THe Oscars

[Suicane75]

Virginia Madsen is just plain pretty.

[Eaglesfan27]

I was just about to start an Oscars thread. I rarely watch the Oscars, but find myself watching this year mainly because I'm a huge Chris Rock fan and want to see him host the show. Anyone else watching primarily because of Chris Rock?

**raises hand** If not for him I would of been asleep 3 hours ago.

[sovereignstar]

This thread is tainted. You capitalized the 'h' in 'the'. I mean wtf?

[gottimd]

I HOpe PEnelope Cruz hAS a "wardRObe malFUNction".

[korme]

It's a puzzle!

HOPECASROFUN

time to unscramble!

[Suicane75]

Chris Rock is bringin the funny, but this audience is aprehensive.

[SunDancer]

I HOpe PEnelope Cruz hAS a "wardRObe malFUNction".

I've never understood the big fuss over her after seeing her tonight.

[Suicane75]

I'm very tired, but this is fuckin funny.

[cthomer5000]

Chris Rock is bringin the funny, but this audience is aprehensive.
I'm a huge Rock fan, but the jokes aren't quite jokey enough. they just sound like insults.

[gottimd]

I've never understood the big fuss over her after seeing her tonight.

Ok, to each his own, hopefully any of the hot actresses lose their dress and take it a step further and do some porn on stage. Crossing my fingers!

[SunDancer]

I gotta agree.

[Suicane75]

I'm a huge Rock fan, but the jokes aren't quite jokey enough. they just sound like insults.

It's funny cause it's true. I love tension.

[cthomer5000]

It's funny cause it's true. I love tension.
Well, i think it's pretty true as well. But it's going to make for an awkard night, and probably no invitation to host again. It's a night of celebrating Hollywood. A lot of people with poor senses of humor will take offense, i'm sure.

[Eaglesfan27]

It's funny cause it's true. I love tension.

I thought they did border on insulting, but I thought they were very funny. I think the audience was cold because there was that tension there. They laughed hardest when he made jokes at his own expense.

[korme]

what?

[Suicane75]

Is Rene Zellwlsiwegier turning into Bjork?

[gottimd]

Maybe "Was Chris Rock Funny at the Oscars" deserves a poll on the board?

[Suicane75]

what?

What?

[gottimd]

What?

Que?

[Ragone]

What?

Yeah!

[korme]

first time it's ever crossed my mind that hilary swank is hot.

and morgan freeman is the mack of all pimps. one of my favorite actors.

[gottimd]

Looking at Hillary Swank makes me have uncontrollable diarrhea

[Suicane75]

first time it's ever crossed my mind that hilary swank is hot.

and morgan freeman is the mack of all pimps. one of my favorite actors.

Ya know, i look at her and I think "shes not supposed to be hot" but then i end up thinking "i'd do her, yeah i would".

[SunDancer]

Eh...
Many people can look hot when they got the right dress and crap.

[cthomer5000]

Robin Williams ... least funny person ever?

[Suicane75]

Can I stay at someones house in LA while I beat up Robin Williams?

[cthomer5000]

Shrek 2 and the Incredibles were both outstanding movies. Tough that they came out in the same year and had to go head to head.

[Suicane75]

Bill Simons stream of consciousness,

How close did we come to having Coach and Lowel being nominated for an Oscar, surely thats a sign of the appocalypse.

[NoMyths]

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I knew it was atroc....horrible, but i cant stream of ******** with spell check.

[SunDancer]

Is Rene Zellwlsiwegier turning into Bjork?

I don't know how she's a "A-list" actor. She can barely talk with her eyes open and look normal (well, for an actress-good/hot).

[Suicane75]

That Lemony Snicket chick was annoying, and I hate this aisleway awards crap.

[MikeVic]

I like Rock, and I'm watching to see what he says.

Since he makes fun of himself too, you'd think people would laugh more about other people... but nope. Some of these guys need to get a sense of humour. :)

[Ksyrup]

I was expecting Drew Barrymore to kiss Michael Jackson at the end of her presentation.

[Eaglesfan27]

Hmmmm.. talk about hot. She looks good in any language.

[Young Drachma]

I don't get the whole let's having singing at the Oscars thing. Just give yet awards and get on with the after parties.

It just seems so haugty to me. The whole event. Seems Hollywood takes themselves so seriously.

[gottimd]

What the hell is this crap? Why can't Beyonce be naked?

[cthomer5000]

I don't get the whole let's having singing at the Oscars thing. Just give yet awards and get on with the after parties.

I think it adds a little something to the evening. Unlike the acting categories, it's the only thing that can be easily displayed to audience. I like it, personally.

[Young Drachma]

I don't really like Beyonce. But, I think whoever made her up today, did a pretty good job. She looks "classy" rather than the normal overdone, trashy thing I see her at other awards shows.

[SunDancer]

Yeah...I love how they sing in French too.

[Suicane75]

Barrymores hair frightened me.

[SunDancer]

Barrymores hair frightened me.

She went alittle heavy on the eye shadow too.

[Suicane75]

Why do these women have to get all whored up? Scarlet Johanson is so pretty, whats with the crazy hair and overblown clown makeup.

[gottimd]

Good point, she was hot in "In Good Company".

[Suicane75]

Is Pierce Brosnan gonna keel over onstage?
OMG, maybe i'm overthinking things, but when Pierce handed the chick the award and stepped to the side he looked down as if he didn't wanna walk into the cartoon lady, I almost choked from laughing.

[cthomer5000]

Adam from Counting Crows in full "Sideshow Bob" getup tonight, I see. Good choice for the billion-person audience.
he's been setting the standard in terrible haircuts for about 5 years now.

[QuikSand]

[Young Drachma]

Good point, she was hot in "In Good Company".

I was thinking that they really overdid her eye makeup and wacky hairdo, too.

[cuervo72]

One thing my wife noticed: the "in" look for actresses this year seems to be fair (almost pale) skin. Johanssen, Zellweger, Barrymore, Blanchette, Dunst - all looked quite fair (add Kidman to that probably, though I haven't seen her yet). This seems to amuse my wife (who is a redhead with very fair skin).

Seems that the general look is trending to the 40's to me as well.

[gottimd]

There doesnt seem to be alot of people in the audience. Everytime they pan through the crowd, there are a lot empty seats on the top and back rows.

[Young Drachma]

One thing I do like is how they give awards to all the people behind the scenes. The other shows sorta whisk those folks away, but if you're one of these visual effects guys or whatever, this could be like...the defining night of your career - especially since most folks don't get to see you or whatever.

I dunno...

[Young Drachma]

Is Al Pacino looking like...on something? Like it sounds like his voice is slurred or whatever.

[cthomer5000]

I would love pale skin to be the look. Personally, I hate a tanned look.

[JimboJ]

I love Chris Rock, but I don't find him that funny tonight. I hate to admit it, but he's just not as funny when he's not allowed to curse!

[MikeVic]

Who's the woman with the gigantic tits??

[cthomer5000]

Who's the woman with the gigantic tits??
The first time they showed her that's what i was wondering... They showed her like a million times, too.

[cthomer5000]

Anybody notice posts #47 and #48?
A timestamp thing I see.
yeah, unfortunately that bug still seems to be lurking around here.

[tucker rocky]

Anybody notice posts #47 and #48?

[Honolulu_Blue]

Wow. We should rename this thread "The Catty Corner."

Mrrrooow!!

[Eaglesfan27]

And who was that sutie that just introduced Beyonce? And why is she singing again?
Because she is hot and can sing?

[MikeVic]

And who was that cutie that just introduced Beyonce? And why is she singing again?

edit: It's ok, she's looking beautiful.

[Ksyrup]

Barrymores hair frightened me.
For whatever reason, she decided to go as Lisa Marie Presley tonight.

[cthomer5000]

And who was that cutie that just introduced Beyonce? And why is she singing again?

edit: It's ok, she's looking beautiful. When the original performer either can't or won't perform it at the Oscar, they just get whoever. My guess is that Beyonce was more than willing, in hopes of expanding her acting career. And it doesn't hurt to expose yourself to the entire world for your music career either.

[JonInMiddleGA]

I happened thru the room where my wife was watching. I managed to get through the opening monologue (I guess that's what it was) from the bit about Wait for the stars thru Fahrenheit 9/11 bit to the end of the Passion of the Christ bit.

Political stuff masquerading as humor at the Oscars, what a shock. I'd say Rock is one-and-done as host.

[cuervo72]

For whatever reason, she decided to go as Lisa Marie Presley tonight.

LOL, it's funny, because my wife was panning her hairdo, and I commented that it looked like an old Priscilla Presley look. :p

cthomer - well, I obviously agree with you on the fair look. :D

[Ben E Lou]

No straight black man watches the Oscars.

[Ksyrup]

I don't know why that is limited to black men. I'm not really watching, but my wife has it on. Otherwise, I'd probably be watching a Columbo.

[Young Drachma]

No straight black man watches the Oscars.

I only watched to see if Chris Rock said anything funny...and I'm anticipating Jaimie Foxx's acceptance speech.

[Eaglesfan27]

I don't know. I'm not exclusively watching it (I'm playing FM05 at the same time) but Salma Hayek, Beyonce, and a few others have looked quite good.

[Eaglesfan27]

I only watched to see if Chris Rock said anything funny...and I'm anticipating Jaimie Foxx's acceptance speech.
This is my other reason for watching it.

[Young Drachma]

I doubt he'd want to do it again anyway. I mean, seriously. He figures they're paying him six-figures to host tonight, then on top of that...he gets to use all the crap he sees tonight as material in his next awesomely funny show.

It'll be fine.

[MikeVic]

No straight black man watches the Oscars.

Why?

[NoMyths]

Why?They're all catching a rerun of White Chicks instead.

[cthomer5000]

You want a reason to watch?

:D

[Crapshoot]

what ct said. That alone was worth it.

[cuervo72]

Dude...that's a quick cap.

And yeah, that's the main reason to watch. That and Rock, though I missed the opening and things have been just moving along from there (too much music, not enough Rock). The clips from the Magic Johnson Theater were funny though. :)

No thanks.

[cthomer5000]

No thanks.
I challenge your sexual orientation.

[kurtism]

Selma Hayek is unbelievably gorgoues, but the racoon look doesn't do her (or any of the 42 other starlets working that theme tonight) justice... Just flash back to Desperado and relive the memories...

[kurtism]

From what I have seen tonight, no one has topped Virginia Madsen

[cuervo72]

Yes yes to Salma...eh to Penelope.

[cuervo72]

Dola - please Natalie, eat something.

[Sharpieman]

Yea look at those ****!!!

[Ksyrup]

I challenge your sexual orientation.I'm not saying they're not hot, I just don't really give a crap about ultra-perfect movie stars. They don't do much for me. It's like watching a porno where the chicks are playing up to the camera - I'd rather see the real thing, even if the chick falls far short of movie star-quality.

[Ksyrup]

From what I have seen tonight, no one has topped Virginia Madsen
Good God, I loved that woman back in the 80's. Anyone remember Fire With Fire?

[kurtism]

Virginia: http://www.oscar.com/oscarnight/redcarpet/34519.html

[MikeVic]

Wow. What's with all this hotties I've never seen before? Who's that lady that was just shown? In that spanish (?) movie.

[cuervo72]

Good God, I loved that woman back in the 80's. Anyone remember Fire With Fire?

Wasn't bad in The Hot Spot either (though overshadowed by Ms. Connelly).

And Rock needs to slap Sean Penn upside the head. Or at least get somebody else to.

[Crapshoot]

Hilary Swank - not a surprise...

[Crapshoot]

this is the speech that never ends..

[Ksyrup]

How the hell does someone who was once on 90210 AND is married to Chad Lowe become a 2-time Oscar winner?

Screw Kurt Warner. This chick has lived the true "against all odds" life...

[Crapshoot]

Well, pretty much every one of the stars has been on Soaps - but the Chad Lowe bit - yeah.

[MikeVic]

I like how when they show Antonio Banderas, he looks genuinely pleased with the Spanish winners. Nice to see someone paying attention. :)

[Ksyrup]

Well, pretty much every one of the stars has been on Soaps - but the Chad Lowe bit - yeah.Really? Admittedly, I don't follow movie stars, and I certainly don't watch soaps, but the only one that immediately comes to mind is Meg Ryan. But I'm talking about Oscar winners here. And also, we're not just talking soaps, we're talking 90freaking210.

Speaking of Chad Lowe, I was flipping through channels either last night or Friday night and ran across a Kellie Martin movie on the Family Channel (she was plaing an amateur detective). Still pretty cute, even without the baby fat...and Corky.

[Calis]

Woohoo, Kaufman won for Original Screenplay with Eternal Sunshine.

I actually cheered out loud when he won, only award I was really pulling for someone tonight!

I just don't get Penelope. Glam up, she's not very attractive to me.

I agree with Ksyrup. I like the real thing. I bet some of these women are just average when they don't have the pictures airbrushed, the makeup, the hair done, and all that.

[korme]

I would love pale skin to be the look. Personally, I hate a tanned look.
are you drunk?

[Crapshoot]

K - I was under the impression that many a start got their start in soaps - can't recall any names right now.

[Eaglesfan27]

I loved Swank's and Foxx's acceptance speeches. They're like rewards for watching the whole thing.

I agree. Foxx's speech was particularly good I thought.

Whose dick does Scorcese have to suck?!?!?!?

[Honolulu_Blue]

Whose dick does Scorcese have to suck?!?!?!?
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!

[tucker rocky]

Do 'ya feel lucky?
Well do 'ya punk? :D

[cthomer5000]

Whose dick does Scorcese have to suck?!?!?!? I think it's a terrible award show, and its votes are nincompoops, because I, as a rank amateur in this field, disagree with the winner of one or more awards.

[NoMyths]

While Oscars are sometimes lifetime achievement awards, it was probably for the best Aviator didn't get Scorcese this one...pretty choppy film, and not his best work.

[Crapshoot]

Cleanup for Clint eh ?

[Celeval]

Meh.

[Sharpieman]

I'm sad Hotel Rwanda didn't get any awards. That was the best film of the year.

[tucker rocky]

I'm surprised "Ray" didn't get best picture, as being a tribute to Ray Charles.

[Crapshoot]

And to think, if it wasnt Jaime Fox in the performance of a lifetime- it would have been a sweep. Nicely done.

[cthomer5000]

I'm surprised "Ray" didn't get best picture, as being a tribute to Ray Charles.
i thought the movie was "good," but just not best picture material. I haven't seen million dollar baby, so i have no clue as to whether it's a better picture.

[QuikSand]

I can't speak with true authority - I didn't see The Aviator. Just with the hype, and the lack of a clear winner, plus all the "technical" awards it took in the early going -- it certainly seemed to point that way.

It doesn't seem like a travesty **cough**KevinCostner**cough** to me, but it does seem to be a bit of a shame. Baby was a good movie, but it seems to me that this field was a bit lacking overall anyway.

Baby was a good movie, but it seems to me that this field was a bit lacking overall anyway.If seeing both films (as well as the other nominees) counts as true authority, I'd be happy to speak with it...Baby was the best of the bunch. If Aviator--which was pretty much a failure at almost everything besides the technical aspects--had won, I'd have been disappointed.

That is reasuring to hear. Honestly.

[cthomer5000]

I personally think it's a crime that Michel Gondry wasn't even nominated for direction for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

[cthomer5000]

are you drunk?
No. I'm just not a fan of the baked look.

[Buccaneer]

I would love pale skin to be the look. Personally, I hate a tanned look.
Let's agree to disagree or else we won't be friends anymore.

[Calis]

The awards went overall a lot better than I thought they would. I figured Aviator to win Scorsese for Director and for best film. Very glad it didn't though.

Would love to see Scorsese get an Oscar, but he didn't deserve it here...how he didn't get one when he did, I'll never understand.

I don't think Hotel Rwanda EVER played around here, which sucks..I'd really like to see that, big Don Cheadle fan.

Has anyone seen Downfall? That movie about Hitler? Something I've been wanting to see, I've heard it's quite good a couple places.

[KWhit]

Me and the wife won the Oscar pool at a party (I didn't go, but helped her pick the winners over the phone).

$115 richer. WooHoo!

[ISiddiqui]

Oh, come on... Jamie Foxx was in "In Living Color". That's worse. The funny thing was in the Golden Globes him and Carrey, another ILC cast member were nominated for best actor.

Anyway, glad Clint won. Love everything he touches. If Scorcese got it for the Aviator it would have been more of a lifetime achievement (so I've heard). Though apparently Blanchett was deserving.

Btw, REALLY hate the pale, not-eating-a-thing look. Meh.

[Young Drachma]

I think it's awesome that two former In Living Color vets are "serious" actors these days. And Depp isn't exactly chopped liver either and I like that, too.

[Ragone]

are you drunk?

No, But i think Dustin Hoffman had a few before he went on stage

[sabotai]

No, But i think Dustin Hoffman had a few before he went on stage

He looked like he had more than "a few".

I agree with ct. I would rather have the pale look be "the look" than the tanned look. Tanned skin just doesn't do it for me. I don't know. I just don't seem to be attracted to girls who feel the need to slowly cook their skin to look good. But, I would rather girls just stick to the color their skin natually is. When they try to darken their skin through tanning/make up or lighten it by make-up, It's just meh.

Anyway, Renee Zellweger looked absolutely hideous tonight. Selma Hayek on the other hand....damn she's hot. Catalina Sandino Moreno ain't too shabby either. *rowr*

[timmynausea]

Agreed on the pale/fair skin being awesome.

[Ksyrup]

Oh, come on... Jamie Foxx was in "In Living Color". That's worse. The funny thing was in the Golden Globes him and Carrey, another ILC cast member were nominated for best actor.
I disagree. ILC didn't take itself seriously - it was a sketch comedy show. 90210, on the other hand...

[Ksyrup]

I think it's a terrible award show, and its votes are nincompoops, because I, as a rank amateur in this field, disagree with the winner of one or more awards.
hahahaha! Thanks for a good laugh early in the morning.

[gottimd]

Lets face it, the show/awards have gone downhill since they robbed "Leonard Part 6" from the Best movie award.

[cuervo72]

Btw, REALLY hate the pale, not-eating-a-thing look. Meh.

I would separate the two...I don't think Johanssen, Dunst or especially Barrymore have ever been accused of being too thin. Zellweger of course is up and down for roles anyway. And yeah, she's looking...interesting these days. The black hair, the red dress, the cheeks that force her eyes closed...I think she's contemplating changing her name to Donna Chang.

[ISiddiqui]

I don't think Johanssen, Dunst or especially Barrymore have ever been accused of being too thin.
Barrymore, at least, looked waaaay too skinny. I didn't see the other too.

ILC didn't take itself seriously - it was a sketch comedy show. 90210, on the other hand...
So what? I expect better acting talent to arise from the O.C. than from Reno 911!

[Ksyrup]

So what? I expect better acting talent to arise from the O.C. than from Reno 911!
Really? Not me. Not with all of the comedians who cross-over. Sketch comedy is what it is, and doesn't necessarily reflect the participants' acting abilities. Shit like The OC, OTOH, is supposed to be "acted". And it's done pretty poorly, from the little I've seen. But maybe that's just the ridiculousness of the scripts, I don't know.

[digamma]

I'm sad Hotel Rwanda didn't get any awards. That was the best film of the year.
Agree with you. Best movie I've seen in a long time. I was really pulling for Don Cheadle.

[Maple Leafs]

I think it's awesome that two former In Living Color vets are "serious" actors these days. And Depp isn't exactly chopped liver either and I like that, too.The emergence of Carrey and Foxx as serious actors, combined with Jennifer Lopez and the continued success of the Wayans brothers, has moved In Living Color into "holy crap, where did all those stars come from" territory alongside the 1994 Expos.

[QuikSand]

I think it's a terrible award show, and its votes are nincompoops, because I, as a rank amateur in this field, disagree with the winner of one or more awards.

touche. well played.

[HomerJSimpson]

As I said in an earlier thread, if Clint Eastwood filmed himself taking a crap, he'd get an Oscar.

[ISiddiqui]

So then what exactly was "Mystic River"? ;)

[HomerJSimpson]

So then what exactly was "Mystic River"? ;)

He was nominated for that one too (and it was up for best picture). Again, just wait for next year. He'll get a Oscar nomination for "What Came Out of My Bowels."

[gottimd]

He'll get a Oscar nomination for "What Came Out of My Bowels."
I am really looking forward to that shit! (insert zinger noise)

[ISiddiqui]

He was nominated for that one too (and it was up for best picture). Again, just wait for next year. He'll get a Oscar nomination for "What Came Out of My Bowels."
He didn't get an Oscar for it, though. You said he would GET an Oscar.

[HomerJSimpson]

Actually, I orginally said nominated. I just mis-quoted myself.

[digamma]

I happened thru the room where my wife was watching. I managed to get through the opening monologue (I guess that's what it was) from the bit about Wait for the stars thru Fahrenheit 9/11 bit to the end of the Passion of the Christ bit.

Political stuff masquerading as humor at the Oscars, what a shock. I'd say Rock is one-and-done as host.
I'm not so sure about CR and one and done (though I agree the Bush stuff was unfunny--but I did like the bit about the next black movie being titled Check Cashing Place).

http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/oscars/news/apo/20050228/110961468000.html

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

I still think that its all a sham. With films like The Passion and Farenheit 911 not being considered for nomination. Another snub was The Motorcycle Diaries which I felt was the best movie of the year.
