THe Oscars
 

Virginia Madsen is just plain pretty.

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.

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

I HOpe PEnelope Cruz hAS a "wardRObe malFUNction".

It's a puzzle!

HOPECASROFUN

time to unscramble!

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

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

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

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

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!

I gotta agree.

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.

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.

what?

Is Rene Zellwlsiwegier turning into Bjork?

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

What?

Que?

Yeah!

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.

Looking at Hillary Swank makes me have uncontrollable diarrhea

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".

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

Robin Williams ... least funny person ever?

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

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.

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.

Not sure, but you surely get the Oscar for most misspellings & gramm-errors in a single sentence. The throne is o'erthrown!

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

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

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).

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

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. :)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Barrymores hair frightened me.

She went alittle heavy on the eye shadow too.

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

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

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.

he's been setting the standard in terrible haircuts for about 5 years now.

Adam from Counting Crows in full "Sideshow Bob" getup tonight, I see. Good choice for the billion-person audience.

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

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.
