[Lock Jaw]

Surprised that Up got a best picture nomination. Pretty obvious that its gonna win animated feature with that in mind.

[Indifferent Clox]

fantstic mr fox is better. But glad to see up get the BIG nod

[Jeritron]

Two Best Picture nominees at this years Oscars ended with MECH BATTLES

[Jeritron]

Let that sink in.


I support the 10 picture nomination system, if only for it's ability to showcase more Mech Battles at the Academy Awards

[RoXer]

Two Best Picture nominees at this years Oscars ended with MECH BATTLES

Probly the greatest moment in Precious.

[Buzzkill]

For some reason I feel like Avatar is gonna take best picture.

After all, Titanic won it....

[thedamndest]

If they had stuck to the original five movie format I think the list would have been:
Avatar
The Blind Side
The Hurt Locker
Precious
Up in the Air

[Jeritron]

No way on The Blind Side

[Jeritron]

I can't believe it's there now

[Jeritron]

need more Mech Battles

[jerichoholicninja]

Precious better not win. I don't need to see disgustingly obese people on my TV.

[Droford]

I cant wait for this:

And the Oscar for best picture goes to..

"Up..(WILD CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)..in the Air (BOOS)"

Surprised that Up got a best picture nomination. Pretty obvious that its gonna win animated feature with
that in mind.

What Ive heard is that people who would vote for it as best animated picture won't vote it for best picture and vice versa, so its vote will likely get split both ways and not win either. Up should win best Animated but I would take Coraline as well.

Waltz is a lock for Supporting Actor. Would love to see Tarantino win best director and/or Screenplay as IB has no chance of winning best picture.

[Triple A]

Fucking horrible.

This is probably the worst year of nominees I can remember.

[Droford]

Fucking horrible.

This is probably the worst year of nominees I can remember.

Which is funny because this is a rare year where Ive seen at least a handful of the movies involved, but fits well with the "2009 was the worst year in movie history" theme going on.

[Droford]

Was happy Waltz won. Up won for Best Animated which I can deal with, I guess.

[Blitz]

Waltz's speech was so perfectly charming.

[Droford]

the John Hughes tribute was awesome.

[Jeritron]

wow John Hughes tribute....

[Droford]

Is it me, or is Steve Martin trying way too hard to be funny?

[Blitz]

Martin and Baldwin have absolutely killed at every turn tonight.

[Droford]

The logorama guy had a good line (3000 unofficial sponsors/no logos were harmed) and then ruined it with "you can applause.." all the people he named.

[Blitz]

lol wait what just happened there?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol wait what just happened there?

Not real sure....

And I hate Ben Stiller.

[Droford]

OMG STAR TREK WINS AN OSCAR

[Droford]

The Precious guy should have prepared more for his speech, I mean, obvious it was going to win.

[RoXer]

Why is Lenny Kravitz at every award show?

[Droford]

Totally needed a "I DONT SHAVE MY LEGS! FUCK YOU ALL!" spaz out moment.

Good speech though.

[Jeritron]

wow to that pompous costume designer. pissed me off greatly

[Blitz]

wow to that pompous costume designer. pissed me off greatly
Yeah she started out a bitch then made that nice dedication then went back to bitch.

[Droford]

wow this is pretty surreal right now

[Blitz]

I just saw the Leperchaun on an Academy Awards show. Welcome to bizarro world.

[Jeritron]

Yea that horror tribute was top notch

[Jeritron]

except for the brief shot of Twilight. Not just because I hate Twilight, but does it really fall into the horror category?

[Droford]

except for the brief shot of Twilight. Not just because I hate Twilight, but does it really fall into the horror category?
It was included in the vampires portion, because usually vampires are scary.

[Jeritron]

I know that. Just seemed out of place, but it's obviously because it's vampires and they're trying to appeal to the masses.

What I'm saying is, just because a movie contains horror mainstays doesn't make it a horror movie. There weren't any shots from Ghostbusters and the like.

Then again, there was a shot from Beetlejuice and Little Shop of Horrors. Pretty sure those were just to get Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in though.

Doesn't matter. Just waxing horror

[thedamndest]

Demi Moore introducing those we have lost.

[Jeritron]

Demi Moore introducing the phenomenon of getting hotter the older she gets

[Jon Kano]

Demi Moore introducing those we have lost.

'Ghost' related?

[thedamndest]

When is the last time Demi Moore was relevant?

[Jon Kano]

Striptease

[thedamndest]

Tarantino does not clean up well at all.

[Droford]

[thedamndest]

Hate this shit of having people stand around and talk about the nominees.

[Droford]

I feel bad for the two that get talked about by guys when the other 3 get the hot women.

[Jeritron]

Shawshank Reunion

[thedamndest]

Followed up by SWAT reunion.

[Droford]

Im officially calling BS

[thedamndest]

There was a joke in the opening segment about how he was going to win. You didn't see this coming?

[Droford]

There was a joke in the opening segment about how he was going to win. You didn't see this coming?

No, I got the idea that it was coming but still..

[Jeritron]

You crazy Spicoli, that light was red

[Loose Cannon]

COME ON SANDRA

[Loose Cannon]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Nark Order]

Forrest Whitaker looks like Steve Urkel right now.

[Loose Cannon]

:love:

[Blitz]

ROFL I think Sandra Bullock just snubbed Meryl Streep

[thedamndest]

Loved her in Speed 2: Cruise Control.

[RoXer]

bunch of cockshit

[Jeritron]

lol LC

[Droford]

She owes Michael Oher a big one!

lol

[Jeritron]

I wish Keanu Reeves presented and Dennis Hopper played the music on them

[Loose Cannon]

POP QUIZ MERYL STREEP....WHO'S THE GREATEST ACTRESS OF 2010???

[thedamndest]

That award will look great in the Monster Garage.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Waltz won, so I really don't care about anything else</font>

[Jeritron]

I think Oscar could use a gnarly double exhaust and some airbrushed flames

[Loose Cannon]

Can't wait for Taken to win Best Picture

[Juan]

[thedamndest]

Women vs. Black vs. three white men...who will walk out with the Oscar?

[Loose Cannon]

If this was a WCW 1998 crowd right now, the fans would be going ape shit for Kathleen Bigalow

[Jeritron]

Her husband Deuce is going to have a wild night

[thedamndest]

If this was WCW 1998 right now the Oscar would be on a pole.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm sure the troops will sleep will tonight knowing Kathryn Bigelow dedicated her award to them.</font>

[Droford]

Wow..just throw it out there why dont you.

[Triple A]

"argh" @ the hurt locker

[Loose Cannon]

wtf just happened

[thedamndest]

Really didn't fuck around with that Best Picture award.

[Loose Cannon]

there was no build up to that at all.

[thedamndest]

That's why Tom Hanks is the Academy Governor.

[Jeritron]

If this was WCW 1998 right now the Oscar would be on a pole.

forklift

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I feel as though every year there's just one movie that the Academy gets a hard-on for and so they win most of the awards by default for some of the small shit</font>

[Loose Cannon]

Hotel for Dogs got snubbed

[Droford]

If this was 1998 WCW, Avatar would come out of the crowd and wack them all in the head with a steel chair and take the Oscar.

[Nark Order]

Apparently I need to see the Hurt Locker.

[Triple A]

Can't fucking believe this Hurt Locker shit, feels like I am in a "Kafkaesque world" right now. This doesn't make any sense at all. Almost walked out of that shitty movie. adsflkjafjdsl

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Why the fuck was there absolutely zero buildup for Best Picture? It's 1998 WCW where they crammed it all into the final few seconds. I was expecting to hear Tony Schiavone say "We're out of time!"</font>

[Jeritron]

I feel like it had to do with the fact that the show was running way over. They probably panicked and decided to end the show right then and there.

BRING IN TOM HANKS!

[RoXer]

The biggest surprise of the night is learning Triple A didn't like The Hurt Locker.

[RoXer]

YO was my girl Evangaline Lily on stage when presented with best picture? I missed it.

[Skippord]

Tom Hanks does not fuck around

[Skippord]

Jeff Bridges won and Avatar lost

good day for me

[Droford]

A ton of people are pissed that they included Michael Jackson in the "In Memoriam" part but somehow forgot Farrah Fawcett. Roger Ebert even twittered "No Farrah Fawcett in the memorial tribute? Major fail". To be honest, I didnt even notice.

[thedamndest]

That ought to do it for the Michael Jackson tributes now.

[Droford]
