HAS ANYBODY SAID IT YET? BOYCOTT THE OSCARS (Oscars Live Thread)
3-4-06 | freedom4me

Posted on 03/05/2006 1:43:20 PM PST by freedom4me

I suppose on this thread it goes without saying, but I'll say in anyway...BOYCOTT THE OSCARS tonight.

I want the ratings for this year's program go into the toilet (where most the nominated movies belong). I won't waste my money to see the films, my electricity to watch the Oscars, or my time watching to witness Hollywood's self-adulation fest.

Pass it on...

Kind of like Jethro Tull beating Metallica for the best metal performance at the grammys?

Yes, Crash is a great movie, which Mat Dillon has won instead of Clooney.

"When I see that movie I think of 17 Rangers who were killed needlessly..."

We all agree with you on that. I never want those 17 Rangers to be forgotten. The problem is, the only way we can remember them is to watch the movie. Not easy.

I can now die happy, because "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" has FINALLY gotten the recognition it so deserves. Shoot me now.

Wasn't it later determined that she wasn't really an Indian, just an actress?

I'm talking about MASH the movie. MASH the TV show could be tedious, but the best episodes were some great TV.

The fact that gunsta rap won an oscar has cheapened the oscars forever.

Eminem already won one for some awful thing from "8 Mile" where he yapped annoyingly over a riff lifted directly from a Led Zeppelin record.
