It's the 80th Annual Academy Awards® Thread!

Actually, that wasn’t so bad…

Okay, straight guys out there, tell me you wouldn’t do Javier Bardem…

I’d do Jon Stewart first.

ETA: That was a “no,” by the way.

Well, it certainly is good to see Owen.

If it wasn’t for Owen Wilson, I’m not sure I would have known Le Mozart des Pickpockets means “The Mozart of Pickpockets.”

I wonder if Jon Stewart took any French.

Look! Inspirational African-American kiddies!

Actually, they were pretty damn good.

Nice Oscars so far–I liked the Steve Carell/Anne Hathaway zinger about being unable to distinguish the Docs from the Cartoons.

No crazy political ramblings so far. People are sooooo well-behaved nowadays.

All the foreign winners have given the best speeches so far. Charming variety of accents.

OK, the all-bee montage is so horrible I take it all back.

Bee montage. That’s about as bad as a periscope montage.

Seinfeld, finding new ways to suck and annoy. :rolleyes:

Oh well, at least it is over.

I really want to see those animated shorts.

So I guess this whole Oscar thing works sometimes.

I didn’t expect Tilda to win but she certainly was fantastic in that role.

Bah- I wanted the older black woman to win (I suck at names, even of movie stars).
I like Tilda, though.

The 11 year old singer was amazing, but I still don’t like the song that was sung…

Wow-giving the Oscar to her agent–generous!

Tilda Swinton, that’s kind of a surprise. She was good in that movie, but I thought Amy Ryan was better. She totally became that skank in Gone Baby Gone.

And it’s Tilda Swinton at 6/1. And what odd comments about Clooney.

Never thought I’d hear “nipples” on the Oscars.

Batman nipples, no less.

But where do the animated shorts (or the live action for that matter) play?

I’d love to see them–I can’t even see Persepolis around here!

Yeah, 10% is only roughly the head…

I think Tilda Swinton was surprised as well. Surely if she was expecting to win, she would have worn a more attractive gown.

Film festivals usually but you can sometimes find them online legally before the awards are handed out. Atom Films had them all one year as I recall.

Right, and everyone knows that’s what’s customary to give. Head.

OMG, Tilda Swinton stole Winnowill’s gown!
