Whoever this woman is who won the costume award needs to get contact lenses or write on a large sized card. That was terrible. Woah! black people!!!

Ootek1 said...

Three 6 Mafia sighting!

KennyK said...

Jesus. Did she win an essay contest

Ootek1 said...

Wow! Obama has an opinion on _everything_.

twunch said...

Oh no!!! Kevin Spacy!! Doing a Kirk Douglass Imitation!!

twunch said...

Randy Newman, Kenny, has been writing the same song for 30 years. He's like Tom Waits on heavy anti-depressants.

KennyK said...

cool randy newman. gonna go take a shit for about 5 hours

twunch said...

Michael Caine could play Randy Newman. It would be awful but it could happen.

shelley said...

Whoa - I leave for one second and obama make an appearance. Kevin Spacey singing. I think the only reason he can do it is because there's more humor than duration. By the way, I started drinking and I hate Randy Newman. Sorry guys, just not my thing.

Raej said...

We're at the hour and a half mark and are just now getting to the Best Song nominee performances? God help us.....

Ootek1 said...

Randy Newman must have his own parking spot at the Academy Awards.

twunch said...

Currently my choice for comment of the night...
KennyK said...

Ootek1 said...

Thank God that's over.

Oh no, there are more songs.

shelley said...

randy newman is getting older by the minute. Is it necessary to do the entire song up for the award? How about just a collage of all of them?

KennyK said...

mandy more is wearing a flock of dead peacocks. where's your god now?

Ootek1 said...

Apparently Alan Menken is not dead. Who knew?

shelley said...

All the songs at the same time??? this can't be the best idea they've had. The idea of an original sing should really go away.

Ootek1 said...

We're on ABC and none of these songs have been song by Glee people. Someone is going to be fired for this.

twunch said...

There was just a little bit of C-Span with orchestral scoring. That's a very weird mashup.

shelley said...

Thank God Oprah is going to save us! She just comes for the gift basket.

Ootek1 said...

Someone just told me Glee is on FOX. I am fine with not knowing this.

KennyK said...

have there been any african americans on this broadcast? 2011 Oscars produced by Land's End.

twunch said...

Oh, can we talk about this horrible Adrian Brody commercial? I mean, it's been a long time since I've seen an actor so completely gross me out. He's totally disgusting, slimy, and advertising a beer I like. I just wish that people blamed him for the failure of King Kong and he got Benigni'ed.

shelley said...

I like stella and I do not see the appeal of adrien brody at all. Do girls swoon over him? This seems to all be a lie

KennyK said...

that was a fucking commercial for fancy feast!?

twunch said...

The commercials are at this point a relief. Not like Superbowls are a welcome distraction, but more like a chance for the pain of this antique ceremony to briefly stop.

Ootek1 said...

Just FYI: We've done 14 categories and there are still 10 left and the In Memoriam. I hope no one is planning on getting up early tomorrow.

twunch said...

Jake Gyllenhall! Our generation's answer to mayonnaise. Look at him. He looks like Donkey Kong's wimpy little brother.

Ootek1 said...

Amy Adams and Anne Hathaway should have a mouth off.

KennyK said...

lol @ jake gyllenhaal getting heckled
(that's the best attempt at spelling you're going to get)

twunch said...

@Matt- I'll bet you there are people pointing to that in Hollywood tonight. "Do you think there could be a vehicle for a lesbian sex scene between Amy Adams and Anne Hathaway?"

shelley said...

Short documentary film - I have no idea what I picked on the ballot, but if I'd known it was about kids I would have picked it. Also if I knew HBO had something to do with it.

KennyK said...

@Matt they look like a family of rogue Dementors. THAT'S TWO HARRY POTTER REFERENCES!)

twunch said...

It seems unfair that the live action short people get actual awards during the ceremony. I mean shouldn't they give these away before hand. In the mini-Oscars? Or are we supposed to be so jazzed up that ordinary people won?

KennyK said...

Howard Stern lookin good!

twunch said...

If you've ever cleaned a bong with a q-tip, that last dude looks familiar...

Ootek1 said...

Auto-tune the movies. Ugh.

shelley said...

How many outfits for Hathaway now? I count at least 4. Finally some auto-tuner!!!

KennyK said...

Gregory Brothers! haha

twunch said...

Autotuned Harry Potter. Wow. This is a good trend. This will definitely speed things up.

Ootek1 said...

Ok. Doesn't Have a Shirt was funny.

Now bring back the Roberto Benigni meets Yahoo Serious lookin' guy.

shelley said...

Breath the same air as Oprah. I smell money and narcissism.

Ootek1 said...

The Coen Brothers: not fans of Oprah.

shelley said...

Colin Firth looks like I do at an all-hands meeting. Completely focused and present on the outside and screaming in pain on the inside.

twunch said...

WOoo!!! Politics! And no Banksy. SOme part of me hopes that Banksy is in the audience wearing a rat mask and feeling really stupid.

KennyK said...

i'm losing steam. this is like blogging an audit

Ootek1 said...

Why is Billy Crystal made up in his Mr. Saturday Night old age make-up?

twunch said...

A+ work by Casey in our Youtube segment...

KennyK said...

i was expecting Hattie Mcdaniel

Ootek1 said...

The Oscars are going so poorly they've gone to bullpen for Billy Crystal.

KennyK said...

@Matt Ouch!

twunch said...

A slow Billy Crystal story. He has a crease in the middle of his forehead. It is possible that he will become more Klingon-like as he ages. Billy "Worf" Crystal.

BMakarowski said...

Thank goodness Billy Crystal was brought in to make the oscars funny again. Did they just have him under glass, and James Franco broke it to end his misery...

Ootek1 said...

Bob Hope looks like he's about to ask Obi-Wan for help.

KennyK said...

what the hell was that?
joooooooooooooddddddeeeee
law

twunch said...

Wow, they pitched it to Billy Crystal who then pitched it to Bob Hope. Who then pitched it to Robert Downey Jr. and that British guy who used to be in a lot of good movies.

Ootek1 said...

This back and forth between Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr was better than anything in their first Sherlock Holmes movie.

shelley said...

Bring on my $3! Am I the only one who wants to win?

twunch said...

So this is an Inception Tech Rout, yes? Which I guess is appropriate. My wife just got home! Yay! She says she voted for everything correctly. But then so does Shelley. I haven't looked into the winners yet.

KennyK said...

this is the best broadcast of the BAFTAs i've ever seen!

twunch said...

Inception wasn't nominated for editing. Weird. A lot needed to happen to make that movie make no sense. I feel like they were robbed.

Ootek1 said...

How was Inception _not_ nominated for Film Editing? They didn't shoot that in one take, right?

KennyK said...

Damn, i thought they were going to kiss

twunch said...

Rally! Resist the entropy of the third act! Now is the time when you must be at your meanest! Your surliest! Blame the Oscars for what they have done to you!!

twunch said...

It's time for some awards. The big awards. More original song nominees! That'll perk shit up! Jennifer Hudson will tear things up!

Ootek1 said...

OH MY GOD. Where is the rest of Jennifer Hudson?!

KennyK said...

hathaway's face is massive! it's like mount rushmore in a bad wig.
That means her neck is blackfoot indian teritory.

KennyK said...

Is that Enya?

twunch said...

This song is definitely pushing things into a new dimension of crazy excitement. Do you suppose they can reach into the same bin where they got Bob Hope and pull out the 3:6 Mafia?

Ootek1 said...

So we can all agree that James Franco and Anne Hathaway will never host this thing again, right? Who's got next? If we are insisting on not using comedians, how about Justin Timberlake?

Is this song about to bust into Jai Ho?

shelley said...

Another dress for hathaway? There are children starving somewhere!!

Ootek1 said...

From Jacy: "Why is Gwynneth Paltrow holding a vibrator?"

twunch said...

GWYNETH!!!WE ARE ALL WINNERS!!!! GWYNETH sings COUNTRY music. She's an American treasure. And she connects with me on so many levels.

Ootek1 said...

this song could use Cee-Lo and his muppets.

Gailen Audie said...

Gwyneth trying to sound nasal.

KennyK said...

why can't i garner fame for "kind of being good at something"?

twunch said...

Randy Newman walks off with this one. Just like he always does. He's a national menace. He cannot be stopped and we must just endure him.

shelley said...

Country music's new star? I'll leave it to you

BMakarowski said...

I want a Randy Newman, Florence, Jay-Z combo?

Ootek1 said...

Randy newman needs this Oscar like I need this show to keep going.

KennyK said...

Randy Newman is going to build a raft out of his oscars and be given a viking funeral.

twunch said...

Halle Berry Rembers Lena Horne!!! We are in for a treat! This Academy Awards ceremony has been lean as a jaguar!

shelley said...

Randy Newman may have had the best acceptance yet. He is digging his way out of a huge negative score for me

Ootek1 said...

This Ozzie commercial is giving me Vietnam-style flashbacks to the Super Bowl halftime show.

KennyK said...

Modern family isn't funny

Ootek1 said...

Modern Family ftw.

Ootek1 said...

Oh! A Modern Family clash with Kenny! The blog gets feisty!

BMakarowski said...

Oh thank goodness Celene Dion!

twunch said...

Why does Celine get to sing and nobody even apologizes or explains???
There's no introduction. No chance to change the channel. And it's all dead people after that. It's like a challenge. Can you make fun of Celine without taking the piss out of Tony Curtis (un)timely death??

KennyK said...

i guess they heard my Celine Dion comment.

shelley said...

Celine - Officially the bathroom break

twunch said...

Ootek1 said...

The In Memoriam is my favorite part of the show. It's even better now that Celine's stopped singing.

Oh damn. She's back.

twunch said...

Celine has moved this from a pee break to a full dump. Thanks, Canada!

twunch said...

KennyK said...

he made that movie just to get laid. PROVE ME WRONG!

Ootek1 said...

Are they retiring Lena Horne's number tonight?

KennyK said...

i think they had to get at least one black actor in. No black actors even died!

BMakarowski said...

Am I the only one who thinks that the chick from NCIS kinda sounds like Gollum?

twunch said...

Brad, I fear you might be the only person I know who knows NCIS apart from my parents.

KennyK said...

TOM HOOPER! YES!
Go rent the Damn United. RIGHT NOW!
