2010 Academy Awards

Post by Dex » 06 Mar 2010 09:11

Should this be in MOVIES or in TELEVISION? It's about movies... but the show is on TV. HMM

I know it's not as epic as the recent NAACP Image Awards, but the Oscars are this Sunday, and we need to discuss.
For the first time in 82 years, the Best Picture category has twice the normal amount of nominees. What does this mean? Not much, but it is good for the future of the Oscars. I suppose it's also good for DVD promotion when you can slap a "2010 Best Picture nominee" on the box.
Lets get down to predictions.

Best part of the Oscar live blog from WWTDD.com:

8:46 - Did Oprah really just ask the beanbag from ‘Precious’ how she learned to act like someone who lived their life being singled out and ridiculed? Oh, gosh, what a good question. Maybe kids used to make fun of her because she was a bad speller.

How do you think she learned it you dumb bitch.


However, best part of the Oscars themselves was when they showed the scene from that same movie where the two-ton black girl steals the bucket of fried chicken and RUNS down the street with it. I literally laughed so hard that I thought I was going to faint.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Uh... please explain
My picture makes it look like James Cameron is about to choke his ex-wife; who beat him out of best director & best picture at the Oscars. That's kinda funny. And on topic.
You just quoted my image and made some zombie reference for no reason. :?
Is this just something random and/or stupid that you would like to retract, or am I missing something deeper?

to me it looked like he had both his hands out reaching for her head and he looked like he wasn't walking straight.

I'm the type of person who would remain quiet throughout a meeting and then pipe-up and say something that was rattling around in my brain that probably dont make sense to anyone else and then go quiet again. The room would go quiet for 5 seconds and the discussion would continue as if uninterrupted.

I'll sit down and be quiet now...
