Topic: The Oscars make me puke

The great Hollywood Circle Jerk is on tonight.  Even my wife is caught up with the crap.

Trying to find somthing that is just a hair (0.0000000000001%) better to watch.

So far I've found an old show called "Johny Socko and His Flying Robot" (hulu).  Can  anyone find anything worse than that but better than the oscars?

Maybe there's a golf game on ESPN Classics?

Re: The Oscars make me puke

I've been enjoying a worthless show called Jersey Shore on Hulu.  I think that might be what you're talking about

Ultraman could kick Johny Socko's robot's ass on a bad day.

Only oscar I cared about was Christoph Waltz, I'm glad he won it.

Re: The Oscars make me puke

I looked all over for a fishing show, but I fell asleep in the process and the frau grabbed the remote when I was out.

She had the Oscars on, I mangaged to find a book that I hadn't read recently (past 24 hours...)

Re: The Oscars make me puke

I haven't watched it in years, but I thought it was pretty funny last night. We flipped back and forth between it and a couple of other shows. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were pretty entertaining as cohosts, and they riffed on Meryl Streep constantly, which she seemed to take well. The stare-downs between Clooney and Baldwin were pretty funny too.

The end was kind of jarring. Tom Hanks nearly sprinted out onto the stage, ripped open the envelope for Best Picture, announced The Hurt Locket, and then they almost rolled the credits right there. They must really be on a hard-limit time-wise for these things now.

Amazing character.

I wasn't going to waste one second watching the hollywood airheads fellating each other.

Heh.  I'm guessing as soon as they realized they'd voted for what is arguably a pro-American, pro-Iraq-War movie (I didn't see it, but this is what I've heard) instead of the envirotwaddism of Avatar, they dropped the curtain fast and started prying fingernails off those responsible.

There was apparently *no* liberal moralizing, troop bashing, Bush hating or Obama worship either, amazingly enough.

Roger Simon thinks it potentially marks a really big change:

Re: The Oscars make me puke

Nah, Qwinn... I think it was definitely a timing issue. Steve Martin even quipped at the end that the ceremony went on so long, the movie, Avatar, now takes place in the past.

When Bigelow accepted her Best Director award, she specifically thanked the military for their work and sacrifice. Then during the Best Pic acceptance, she reiterated it and thanked everyone in uniform; police, firemen, etc... Maybe a little broad, but it's certainly better than bashing those serve.

Re: The Oscars make me puke

Watched Real Time with Bill Maher last night. He did his best to politicize the Oscars. He's a real douchebag.
