    - I'm sure you do fancy pants. :-) - Krusty Jan 14, 07:13

    - I was bored by Veep. -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 07:17
    - They didn't even nominate the best shows. Episodes? Come on, son! Smash? This category was so wrong and as a big TV comedy fan they failed. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 07:13
    - MUSICAL or comedy. see? -- nm - amanda Jan 14, 07:10 4

- Costner might get a guest starring role, his speech did indeed sound like he was dying or retiring or something -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 06:52 4
  - Word. Sorta rambled about Gregory Peck, and Costner's first GG he went to. Sounded like he wanted to complain about something (or someone), but - Flavorize Jan 14, 06:53 3
    - I got all kinds of vibe from him last night. - Diva Jan 14, 06:58 2
      - Yep, I think you're right about the long walk...There's gotta be a HBO show that he can star it, to get some cred back - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:03 1

    - [deleted] 1
      - Love your IM. -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:16
- And it was rare to see RDJ fall flat like that. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 06:25
- I honestly think she may have walked up there with the intention of coming out *big* and then realized it wasn't right. you know? -- nm - amanda Jan 14, 06:12 7
  - I saw her speak at a screening at SXSW and her delivery was similar. I think she's just sorta like that. -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 06:17 5
    - If you're all about privacy, why draw attention to it so much? Was everyone on the red carpet asking if she's gay? -- nm - Max Jan 14, 06:38
