Oscars Anyone?
 

Are you going to watch the Oscars? I am, I don't think I have missed a year since I was about 10 yrs old. I didn't get to see many movies this year due to travel but I hope to catch them on DVD very soon. I will still watch the ceremony. Who do you want to win for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Movie?

The only movie I saw was Walk the Line! My dtr bought it on DVD yesterday. I would like them to win since I have no other reference to judge by!

Love The Oscars!
 

I can't Wait! :yay_jump:
But I'll probaly be on YT too! :coffee_n_

Oh not me- I will be totally glued to the TV- I have DVR so I can let it get a head start recording and then skip all the commercials.

I'm usually not into the Oscars, but for some reason I'm interested this year. I have watched quite a few of the movies/actors nominated, and there are some good ones. I'm a little disappointed 'Cinderella Man' didn't make it for best movie nomination though...

Man, talk about a boring show and some total surprize winners!!!!!!!!! This was the most boring Oscars I have ever watched. I didn't expect Crash to win or Rachel Wiese.

I was SO BORED, all I did was flip channels,and still found NOTHING, so went in the bedroom at 9 and watched dvds of Sex and the City, that's always good. :thumbup:

I don't watch the Oscars. I have never understood why a group of actors sound like they're reading cue cards. They're actors, for pete's sake, act like you're not reading cue cards. And the one liners that are meant to amuse....don't....they just sound stupid. I will watch the entertainment shows tonight, though.....just so I can think....holy crap, she paid 14,000 dollars for that dress, it's hideous, yuck, and didn't she check her hair before leaving the dang house???

All I could think of is this is what Deseperte Housewives and Grey's Anatomy were off the air for??? :confused:

Beats another rerun of a show that was originally on....4 weeks ago. I understand WHY the TV networks throw in the reruns...to make the season longer...but it really peeves that they throw everything out of chronological order....grrrrr. So and so may have died a few weeks ago, but today he's been resurrected :eek: Or sometimes I miss shows here and there....finally get it on the right time and day and what the heck happens.....it's the one episode I've already seen :mad: :mad:

I love the Oscars and never miss it! I thought all of the movies nominated were fabulous and had such wonderful messages and were more than fluff and puff. So in tune with doing what movies do best...making people think. I was surprised that Crash won because everyone expected it to be Brokeback Mountain but Crash was such a powerful and compelling movie that it deserved it. I have to see it again as I only saw it once. It is hard to watch but the message is so important to society I believe.

I was so happy that Crash won...I hope that everyone that didn't see it will now :thumbup: :thumbup: go. It is a great film that deals with a very disturbing topic....Racism in America. I spend all of my volunteer time working on race issues and raising public awareness on racism. Bravo that this movie was acknowledged.
