How you like me now? - David Feb 27, 20:46
1 billion people are cursing those effin kids for the earworm -- nm - zork Feb 27, 20:42 4
- I"ve never liked that song. - loosilu Feb 27, 20:44 2
  - Not liking that song or anything Disney does not make you unAmerican....just with out a soul. - Walt_Disney Feb 27, 20:47 1
    - oh you had to drag in Disney, as if they have a soul. ;) -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:49
- not me -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 27, 20:43
Anne seemed to have a great time hosting. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 20:41 17
- Yeah, she's a dork :) -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 20:44 2
  - makes her even hotter. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 20:44 1
    - Sure - it's just unusual in a starlet -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 20:47
- I liked her as host, James Franco on the other hand, needed to be taken out back and shot 20 minutes into the show. -- nm - Buzz Feb 27, 20:43 7
  - and replace him with Eissenberg. "Welcome to the 83rd Academy Awards." "Whatever." "What a great performance." "I don't watch movies." -- nm - Max Feb 27, 20:47
  - Michael Cera would have been a better host than Franco. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 20:45 1
    - The Rock would have made a better host -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 27, 20:53
  - makes you w -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:44 1
    - oops wonder why they picked him -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:45
  - Yeah. They should have Crystal and Hathaway co-host. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 20:44 1
    - This, or Hathaway and Jackman. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:44
- I thought she was terrific. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:43
- I thought so too ... it was like watching a fan host! -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:42 4
  - I could see her doing it again - amoxy Feb 27, 20:43 3
    - Years from now.....even if her reviews are good, the show's reviews won't bring her back next year (if ever) -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:44
    - with Jackman -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 20:43 1
      - I could see that. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:46
Watch out that Melissa Leo doesn't drop any F-bombs around the kids! -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 20:41
So Avatar lost? WTF! -- nm - Qale Feb 27, 20:40 1
- so what kinda Edy's ice cream were you eating? :D -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:43
Lame. -- nm - lileve Feb 27, 20:40 1
- But the winners all coming out is cool! -- nm - lileve Feb 27, 20:40
So...they're rolling us out with a reminder of an all-time great movie from 70+ years ago? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:40 8
- And they paid to fly 100 kids across the country to do it. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 20:40 7
  - united covered them. -- nm - b! Feb 27, 20:41 6
    - someone's paying for their hotel. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:42 5
      - maybe that was donated, I don't know. I'm not understanding the criticism. theirs is a good story. -- nm - b! Feb 27, 20:46 4
        
        I just don't see the logic of playing to your history when it's so clear your present is lacking - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:48 3
        
        I meant of the kids. that placement seemed odder to me until the winners all came out. the dream is the message. -- nm - b! Feb 27, 20:50
        
        makes sense to me. If the present is lacking, you have to prop it up. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:50 1
        
        You didn't prop it up though....you buried it under the glory of yesteryear. - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:51
Anne's last dress was IMHO the best one tonight - she looked stunning in it - just a beautiful pattern and the beading was fantastic. -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:39 1
- I liked the silvery one, when she had her hair down. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:40
somebody is auditioning for Catwoman with that dress. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 27, 20:39 3
- Do you have to audition if you already got the role? -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 27, 20:41 2
  - Pined! -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 20:42 1
    - heh. -- nm - Max Feb 27, 20:43
James Franco has a hard time remembering what won the award handed out 30 seconds ago. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 20:39
Harvey is back. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 20:38
woo hoo! -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:36
there it is. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:36
That montage was kinda sucky and unnecessary. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 20:35 2
- I thought it was cool. -- nm - Max Feb 27, 20:37
- it was foreshadowing -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 27, 20:36
What did he invoke with Raging Bull? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:32 2
- it got beat by Ordinary People for Best Picture -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:33 1
  - I was about to say, it didn't win...I missed his initial point. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:33
way to put it in perspective there -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:32
well at least my runtime prediction looks to be right on the dot -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:31
The list of noms, takes so long! -- nm - lileve Feb 27, 20:30
I wish there were more surprises at the Oscars. - ty97 Feb 27, 20:30 20
- it's my favorite, but the winners are never about favorites. - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:32 19
  - I've only seen three of the ten, I just like surprises. -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 20:33
  - The King's Speech was my favorite -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:32 17
    - The defense rests. -- nm - nubby Feb 27, 20:34 2
      - *Ding* -- nm - MDH Feb 27, 20:34 1
        
        thanks, Rush Hour dude -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:35
    - Really? You'd buy that and watch it over and over? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:33 13
      - I don't watch any movies over and over. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:41
      - Me too. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 27, 20:39
      - Interestingly, I bet I'll end up watching Black Swan the most. -- nm - Qale Feb 27, 20:37
      - for sure -- nm - J Feb 27, 20:35
      - yes. -- nm - kelly Feb 27, 20:34
      - sure. and True Grit and Toy Story 3 - moles Feb 27, 20:34 7
        
        The Kings Speech would have been a bore without Geoffrey Rush. - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:36 5
        
        It was a bore *with* Rush; he simply offered a great performance in a dull flick. -- nm - David Feb 27, 20:47
        
        only if you find the story of a man overcoming a debilitating handicap boring - moles Feb 27, 20:37 3
        
        This one I did find rather bland. - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:39
        
        It's a masterpiece of paint-by-number filmmaking. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 20:37 1
        
        Yeah....I never got the sense it was a well-rounded picture so much as "here's your lines, do your best." - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:41
        
        Wow. Just wow. Thrown in 127 Hours and you have the last 4 nominees in. -- nm - MDH Feb 27, 20:35
I find it funny he's ummm...stuttering thru this ummm..acceptance speech -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:26 1
- somewhere Hugh Grant is crying. -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 20:27
let the womenfolk rejoice -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 27, 20:25 6
- Judging just by the clips they showed, he was the worst actor by far. -- nm - nubby Feb 27, 20:42
- I see zero appeal. ick. -- nm - amanda "blue looper" jones Feb 27, 20:27 4
  - Me too. -- nm - lileve Feb 27, 20:30
  - did you ever watch P&P? -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:27 2
    - no. it had no hot dudes in it. -- nm - amanda "blue looper" jones Feb 27, 20:28 1
      - that's where you are sadly mistaken. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 20:31
David, change the channel for two minutes now -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:25
Eisenberg seems unaware that he's allowed to enjoy the moment. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:22 12
- I didn't see the film - but was it an oscar worthy performance? -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:31 5
  - he was excellent in it. I think Garfield was better -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 20:38
  - I thought Andrew Garfield would have gotten it over Eisenberg -- nm - amoxy Feb 27, 20:33 1
    - Yes -- nm - Pippy Feb 27, 20:36
  - He was my favorite of the nominees. He's personified Zuckerberg. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:33
  - I dunno...but if you get nominated...enjoy the moment. Hell, you're a 20-something kid; who the hell knows if you'll ever be back... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 20:32
- I don't get the impression that he enjoys anything. -- nm - Max Feb 27, 20:28 1
  - He's the Jay Cutler of acting. - nubby Feb 27, 20:30
- His look was very much, "Gee, I've never heard THAT one before." -- nm - David Feb 27, 20:24
- he thinks he needs to stay in character -- nm - dogbert Feb 27, 20:23
- yeah totally. -- nm - amanda "blue looper" jones Feb 27, 20:23 1

Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo; so long ago when there was nothing but our love. No politics, no plotting, no war. -- nm - padme Feb 27, 20:19
I'm pretty sure Strongbad is going to win the Pick Em, unless there - JaxSean Feb 27, 20:18 2
- upset in what way? -- nm - moles Feb 27, 20:19 1

- Or, they were alternating all along. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 20:12
wow - if Anne's lucky she gets to keep her dresses tonight. That blue number is a great color! -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:11
No Corey Haim in montage is kinda BS -- nm - Jovian Feb 27, 20:11 2
- died 3 days after the last Oscar show. -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 20:11 1
  - So my statement still stands, right -- nm - Jovian Feb 27, 20:15
HEY - CY - I asked earlier - you didn't drive anyone tonight? -- nm - JenBro Feb 27, 20:09 5
