    - I thought that was hilarious. - znufrii Feb 28, 18:24
- I am letting that slide, for now. Otherwise it is strong and not dragging crap out. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 18:17

All we need now is a cameo from Bette Midler "who wants to kiss my white ass" -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 18:06
The theme is being laid on a bit too hard too fast. And no one should have thought that Stacy dash thing would work -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 18:05 9
- Was that really Stacey Dash? -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 18:08 2
  - Yep -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 18:09 1
    - Even weirder. -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 18:13

???????????? -- nm - Bacon Feb 28, 18:04
This might be the most self-loathing Oscars ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 18:04 20
- It's making them seem even more racist by mocking the issue. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 18:07 19
  - Uh, what? -- nm - JD Feb 28, 18:08 18
    - It's upsetting a lot of people, boycotts happening, so they write jokes. It's not addressing it in a constructive way, just mentioning it. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 18:10 17
      - I think humor and parody is a great tool to achieve change. That said, sometimes less is more. Opening monolog nice. More is watering it down. - Bacon Feb 28, 18:14
      - I saw it as satire and think it was intended to bring attention in a constructive way -- nm - JD Feb 28, 18:13 13
        
        How's it constructive? What does it achieve other than try to diffuse the tension? - colin Feb 28, 18:18 12
        
        cultural changes happen incrementally. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 18:32

        "We're not racist! See, we make great jokes about black issues" -- nm - colin Feb 28, 18:23 1
        
        I'm pretty sure the point was that is indeed a disparity is opportunity -- nm - JD Feb 28, 18:26
        
        The oscars can't say how it will be changed. They aren't in charge of casting or crewing. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 18:20 7
        
        The Oscars represents the industry. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 18:21 6
        
        ...well..I'd say they represent the Academy. Hence often the disconnect between grosses and the films getting nominations -- nm - JD Feb 28, 18:24
        
        in a way. They don't control it. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 18:23 4
        
        I still think it's tacky to joke about something like thay. Like making jokes about rampant sexism in the industry as well. -- nm* - colin Feb 28, 18:25 3
        
        I think you're missing the anger delivered in the comedy. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 18:30 2
        
        I can't miss what ain't there. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 18:33

Clueless actress! -- nm - con_carne Feb 28, 18:01
That was weird. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 18:01 1

Guys the whole point of the thank you scroll bar is so you don't bore us with a laundry list -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 17:49
Tha fuck? They get a "thanks" crawl?? Lame. They just won an Oscar, let them talk. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 17:49 11
- The goal is not to have just a list of spoken names. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 17:50 10
  - The trick is not to bore the Billion people for the 20 that get excited hearing their name mentioned live - Bacon Feb 28, 17:52 5
    - Those award show isn't for the TV audience, it's an industry event. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 17:52 4
      - It wouldn't be televised if that were the only reason. It is a giant marketing move. Always was. - Andie Feb 28, 17:59
      - This is the 2nd biggest show of the year behind the Super Bowl. It's for the people watching. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 17:55 1
        
        Kohls and Coca COLA agree with Will -- nm - Bacon Feb 28, 17:56
      - You are funny -- nm - Bacon Feb 28, 17:53
  - Meh. It's a huge moment, why does it matter. We have to hear their lame skits in front of every award, I don't see why a list of names is so bad. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 17:51 3
    - I'd rather hear something about the project than an xmas card list -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 17:56
    - Because people got overlooked and who wants 30 lists of names? - Will Hunting Feb 28, 17:53 1
      - It honestly would not make this whole thing any less boring. -- nm - colin Feb 28, 17:54
So much for the scrolling names experiment, hit the Jaws music -- nm - Bacon Feb 28, 17:48

- Can you smell what.....oh the other Rock -- nm - Bacon Feb 28, 17:28
This new Angie Tribeca show has ingredients I would like, but the previews are doing nothing to convince me to watch it. - Beryllium Feb 28, 17:24 1
- heh, same for us. I always go for a good "deeper" gag -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 17:25
Crowe and Gosling seem to have great chemistry together. can't wait for the flick -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 17:21 9

  - did you watch the trailer? - sweet baboo Feb 28, 17:25 3
    - I had no idea...just that interview was awful and Crowe is so obnoxious. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 17:26 2
      - I just pictured him drunk but pretending to be sober and it worked great -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 17:29
      - Painful....movie guys tend not to do improv well...or at all -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 17:28
