The 81st Annual Academy Awards

OK, Ben Stiller was really funny. But it seems that this show is just dragging.

I do like how they’re giving much more attention to the categories that aren’t just actors & actresses.

He was mocking something that maybe 2 million people saw tops? WTF?

I found it simply annoying so I guess he succeeded.

Jessica Biel looks like she woke up an hour ago, pulled the sheet around her, and went to the Oscars. Bleh.

My god. Jessica Biel is just stunning.

Biel is usually astoundingly hot, but that dress was FTL. Having hair, skin and dress all the same colour made her look really, really weird.

Heh. Good simu-post

Heya yoj :slight_smile:
Heath’s up next…

I was annoyed with Stiller on behalf of the cinematography nominees. Hamming it up while talking about the award is one thing, but once they start reading the list of nominees, he should have backed off and given them the spotlight.

Even better than when she did Flashdance.

I’m pretty drunk. I reckon I’ll be a big heap of crying man-meat when the do the dead list. Paul Newman … :frowning:

Stoner humor on the Oscars? Damn, it really is a new era.

ETA: I loved Franco’s wistful look at his own smooch with Sean Penn. Aww.

Noooo Paul, dayum, now I am tearing up. I r fancy young Paul.

This seems to be Goldie Hawn’s MO. I rarely see her in anything with a bold color.

I hope you were sensible like me and took a holiday tomorrow Iteki.

Oooh, yeah, she does the unitone thing too. Btw, re. Flashdance above? Beals today is FTW, never mind then. Smokebreak. Thank goodness for the adfilledness.

Totally agree. I stopped watching the Oscars after that thing couple years ago when they’d bring the nominees of anything that wasn’t an acting award on stage in advance, to cut down on time. I’m only watching to see some Iron Man love, and I’m happy to see that visual effects should get the same treatment as acting this year.

Ben Stiller made me laugh, so there’s one surprise for the evening.

My love for Hugh Jackman knows no bounds. This musical number rules.

Oh God, not f’n Beyonce! Can’t we ever get away from her ass?
