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...

Can't say I disagree with anything you just said.

Everytime I think of Capote, I can't help thinking of the movie "Murder by Death."

As I said in a previous post, winning the Oscar for playing Truman Capote is like winning the Oscar for being an Ethel Merman impersonator.

I actually heard someone say that Brokeback was a huge success and made 80million dollars.... heck, some movies make that on opening weekend.

March of the Penquins, a documentary - $77 million while in theaters.

I suspect you are right, but do we know for sure? He's always canoodling with this one and that one ... the latest being Terry Hatcher and Zellweiger, but he manages to dump them in short time....also seems to be drinking a lot more these days which tells me the man has demons.

I understand that the Academy is going to give a Thalberg Lifetime Achievement Award (And about &*$&%^%#%%&#^&^^%%&!!! Time too!) to Roger Corman:

The Master of Low and No Budget Cinema!

It's tempting, but I'll just have to sit this one out. Then check some other sites to see if they have a clip of the Presentation.

Jack.
