I can't believe they'd even let Ben Kingsley up on that stage, considering Love Guru and War Inc. seem to cancel out Ghandi. :) -- nm - kelly Feb 22, 20:38 3

    - usually, i think that... - b! Feb 22, 20:33
- Come on, she's 70+ plus. Give her a break. -- nm - lileve Feb 22, 20:30 2
  - I think he was talking about Kidman. -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 20:32
  - 74. -- nm - loosilu Feb 22, 20:31
I don't like this way of presenting -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 22, 20:28 13
- it's making me nearly tear-up each time. a lot of them are heartfelt congratulations. I like it. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 22, 20:31 3
  - This is what I like about it, too. There seems to be a good amount of sincerity. Of course, they are actresses. -- nm - mara Feb 22, 20:31 2

  - I do too. I like it a lot better than the clips. Seems more conversational. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 22, 20:31 2
    - It's producing pairings that I don't think would ever happen. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 20:32 1
      - Truly. Which makes it even better. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 22, 20:32

        Me too -- nm - Redmond Feb 22, 20:34
  - me, too. - b! Feb 22, 20:31
That's quite the range for introducing best actress nominees. - ReluctantCynic Feb 22, 20:27 1
- That's what I thought of the best actor actors too. -- nm - mara Feb 22, 20:28
The past Actress winners look a hell of a lot more elegant than the Supporting Actresses. -- nm - kelly Feb 22, 20:27 6

Thanks, Sid! -- nm - JaxSean Feb 22, 20:18
That was really really well done. -- nm - Buzz Feb 22, 20:17 3
- I hated that they changed what the easier programming of the show should have been. Hated the song being sung. Hated the camera movement. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 22, 20:18 2
  - That was done very very badly. -- nm - Redmond Feb 22, 20:20
  - But everytime that happens, I get up and grab a bite to eat. -- nm - Buzz Feb 22, 20:20
Paul Newman = Awesome!!! -- nm - Redmond Feb 22, 20:17
Too much camera movement!! Not watching on HD and they kept cutting off the names. -- nm - Redmond Feb 22, 20:16 4
- The constantly moving camera was annoying the shit out of me. Plus, we saw Queen start the song (she was great) and heard her throughout, why did we - Trish Feb 22, 20:18 1
  - 100% agree. That should have been realized during the rehearsal. -- nm - Redmond Feb 22, 20:19

- no problems in HD -- nm - peglegpete Feb 22, 20:17
Oh, that last part of the montage just made me tear up a little. -- nm - kelly Feb 22, 20:16 1

So up to this point, has there (spoils) - JaxSean Feb 22, 20:13

- yeah, a lot of them are like that. stupid. -- nm - mafic Feb 22, 20:13
- indeed. but this is a really nice way to do it. -- nm - b! Feb 22, 20:13 1
  - yeah, I like the song, but really don't need to see the singer. -- nm - mafic Feb 22, 20:13
wow - is this ever nice to have her singing to the montage -- nm - JenBro Feb 22, 20:12 2
- It is, but I wished they'd just leave one camera angle and be done with it. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 20:13
- they missed the first few, though. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 22, 20:12
My friend just pointed out that this year's batch of acting nominees haven't even had clips shown. So, I guess that's a change, too. - kelly Feb 22, 20:11 5
- if you're going to miss a point, miss big! ;p -- nm - b! Feb 22, 20:14 2
  - It's true, though! It's so different! A lot of this ceremony is so different from previous years. - kelly Feb 22, 20:18 1
    - oh yah. i agree about that. i read they brought a whole new bunch in, and it's working well. (except the directing issues.) -- nm - b! Feb 22, 20:19
- And they're being presented by previous winners in the same category. - Tim Feb 22, 20:12
- Or best picture nominees. -- nm - nubby Feb 22, 20:11
mara, here it is! -- nm - lileve Feb 22, 20:11
