Woody Allen? Where’s the Mia Farrow reaction shot? 😉 ---

Thank god, the one Oscar winner I did NOT want to see was Kristen Wiig. I hated that damn movie, and all she did was re-enact her terrible SNL characters. ---

Really? They asked Adam Sandler to speak about what makes a movie great. REALLY?? That’s like asking the Pope about great sex. ---

Milla! Love her so much, even though I haven’t seen most of her movies. I love her music and her as a person. Nice that they’re actually showing a bit of what the SciTech awards are about. ---

Maybe that’ll make people stop refering to art direction, visual effects and documentary shorts as “technical awards which don’t count and just make the show longer” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/84th-academy-awards-2012-ongoing-discussion-thread/613979.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/84th-academy-awards-2012-ongoing-discussion-thread/613979.md?page=9)
