***OSCARS****

[underpants]

red carpet on now

Jennifer Lawrence "Winter Bones" is in a red dress :wow:

[nolabear]

1. She's unrecognizable! And gogeous.

I loved that movie. I read the book first and the movie reminded me how inclined I (who am freaking MARRIED to a man whose family would have been called hillbillies) am to stereotype. I was seeing Hatfields and Coys, and the movie reminded me that these are modern people whose way of doing things is modern dysfunctional. Quite the legacy, though. I'd recommend both, though they changed the ending.

[Flaxbee]

2. I'm going to need pictures! I'm stuck at the office finishing a proposal...

Help!

[underpants]

4. Here you go

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/02/jennifer-lawrence-red-dress-for-the-oscar-red-carpet-/1

[tigereye]

9. just lovely!

[Flaxbee]

17. thanks, underpants. Just found an online source

so my style-junkie needs are covered!

[Capn Sunshine]

106. Yowza!

Hot cha cha and all that.

[pokerfan]

3. Who are you wearing?

Me, I'm wearing Levi Strauss and Fruit of the Loom.

Mila:

[bdamomma]

197. she looks great in this gown.

[underpants]

5. Mia Farrow time travel

[RichGirl]

6. I hope something controvesrsal happens....

Like Charlie Sheen streaking accross the stage. I bet he would do it!

[liberalhistorian]

185. Melissa Leo's F word bomb was pretty funny;

apparently she thought she was still in "Fighter" character.

[tigereye]

7. what channel?

sorry dupe...

[tigereye]

8. what channel UP?

was just reading about her stylist and how they picked the dress... :hi:



What i wanna know- what does Banksy look like? I wanna see if he's really a grandma!

[nolabear]

10. LOL! Or he's secretly Russell Brand.

[tigereye]

14. but I want him to be a grandma!

:rofl:

[pokerfan]

11. E! (and now ABC)

[pokerfan]

12. Scarlett Johansson

:bounce:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

27. Why do you spend all that money on a dress to go to the Oscars....

...then not fix your fucking hair?

[The Backlash Cometh]

90. I know, right?

[jmowreader]

113. It is that way on purpose

She hired someone to do that to her.

And you're right, it's hideous.

[TorchTheWitch]

136. bed-head has suddenly become the "in" look for women

Why that is I have no idea since it's ghastly. I noticed this with the last few awards ceremonies. I often think "in" styles whether it's hair or clothes starts out as a joke just to see if people will fall for it - and they always seem to.

[underpants]

13. WOW Ryan Secrest is hitting it out of the park with the questions

he just went deep with Kevin Spacey (executive producer of "The Social Network") on the role of Facebook on the current state of revolution. Spacey said that Zuckerberg wanted to have nothing to do with the movie....and that communication between people is vital in the future.

He then asked Juntin Timberlake what he thought of Napster back in the day. "Wow seems like a lifetime ago" said Timberlake. He then said that he was in in NSYNC at the time but other than that he would have been in college and probably using Napster. Now he has songwriters as friends so it is difficult to balance the two.

[nolabear]

15. LOL Tim Gunn working hard not to dis Melissa Leo's dress to her.

NICE tapdance.

[nolabear]

16. Kids' chorus with "Mr. B"...a PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER who inspired them to greatness.

P.S. 22 Chorus. They'll be onstage later. Support our teachers, folks.

[bikebloke]

18. No longer my guilty pleasure.

Once a year, I would watch broadcast teevee for the Oscars. The rest of the time, the set sits in the corner under a dust cloth except for weekend video time.

After the digital switch over, I'm out in the cold. But what interests me most can be found the next day on YouTube - In Memoriam.

:shrug:

[NuclearDem]

19. 20 minutes till show time...

What are your picks for the awards, DUers?

[Scooter24]

[NuclearDem]

23. I agree with most of those

I think Picture and Lead Actor are pretty much sealed up with King's Speech and Colin Firth.

Only major one I want to disagree with is Original Score...I'm hoping for Hans Zimmer for Inception.

[DainBramaged]

20. And the best picture of the year is invisible.....

Just kidding


:spray:

[Phoonzang]

24. I enjoyed that movie more than any of the nominees actually...

:hide:

[The Backlash Cometh]

96. It's time to take the trash out.

Great line.

[underseasurveyor]

22. A glimpse on the inside

One of my great friends is married to someone on the board of governors and *sigh* has to go to the Oscars every year and afterward has to attend that 'boring' governors ball :evilgrin:

[Supply Side Jesus]

25. Inception wins it's first for the night!

hope it keep it going!

[fishwax]

26. Wally Pfister thanked his "wonderful union crew" in his speech for best cinematography

:kick:

[Supply Side Jesus]

28. *BEEP BEEP*

LOL.... Melissa Leo rocks

[Darth_Kitten]

30. is her speech over yet?

:rofl:

[Supply Side Jesus]

31. now it is

remind me to write my speech when I get my Oscar

[Darth_Kitten]

33. Yeah, I think when there's a 20 percent chance of winning (only 5 nominees)....

have at least something coherent to say. ;)

[liberalhistorian]

187. Shit, I've been writing mine for forty years!

Maybe I'll get a chance to use it in my nursing home in another forty! Although I don't think it would be wise to drop the F bomb like Melissa. :rofl:

[nolabear]

29. Kirk Douglas!

[Gold Metal Flake]

32. "You know..."

:rofl:

[tigereye]

36. oh my, so witty- but he must have had a stroke..

Nice to see him.

[NuclearDem]

38. Yeah, back in 1996...

He sounded like that too when he got his Honorary Award in 97.

[liberalhistorian]

189. God, was that ANNOYING. Just open

the fucking envelope and read the damned name already, sheesh.

[NuclearDem]

34. Toy Story!

[FVZA_Colonel]

35. I loved it, but HTTYD was better.

But, it's Pixar, so what're you gonna do?

[NuclearDem]

37. I guess I just have a soft spot for TS

HTTYD was really good though, I agree.

[FVZA_Colonel]

85. I should clarify. If it were any other year, then TS3 should definetly have won.

It really was a fantastic film. But I guess, at the end of the day, I would have to pick HTTYD as the best animated picture of the year (though I'll admit I haven't seen the third one that was nominated.)

[FVZA_Colonel]

56. Delete.

Wrong place.

[tigereye]

39. Anne Hathaway is wonderfully gracious and so funny!

[blogslut]

40. Andrew Sorkin is doing battle with the orchestra

Sorkin wins!

[pokerfan]

41. Charlie Sheen joke!

James Franco in drag. :rofl:

[underpants]

62. That was funny "I just got a text message from Charlie Sheen"

[Supply Side Jesus]

42. hell ya! Christian Bale!!!

a well deserved win!

[NuclearDem]

43. So unusual hearing him with his accent

Definitely well-deserved though :)

[Darth_Kitten]

45. Odd, he has a red beard and black hair?

Is he a natural redhead? :shrug:

hmmm.

[Supply Side Jesus]

49. Didn't he have reddish hair in Empire of the Sun?

think so.....hold over from his youth prehaps

[IntravenousDemilo]

183. It was a loaner from Conan. n/m

[Graybeard]

47. Las Vegas took bets on who would cry.

Who bet on Christian Bale? He broke up thanking his wife and daughter.
Very touching.

[The Backlash Cometh]

99. Do you think he got dissed when he gave his friend a plug?

[Darth_Kitten]

44. hope Annette Benning wins for Best Actress...

just don't like Natalie Portman. :(

Well, here's to hope. :(

[siligut]

46. Is that really Christian Bale's accent?

I know is English, but this sounds so fake. Like he is trying to sound backstreet or something.

[RichGirl]

48. He was featured in a Biography recently....

Yup...that's his actual accent.

[siligut]

54. Thank you ;) nt

[underpants]

59. I thought the same thing but apparently so. Born in Wales.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Bale

[liberalpragmatist]

146. Welsh

nt

[Darth_Kitten]

176. Isn't he originally from South Africa?

:shrug:

[Darth_Kitten]

177. Isn't he originally from South Africa?

:shrug:

[NuclearDem]

178. His father was South African

But Christian was born in Wales.

[NuclearDem]

50. Social Network for Original Score? WTF?

[Supply Side Jesus]

52. for real...

:wtf:

[pokerfan]

70. it's been doing quite well

* Boston Society of Film Critics (31st BSFC Awards): Best Use of Music in Film
* Los Angeles Film Critics Association (36th LAFCA Awards): Best Music/Score
* Las Vegas Film Critics Society (14th LVFCSA Sierra Awards): Best Score

[liberalhistorian]

190. I know, ya gotta be kidding me!

Guess they thought they had to throw it something.

[Supply Side Jesus]

51. Best score...really?

disappointing....

Inception's dragged me deeper into the movie more so than i can remember...

[NuclearDem]

53. Me too...

Hans Zimmer deserved it this year...

[Phoonzang]

55. Inception should have won best Soundtrack. Well Tron Legacy should have...but wasn't nominated.

[Haole Girl]

57. Why is Inception winning so many Oscars?

I thought it was very predictable... and whaaaay too long.

[Supply Side Jesus]

63. cuz it' the Best Movie this year....

but that's my opinion...

[Haole Girl]

64. I knew 1/2 way into it exactly how it would end

Maybe it's just me. :crazy:

[Supply Side Jesus]

72. if you know Nolan

then u have an good hunch were it'll go

[NuclearDem]

68. Technical awards mostly

It didn't win original screenplay, original score, and it sure won't win best picture.

It's won sound and visual awards, but that's all.

[FVZA_Colonel]

58. Hey Academy, thanks for the True Grit spoiler.

Hadn't seen it yet, you assholes.

[Supply Side Jesus]

65. LoL

:rofl:

[Haole Girl]

84. LOL!

Sorry, but that really was funny.









:hide:

[NuclearDem]

87. The ship sinks

Oh wait wrong movie sorry

[FVZA_Colonel]

89. I kind of walked into that, didn't I?

[underpants]

60. Did Christian Bale forget his wife's name?

My wife says no but I think from her expression that he did.

[Graybeard]

67. No. He was choking up.

Trying not to cry.

[RichGirl]

69. He did mention his wife.

[fishwax]

86. lol -- that's what I thought too

at first anyway, though after reflection it did seem like he was choking up.

[underpants]

61. "once again the Wolver to my ween"

:rofl:

[RichGirl]

66. Gary Rizzo...sound winner...

Mentioned UNION and got applause. I think he's the third one to have mentioned union.

[Darth_Kitten]

71. Oh, my God, Cate Blanchett's dress....

:rofl:

I'm being very shallow tonight.

[pokerfan]

73. I think it was a sly joke

after all, she was presenting best costume design. :rofl:

[underpants]

74. My wife says it is a catastrophy

we saw it on a red carpet show earlier
I am expecting a puppet show to appear

[siligut]

83. "I am expecting a puppet show to appear"

:rofl: I didn't see it at first, but you are so right!

[krispos42]

124. Sweater puppets?

:D

[liberalhistorian]

191. LOL, that's a perfect

description of it!

[Scooter24]

110. It's one thing to wear...

Givenchy prêt-à-porter and hope to God you aren't put on someone's worst dressed list but to wear Givenchy Haute Couture is just asking for it lol

[NuclearDem]

75. Obama likes As Time Goes By

:)

[blogslut]

76. Heehee

Obama & Kevin Spacey for the best song dealio!

[FVZA_Colonel]

78. Spacey does have a very nice singing voice.

[FVZA_Colonel]

77. Ok, I'm sorry, but I can't understand what the fuck Randy Newman is singing.

To go from Spacey to this...

[Phoonzang]

79. I really wish he would retire. Now. Please.

[FVZA_Colonel]

80. Randy Newman, singing about what he sees.

LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT! LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT!

[Phoonzang]

111. I was just thinking of that scene..... nt

[NuclearDem]

81. It's a story bout fwiendship with music by me!

Bout a bear and a bunny, and intheendthelittlebunnysfamilydiesbutthebearbecomeshisnewfamily. Something like that!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44uUQpg3UHU

[Haole Girl]

88. I can't stand Randy Newman

Think I've never forgiven him for "Short People."

Someone should write an "Ugly People" song in his honor! lol

[Orrex]

173. I wish that I could get fame and fortune for singing the same damn song for 40 years

[liberalhistorian]

193. Umm........you DO understand that it was a total

satire/parody poking fun at the prejudices against short people, right? It was NOT for real. Sheesh.

[liberalhistorian]

194. Umm........you DO understand that it was a total

satire/parody poking fun at the prejudices against short people, right? It was NOT for real. Sheesh.

[FVZA_Colonel]

82. Kevin Spacey to host next year.

Seriously, for me he's one of those guys whose never had a role I hated, even if I disliked the film it was in overall.

[NuclearDem]

91. Auto-tuning

:rofl:

[Supply Side Jesus]

92. Does he own a shirt?

Woody wants to know!!

[NuclearDem]

98. He's so sexy without a shiiiirrrrttttttt

[FVZA_Colonel]

93. "He doesn't have a shiiiiirrrrrrtttttt!"

[Darth_Kitten]

94. now it's Oprah....help me.

:(

[nolabear]

95. Okay, that cracked me up.

[fishwax]

117. that was funny

:rofl:

[FVZA_Colonel]

97. Alright, Inside Job!

The merits of everything else aside, that just has to win.

[FVZA_Colonel]

100. Fuck... yes!

[NuclearDem]

101. Holy shit! Did you hear that acceptance speech?!

[Supply Side Jesus]

102. awesome

:applause:

[nolabear]

103. I heard it...and I agree with it!

[RichGirl]

104. And he got applause...not that uncomfortable silence.

[RichGirl]

105. And he got applause...not that uncomfortable silence.

[Graybeard]

107. I hope this win means more people will see the film.

Maybe public outrage will bring justice.

[RichGirl]

109. Public outrage doesn't have any bite to it.

It requires people taking to the street...WALL STREET. Instead of a government shut down...a Wall Street shut down, by having so many people protesting that no one could get to work...and no one could ring the opening bell.

[fishwax]

114. great stuff!

:kick:

[nolabear]

108. Billy Crystal! Where the heck has he been?

[RichGirl]

112. Apparently in his plastic surgeons office getting treatment.

Why can't the men at least age gracefully???

[NuclearDem]

115. Ugh, Randy Newman...

[nolabear]

116. I can't quite get behind Gwyneth Paltrow's singing.

She's not bad, but if she wasn't her I don't think she'd get the attention.

[nolabear]

118. Okay, I confess here and now, I like Randy Newman.

He's funny and pushes the envelope in his curmudgeonly way. And I like his musical style. It's not cutting edge but I like it.

[FVZA_Colonel]

119. Seriously, if you aren't following Norm McDonald on Twitter, do so now.

http://twitter.com/normmacdonald#

That man has been on fire tonight.

[nolabear]

120. Must be popular; I can't get it to load.

He's probably sitting somewhere in his underwear. Sure, it's easy to be funny then.

[liberalhistorian]

195. Like he's some great comic

genius to begin with. NOT.

[pokerfan]

148. Brutal

purple is very pregnanting

by the time the dead guy montage starts kirk douglas will be in it

inception. i fell asleep in the movie woke up and it made no difference

when hairplugs met sally

so massive strokes have no effect on comic timing

[NuclearDem]

121. Oh god, I forgot...Leslie Nielsen...

:cry:

And Irvin Kershner too...

[FVZA_Colonel]

122. Man, if they have Kirk Douglas walk out at the end of this, turn to the audience, and say

"I beat'em all!", this will redeem the entire night.

[Phoonzang]

123. At least they got rid of the applause. It was always a popularity contest...

and inappropriate.

[FVZA_Colonel]

125. That was good, but they skipped Peter Graves.

PETER FUCKING GRAVES!

[nolabear]

126. What happened to Franco> She seems to be doing the whole show.

[nolabear]

128. Wait...didn't Hathaway intro Swank who intro'd the previous director who intor'd the winner?

[NuclearDem]

129. Whoa...Inception-style mindscrew

[NuclearDem]

127. Tom Hooper gets Director...

[FVZA_Colonel]

131. He kind of looks like a British James Cameron.

[nolabear]

130. This is such a Mom night. Love it.

[Darth_Kitten]

132. Nice little story behind that director's win.

:)

[NuclearDem]

133. Whoa..some really big name presenters there...

[nolabear]

134. Holy crap Eli Wallach's alive!!!

[Graybeard]

138. And still making movies.

The Ghost Writer and Wall Street 2 both made last year.

[nolabear]

135. I keep thinking James Franco's channeling James Dean.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

152. He looks stoned

The dude is as exciting as wallpaper, and I'm tired of the "Wooooohooo" by Hathaway everytime someone comes out.

[NuclearDem]

154. Channeling Saul Silver a little bit

:P

[nolabear]

155. I like her. She's young and cute and enthusiastic. And she can act like crazy.

That cuts a lot of ice with me.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

158. She lost me when she said "It's cool to just breath the same air as her....

....Oprah Winfrey!!" without a hint of comic sarcasm.

139. Natalie Portman...always gorgeous

[nolabear]

140. Natalie P. Pregnancy looks really good on her.

[Darth_Kitten]

141. is her speech over yet?

:)

[XemaSab]

142. "And I'd like to thank Nga Tranh who did my nails this afternoon..."

:P

[FVZA_Colonel]

144. "And the craft-services guys,"

"those fruit trays were amazing!"

[nolabear]

151. Hey, if I was craft services I'd be delighted!

Imagine, something to talk about for the rest of your life, a shout-out at The Oscars.

[Darth_Kitten]

161. I missed the speech.........darn...

:( really, darn.

[NuclearDem]

143. And here comes Colin Firth's award...

[FVZA_Colonel]

145. If The Dude wins this, I will be amazed.

Incredibly pleased, but amazed.

[Phoonzang]

147. I'm pulling for the dude

[nolabear]

149. Best actor...Colin Firth!

[NuclearDem]

150. Some amazing competition this year though

But I'll give it to Colin Firth...I haven't even seen The King's Speech, but I got misty-eyed just watching that clip.

[nolabear]

153. He's really, really good. But yes, it's a great field. No blue people, either!

[Darth_Kitten]

157. HE OOZES CLASS AND SEXINESS...DID I MENTION THAT?

:D

[Darth_Kitten]

156. OMIGOD, THIS MADE MY WHOLE NIGHT! I LOVE YOU COLIN!

Ring me up, luv. :D

[BuelahWitch]

167. YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

:bounce:

[NuclearDem]

159. Steven Spielberg...introduced with some Jurassic Park music...

Love it :D

[blogslut]

160. Good point, Mr. Spielberg

A classic is a classic is a classic....

[FVZA_Colonel]

162. Christ, playing The King's Speech over all of the others.

It was a good movie, but so many of the other nominees were better.

[blogslut]

166. Haven't seen it

But I liked that bit. I got my movie clip montage with narration and bonus Beethoven!

[JCMach1]

182. Oscar voters need to get over their anglophilia!

Or are they just always getting it wrong these days.

Social Network, Black Swan and True Grit were superior films

[NuclearDem]

163. And it goes to....The King's Speech!

[nolabear]

164. And the Oscar goes to...The King's Speech!

[Phoonzang]

165. Wow...they didn't telegraph that win at all....

:eyes:

[charlie and algernon]

169. seriously, that was so annoying that the speech was played over all the other movies

I knew the other movies were screwed at that point.

[Darth_Kitten]

170. It was a good film!

You don't have to like the Queen or the Monarchy to enjoy it.

It had a decent, uplifting theme. :)

[FVZA_Colonel]

180. I don't think anyone would really deny that it was a great movie, because it truly was.

But looking at films like 127 Hours, Black Swan, True Grit and the Social Network, it just doesn't seem like it was really the best film.

But Collin Firth absolutely deserved the Best Actor Oscar; there were a lot of great performances this year, but there was never a question that he would win, or that he deserved to.

[Darth_Kitten]

198. King's Speech far outclasses Black Swan.

Black Swan was a mess.

[Darth_Kitten]

171. It was a good film!

You don't have to like the Queen or the Monarchy to enjoy it.

It had a decent, uplifting theme. :)

[nolabear]

168. OMG they're going to make me cry. What gorgeous children.

[Graybeard]

172. Thanks for the thread underpants.

It was fun.

[Scooter24]

174. A great night!

I did pretty good this year on my predictions- 18 right, 6 wrong

Correctly predicted:
Best Picture- The King's Speech
Lead Actor- Colin Firth
Supporting Actor- Christian Bale
Lead Actress- Natalie Portman
Supporting Actress- Melissa Leo
Animated Feature- Toy Story 3
Documentary Feature- Inside Job
Documentary Short Subject- Strangers No More
Film Editing- The Social Network
Foreign Language Film- In A Better World (Denmark)
Makeup- The Wolfman
Music Original Score- The Social Network
Music Original Song- "We Belong Together" (Toy Story 3)
Sound Editing- Inception
Sound Mixing- Inception
Visual Effects- Inception
Writing Adapted Screenplay- The Social Network
Writing Original Screenplay- The King's Speech

The prediction's I got wrong:
Art Direction- The King's Speech
Cinematography- True Grit
Costume Design- The King's Speech
Directing- David Fincher (The Social Network)
Short Animated Film- Day & Night
Short Film Live Action- Na Wewe

I thought this year's awards were very well done and felt fresher than the years past. I also believed the Academy got it wrong with the Cinematography and Directing awards this year. True Grit was an amazingly gorgeous film and David Fincher's directorial work in The Social Network was paramount to the film's success. I had a feeling Art Direction and Costume Design would have gone to Alice in Wonderland but went with King's Speech because of past precedent. I didn't get a chance to see any of the short films this year so those were true guesses.

As for the ceremony itself- I enjoyed the set design and flow of the show. The ending was fantastic with the chorus and bringing out all of the night's winners. Also enjoyed seeing the candid backstage moments shot by camera's and phones and posted online through various media. The only thing I would change is ditching the dual hosts and stick with the single host.

[cbayer]

186. Very well done indeed.

:toast:

[LynneSin]

175. Reviews over at E-Online already call Hathaway & Franco some of the worst hosts

And made a comment about the hopes that Billy Crystal would have stayed out on stage and finish up that train wreck.

and :wtf:

Each year I enjoy when they give out those 'Governor's Awards' to distinguished members of Hollywood but instead it was a 2 minute clip hosted by Annette Benning. So instead of seeing the career highlights from such amazing talents like Francis Ford Coppala (he got the Irving Thalberg) and Eli Wallach (he got something else), we got to see 6 minutes of Oscar's celebration of the Auto-Tuner using a movie that received many razzing nominations, that Twilight garbage.

[NuclearDem]

179. Alright, so to sum it up:

Franco and Hathaway were kinda eh. Wasn't surprised The King's Speech did as well as it did. Disappointed that Inception didn't win for original score. Happy for Toy Story 3. Seeing Kirk Douglas was a huge plus. Celine Dion + remembering that Leslie Nielsen died nearly brought tears to my eyes.

[highplainsdem]

181. Roger Ebert's review of the Oscars, on Twitter:

ebertchicago Roger Ebert
The worst Oscarcast I've seen, and I go back awhile. Some great winners, a nice distribution of awards, but the show? Dead. In. The. Water.
58 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply

[liberalhistorian]

196. That just shows what a boring washed-up fuddy-duddy

he really is, frankly. He's OLD and doesn't like any kind of change or difference.

[liberalhistorian]

184. I am SOOO happy that King's Speech won;

I absolutely loved the movie, and Colin Firth, too. I'm equally happy that the damned Social Network didn't win. I was worried at first when it won for editing, since the movie that wins in that category tends to take home the Big One.

[IntravenousDemilo]

188. Was James Franco riding the Pineapple Express tonight? I've seen exactly those eyes on baked people.

192. God, he had to have been.

Sometimes, it really seemed like he was toking up each time before he had to come on stage.

199. Only best picture nonimees I saw were Toy Story 3 and The Social Network

I liked both, but Toy Story 3 more. Thought The Social Network focused on conflict/the trial so much that it was one-dimensional. But still enjoyable. I'll have to see The King's Speech.

As for the show, I think Anne Hathaway has comedic talent. There's definitely been funnier material for the hosts, but have to give the young people a chance to host.

200. 200th response..

oh, Social Network was over-rated. Inception was a masterpiece in storytelling. Toy Story 3 made me cry.
Black Swan was far better than I expected. The Fighter was great and inspiring. I look forward to The King's Speech.
