This is a 180 twist on animal hoarders. -- (link) - Reagen Feb 28, 06:53 [youtube]
This is what I assume is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of James Franco's performance last night. -- (link) - Mop Feb 28, 06:50
I'm gong to blame Franco for anything that was wrong with the Oscars. - ty97 Feb 28, 06:50 12
- [deleted]
- i think he's a great actor, i really do. i just don't think i like *him* much. he bores me. i think Anne came off as a little shrill because she was - Andie Feb 28, 06:54 9
  - Honestly, I don't think she's ready for that kind of gig. I know, everyone loves her and it's easier to blame Franco but - Jim Feb 28, 06:57 8
    - I don't know that she could host it alone, but she had the perfect chops for a co-host gig with someone (anyone) else -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 07:01
    - She doesn't have the gravitas to save something like that....Billy/Martin/Hope were superstars....she's a strong role player - Will Hunting Feb 28, 07:00 3
      - Martin was not a good host. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 28, 07:01 2
        
        Well, he was definitely no Letterman. nm - Jim Feb 28, 07:02
        
        Steve Martin is generally considered one of the funniest guys around - Will Hunting Feb 28, 07:02
    - she would've been great with someone to play off of. Franco was giving her nothing. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 06:58 2
      - I totally enjoyed her bit with Jackman. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 06:59 1
        
        And how far into the show was that? That's what they needed to open the show, something similar. Jackman was head and shoulders above those 2 as a - Jim Feb 28, 07:00
- I never realized how much of a charisma-suck a person can be. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 06:53
so, i won passes the XM Verge Awards and a meet and greet with Tokyo Police Club tomorrow. Um, what do i say to them? - Andie Feb 28, 06:44 5
- To be honest I would ask for their opinion on how hard touring has become over the past few years with album sales declining. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 06:59 1
  - good question. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 07:01
- Do you spend your days in constant fear of Godzilla attacks? -- nm - David Feb 28, 06:59
- Um..."Who are you?" nm - Jim Feb 28, 06:48 1
  - :D -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 06:53
has the death montage hit Youtube yet? -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 06:36 9
- I wonder why they (apparently) didn't allow clapping this year. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 28, 06:57 4
  - I never liked the applause-o-meter. I presumed the live singing was an attempt to quell it -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 07:00 1
    - this was what I thought. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 07:01
  - I wouldn't be shocked if there was clapping, but the sound mix was bad. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:58
  - maybe Celine insisted on it! -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 06:57
- Who'd they forget this year? -- nm - Mop Feb 28, 06:49 3
  - It's purposeful, not forgetful. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 28, 06:50
  - Corey Haim. -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 06:50 1
    - NOO!!! -- nm - Mop Feb 28, 06:57
If there's not going to be an opening musical number (please come back Billy) or at least a monologue...why have a host at all? - Jim Feb 28, 06:32 28
- Ya know, with you being a rookie broadcaster here with the Dodgers, we thought we'd bring in Vin Scully to call the 5th and 6th innings.... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:56 1
  - Exactly. -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 07:00
- no love for the opening montage? I liked it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 06:47 2
  - It wasn't bad...but it's not an original gag and some of it fell flat. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:48 1
    - Yeah, pretty much this. And there's no reason they can't do the montage and then have some kind of monologue or something. -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 06:54
- Yeah the Billy thing was a fail, if was willing to show up surely he would've been willing to host. -- nm - Buzz Feb 28, 06:45 1
  - He probably was willing. Oscar chose to go young in their ongoing attempt to appeal to the youth and masses. - ty97 Feb 28, 06:46
- I do think the Oscars are not getting enough credit for having a tight show. -- nm - David Feb 28, 06:34 20
  - [deleted] 3
    - There's no reason it shouldn't start at 8 eastern instead of 8:30. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 28, 06:57 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah...if you have something important to say or do, better say or do it before Best Picture is announced. - Jim Feb 28, 07:03
  - if that's the result, though, go long. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 06:42 1
    - Touche. -- nm - David Feb 28, 06:58
  - I've never seen a more lifeless show. Almost utterly predictable without any energy. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:40 3
    - yeah, i semi watched about an hour of it and then shut it off....nm - x Feb 28, 06:41
    - I'm available -- nm - Ricky Gervais Feb 28, 06:40 1
      - C'mon Ricky, when you mock Downey Jr, it's bad; when Jude Law does it, it's elementary entertainment. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:41
  - Last night was really tight and I appreciated it. There were none of those filler pieces that make no sense. I liked that. nm - Jim Feb 28, 06:35 9
    - I woulda taken 1 or 2 monologues -- as it was, the closest we got was Crystal and Hope - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:46 6
      - Yeah. And where the hell is Nicholson in the front row? He's been MIA for a couple years now, hasn't he? -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 06:50 5
        
        Yeah, they definietly didn't have any star power...No Jack/Clooney/Pitt/Jolie/Depp even Winslet and Leo. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:57 1
        
        Word. And with so many nominees that, while great actors, aren't household names...you needed that star power and it wasn't there. -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 06:58
        
        I'm willing to take Clooney as a substitute, but I guess he has malaria or something dumb like that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 06:56
        
        he's old hollywood and hasn't been in a big big movie in a while. -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 06:55
        
        yep. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 28, 06:53
    - I think last year wasteh first year I realized that the hosts introduce people who introduce presenters? isn't that kind of inefficient? -- nm - amanda "bus misser" jones Feb 28, 06:43 1
      - This year we had an introduction for a person who did an introduction. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 06:49

- And last year's baddies are even better. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 06:16 9
  - I get the sense that...(spoilers) - Mel Profit Feb 28, 06:26 8
    - you really, really need to rent Season One - you get a better sense of Raylan and Boyd. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 28, 06:34 7
      - you guys are worse than Pusherman. - Mel Profit Feb 28, 06:35 6
        
        $19.99 on amazon.com!! -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 06:43 2
        
        For that price it's probably a no brainer. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 28, 06:46
        
        and if you buy it and watch it, I'll buy it off you for $20 when you are done... -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 06:43
        
        it just makes a little more sense when you know the back story *shrug* - 2nd season is certainly enjoyable without it as well -- nm - Epiphany Feb 28, 06:42 2
        
        I kid. I kid. - Mel Profit Feb 28, 06:45 1

- I think it's a fair question. Unless he specifically asked her to cancel the pick-ups, she might make the wrong call there. - JaxSean Feb 28, 06:01 1
  - Agreed, it sounds like more of a CYA question than anything. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 28, 06:06

- Yeah the DGA kinda sealed it. I don't think it was an award to Hooper but more like a snub to Fincher, he's not worthy of the director's club... yet. -- nm - Buzz Feb 28, 06:36 2
  - I eagerly await the David Fincher make-up award coming soon; and it'll probably screw over Nolan, thus making sure he needs a make-up award that'll - Will Hunting Feb 28, 06:41 1

- As the tide shifted during awards season I was hoping KS and Social Network might split BP and Best Director. - Diva Feb 28, 06:15
- The King's Speech is no doubt a good, solid likeable movie. But in no way the best of the year. It's a shame The Social Network and Fincher didn't - Don Homer Feb 28, 06:08
- Yeah, Director was my biggest "Are you kidding?" award. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 05:57
- Though Hooper won the DGA as well so it wasn't just the rest of the Academy going with the flow. The directors voted for him too. -- nm - Dano Feb 28, 05:56

        sex, drugs, big spending, it's all there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 06:50
        
        manic is right after the "Bang whores and porn stars for 25 years" phase right :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 06:35 1
        
        well, bipolar means he has probably had a lot of these phases. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 06:57
      - I do feel guilty laughing at the antics as he clearly is in serious pain and trouble but...wow. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 28, 05:53 2
        
        ABCNews posted a video this morning. Here he denies being bipolar. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 28, 05:57 1
        
        I'm changing my prediction. Highest rated 20/20 show ever. -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 06:36
    - I'm starting to wonder if it's a manic episode. (which could include drugs) -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 05:49 1
      - It'll turn out he's making a mockumentary, and Ebert will be completely fooled. -- nm - mara Feb 28, 06:09

- Just found a picture of her here. Damn, she looks awful. -- (link) - Mop Feb 27, 22:55 7
  - The red doesn't look real either. My guess it's t hat it's really light brown. - loosilu Feb 28, 05:48 2
    - she might do that thing so many redheads do and oomph up the red. I think she's naturally red, but not as dark as we see her. - amanda "bus misser" jones Feb 28, 06:59 1
      - she insists she's naturally blonde. as I said, I think probably she *was* blonde as a kid but is light brown now. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 07:03
  - spider-man? More like ... goldie hawn. And not *young* goldie. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 23:27 2
