Hey kids -- who's in?

I've been waiting for a thread to pop up all day. Is anyone else interested?

If anyone thinks this is too early, keep in mind that E! Entertainment Television has been live, with a countdown to the red carpet, since 9 a.m. PST.

Well, you haven't been interested in a while, then. Which reminds me.

In the interest of expediency, I have prepared a code system. Please self-label as needed:

#1: I hate movies, or used to like them but changed my mind, and wouldn't be caught dead watching this show full of uber-liberal snobs and elitist, socialist scum.*

#2: I can't believe anyone (such as you people) would actually be caught dead watching this show full of uber-liberal snobs and elitist, socialist scum.*

#3: Sure, I'll watch and point & laugh; enjoying an evening of fun & merriment with some fellow conservative-minded folks.

#4: I will choose another thread now. If I decide to share (here) whether I'm a #1 or a #2, I understand a reply might arrive, but is not guaranteed.

*proceed directly to #4

Sorry, I won't be watching it again. Jon Stewart hosting again.

Hope the Plastic People enjoy themselves. Don't their hands hurt from endlessly patting themselves on the back? How many awards shows do they give themselves each year? It's at least one a month.
