Awards Season 2009

[Highway 61]

It'd be hilarious is Reitman won, just to fuck with everyone

I thought it was funny as hell that the the only guy they got to praise him was his own father.

[Jeff]

They did not just fucking play "I Am Woman!"

[Highway 61]

Wait . . . was Tom Hanks so sauced that he forgot to read the list of nominees?

[mfunk9786]

Anthony Mackie, the guy no one fucking thought to nominate.

[Feego]

KB is pretty damned hot. definitely the hottest Best Director ever. No offense Marty.

Uh, Kevin Costner. Hello?

[domino harvey]

Haha, that rush for Best Pic was like writing a long winding love letter and then getting to the end of the page and rushing to actually fit in what you were bothering to say.

Can you believe she's 58?

[HistoryProf]

@ Tom Hanks doing that in 12 seconds

wait, wut? seriously? Wow.

[domino harvey]

I can't wait to buy Up in the Air on Tuesday and spite-watch it

[mfunk9786]

To me, since Fantastic Mr. Fox or The Informant! weren't nominated, The Hurt Locker was the best of the best picture nominees, so I'm more than a little satisfied with that. But I'm still pretty exhausted by what a crappy show it was.

Right now James Cameron is looking over at 48 year old Suzy Amis and thinking, "Man, I really fucked up..."

[Cold Bishop]

And now, thankfully, we can put the terrible noughties to rest. Here's hoping the American cinema fares better this decade.

Monique just said "Aks" in her Q&A backstage. Truly oscar worthy.

Cue Neil LaBute.

[Fiery Angel]

I always thought it was spelled "ax"

With the right role at the right time, Traci Lords maybe...

[xavier110]

Told y'all The Secrets in Their Eyes would win.

[Brian C]

On the bright side, the Academy has now gone four straight years without awarding Best Picture to the worst of the nominees. That's got to count for something.

[Brian C]

Told y'all The Secrets in Their Eyes would win.

Yeah, I knew Haneke was in trouble when Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't come out to present the award.

[knives]

What was worse than Slumdog last year?

[Brian C]

What was worse than Slumdog last year?

I really hated The Reader.

[flyonthewall2983]

Focus positive energy on next year's Oscars.

It's an awards show, not the Chicago Cubs.

[j99]

anyone seen The Secret in Their Eyes? should it have even been in the final five let alone win?

I'm intrigued. In fact the nominations for Foreign Language are a great deal more leftfield than they were for the Baftas; you would expect it to be the other way around? I really expected A Prophet to walk it. The one big surprise of the evening.
