The 81st Annual Academy Awards

Hode on, I got confused as to who was singing what. I def want Jai Ho to win.

Man, that guy wouldn’t even make it to Hollywood!

man, John Legend is gorgeous

That divorce joke was mighty awkward, though.

Meant to say this earlier, but would it kill Will Smith to ease off on the charm just a little bit? It’s embarrassing the rest of us.

They’ve really got a “world music” thing going on with the Best Song nominees, and I like it a lot. All three of these are good songs and there’s no ballady drivel. Or girls dancing around burning cars.

I just had to say, I thought the exact same thing!

John Legend is wonderful, imagine the race of beautiful musicians he and Alicia Keyes could create. :cool:

Yes! “Jai Ho”! I loved that song! So glad Slumdog took the music awards. Right after I saw that film I went right out and bought the soundtrack.

And of course in the one year where I actually liked all the song nominees, they choose to shorten them in a stupid montage.

Nitpick: he was speaking in Tamil, not Arabic.

Jai Ho!

North or South?
What’s the deal with Peter Gabriel not singing his own song? Is there bad blood between him and Oscar?

And to think there was a stage where Slumdog looked like it was going straight to DVD. The little movie that could.

I wonder if Bill Maher will have a little talk to him about his “silly god”…

Yes! Like Erykah Badu and Andre (and damn her for not procreating with Common) or Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley. All of those kids are unfairly blessed with genius genes.

Peter refused to shorten his song to the required length.

This years awards… so boring… will to give a damn being sapped… please God, no more musical numbers. Stop stroking yourself off Hollywood and entertain me again… Please!

Now that’s a surprise. I thought it’d be “Waltz With Bashir.”

That’s a surprise. I though Bashir was supposed to be a lock.

Liam is soooooo pretty. Want.

Have they done the In Memoriam montage yet? I’d love to see it on YouTube.

Not yet.
