Does anyone know how the displays on the floor work? Are they simply rear projections?
(BTW, so far it looks like a sweep for The Aviator.)
And that makes 12 million thank-yous for Martin Scorsese. He is on pace to pass the nation of New Zealand…
I think Chris Rock is funny. But does he have to SHOUT as if it makes it MORE FUNNY if you SHOUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE!!

Oh and what about Beyonce singing all operatic-like in French? She didn’t stink but she wasn’t great either.
Holy stupid hair! Is Adam Duritz (of Counting Crows) trying to be Sideshow Bob?
How nice to see that Sideshow Bob has a new career as a pop singer!
Simulpost! My first one!
I was in here when they were playing (what a boring song… Counting Crows can do better than that), but I just saw it. Jeez. Was that a fucking pineapple on his head?
So does anyone know what the hell was up with the Chris Rock and Adam Sandler thing? It seemed totally fake, but it was so corny that it also seemed like it had to be planned.
Anyone else have thoughts?
It was a bit.
“Museum of sexiness?” come on.
It was painful. And it was scripted- the presenters don’t talk to each other like that. I think I now actually hate Adam Sandler even more.
You know, I’m all about Scorsese getting some respect, but I’m already tired of the Aviator’s awards.
I haven’t seen the winning documentary, but I heartily recommend the Weeping Camel (one of the other nominees) for fans of documentary (or of camels). I was fearful that Fast Food Nation would win, based on its box office success. Maybe it’s not fair, but I like how in most years, the winning documentary is usually gets a new audience after the show. Fast Food Nation doesn’t need a new audience.
Someday I should actually look up the strict definition of adapted screenplay, but I personally am unconvinced that Richard Linklater should be nominated in this category for writing a sequel to one of his earlier movies. What is he adapting, his own head?
:smack:
Okay, and I mixed up the pedantic book about fast food with the pedantic movie abot fast food! Supersize Me, is of course what I meant.
Al Pacino is shitfaced!
Even his hair is shitfaced!
LOTR references so far:
Edna Mode mentioning Ngila.
FX guy saying he was glad there wasn’t a 4th LOTR movie
Some music / clips.
I was hoping for a thanking everyone in New Zealand joke. (or maybe Cate methioning LOTR).
Hey! on teh “they always award someone for the wrong movie” premise, I can pretend she really won for being Galadriel.

How can you tell? Whatever he is, he’s been like that for decades. The bed-head is pretty funny, though.
Can we get a Constitutional Amendment to ban Robin Williams from presenting at award shows? Please?
I don’t understand how people can show up to awards shows and present totally hammered like that. I’m embarassed if I drink one too many at a bar with co-workers, when that purpose of going to the bar is to drink. If I appeared drunk in front of the whole, mostly sober world I’d be mortified. That’s just me, though…
“HOO-WAHH!!”
re. the Sidney Lumet tribute, this is sick, but during the whole video segment I had him mentally crossed with Alan J. Pacula, who died so tragically a couple [?] years ago in a freak road accident. Color me surprised when the living recipient showed up!
