How much do I detest the Oscars?

With the crappy preformances and bullshit opinions choosing the winners their are plenty of reasons not to watch the Oscars, but with the war it's going to be a fucking anti-war rally with lots of actors/resses thinking because we pay 6.50 to seem them act that we give a shit what they think.

So I've instead decided to watch Jurassic Park 2. Yes thats how much I hate the Oscars.

I'm not watching them this year, I don't want to see Peter Jackson and company get screwed over the second year in a row. That said, when they finally do honor him (which will likely be next year), I guess I'll tune in.

I've banned all awards shows for the last 10 years or so except for the Junos since I get to see hot Canadian singer chicks perform on that show. The rest of them are boring industry wankfests which are worse than soap operas. In general, awards shows suck ass.

The Oscars are on tonight?

Hmm

I second that. Screw the oscars.

I was thinking. If, gods forbid, a terrorist were to ever manage to bomb the oscars, they would manage to hit most of our celebrities. Man, that would be strange.

Award Shows are one of a long list of TV bullshit that's Verboten in my household. Fuck the Oscars! SCI-FI UBER ALLES! (The genre, not the channel)

Man that would kick ass. That way I won't have to hear the whiny bitches doing their PETA, Save the World, Let's all have peace, we're all special speeches. Good riddance to celebrity endorsements and stupid cause of the week shit. Seeing that my fave movie people will NEVER be at the Oscars I won't lose a damn thing if the awards get bombed and they all die.

As long as you get Halle Berry out of there first before you blow the building sky high that's all I care about.

Have a very nice day.

Michael Moore. Bowling for Columbine won Best documentary.

He went up there, said some thank yous,

THEN STARTED SPOUTING POLITICAL BS!! SAYING STUFF LIKE SHAME ON BUSH, WAR ON IRAQ, YADDA YADDA YADDA!!!!

The only good thing is that some people were booing him, and the next presenter made a joke, "Now the teamsters are forcing Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo."

And Eminem just won Best song.

I wish U2 had won that one.

Just like Shinova has pointed out...one of the many reasons I avoid hearing what celebrities think and the award shows that present them...beside I can look at the tabloids for the next skimpy costume some up and coming is wearing.

WTF? LoTR wasn't nominated for best adapted screenplay.

Have a very nice day.

Well duh.
It was only based on the best book of all time, and was possibly one of the best movies of all time, so of course they aren't gonna pick it.

Glad to see that no one else wants to see the PETA/Peacenik/Tree-hugging/Self-professed-political-experts doing a great job of making themselves look stupid in that wankfest...

Anyone notice how doing all that crap is now the 'cool' thing in Hollywood?

Oh yes. And come to think of it, terrorists bombing the Oscars would at least prevent a load of good actors making crappy sequels...

Who wants to watch the Oscars anyway?

I only unmuted it when Steve Martin was on. God, that man is funny.

Apparently LotR wasn't even nominated for Adapted Screenplay, or Cinemetography.

Yes, and he was pretty damn funny.

Peter O'Toole's speech was the best... but I'm sure you all knew that already.

I honestly can't remember ever watching the Oscars. Something about watching Hollywood types pat each other on the back and then fire off-handed (or not so off-handed) political barbs that just doesn't appeal to me.

The reason that Hollywood stars make a big show out of promoting their political views is not that they actually care, but as a way of getting even more attention. As they didn't have enough....

Well, that's usually the case. There's possibly some exceptions out there.
