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...

Somebody else just suggested the studio version is much better. Add the visual MTV-like memory association and that's why it probably won.

I"used" to like Spielberg -- before he revealed his friendship for Castro and just how left wing he really is.

I also liked it when the two guys that won for "Wallace and Gromit" put little bow ties on the statues that matched the funny looking ones they were wearing.

That it won means there is absolutely nothing left of the Academy Awards. Of course the other two weren't that good, but 'It's Hard Out Here Being A Pimp' is now going to be in the records for all time. They should be so proud of themselves....

I feel for the Freeper ladies watching tonight, most don't even get to enjoy the vicarious thrill of the mammary moments.

Tomorrow all the kids who got to stay up late will be humming the pimp song at the bus stop.

Isn't Hollywood wonderful.

I actually liked that song.

WHY is Clooney introducing the in memoriam montage? Doesn't he know that it's harder to insert snarky political commentary this way? Maybe he'll take the opportunity to finally thank the cast and crew of Syriana. Nah.

When I started to type it - I was thinking about all of the talented people who had won Oscars in the past - but when you start giving them to people like eminem and those yelping idiots that just won - well, now it's become a comedy.

Boobs and Bling and Boarish Buttheads, oh my!

I don't know, we're having a few mammary moments. Look, here's clooney. One of the biggest boobs I've ever seen.

A little disclaimer, with songs like "Its Hard Out Here for a Pimp" it is obviously not a family friendly movie, but I liked it much more than 8 Mile even though it covers much the same ground.

I can't believe that "The Sausage Song" from Freddy Got Fingered wasn't even nominated!

Doesn't look like they're going to award Narnia even in the technical categories. I've turned it off for now.

I didn't know Sandra Dee died, or Shelly Winters either.
