These people spend the year trotting all over the globe making asses of themselves with their general anti-American, pro- tinpot dictator childishness and then expect regular people to tune in and watch them tell the world how wonderful they are? Give me a break. I wouldn’t have tuned in if I’d heard that someone dropped a bomb on the place. I loathe and detest these assclowns.

That is pretty much how I would sum it up.

I am glad I am not the only who thought that the show sucked.

But the fact that they had John Stewart hosting and got the lowest rating ever is extra sweet.

I just read an excellent piece in Jewish World Review by Mitch Albom about the depressing nature of the films that were “honored” at the Oscars this year. He makes the point that instead of glorifying the worst in ourselves with movies, we could just look in the mirror. He lauds films with (GASP!) happy endings or good winning out over evil (which will NEVER get an Oscar nod).
This is what happens when you let liberals run things: we ALL get depressed.

I stopped wasting three hours+ of the Oscars, with all the preening, herpes-infected low lifes in $50,000 outfits.

I agree. Stewart is an ass.

The last movie my wife and I saw in a theater was Dances With Wolves when it came out in 1990. Neither of us pay any attention to the industry; especially the awards.
But last Friday, the wife, who manages a craft store, had a customer complain that they had no party items for an “Academy Awards Night” party. “After all, it’s the entertainment equivalent of the Super Bowl.” She came home and told me about it with her most “You won’t believe this” expression. Oh, and this woman was in her 50’s or thereabouts. She wasn’t a young college-age kid.
That’s one party I’m glad I missed.

It might have helped their ratings if some Americans got oscars. After all, the movies were invented in America and is one our biggest exports, yet all the major awards went to foreigners (who probably hate America).

I saw all the films except Juno, either in the theaters or on DVD. That French actress who played the singer was really good. A good movie.

Marion Cotillard deserved the Oscar....although I thought Julie Christie did give her a good run for the money.
And...I thought it so sweet when the stripper-turned-writer won best orginal screenplay award over all the writer's union types....hehehehe....

Agreed. But here's the bad news. She's a spokesperson for Greenpeace. I was hoping that maybe she was one of the normal ones.

I don’t get depressed by the libidiot new movies...
I just don’t watch them. If I desire movies, and I regularly do, there are hundreds of older flicks that I’ve already seen and many I have archived along with literally thousands more that I would like to see. Who needs these new queer movies made by psychotic liberals?
