- Faye Dunaway was fine except for the yellow rubber gloves -- nm - amoxy Feb 25, 08:20
- Loved Chastain's dress. It works so well with her coloring. McCarthy, yeah, that was bad. It's not that she's plus size. - loosilu Feb 25, 08:19
- i liked a few that other's didn't like - i liked Kiebler's and Halle's. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:18 7
  - Halle looked like she was going for a hybrid 1970s discos/Cloud Atlas vibe. -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 08:27 1
    - she said she wanted to look like a bond girl. -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 08:28
  - I liked Kiebler's a lot, more than Halle's. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:22 3
    - Halle's dress was stunning. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 08:28
    - Halle's worked better on stage than on the red carpet, imo -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 08:22 1

  - Chicago anniversary. - Spawn Feb 25, 08:23 2
    - but, that's what i mean about 'no Chicago!', every single year is the 10th anniversary of SOME big movie - who cares? -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:24 1
      - Right. They need to do a splashy tribute to Birth of a Nation -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 08:25
- Hathaway could have just painted bullseyes on her dress. -- nm - Mop Feb 25, 08:16 2
  - she looked frumpy. -- nm - colin Feb 25, 08:17

- i'd like a gallery of extra long dresses. -- nm - colin Feb 25, 08:13
Clooney cracking open the mini-bar drink they threw him cracked me up -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 08:12 6
- Clooney's a good sport. He was the butt of many jokes. -- nm - Mop Feb 25, 08:15 5
  - Laugh all you want bitches, I'm going home with Keibler, I won Oscar and I'm pretty sure I could make any movie you want - George Clooney Feb 25, 08:21

    - This was my thought. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:27

Something else from the Oscar telecast that I thought was crappy and isn't getting mentioned much is essentially punking Sally Field - volnelk Feb 25, 08:06 5
- Hmm. I thought it was awesome. *shrugs* -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 08:26
- Seriously? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 08:23
- She was obviously in on it. I find it cool that she can poke fun at herself like that. - JaxSean Feb 25, 08:10 1
  - yeah, i thought it was cool of her. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:11
- LIGARA -- nm - Sally Field Feb 25, 08:07
Georgina Chapman (designer for Marchesa) designed her own maternity gown for the Oscars, and it's one of the prettiest I've ever seen. - loosilu Feb 25, 08:05 10
- Weinstein looks like a bridge troll. -- nm - colin Feb 25, 08:08 2
  - he's Harvey Weinstein. he can look like anything. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:09 1
    - Except pride -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 08:11

    - Elton's party. don't panic. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:07
For me, the Oscars were more annoying than they needed to be because I (foolishly) tried to get in on the Mondo posters during the show. - TFox Feb 25, 08:00
The states most and least affected by the sequester -- (link) - ty97 Feb 25, 07:59 1
- Meh. This list is culled from the Washington Monument pronouncements of the heads of the departments. - spamlet Feb 25, 08:11
Jaxsean, did I just register and not make any picks? - amoxy Feb 25, 07:58 5
- Yes, it doesn't show you made/saved any picks. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 25, 08:08 1
  - OK that makes sense. I know I would have at least picked DDL for Best Actor - amoxy Feb 25, 08:13
- Even Jenbro beat you?! Unpossible -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 08:02 1
  - right? what's up with that Amoxy? -- nm - JenBro Feb 25, 08:27

The Daily Mail presents its Worst Dressed list from last night. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 25, 07:58 2
- Mark Ruffalo's wife's wins worst dressed. everyone else was okay. Brandi G needs to stop already. and HBC was positively demure compared to past dress -- nm - Epiphany Feb 25, 08:06 1
  - Ruffalo's wife was one of the few edgy ones, and I appreciate that. Brandi's looks cheap and tacky (and it's her own line). I LOVE Helena's dress. - loosilu Feb 25, 08:07
Oh, f you, Oscars. You know what my earworm is today? - prayformojo Feb 25, 07:55 14
- you should sing Sky Mall to yourself, like I am. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:15
- Are you ear syncing it? -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 07:56 9
  - I wouldn't dare, seeing as how it's from the most important movie of 2012, and all -- nm - prayformojo Feb 25, 07:58 8
    - i swear this is my biggest complaint - why so much Chicago? and no Dreamgirls. - Andie Feb 25, 08:13 7
      - apparently the Oscar producers also produced Chicago? it was weird. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 08:20
      - should I see dreamgirls? -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 08:14 4
        
        No. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 08:25
        
        i was kind of bored, really. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:19 1
        
        (oh, clarifying my first statement.) - Andie Feb 25, 08:19
        
        off the top of my head I'd say yes for... Eddie Murphy. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:16
      - (and, i love Chicago, i own the cd from broadway - but, it didn't belong in the 2012 oscar broadcast.) -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:13
- ~we saw your boobs~ -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 07:55 2
  - I expect Winslett got a good laugh out of that -- nm - zork Feb 25, 08:04 1
    - she married a man named Nick RockNRoll. she must have a sense of humour. -- nm - Diva Feb 25, 08:05

Thanks, ST for the ideas. We'll be meeting with a social worker after my dad's surgery to discuss care options. - Inigo Feb 25, 07:45
What was the final run time of the Oscars last night and who sat through the entire thing? - colin Feb 25, 07:45 17
- I literally went to sleep when the musical number came on. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 25, 08:12
- It felt like forever. I turned it off during the credits/loser song because it bored me. -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 08:03 1
  - was funny to see them completely screw up one of the verses though - znufrii Feb 25, 08:05
- I had it on but was working on other things and missed a lot. -- nm - Meg Feb 25, 08:02
- I never check (Why would you do that? It's long.) and I always watch the whole thing every year. I guess it's easier for people on the West coast. -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 07:58
- It was my plan but I fell asleep before the last 3 awards -- nm - J Feb 25, 07:49
- Always watch the whole thing -- nm - Jovian Feb 25, 07:47
- I usually watch the whole thing (with parts on FF) -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 07:47
- I watched until 9:00 central, went to DVR'd Walking Dead, then Talking Dead, and turned it back on in time for Best Picture. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 07:47 6
  - I played Halo and finished the two weeklies with a few hours to spare (75 auto kills, 40 melee) - oblique Feb 25, 07:53 5
    - I am still riding a high from that game where you I and Crash beat David and Truman. - groiny Feb 25, 08:00 4
      - you guys played great that game. - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:01 3
        
        well, they all rode my coattails that game anyway. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 08:01 2
        
        i was going to go back and watch that video just to see if i was really confused or what. - tRuMaN Feb 25, 08:04 1
        
        I could not tell, I just kept ending up with good power weapons. - groiny Feb 25, 08:06
- Around 3:35 ended just after midnight eastern. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 07:46
- i always watch the whole thing. every year since i was a kid with my mom. - Andie Feb 25, 07:46
I read that there was a segment with all Bond actors together last night? - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:44 8
- No, it was rumored, but apparently Connery's a dick and Brosnan had better things to not do. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 07:45 7
  - Connery was banging Alex Trebek's mother last night. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 07:48 1
    - heh. Norm was telling a story on the last SNL special of how the real Burt Reynolds was supposed to show up during Celebrity Jeopardy - Beaker Feb 25, 07:53
  - Thanks. I must have misread the article. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:46
  - I've heard the same about Connery. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 07:46
  - is Connery unwell? i think maybe. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 07:45 2
    - Wouldn't surprise me given he's like 85... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 07:47 1
      - pictures of him in the last few years really show it. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 07:48
Britney has brown hair. I think it looks fantastic. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 25, 07:44 1
- thats amazing -- nm - Capstern Feb 25, 07:57
Opening number with Steve Martin, Amy, Tina, Seth, and Alec Baldwin. Then, have them each intro a few things during the show. - Andie Feb 25, 07:43 1
- I loved Steve Martin as host. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 07:44
here's this for info on past hosts... -- (link) - amanda Feb 25, 07:42 9
- I'd completely forgotten Jon Stewart, which is unexpected. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 07:43 8
  - I had forgotten ellen. how?? -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 07:44 7
    - some female hosts I'd enjoy: Emma Stone, Maya Rudolph, Jane Lynch -- nm - Max Feb 25, 07:52 4
      - Is there a requirement that the host has appeared in a movie? -- nm - mara Feb 25, 08:17 1
        
        I have none, I was just pulling names from SNL hosts. I think that's a good measure since it's live with a solo monologue and dancing/singing/jokes -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:18
      - maybe wiig. (I think I love her more than most though.) -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 07:55 1
        
        I love her, but when I think of her I think of subtle humor rather than Maya Rudolph's big and brassy approach. But Fey is subtle too, and she's grea -- nm - Max Feb 25, 08:17
    - I remember her getting Steven Spielberg to take a picture of her with Clint Eastwood. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 07:46
    - me too. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 07:45
I'm available! -- nm - Ricky Gervais Feb 25, 07:41 21
- No. Just no. - TWuG Feb 25, 07:44 15
  - If I hear any more attempts at funny banter between presenters, only to see a winner cut off, I'm gonna scream. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 08:17
  - your last line is good. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:45 13
    - most of the speeches suck as$ though. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 07:48 12
      - Don't you think that if the speeches are too good/eloquent/emotional etc, the actor comes off looking like they thought they were going to win? - con_carne Feb 25, 08:10
      - there are a lot of empty headed actors who can't put two thoughts together unless it's written for them, true... - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:53
      - I think a lot of them suck because the winners know they only have 20 seconds to talk. - Inigo Feb 25, 07:52
      - i don't really care if they suck. it's the point of the show, awarding these people for excellence, let them thank the people they need to thank and - Andie Feb 25, 07:50 8
        
        that's boring, a litany of names meaningless to us, and will probably return political causes back if given enough leeway -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 25, 07:53 1
        
        it's their speech, i actually think they should say whatever they like. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 08:00
        
        the Jaws play-off music was a gold bit last night though -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 07:51 5
        
        the first time, sure... - znufrii Feb 25, 07:55
        
        i was amused, but they first time they did it was a little heavy handed. -- nm - Andie Feb 25, 07:52 3
        
        it got old and awkward quickly. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:53 2
        
        they needed to change it up. Like Jaws first, then the Friday the 13th music, etc etc -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 07:54 1
        
        if they decided to play off someone with ironic music this is the way to do it, agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:55
- Of the Insult the Room Guys he's done the best job recently. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 07:42 4
  - he doesn't have the panache to carry off the Oscars, though. -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 07:47 2
    - (Nobody knows what this means) -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 08:04 1
      - I had to look it up. -- nm - Clint Eastwood Feb 25, 08:19
  - Tosh.Oscar -- nm - Max Feb 25, 07:43
~Sky Mall...~ -- nm - Max Feb 25, 07:40
