So - were the Oscars any good last night? If Wolverine was funny Ricky Gervais is claiming credit for his jokes.

Posted by LMS (aka RufusS) Feb 23 '09, 04:28

It's only broadcast on a premium satellite channel in the UK so no-one watches it (being at 3am doesn't help either).

Don't get to see a highlights programme either!

Jackman was really good. -- nm - AJRimmer Feb 23, 05:03 2
- Stupid enter. Overall unfortunatly a B- - AJRimmer Feb 23, 05:06 1
  - Right.. In Memoriam - secretslacker Feb 23, 05:09
I didn't think Jackman was a good host, thought the musical number was a waste of time... - secretslacker Feb 23, 04:51 5
- 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
    - I trust you've seen this then? -- (link) - LMS Feb 23, 05:12 1
      - 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 the consensus is that it's one of the best in recent memory. -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 04:37 10
- The consensus among WHOM? - secretslacker Feb 23, 04:53 8
  - 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
