While there weren't many bits that were particularly funny, there were very few painfully unfunny moments. Which was nice. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:20 9
- when Aniston was presenting i was all 'are they going to cut to Brad? Are they?' - Andie Feb 23, 07:20 6
  - So uncomfortable. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:22 3
    - all the actor nominees are first or second row, so, yeah, right there. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 07:24 2
      - ugh. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:26
      - Meanwhile, their parents are thrown all the way at the back... - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:25
  - which reminds me, can we find out how much the earrings are worth? -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:21
  - err- wrong thread, obvie. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 07:21
- Winslet telling Streep to suck it up was great. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:20 1
  - Yeah, but STreep gave her an ass-whooping out in the back alley after the show. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:24
AICN Comic awards for 2008 (watch for spoils for some ongoing titles) -- (link) - Beaker Feb 23, 07:19
On a scale of 1 - 10 how awkward was the Jen Aniston presents as the dual-nominated Brangelina looks on from the front row. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:19 35
- It's been years... you don't think she's moved on by now? -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:22 12
  - i'm sure she has, but, i think for any human being, that first face to face with your ex-husband and the woman he left you for is going to twinge a - Andie Feb 23, 07:26 3
    - And doing so in front of an audience of a billion people = awkward. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:27
    - beat me to it, I was just about to post this. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 07:27
    - especially when they're the king and queen of that event. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:26
  - she moved on to John Mayer? poor girl. - The Media is one who has not moved on. - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:24
  - I think if she had, she wouldn't do interviews about it. -- nm - mafic Feb 23, 07:23 6
    - As someone said: They can publicly exist without her, but she's still nothing without them. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:25
    - she doesn't do interviews about it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:24 4
      - Exactly... people still ASK her about it, but she's doing interviews to promote some bad movie or another. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:24 3
        
        in which case my response would be along the lines of "it was a long time ago, and it doesn't matter." - mafic Feb 23, 07:26 1
        
        she says that a lot a lot a lot, but they blow up her tiniest response into something else. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 07:27
        
        they take whatever two words they can get out of her and make it a headline. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:25
- I was shocked it took them that long to cut to Angelina. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:22
- mucho awkward -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:21
- Related note: I saw several shots of John Mayer looking bored and assy. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:21 1
  - so, par for the course. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:22
- I'm not sure...I was waiting to see how she was going to upstage them at the Oscars, like all the gossip rags were reporting. - Jim Feb 23, 07:20 14
  - How was she supposed to be going to 'upstage' them? -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:21 12
    - Flashing the crowd would have done the trick. And given Jax a heart attack -- nm - Redmond Feb 23, 07:22
    - by getting more TV time? She seemed out of place there in general. she's a TV star and a minor movie star. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:22
    - That was the secret, apparently. But for a while, the TMZ's of the world were talking about how Jen had a plan for the Oscars.... - Jim Feb 23, 07:22 9
      - ugh. Maybe she was going to throw down in the ladies' bathroom at the Governor's Ball. - Diva Feb 23, 07:23 1
        
        the guy who got camera phone footage of that would be a gazillionaire. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:24
      - Allegedly, John Mayer was mouthing off about it. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:23 6
        
        That stuff seems to have become sort of his schitck. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:24
        
        have you ever noticed that any woman he's photographed with looks unhappy? -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:23 3
        
        Wouldn't you be when you went from any other man to John Mayer? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:25
        
        Yes - cause they are. heh. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:25 1
        
        seriously, I never saw Jessica look more miserable. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:25
        
        he's a world class ass. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:23
  - I thought Jen looked reall uncomfortable. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:21
- 1. I didn't even notice - Guigue Feb 23, 07:20
- super. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:19
- . = ? -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:19
I think Diva wins in the Red Carpet Survival Contest... - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:14 1
- Either way...if I knew I was going to be on the red carpet...the absolute LEAST I would do is have a pretty decent knowledge of the 20 acting nominees - Jim Feb 23, 07:16
lyc: Hi folks...I'm back -- nm - budice Feb 23, 07:12 9
- lyc: Details over the last two weeks.... - budice Feb 23, 07:27

- Hey there - welcome back. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:15
- We missed you - hope you are doing okay -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:15
- Hey. - kelly Feb 23, 07:14

- *hugs* -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 07:12 1
  - Got the card, thank you for it. -- nm - budice Feb 23, 07:13
the good thing about australian tv being so terrible is that I've largely stopped watching (except lost). -- nm - mafic Feb 23, 07:09
For those who care: worldofwatches.com just had a price drop this morning. I saved another $20 on the watch I wanted. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:09
I normally don't like to comment on what people wear at the awards ceremonies but...Tina Fey was a knockout. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:08 16
- can I say here? not sure where else to put it - why was Phillip Seymour Hoffman wearing a black skull cap thing? ugly as sin - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:23 4
  - I'd heard from a reliable source that he has some crazy hair going on for his current role and he was covering it up. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:26
  - I think he actually looked worse than Rourke. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:24 2
    - I agree - he did. Those glasses helped Rourke - like pearls against a burlap dress -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:26
    - I didn't get the watch cap thing either, but I thought Rourke was rockin' it. - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:26
- [deleted]
- Overrated? -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:08 9
  - does your wife know you like other men? -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:10 7
    - Actually, my wife thinks she's overrated as well. And when I say overrated, I mean in looks AND comedy. nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:10 6
      - I agree with Jim. - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:18 4
        
        It was like one of those teen movies where the quirky girl gets the braces off and removes the glasses. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:22 3
        
        Except in her case, she's just "ok" after the makeover. nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:24 2
        
        you wear leather chaps and a ball gag to bed. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:25 1
        
        And amazingly enough...even I look better than Tina Fey. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:26
      - hmm ... just as I thought. Sensory aphasia. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 07:13
  - *high five* -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:09
I enjoyed most of the entire show; wished the wire-walker guy wasn't such an attention whore, enjoyed Jackman....highlight was Hathaway's line about - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:07 6
- If they hadn't had that second musical number, I would have considered this one of the best hosting jobs I've seen. nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:10 5
  - Yeah, they used his talents well....the 2nd dance was typical mediocre Oscar crap so I'll give him a pass on that. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:12 4
    - I agree on the ad libs...but, dude's not a comedian. Crystal and Stewart have made a pretty decent living coming up with - Jim Feb 23, 07:13 3
      - Yeah, personally, I'd just make Billy host for life cuz he can do it all. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:16 2
        
        I think the Academy would have been happy to do that. Didn't Crystal turn them down? nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:19 1
        
        He has turned them down in the past. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:20

- Penn has this look like, "I'm so nailing both these broads after the show!" -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:08
I thought that Will Smith was a superb presenter. Danial Craig/SJP on the other hand ... ouch ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 07:06 1
- Daniel Craig, in his stiffest role yet. -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 07:07
Oh, I thought one of the funniest moments... - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:05 1
- I think it was Michael Douglas -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 07:07
Speaking of Robin Wright Penn, I thought she looked great. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 06:58 9
- I must be the only one who would be hard pressed to find a 63 year old that looks better than Goldie. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:01 7
  - Yeah, she was stunning. Sophia Loren, for 80+....you don't need to think hard as to why she was so stunning for so long. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:13 3
    - she's 74. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:13 2
      - I thought she was 75 around the turn of the centruy. Oh well, point still stands. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:17 1
        
        nope, she's just a month younger than my mom. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:19
  - [deleted]
  - She looks great for a 63 year old and crappy for a 20 year old, which is what she tries to dress like. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:06 1
    - I don't know...I guess I just wasn't that bothered by her last night. nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:07
- hell yes. Goldie would be better off if she updated her look. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 06:58
