Awards Season 2011

[knives]

I would. Hats are cool.

[Brian C]

Only four awards left and this thing isn't 2.5 hours old yet. Either we have an agonizing number of montages and musical tributes ahead of us or they're going to finish before the allotted time.

I love how readable this thread is to people not watching the Oscars right now.

[domino harvey]

Oh shit, Directing already?

[Brian C]

What now? Director before actors?

[domino harvey]

If the Frenchman wins it, the Artist is in the bag. If it's Scorsese, we have a ballgame

[Brian C]

What if it's Malick?

[domino harvey]

What if it's Malick?

Then the Mayans were right

[domino harvey]

YESSSSSSS

[Brian C]

Oh well.

[HistoryProf]

Who wears a hat to the Oscars, dude

[domino harvey]

Geoffrey Rush is Geoffrey Rush, tho

[knives]

Oh well.

Ditto.

[Brian C]

I'm glad to see that James Earl Jones is well. I thought he was in poor health for some reason.

[HistoryProf]

Why did Oprah get the extra emphatic intro over James Motherfucking Earl Jones?!??!?!

[knives]

I hope he manages a centennial. He just seems like a great person.

[lacritfan]

Fuck. I woulda killed to see James Earl Jones receive an honorary Oscar. You suck Academy.

Worth repeating. Yes, we technically just "saw" it, but I mean live at the actual awards and not some dinner months ago.

[HistoryProf]

Geoffrey Rush is Geoffrey Rush, tho

he really is. rocked that lid.

[Brian C]

Any possibility that Hugo still wins? I mean, I can see the case for it - voters liked the novelty of the whole silent movie thing, but really liked Hugo better. Reasonably plausible, or wishful thinking?

What's that, wishful thinking? Oh well. Sorry. Never mind.

[domino harvey]

It's possible for Hugo to win, sure. But it looks like the only chance for a true Oscar shocker is Best Actress-- would love to see Williams or Rooney Mara sweep in

[Brian C]

This is excessively tasteful.

[knives]

It's still going to manage some crying for me i...and Peter Falk.

[Brian C]

Anyone see that Mac&Cheese commerical? Was that Seymour Cassel?

[Feego]

I'm pretty sure it was.
