At least The Hurt Locker gained an Oscar, making it worthy of some attention on TV.

[dalebert]

shucks ...missed it

[rogertarp]

Didn’t know it was on. Didn’t care if it was on. Who are these no names?

[skeeter]

Haven't watched it for years, but did last night. No political bloviating, no profanity, no controversy.

It was OK, actually.

I guess Hollywood is tired of losing money.

I haven’t watch the Oscars since Empire Strikes Back was up for best special effects.

[3D-JOY]

I tuned in after 10:30 PM to see if Sandra Bullock won since the worst and best actress seemed an oddity. It was a slow and silly show when I watched. I will probably not watch again for years.

Watched the whole thing. Damn snoozefest! No surprises whatsoever. I felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day calling out the winners before they tore open the envelopes.

I miss the old Oscars when there were surprsises, letdowns and various mishaps. When the presenters and winners would arrive to the podium half tanked and full of indignation about some fashionable political outrage.

I was half hoping Kanye would jump on the stage, grab Sandra's Oscar from her hands and give it to Gabby tons o' fun. At least that would've been entertaining!

I didn't watch the Oscars...but I will say that "Hurt Locker" was great.

It doesn't matter that it might have been loose with details. It's a story and literary license provides broad latidtude.

But the general theme of the attraction of danger and that last scene with the hero marching back into action, in the "suit"...that speaks to America.

America is heroic. America will do whatever must be done.

America loves the quietude of family and hometown...but America also loves danger.

America is young enough to remember when our freedom was bought by blood...lots'a blood.

We love danger because we know that danger is the price we pay for family and hometown!

Good. Maybe they will get a clue (but I doubt it). With the winning director and movie thanking our troops and all the men & women who fight for our country and freedom. It was a welcome and fresh change from their usual putrid libtard rantings.

“Oscars Capture Biggest TV Audience in Five Years”

Good God, why?

[lacrew]

ABC boosted attention with an Oprah Winfrey pre-Oscar special in prime time. They also had a prime time special showing the nominees ‘before they were famous’.

I think this helped the Oscar numbers...but I don’t know how well they did in those prime time slots that were ‘wasted’ on Oscar advertising.

Go ahead, ignorant sheep; keep watching your enemies on tv, and give them fame, your time, your admiration, and your money; also keep watching american idol, endless football, basket ball games; endless sitcoms, golf, etc. etc.
The enemies of this country work day and night on our destruction, yet people can careless. Notice that I am not saying don't watch any of those things I listed. But your idol has become entertainment, and you will not fight to retain your freedom and your blessings. You make me want to puke!

[Randy Larsen]

Never even knew it was on!

I don’t watch tv.

So, help me out here. Hollywood is nothing but Lefties. Lefties are pushing proposals all over the country that prohibit the division of genders into two discrete categories (male and female) because it is so discriminating and hurtful to all of the people who do not fit comfortable into either group. But Hollywood refuses to eliminate the Actor and Actress categories in their Oscars.

Can anyone small that. It smells like hypocrisy...
