opening monolog over..... costume design goes to Elizabeth: the Golden Age

very good monologue and without seeing any of those movies it was obvious elizabeth would win.

[thepaulo]

generic clips of memorable oscar moments.......

steve carrell and anne hathaway pushing their movie and giving the animated features award...

Ratatouille

[BeerBandit]

Period pieces should not win Best Costume Design. The design already exist. Sweeney Todd should've won for taken a fashion era and tweeking it towards the dark mood of the film.

oh my god I'm gay.

almost too easy, but...mod-quote?

[thepaulo]

Katherine Heigle hyperventilating through the makeup award....

La Vie En Rose

[TheGameHHH]

Katherine Heigle hyperventilating through the makeup award....

La Vie En Rose

when i saw that i started thinking to myself if i ever had to opportunity to speak at the Oscars id probably be shitting myself too

[BeerBandit]

Katherine Heigle hyperventilating through the makeup award....

La Vie En Rose

Nothing hotter than the quivering voice of a frightened woman.

[thepaulo]

She should have had sex before the awards.

[TheGameHHH]

She should have had sex before the awards.

yes, with me

[thepaulo]

Dear God.....
The Rock.....
Dwayne Johnson presenting Visual effects.....
The Golden Compass

[grlNIN]

I'm watching.

Meh.

[Stedman]

one of the golden compass guys looked like what Burt Reynolds should look like if it weren't for the ridiculous face skin

[thepaulo]

so far Jon Stewart ....Meh....
Cate Blanchete..perfection as usual....art direction....
Sweeny Todd......YAAAA

[EliSnow]

Did everyone else seen Gary Busey making a complete ass out of himself on the Red Carpet. Practically molested Jennifer Garner.

[BeerBandit]

Why all of these old clips? I thought the writers were back.

[thepaulo]

Jennifer Hudson.....
supporting actor.....
strong competition....
and the winner is.....
Javier Bardem.....no surprise

[grlNIN]

I wish Javier Bardem would have made out with josh Brolin.

[EliSnow]

Why all of these old clips? I thought the writers were back.

They show montages of Hollywood moments/movies every year. It's meant to celebrate the tradition of the Academy Awards. Given it's the 80th Academy Awards there's even more reason to have such montages.

[thepaulo]

We just saw a tribute to binoculars.....and another to really bad dreams........

A tribute to Unions would be nice

[Chimee]

Oh lawdy lawd, don't give up.

Feets don't fail me now.

Sing alongs at the Oscars are fun.

[thepaulo]

Uhoh.....
Owen Wilson....looks steady....
must be on his meds.....
short film.....
la mozart des pickpockets

[SatCam]

Did everyone else seen Gary Busey making a complete ass out of himself on the Red Carpet. Practically molested Jennifer Garner.

What is this, 1979? 1985? wait, when was this guy ever popular?

[Chimee]

If you have to open with "I don't really speak English" you shouldn't be giving an acceptance speech.

[EliSnow]

What is this, 1979? 1985? wait, when was this guy ever popular?

I remember when his big comeback role was in "Lethal Weapon."

[BeerBandit]

They took our jobs!

[EliSnow]

Wow, Tilda Swinton's a surprise.

She's an interesting looking woman. Don't know what she's wearing though.

[BeerBandit]

Tilda Swinton is the WIÑÑER!

[EliSnow]

Fezzie's going to be spitting nails tomorrow. That's the second Batman & Robin reference I've heard tonight, and Clooney made one of them.

[thepaulo]

the category was a horserace......the only one out of the running was the girl from Atonement.....my favorite was Amy Ryan.....but everyone was great.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I think Clooney's gonna win this year. The Oscars are a combination of popularity contest and past performances. Judging by that, it'll be how loved he is in Hollywood + Syriana last year. I know he won, but not for actor.

[thepaulo]

Jessica Alba......the scientific and technical awards.....
eastman code for good grain
lens designs.....by some guy

[EliSnow]

Jessica Alba's "always fantastic?"

[Tenbatsuzen]

Jessica Alba's "always fantastic?"

Sue Storm.

[TheMojoPin]

Jessica Alba's "always fantastic?"

That's what happens when you star in almost nothing but shitty movies.

[TheMojoPin]

It wouldn't be the end of the world. Michael Clayton is outstanding and he's fantastic in it.

Whenever the Coens win an Oscar, the world seems a little less terrible.

[Tenbatsuzen]

That's what happens when you star in almost nothing but shitty movies.

I... I'd try to fight this, but you're right. I can't think of a single good movie she's been in. Except for Sin City.

[thepaulo]

The guys from Atonement and Old Country for Old Men give the adapted screenplay to
No Country for Old Men

[TheMojoPin]

I... I'd try to fight this, but you're right. I can't think of a single good movie she's been in. Except for Sin City.

Yeah, that was the only one I could think of, too.

[thepaulo]

Dame Judi Dench and Halle Berry.....
kidnapped by Seth Rogen and the fat kid from Superbad....
Sound editing
The Bourne Ultimatum

[BeerBandit]

Yeah, that was the only one I could think of, too.
I believe you're forgetting the classic, Idle Hands.

jonah hill and seth rogan continue to argue which of them is Halle Berry....
Sound Mixing
the Bourne Ultimatum

[NickyL0885]

this is a joke right? who the hell is this woman? why is it that people from movies no one sees and no one heres of win? i dont get it. she can barely speak the language damnit!

[thepaulo]

Another strong category....Best Actress.....something of a surprise.....
Marion Cotilard......she was terrific but I still preferred Julie Christie.

[TheMojoPin]

Man, I really wanna see that Edith Piaf flick. I'm slacking.

[TheMojoPin]

this is a joke right? who the hell is this woman? why is it that people from movies no one sees and no one heres of win? i dont get it. she can barely speak the language damnit!

Who would you have picked?

And who cares if she can't speak English fluently? It's an acting award.

[jauble]

this is a joke right? who the hell is this woman? why is it that people from movies no one sees and no one heres of win? i dont get it. she can barely speak the language damnit!

whatch the hypocrisy in action

[Yerdaddy]

Is Paulo doing Oscar commentary entirely in haikus?

[EliSnow]

this is a joke right? who the hell is this woman? why is it that people from movies no one sees and no one heres of win? i dont get it. she can barely speak the language damnit!

May I recommend the People's Choice Awards for you?

[NickyL0885]

whatch the hypocrisy in action

hey now, i never said i was a perfect speller. ok, perhaps english isn't needed, but yeesh. you telling me you knew who she was? and i think Ellen Page should have won. I thought she was great in Juno.

[TheMojoPin]

Who cares if more people know a different actress?

[FUNKMAN]

wasn't ronnie pulling for Jewno?

[NickyL0885]

May I recommend the People's Choice Awards for you?

im not too much of an awards show guy. but nothing else is on. i only pay attention to award shows where Hugh Laurie is nominated. plus, im hoping for a Johnny Depp upset over Daniel Day Lewis.

[NickyL0885]

Who cares if more people know a different actress?

i just feel that if a movie or person in the movie are to be nominated, the movie should have made a certain amount of money. but hey, thats just my opinion.

[TheMojoPin]

Why?

[Tenbatsuzen]

I'm surprised how many of the movies I haven't seen that won best picture that I have no INTEREST in seeing.

[sailor]

Why?

i think he may have been baiting you there.

[NickyL0885]

Why?

honestly, i dont know. its just how i feel. if u want a nomination, make money. perhaps a minimum of 20million

[thepaulo]

sorry....I was farting around at thepaulo.com

The Bourne Ultimatum.....film editing....

I actually have been wanting to do Haiku Reviews for years but I'm too stupid.

I can't believe how UNATTRACTED I am to Nicole Kidman. Never had ANY interest in her.

[NickyL0885]

you're literally dead to me.

im sorry, i have to agree w/ tenbats. nicole kidman is a butterface.

[thepaulo]

he's older than 97 year old dirt.

[TheMojoPin]

I wonder how much stress there is behind the scenes over the older honorees dropping dead on the stage.

[smiler grogan]

For 98 his mind is still sharp. His hands though eesshhh, old man hands= blech.

[thepaulo]

It would be so cool to drop dead on stage......I could only hope something like that would happen to me.

[Chimee]

I could only hope something like that would happen to me.

There's always next year.

[jauble]

[thepaulo]

The one that wasn't in it.....

The song from Once.

[TheMojoPin]

Uh-oh, that movie only cost 100 grand. Nicky is gonna be pissed.

[thepaulo]

The writer/actor Glenn Hasband said "Tanks"
accepting for his song Falling Slowly

[NickyL0885]

Uh-oh, that movie only cost 100 grand. Nicky is gonna be pissed.

[NickyL0885]

[TheMojoPin]

Goddammit. I think Sicko losing killed my Oscar pool picks.

[sailor]

best documentary.....Taxi to the Dark Side

[thepaulo]

Juno is not the best original screenplay in my book.

[jauble]

[thepaulo]

ron's just a man.

[chubbyknuckles]

i mean, how could he not win against george clooney and and johnny depp , what a shit class, maybe jones was a contender

[jauble]

ron's just a man.

and the winner for best call back from a different thread goes to...



Sailor.

[thepaulo]

Can God pull one out for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.....



nope....
goes to the Coens.
which is okay.

[TheMojoPin]

i mean, how could he not win against george clooney and and johnny depp , what a shit class, maybe jones was a contender

Uh, what? Yeah, man, that Clooney and Depp...boy, their movies the last few years have SUCKED. Alright then...

Clooney was amazing in MC, and when is Depp ever not great in a role?

The Coens finally win as directors. Ironically, Paul Thomas Anderson will win down the line after similarly being ignored too may times making great film after great film.

[Yerdaddy]

Juno is not the best original screenplay in my book.

That must be a really good book.

[thepaulo]

Best Picture Best Director and a few others and the Coens look like they're waiting for their takeout order from Denny's.

[FUNKMAN]

what if ron was one of us?

[epo]

Paul Thomas Anderson was in No Country for Oscar! Gee Gee Gee

[thepaulo]

show finished at 11:51 Eastern Time.

[TheMojoPin]

Best Picture Best Director and a few others and the Coens look like they're waiting for their takeout order from Denny's.

Good. Their speeches should be the model.

[drjoek]

Not impressed with Ethan Coens "Im too cool even for the Oscars attitude"
:thumbdown:

"er.. ah.. Thank you"

[epo]

It's more of a "I'm too awkward for public" attitude.

Seriously, they are both stuttering public speakers.

[TheMojoPin]

It's more of a "I'm too awkward for public" attitude.

Seriously, they are both stuttering public speakers.

Yeah, they tend to not do many interviews or speaking appearances because they really are a couple of nervous, stammering film nerds in those situations.

[thepaulo]

by the way.....I assume everyone has seen the Ben Affleck/Jimmy Kimmel video tonight.....
he topped Sarah Silverman.

[TheMojoPin]
