85th Academy Awards viewing thread

William Shatner?

Everything is better when it’s Shatnerized.

Shatner!

I turned down the sound on the opening monologue after about 30 seconds. This is not the Globes. McFarlane isn’t supposed to be Ricky Gervais. Fuck him and his insulting the actors and the movies. I’m looking out of the corner of my eye to see when he goes away and the real awards begin.

Shatner came in and set him straight. It’s all better now.

That “We Saw Your Boobs” song was pretty funny, I have to admit. I’m surprised they were able to broadcast that on public TV.

Some of the actresses mentioned didn’t look too happy.

Lose the spats.

You’re taking this way too fucking seriously. “I Saw Your Boobs” was pretty funny.

oh, get a sense of humor, Equipoise.

I got the idea that the reactions were purposely (and funnily) prerecorded.

I think that was part of the joke. That he pissed off the actresses, and that was captured in the ‘video footage’ Shatner brought back.

Okay, the sock puppet Flight was pretty funny. Especially the dryer shot.

Ah, I missed that part when I was visiting the resting area.

So, this is about three-quarters of the way to an average Tony?

This bit was funny for a few minutes, but it’s going way too long.

Star Trek AND a ton of song and dance.

My kind of Oscar show!

:smiley:

I hate opening monologues in general anyway. They’re never funny to me, just embarrassing and cringe-worthy.

I still have the sound down waiting for the real awards to start. Those headlines are amusing “McFarlane worst host ever”

You all rested now? :smiley:

Agreed with you there. I won’t complain if Skyfall or Suddenly win, but still, Lonely Mountain should have gotten its due.
