cute.

GAAAAAAAYYYYYY

Cute is not the word I'd use.

At least they're decent neighbours for the rest of the year.

I'm here to post an ironic comment by pouring my derision on a thread I could have just as easily ignored.

Slumdog Millionaire for Best Editing, easily.

Can anyone deny this night would be much more interesting had TDK or Iron Man gotten more nominations?

Tr0mBoNe: This will be hard to watch, I bet. Too bad there's nothing else on tonight.

You know, there is a world outside your TV. For instance, books are fun.

Did anyone else read the story that the Academy Awards refused to let Michelle Williams accept the award on Ledger's behalf (if he wins) because they were never married and were only partners?

I hadn't seen that. Does anyone know who is accepting it for him? It's been a given that he'll win since the film came out.

The outside world is a cold and unfamiliar place which is highly overrated.

All I care about is if WALL-E wins all of its awards; it deserves them.

At the Golden Globes him family accepted it, and I think Nolan went on stage with them.

According to the NY Post, his dad will accept it. I read somewhere else that it will be given to his daughter.

Call me derivative, but I just wanted to repeat this post, as I can't be bothered commenting with an original thought of my own.

"I suppose I could riff a list of things that I care as little about as this comment. Lemme see, uhh.... Low-carb diets. Michael Moore. The Republican National Convention. Kabbalah and all Kabbalah-related products. Hi-def TV, the Bush daughters, wireless hot spots, 'The O.C.', the U.N., recycling, getting Punk'd, Danny Gans, the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys. Jeff, that Wiggle who sleeps too darn much! The Yankees payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, every hybrid car, every talk show host! Everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, everything everything everything everything everything everything-eve-everything that exists - past, present and future, in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions. Oh! And Hugh Jackman."

I need to win my office pool after my piss-poor performance at last night's office poker game.

/may have an office gambling problem

Says the TotalFark subscriber.

I just switched on the eTalk at the Oscars... do they only employ hot asian women on the microphones? They're smokin hot, but it's a little odd that they'd sign up identical twins like that.

Why is Slumdog Millionaire nominated again?

If an Australian director that's never been to America shows up on our shows, does a movie about a poor minority that goes on Who Wants to be a Millionaire while stalling so that he can get noticed by a girl stolen by some pimp, and then after he saves her, they all break into a stereotypical 90's rap video, would that be considered a Best Picture nom?

/yes

I am watching on and off tonight strictly because it's going to be a round of questions at my local bar trivia night tomorrow evening.

I always watch. Even though it pisses me off. I watch.

The craptastic nominees this year have left me only interested in Ledger's posthumous win and cheering on Mickey Rourke over Sean Penn. As for the Academy crowning another movie they'll regret in 5 years...just...FARK, Slumdog Millionaire sucks.

/also, here before the inevitable "am I the only person on Earth who didn't like TDK that much?" asswipe gets here

Odd. I'm rooting for Slumdog and Danny Boyle, and I want Penn to win over Rourke.

DamnYankees: and I want Penn to win over Rourke.

Blasphemy.

I think Slumdog Millionaire will get Best Picture, but David Fincher, for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, will get Best Director.

I also want to nip this in the bud - please no one start ranting about how no one would care about Heath Ledger's performance if he was still alive. That's nonsense. Ledger's Joker was an incredibly highly-anticipated performance and everyone was very psyched for it. I have a hard time thinking of a more highly anticipated performance in a movie in the last 10 years - and this was all before his death.

He was amazing and should win.

As long as before announcing "Best Picture" they say, "Sorry about Button, that was mix up form the Razzies. If we made anyone decide to go see that piece of shiat, please feel free to contact the Academy so you may kick us in the yambag."

List of nominees. And since this is the year that Heath Ledger is in the montage of dead celebrities, I predict he'll win the Oscar for Actor in a Supporting Role. And will get a big ovation both times.

/Safest prediction ever.

Yawn. Wake me up when Danny Boyle cleans house and Heath Ledger gets resurrected.

And HulkHands and I agree on Slumdog Millionaire and perhaps even agree on Rourke over Penn.



"We are through the looking glass here, people! Up is down...and black is white!"

We have a spectacular Queen Latifah looking like a linebacker.

If Button wins Best Picture, that might be the end of the Academy Awards as any of sort of quasi-relevant event.
