85th Academy Awards viewing thread

He was so moved that he managed to babble and wax poetic at the same time.

Halle Berry to represent Bond girls? Not Denise Richards? Oh, poor Dr. Christmas Jones …

So, do you win an award if you can name all the movies just from the Bond Girls shots?

Oh shoot, I missed the Anna Karenina win. I’m happy to hear it. I loved the staging and costumes so, good!

Shirley Bassey.

Shirley Bassey is white?

I thought that all the Bond actors were going to come out when they came back from the montage.

Shirley Bassey looks and sounds awesome. The gold dress is maybe a little on the nose, but eh, she’s a legend, so she gets a pass.

Shirley Bassey makes up for that, though! “Gold-finggerrrrr!”

Her father was Nigerian, her mother English. She was born in Wales!

Shirley Bassey!!!

Yeah. I agree guys. Shirley Bassey put on a good show.

I heard that Pierce Brosnan said no.

Goldfinger song… boring as hell. Seth even worse.

Agreed!

You might wanna adjust the color on your television.

So I’m flipping between this and reruns of cartoons on Fox, as I didn’t even watch most of the films nominated, but I *really *want Quvenzhane Wallis wins just so all the haters can suck it.

OK, loved Shirley Bassey belting out the “Goldfinger” theme.

Wish they’d highlighted more than just a couple of the themes.

Well, half of her is.

Could’ve been worse.

He could have been there…and SANG.

:smiley:

76 years old and she hit that high C!

Just wait for *Mamma Mia’*s 50th anniversary. He’ll be there wailing away on “SOS.”

I also can’t believe Connery would have agreed to show and Brosnan was the holdout, but I dunno.
