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

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

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

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

Probly the greatest moment in Precious.

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

After all, Titanic won it....

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

No way on The Blind Side

I can't believe it's there now

need more Mech Battles

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

I cant wait for this:

And the Oscar for best picture goes to..

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

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.

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.

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

Waltz's speech was so perfectly charming.

the John Hughes tribute was awesome.

wow John Hughes tribute....

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

Martin and Baldwin have absolutely killed at every turn tonight.

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.

lol wait what just happened there?

Not real sure....

And I hate Ben Stiller.

OMG STAR TREK WINS AN OSCAR

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

Why is Lenny Kravitz at every award show?

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

Good speech though.

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.

wow this is pretty surreal right now

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

Yea that horror tribute was top notch

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.

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

Demi Moore introducing those we have lost.

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

'Ghost' related?

When is the last time Demi Moore was relevant?
