Awards Season 2008

I'm assuming Departures was about the Holocaust?

[Barmy]

The Departures is a masterpiece explication of the slavery/aliens/robot/holocaust conundrum. As a synechdoche of 20-teens America, it is a worthy pseudo-sequel to Sugarland Express.

[Fiery Angel]

This 5-presenter idea is a total disaster.

[knives]

Cocksucker! I knew Boyle was gonna win, but still, Van Sant was more creative and less flashy.

[Antoine Doinel]

OMG. I just tuned in.....have the previous actor categories been done in this completely awkward way of actors giving each other verbal handjobs?

[Highway 61]

This 5-presenter idea is a total disaster.

No shit. It's like a goddamn group therapy session.

And Christ, Sophia Loren looks fucked up.

[Fiery Angel]

A standing O for Winslet! Um....why?

OMG. I just tuned in.....have the previous actor categories been done in this completely awkward way of actors giving each other verbal handjobs?

Yes--all of 'em.

[domino harvey]

This is one of those times I hate being right

[Fiery Angel]

After that awful, self-serving speech by Winslet, they should take the damn Oscar back!

[Antoine Doinel]

Jesus, this five presenter thing is terrible. I'm only watching my second category of the night and my stomach is turning. No wonder presenters were dropping out anonymously last week.

[domino harvey]

And thus concludes a perfect storm of Oscar worthlessness. Name a worse year for nominees and especially winners, I don't think it can be done

[dx23]

Officially the worst year yet.

[Fiery Angel]

Nice to see Penn win, but agreed on the whole, this whole evening was a joke. (And I'm writing this before the inevitable Slumdog win for Best Pic.)

[Antoine Doinel]

I wish the music would come on and cut off the presenters.

Ugh, the way this night is going, The Reader is going to win Best Picture and Harvey Weinstein is going to become the most annoyingly powerful person in Hollywood.

[Fiery Angel]

Cutting clips from older films into the current Best Picture nominees is only the latest atrocity tonight.

Ugh, the way this night is going, The Reader is going to win Best Picture and Harvey Weinstein is going to become the most annoyingly powerful person in Hollywood.

Um--no chance.

[knives]

You say that now.

[Antoine Doinel]

Danny Boyle's worst film won Best Picture. La dee fucking dah. Only twelve months until next year's annual disappointment and like a chump I'm gonna tune in again.

[knives]

Are you a The Beach apologists too?

[dx23]

Danny Boyle's worst film won Best Picture. La dee fucking dah. Only twelve months until next year's annual disappointment and like a chump I'm gonna tune in again.

We all chumps Antoine. We all are.

[flyonthewall2983]

Officially the worst year yet.

Didn't someone say this last year too?

[domino harvey]

No, because last year was easily one of the best ever

[knives]

Danny Boyle's worst film won Best Picture. La dee fucking dah. Only twelve months until next year's annual disappointment and like a chump I'm gonna tune in again.

We all chumps Antoine. We all are.

Not me, I watched Wings.

[Jeff]

Not me, I watched Wings.
