ST POll: Biggest snub of the night? - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:11 2
- I think the documentaries and short films always get snubbed. I wish an hour were added to the broadcast so they'd get the attention they deserve. - Trish Feb 23, 05:16 1
  - I personally think Waltz with Bashir is kinda overrated... - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:17

  - So you want the "race to the podium and speak 40 seconds then bring on the next winner" kind of show? - Trish Feb 23, 05:01 4
    - I liked the presentation in the actors' categories... - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:06 3
      - Heh, your highlight was probably one of the lamest parts of the show for me. - Trish Feb 23, 05:12 2
        
        I especially groaned with the REALLY blatant appeal to get a bigger audience... - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:18
        
        Rogen and Franco were good, I agree. - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:16
- That's not hardly fair, we get to see your BAFTAs. We should do some sort of exchange program. - Trish Feb 23, 04:51 4
  - It's been years since the Oscars has been on terrestial tv so I'm used to it. I refuse to give any money to Rupert Murdoch to watch it on Sky Premier - LMS Feb 23, 05:03 3
    - To tell you the truth, my former crush on Hugh Jackman refired during his opening song and dance number. - Trish Feb 23, 05:09 2

        No I haven't! But I'm certainly going to rent it now. - Trish Feb 23, 05:14
- The opening was bad imo, and I didn't like the musical or the way the acting awards were presented. But much of the other stuff was real good. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 23, 04:44 1
  - See I loved the beginning and thought Hugh was fantastic. - Trish Feb 23, 05:00

    - I think he means ST. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 05:07 1
      - Yeah, but that's only cause I wasn't around this year to set you all straight. - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:10
    - Fat and waste of what? I loved it. Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass what "some of the snarkiest bloggers in New York" have to say. - Trish Feb 23, 05:04 5
      - */ Take a look and see it glisten, Barnaby! / Listen, Barnaby! /* -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 05:15
      - Jackman wasn't a good host... his material was pretty weak compared to previous hosts (like Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, etc) - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:07 3
        
        Man I think you're painting with a really broad brush here. What would you have them do to "man it up"? - Trish Feb 23, 05:20
        
        You mean a bunch of people who make a living criticizing things didn't like something?! - nubby Feb 23, 05:14 1
        
        ha ha! -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 05:15
  - I didn't see whole thing yet but my wife and I thought it was well done and that Hugh busted his a$$ as host. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 23, 04:46

  - no he wasn't, he missed the cutoff date. I remember us all talking about him being absent from it -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 22, 22:03 9
    - No, we talked about Heath being included when someone else who died days before him (Brad Renfro, iirc) not being included. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 04:03 1
      - (wow, bad grammar. "(Brad Renfro, iirc) was not included".) -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 04:09
