Woo hoo!!! Cannot wait for the show!
I’m looking forward to TMB coverage more then the show itself.
when exactly does it start? 5:00 pm?
and how can i tune in?
lookin forward! ;)
I fully support Robert(wolf)’s comment, podcast away. Podcast away
This will be my first time listening in to your podcasts for the oscars. Looking forward to it.
I’m going to try following along the live broadcast at oscar.com, depending on the quality. I’m not sure if I want the show to be good or bad, since bad means better rants.
I’m watching red carpet coverage, and Diablo Cody looks to be this year’s Bjork.
Now that you guys have a bit of funding, maybe next year you can do a live simultaneous video feed of the Oscars. That would be cool.
OMG You guys…..LOOK at MArion Cotillard. She looks like an ANGEL!
How can i tune in?! heeeelp!
Daniel Day-Lewis’ wife’s dress was hideous. It looked like the losing design on an episode of Project Runway.
Dammit no channels here are covering it >;(
oscars.com is showing nothing yet live.
Yeah I’m getting nothing from the site either.
Might not show anything on the site till it starts.
I think people are still getting they’re seats.
Jennifer Garner looks incredible!
Daniel Day-Lewis’ black suit with the red pinstripe and brown shoes looks quite odd!
Ellen Page and Jennifer Garner looked amazing.
I just saw The Rock on the red carpet at the Oscars. Hell hath frozen over:)
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF HELL HATH FROZEN OVER!!!!!!
mmmm Garner!
I hated her dress in a photo, but it moves beautifully when she walks. Hate her emo hair over her face, though.
Hey here’s something I just wondered? In the history of the Oscars has anyone ever accepted an award in the character they played? Man that would make for some good TV.
Don’t diss Garner! Her entire ensemble looks great tonight! I SO would!
As you probably see right now, yes they have FilmBuff. :)
wooo 80 years of Oscars I love these montages.
This montage with Celine Dion singing is awful. God, make it END.
It’s over. Now, here’s hoping that there are less montages this year.
It’s over. Now, here’s hoping that there are less montages this year. YES RATATOUILLE BITCHES!
No what I ment by accepting in character like picture Daniel Day Lewis accepting tonight if he wins best Actor and talks like Daniel Plainview that would be awesome.
Heigl looks like an expensive hooker.
Thank all the dreamers that dreams! BAHAHAHA Way to make an ass of yourself in front of like 3 billion people Brad Bird go back to The Simpsons.
I turned the channel after Bird kept rambling on.
wow they are really cutting the speeches short this year thus far.
Why do they have to fucking talk sooooo long during there acceptance speaches? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha Norbit didn’t win
That would be cool actually. La Vie En Rose, Make Up, good. There’s Amy Adams for you FilmBuff. Glad? :)
Amy just singing by herself….AWKWARD.
this performance form enchanted is painful
She should have been in costume at least.
wow can’t wait to hear what the guys have to say about Norbit not winning.
Amy looked very uncomfortable up there singing all by herself
Why do they even need a host? Just get a long with the awards.
Amy doesn’t look/sound like a movie star. I don’t get the buzz over her.
OMG IT’S THE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
fix your mics guys – some of you are louder than others
Wow, Transformers lost!!!
It took me this long to figure out that NOBODY is streaming this. I guess I’ll have to get my news via the podcasts :(
Golden Compass… What the hell is up with that s***!
Transformers lost. This sucks.
GOLDEN COMPASS?????? FUCK THAT!!!!!!!!!
Transformers not winning REALLY!
Did anyone find the Rock’s comment about Raiders funny? I did but that’s because I actually watched Wrestling in Middle school
I’m very surprised. I thought it was between Pirates and Transformers….
WTF GOLDEN COMPASS BETTER THAN TRANSFORMERS!?!? FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE YOU OLD ACADEMY IDIOTS!
F***! My computer isn’t letting me get podcasts 2 & 3~!
Goddamned Polar Bears will be ripped apart by fucking Megatron!
Hey was Joe Pesci even at the Oscars when he won for Goodfellas? I know there’s a great story from when he was making My Cousin Vinny they were filming a scene where he’s sleeping in jail and on a take the camera pans over to him sleeping and he has the Oscar in his hands up against his face.
COMPASS WTF??? ARE YOU BULLSHITTING ME?
Fuck that athiest polar bear.
call it.
JAVIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hating on machines!
FRIENDO!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to hear what Doug has to say about Javier Bardem on Best Supporting! :covers ears:
God Damnit! why did my appendix have to be removed on Monday and keep me from going to see No Country For Old Men. Congrats Javier I can’t wait for that three way you get to have in Woody Allen’s new film with Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.
Oh shit, Owen Wilson is next!
Transformers would have won, too bad no one could see the visual effects due to all the shaky cam shots and fast edits.
How in the world did Golden Compass beat Transformers
Other than that’ I’m glad La Vie En Rose won for makeup. Tells me someone other than myself has heard of the film.
One thing I’m pised about…the clock is being eaten alive by the 80 yrs clips.
Oh christ, more montages…..
Binoculars and Periscopes? Are you fucking kidding me?
Ok fuck all you montage haters: Binoculars and Periscopes that’s fucking brilliant.
Oh fuck, MORE SINGING………
Fuck the singers. Wait a minute… is that guy singing… who I think it is? John and Doug, we must hear you yell to relieve our angst!
Transformers are up for another 2 noms. They better win won, but seeing how they lost best FX I can’t see it winning anything.
John is going OFF on Transformers.
YAWN YAWN YAWN!
Very pleased for Javier though!
Nightmare Montage. YEAH!
Owen Wilson!
Why is a bee here talking?
Le Mozart des Pickpockets! I knew it! Although I think everyone knew it was going to wn!
This is pretty fucking boring
Man Jennifer Hudson is fat.
The Academy must of thought that they were actual transforming cars.
oh, shit supporting actress…….
Doesn’t Cate Blanchette right there remind you of that chick from La Femme Nikita?
I didn’t even see Transformer and I’m shocked on that one as well just to throw in my 2 cents on the Transformer getting fucked over by polar bears controversy
TILDA??????
YAY!! Tilda Swinton won, but god that dress she has on is so ugly.
i want to impregnate blanchette
Is she stoned? I think she may be stoned people!
The dress matches her head!
BULLSHIT
amy ryan should have got that
Tilda looks like the damn statue. And oh wonderful, another song! John, Doug, do you at least like the songs even though they are unnecessary?
I didnt see tilda coming, but I think its cool she did. She does great stuff and I loved her in Clayton!
tilda swinton looks like she did a line of coke before getting on stage
Know what sucks the most about Tilda winning? We’ll have to see her ugly ass again next year when she presents supporting actor.
Note to Tilda: it’s poor form to give away your Oscar.
The second worst dress of the evening not only goes to winner Tilda Swenton, but its clearly an homage to co-star George Clooney in Batman & Robin. Thanks for the reminder. Can’t she at least say ‘George…you were awesome if From Dusk Til Dawn!’
Alba looks BAD. Her dress looks like it’s about to fall off.
Kristina that’s why they have surgeons.
Tilda you should of wore some makeup – yuck
thats my baby in alba
Alba looked great.
Brolin looks like he wants to beat that Atonement guy’s ass.
No Country BABy!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN IT WANTED TO SEE UPTON SINCLAIR GIVE A SPEECH……Wait isn’t he dead?
COENS! YES!
I predict a clean sweep for No Country…
Alba will never win an Oscar so she better enjoy being there tonight.
John and Doug sound like how I felt last year when Babel won for best Original Score.
Miley was lip synching
Hannah Montana looks super cute.
Hann(er) Montan(er), Jesus Christ. I KNEW IT! More songs!
(Rhythmically) How does she know, that you love her?
This blows.
I wish Javier would air gun all the people who are singing and dancing.
HEY LOOK!
It’s another TV actor/singer presenting!
I don’t know about these songs. I liked that one that was performed last.
The one with the chior.
I second that Krazie835!!
“if Transformers hadn’t been such a shitty movie…” At last someone who spells it out! The Academy has my support for sidelining that pile of directorial lobotomy – as if anyone ared ;-) Even though the effects were quite spectacular, indeed, but that film does just not deserve any awards. Bad enough it made that much money.
The baby goes too… LOL!
And the baby goes to…..! bahahaha what a surprise Angelina Jolie.
Transformers lost to bears and now some pop singer is presenting….W…T…F?
Superbad!!!!
LMFAO SETH ROGEN AND JONAH HILL!
They’re ripping on Transformers because they hated the fact that Lazerbeak wasn’t in it. Aren’t I right Doug?
Bourne Ultimatum???????? Christ….
Sorry Transformers hahahaha!!!!!
Transformer fale, lol.
I swear, the judges have something against Autobots…
2 screwed up awards now that Transformers was passed over again.
Yes, Miley Cyrus is a TV star, but she also has a hit concert film.
Hahaha @ Transfromers again for the third time.
Triple screw for Transformers
make it 3 screwed up awards now.
Wow Transformers looses again…
Screw Bourne. Let’s see him take on Lazerbeak. And quit it with the Halle Berry already!
Striiike two!!
hill and rogan kick ass
Bourne…2
Transformers 0
A cold day in HELL.
Bunch of Michael Bay haters. Fuck!
BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Transformers got screwed, bent over and face down!
John might kill himself.
Do they not realize that we can google all the winners of these awards?
Why no transformers love so far tonight?
Optimus got ass-raped. FUCK.
Boo. Ellen deserved to win.
Marion Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew it!!!!! I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahhhhh horseshit…that was ellen paige all the way
John might knock himself off- well, I hope not. I called it!!!!!!
MARION!
NOW int’l friends, watch Vivian Rose!
SOMEONE CHECK FOR THIS BITCH’S GREEN CARD! THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!
I am going to give Bourne an Award Winning People’s Elbow!
No its not Bullshit people. YOu really need to see her in the movie she is amazing. =)
Julie Christie should’ve had that for sure. Anyone else think Enchanted is going to go 3-0 for annoyingly bad songs tonight?
Thank you so much for Page losing! Yes! There is a God! It’s SO easy to play teenage angst she shouldn’t have even been nominated! Bah! That said, I was pulling for Cate.
This sucks. What is up with these awards tonight? And to those that deserved to win, the acceptance speeches were terrible!
YAY MARION!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck fuck fuck
WTF, NINTENDO Wii~! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Awful speech, gorgeous girl. She was genuinely stunned.
*hits mute*
Someone is going to get shot tonight. It doesn’t have to be a bullet, just something. QUIT IT WITH THE GOD DAMNED SONGS ALREADY!
Here’s your winner of Best Song
Can you hear the anger of MORE MUSIC~?!
The Wii bit was best of the night.
The Wii thing was cute.
I really figured Cate would win but I really wanted to see Ellen Page win hence my green card comment.
Oh look a song actually worth hearing.
Colin just slipped exactly where Miley did, someone get Housekeeping in there!
May I paraphrase Simon Cowell?
That song from Once was dreadful
This is the best song nominated.
Yes Jack, welcome back!
JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I called John offing himself on post 139 Darren. Sorry.
Quick: Which Best Picture do you hate?
Ok this is a bad montage you can look all this shit up and I say that actually liking montages.
Damn Ellen didn’t win. Oh well at least she can make another xmen movie.
It’s such a shame that they have the Orchestra in such a secluded area.
Thank God Page lost. DOWN goes Juno! DOWN!
Jack is always Oscar ready!
MORE MONTAGES……………….
Oh while we have some time: FUCK ORDINARY PEOPLE! Raging Bull should have won best picture for 1980. Raging Bull is a fucking masterpiece and Ordinary People is in the 2 for 5 dollar bin at the Wal-Mart I work at.
Ellen Page was robbed!!
Another for Bourne…
WTF is going on with Bourne taking every goddamn thing?
Umm, you’re aware Ellen Page would need a green card as well right?
Bourne again. Geez.
Sure, but could Jason turn himself into a camaro?
Yay, they recognize the Orchestra and Bill Conti.
Kidman is a hot mess.
Bahahahaha The Other James Taylor I totally forgot she’s from Canada touche sir. You have made me look like an ass.
Give him a chair…geez! So painful.
And that poor old man, getting dragged across the stage by the hot mess.
We, the academy, give the honor recip to Robert Boyle, 98 years young.
Just before the funeral tommorow.
*falls asleep*
Kidman makes me want a white ghost of a woman.
Is it just Canada that has the screen cropped?
Poor guy.
That crazy bitch who’s name escapes me: GET ON WITH IT!
Ok I sorry for being a prick I know that guy’s speech was probably from the heart and sincere but good lord was it dull.
I lose half the words on the screen too. It sucks.
Alright, commercial break. LEt’s get the next one up. No, Kip, my screen is cropped as well. I couldn’t tell what some of the movies are when they were rolling out the best pictures over the years montage.
Why do they announce a big category like Best Actress while they are in the midst of still passing out minor awards? Makes the women look minor as well? I remember when they did actress, actor, director, and picture in that order at the very end of the damn show. Now, they just toss it all over. They wouldn’t dare hand out best actor right at the top of the show, so stop disrespecting the goddamn actresses!
@kristina: My thoughts exactly! What bullshit!
Restart the show and give Transformers an F’N AWARD!
200! I think!
Kristina I know you’re pissed right now but weren’t they just going to be called female and male actors like last year or the year before? whatever happened with that. Wait what does this have to do with anything?
Mongol looks interesting.
ANOTHER SONG???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god, the songs are over. Now let’s get… what’s left now?… Actor, Supporting, Picture, Screenplay… and sorry about the 200 thing, Im just very tired.
What does a green card have to do with winning an Academy Award? Moron…
Mongol looks fucking badass
Seriously, ANOTHER SONG???????????????????
Never thought I’d ever, ever say this:
Where is Debbie Allen when we need her?
The songs are over! Movie Blog Reader’s Rejoice! And here comes Travolta!
FINALLY, we are now going to to have a song winner.
they are torturing me with all these songs?
nice little entrance by Travolta I must say.
TAKE THAT DISNEY
Aww the Once dude shit his pants:)
Are they trying to torture me with all these songs?
Disney got PWND in Best Song!
Oh man that Irish dude people in the crowd were laughing at him that pisses me off being Irish.
We all know Disney had three songs because they are visually appealing to stage.
I may not have cared for the song, but I didn’t like the mike getting cut off for Marketa. Fuck the goddam mike, clean up that fucking water spill. Travolta almost landed on his ass.
Not that would be a bad thing…but stil..damn
I love Enchaned, but none of those songs deserved it.
Darren, wanna place a bet that someone eats it on that spot before the night is done?
Stewart should have stopped the music and let Marketa say a few words. Bullshiz!
Stewart redeemed himself. Classy.
Kudos to Jon for bringing Marketa back out!
Good for Stewart, letting Marketa talk!
Wow the Academy does something classy when the fuck did that happen last?
It just occured to me. That spill happened after Alba left, right? She didn’t…well, moving on…
Jon Stweart has class. They brung Marketa back out, and let her have her say.
She’s kinda cute too.
No you can’t do it Cameron but you can do something else *wink and points downward*
See how they put dates on In Memorium? Heath isn’t gonna be in there.
Never mind.
THe damn show is just to loooooooong.
Very fitting and classy to end on Heath.
Can’t believe they left Brad Renfro off the In Memorium list.
So that was the “much” hyped tribute to Ledger? Hmm.
When did Renfro die? They had a date limit. You had to kick before January 31, 2008.
Wow. I didn’t know cinematographer Freddie Fields passed on.
I noted they didn’t fit in Brad Renfro…and since the memorium only covers to Jan.31st, I guess Rooy Schieder will be in next year.
In Memorium…the only montage worth watching.
I’m glad There Will Be Blood won for Cinematography that movie was fucking beautiful. That’s a movie HD TVs were made for.
Scheider missed the cut too.
January 15. A week before Heath Ledger.
MARCO BELTRAMI BETTER WIN!!!!!!!
Jesse James was fucking beautiful and lost. BOO.
MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!
Hey, can we get some pictures on here of your Oscar party, guys, along with Doug’s Shirt? It sounds like a helluva party in the background there.
Hey, can we get some pictures on here of your Oscar party, guys, along with Doug’s Shirt? It sounds like a helluva party in the background there.
Well there goes the possibility of Beltrami giving a nod to Jerry Goldsmith. =/
Next year, you need to have shit to listen to during waste of our time montages. Seriously… they are longer then the ads and just as informative.
I cant believe it either. Brad Renfro should have been in the in memoriam.
I KNEW Atonement’s shitty typrewriter would win. UGH.
Having soldiers present awards while they should be hunting Bin Laden is a waste of time!
Woo! Pretty Soldiers!
Thank you pretty soldiers! Get that oil, and push that disaster capitalism!
Y’know something? The Soldiers were the best presenters thus far
I’m a military brat but even I didn’t appreciate seeing the military up there.
Good, Taxi won best documentary! Anyone disappointed? I’m not!
WTF with the doc win is all I can say.
First, lets show soldiers… then we’ll give an award for showing what the soldiers are doing.
I’m not a fan of Juno but I wanna see “Diablo Cody’s” nasty hotness up on stage.
I almost forgot…
@Kristina:
The Faustian Pact has been sealed! Or..Seeler’d.
Stick to being Indy Harrison
I lost it when they showed Heath at the end of the memorium – also the asian lady from courtship of eddie’s father
Ha, Ha, Kristina Cody won.
Yes, take it in Royal, like I am!
I myself had thought that Heath would get his own segment in the Memorium, but a few breaks before the actual tribute, I realized that this wouldn’t be true.
The main reason for this was very simple, that Heath’s career is not yet over. He still has two movies yet to show in theatres, the latter of which will be a tribute in it’s own right, as three other well known actors will attempt to portray Heath in their own way. Besides the fact that, yes, they don’t usually do separate segments for actors who are gone, I believe it would still have to wait till the next year.
Whether or not he still deserves a special segment is still in the air, but I do believe his circumstances are quite different in this case, and to say he doesn’t deserve SOMETHING would be pretty naive.
Oh, and I think Kristina in comment 250 needs to stop wasting valuable oxygen.
Don’t forget to plug the club you stripped!!!!!!
diablo cody = MAJOR FREAK
More Diablo Please!!!!
FUCK YOU GRUNDY:)
Hell, even Harrsion was pissed when he read her name. Didya see him sigh like, “Aww shit, not her.”
Well, John ate a little crow for miss Page.
Pass the sauce and the rye bread. I was wrong on Diablo Cody.
BTW, Nice Tatt.
Diablo Cody wins, awesomeness!!!
Marketa isn’t Irish, although she’s picking up the accent.
HERE COMES DDL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ungreatful bitch forgot to plug the club she stripped in, if it wasn’t for that club you wouldn’t be standing there tonight.
Call me crazy, but…I just..for a moment………………….wabted to sleep with Helen Mirren……..okay, thought over. Nuclear meltdown avoided.
The Next No Brainer of the Night, Daniel Day Lewis. Thank heavens!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! DDL FOR THE WIN!
Sir Daniel.
Two victories for Ireland……
Go raibh mile maith agat!
I really think DDL is up there when it comes to greatest ever do you see a single trace of Daniel Plainview in him right now? Amazing actor.
Classy classy classy man.
I’m still mad that Marco Beltrami lost.
Come to think of it, I want to see Mongol too,
TMB should keep an eye out, do a review one day.
And, yes, I thought Mirren was hot.
Kristina, bring me back.
Marty’s so cool. And so short:)
Go Coens!
Ethan is a funny mother fucker! Congrats Coen’s I promise I’ll see No Country as soon as I can.
Oh Well… time to hear John slur his words! No Country Was Gonna win no matter what. Oh well.
I think someone should get their Air Gun Out hahaha.
Wow now I really do have to see it as soon as fucking possible.
Darn, *tear for Juno*
The Oscars No Country for There Will Be Blood!
:D
YEAH,FUCK JUNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK ATONEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Country was a great picture.
There Will Be Blood is a classic. It should have won.
Anyone feel this was a pretty bland Oscars?
Best musical performance of the night with Mission Impossible credits.
The Oscars were No Country for There Will Be Blood!
:D
And in my Oscar Pool, I came in 32nd out of 419 people. Recognize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck
Who’s watching I Met the Walrus?
Poor John, No Love for Transformers and only 1 Love for Juno.
Good choices all around this year.
All the crying about juno and transformers makes this group sound like middle school.
Is it just me or does Scorcese appear to be turning into Woody Allen?
so many ignorant comments on this topic, fuck.
I think now I’m going to do the following:
1) Relisten to John’s rant on Transformers getting robbed. May he repeat it on Monday. May he repeat it on Now Live Wed. May he be an extra in Mongol , cause the man’s about to rip shit up with Geggis Khan
2) I want to find Anne Hathaway and Tilda Swinton and ask them if they know Cher and Bjork
3) I want to know why Helen Mirren looks hot for her (or any) age
4) I want to know what I owe Kristina in losing the bet of the slip and fall, when will she collect, and may she be gentle
5) I want to finish my Expresso
not in that order
night int’l friends
Juno to me winning best picture was a long shot I figured it was either going to be There Will Be Blood or No Country For Old Men I’ll find out tomorrow if it warrants having won Best Picture.
I know that this comment is late but WTF???? no Oscar For Transformers???? PSSSSS every year i lose more and more interest to this kind of shows!!
Hold on…something….something…
okay dammit I KNOW I’m drunk now and need mor expresso.
The Movie Blog looks very different.
Darren, one day I will require a favor from you. And you MUST SAY YES, regardless of what I ask.
I got you by the balls now, beeyotch!!!!
And Doug in that pic made me laugh like nuts.
Darn. I was starting to like it, too.
The new 1 1/2 second of Movie Blog change I mean
What?
Oscars are over?
Really?
I’ll pay good money for that shirt.
Good night, International Friends!
Ok i know why transformers didn’t win the award.
It seems like the oscar visual effect jury expects the movie to have a character that is living breating and CGI or motion captured and has hair or fur on them aka an organic character that looks amazing.
Transformers is just bunch of robots that are made of metal and from what i know it is very easy to make metal look absolutely photorealistic compared to organic characters like aslan, king kong and davy jones.
This is like WOTW vs. King Kong. Wotw had bunch of tripods that looked photorealistic but were made of metal while king kong was an organic living and breathing character and the CGI was absolutely stunning for KK himself so it won the award for visual effects.
Now i know that there are several moving parts of transformers when they transform but still they are made of fucking metal.
Come to think of it transformers 2 has very less chance of winning the best visual effects award since that same year James Cameron’s AVATAR comes out and that movie is supposed to be groundbreaking and absolutely mindblowing. On top of that WETA is providing the visual effects of that movie and just like LOTR movies and KK, it will take the visual effects award.
Some of the sfx for golden compass were provided by weta but majority of it was done by rythm and hues who did aslan in Chronicles of narnia movie and are doing the upcoming hulk movie.
so many comments…
so you are suprised about the Transformers thing as is everyone else.
you weren’t surprised that Cate Blanchett got completely screwed out of 2 oscars? I thought she had best supporting actress in the bag.
From an audio standpoint, Bourne Ultimatum did not deserve to win SOUND MIXING and SOUND EDITING. I wanted Transformers or No Country to win SOUND EDITING but Transformers not winning for SOUND MIXING? NO FUCKING WAY! That’s the problem when there are 6,000 people voting for something they don’t understand….they vote for mediocre soundtracks like Bourne Ultimatum.
Golden Compass winning is a goddamn disgrace. Seriously, the terrible effects in that film are painfully obvious. The least deserving effects won.
316 comments. Is that a new record?
Also love the pic on the page of you 4 guys but wheres the pics of the hot chicks who were there as well??
transformers not winning for effects was mental.
i could understand it not winning if the golden compass had great effects but they were average boredering on crap.
i mean at the end of the day big metal robots is not as hard to do as organc creatures and thing like that but the effects in transformers were very very good and I am very surprised it didn’t win.
everything else went pretty much as planned….it was all a bit anti climatic…
I though page might have managed to snake it…she has become such a darling of hollywood that I thought she maight do it..but I am glad she didn’t ..la vie en rose is amazing and the woman in it is fucking great.
told you cody was a lock for screenplay darren ;P
i really wish there had been a real out of the blue upset like
“and the winner of best picture is….michael clayton”….just something totally out of the blue would have been hilarious….
but I am glad that no country (deservedly) took out the big ones.
it deserves to have won over the films it was against.
all in all it made all my belly aching about johns juno prediction all the more pointless because well…he was totally wrong ;p
anyway….
diablo cody is hot and i noticed edgar wright appeared to be her date…….
oh and i am glad that bourne got some recognition….it was one of the best of the year
hey will the podcasts be available via i tunes at some stage campea???
i reall need to hear you reaction to transformers not winning vfx….
oh and one last thing….the montage gags “periscopes and binoculars” and “bad dreams..an oscar salute” is now officially my favorite oscar joke ever.
that was truly fucking funny….
in fact stewart was fantastic…that won’t be the last time he hosts.
and as for everyone who complains about the songs..while they generally bore me I don’t have this pathological hatred gor them that some of you seem to have but why don;t they just do a one stop medley of all the songs in one sitting….a little bit from each song and thats that.I get the idea behind having each song played as it harkens back to good old fashioned variety type tv shows but if they must have musical numbers just bash them altogther in a 5-6 minute medley.

John, put some extra maple syrup on your waffles this morning…..
You earned it! : )
the bourne ultimatum is the second greatest winner of the night! great movie… how the hell did transformers lose special effects?!?!?!
transfomers lost?
awnnnnn.
bourne is a better movie aniway so im happy!
doug’s tshirt is hilarious! i want one.
lamest oscar broadcast ever…stewart was amazingly boring…
As long as Atonement didnt win best pic, Im happy. I really dont see why that movie gets so much hype. Juno, There Will Be Blood and No Country were all vastly superior in my opinion. I havent seen Micheal Clayton yet though.
AMEN Kevin! If not for the score, Atonement would have been shut the fuck out.
Superb, well done guys !
Marketa Irglova is Czech as a side note and not Irish….but Glen Hansard is Irish. She’s a ‘hot Czech’ musician…:)
Golden Compass was not deserving of the award at all….but hey, it’s done.
I thought Transformers would at least get best sound editing…unless the fact that it’s ‘reproduced’ makes any difference.
Otherwise…great podcasts! Keep it up in Cali! Hope you’re liking the warmth while we all suffer up north. :)
Guys, here’s the Academy’s statement about Renfro not being in the In Memorium

Unbelievable.
DUDE! I can’t believe that is the answer they gave.
Good show all around. The Golden Compass winning over Transformers was complete BS and really the only pick I was seriously annoyed.
Leaving Brad Renfro off the montage was in bad form and the statement they gave is unbelievably tacky.
Well i decided to give the show a miss this year. The time difference means i would get two hourse of sleep before having to go to work and thanks to i really had no urge to watch it live this year. I don’t regret it in retrospect. At this point, i’d just be repeating everyone else has said. It just really digs in my crotch that New Line can put ‘academy award winner’ on their Golden Compass DVD’s.
Your coverage was absolutely infectious and hilarious this year guys. I hope you can get Kris and Robert on the live show sometime cause they were great.
And did I hear SoulVideo say hi to me in the background of podcast 6? That’s so nice.
Well deserved win for BOURNE…3 for 3 !!!!
Take that, HATERS!
