If so, what happened? I missed the speeches by Tim Robbins and I missed Sean Penn's, too. Anyone see what they said?

I hate award shows.

I watched Star Wars.

Sean Penn mumbled something about WMD's. Tim Robbins did the whole cliched oscar speech thing.

The best bit of it was Annie Lennox's performance. And the bit where Peter Jackson won "Best Supporting Actress". Or that might have been the lack of sleep catching up with me.

Absorbed directly through the skin.

I was going to watch it, just cause Elvis Costello was supposed to be playing guitar in Alison Krauss' band for the show, but alas, I watched Goldmember instead.

"Oh, my TITTIES!"

---
I has a flavor!

Elvis didn't sing, he just played guitar in the background and then finished the song with a way out of tune strum. It was nice to see him though.

The highlight of the night for me was seeing Will Ferrell and Jack Black sing the never before sung words of the "Your speech is over" song. Very amusing.

Peeing sitting down is the gift you give yourself.

I watched the sob speech on Good Morning America the next morning, but nothing else. Because I don't watch TV except for the news. I must be really boring.

you didn't miss anything. It was the single most boring oscars ever. Lord of the Rings won everything it was nominated for, many it didn't deserve(derived script, best song, picture), but Sofia Coppola won best original script and that made me happy.

Here's what I've learned from this years oscars:

Peter Jackson is a bloated fatass.

People are obsessed with three hour movies that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make.

Annie Lennox is a man.

Charlize Theron needs to go to an untanning salon.

Annie Lennox is still a man.

Drumming on a bicycle is the single coolest thing you can do in music.

Billy Crystal is getting old.

Francis Ford Coppola is getting older.

Sean Penn is just trying to be cool when he's liberaltastic.

Errol Morris has waaay too big of an ego.

Same with Adrien Brody, though he still kicks ass.

Annie Lennox has a penis.

The oscars are unfair and unbalanced.

Harvey Weinstein is a bloated fatass.

Annie Lennox does women. Because (s)he is a man. A straight man with a penis.

Ok I'm done.

The Academys are like the Emmys except biased.

I didn't see Nemo up there either. =P

Finally! My usual message board is full of people full of flustered happiness. "YES!! It deserved it! Way to go, LOTR! SWEEP!" Ah, shut the fuck up. It was a travesty. Quality films got shafted to reward commercially successful cheese. Why they did it, I don't know. Maybe they were afraid of hoards of angry bloggers. Urgh. The whole thing was a joke.

But Johnny Depp was really friggin' hot.

I missed the Oscars for about the first time in 5 tears. I was sad I missed Billy Crystal, was he funny? Did he manage to slip a jack Palance referrence into this one? Why does Possum have only 2 stars?

GOVT. Warning: Do not smoke around children they will badger you for fags.

It may seem a bit weird, but I think the consensus in Hollywood was to wait until the whole trilogy was released before awarding it what it deserved, so yes, "good" films did lose out.

Having said that, the first two LoTR films should have won awards last year and the year before - I think over the last three years the films on their own could have picked up a couple of Oscars each year. This way was more melodramatic, more Hollywood. It may not make sense to some, but to the mind of the Academy awards committee, it makes perfect sense to ignore the trilogy for two years and then give it its due this year.

And yes, the whole thing is a joke.

Please replace the handset, and try again.

I only watched it when Star Wars was on a commercial break. Diane Keaton reminded me of Groucho Marx.

No mention of fictition this year, alas.

Poor guy. He should've taken a cold drink or a fan with him. =P

What is with the jazz of wanting or lusting over people who we will never meet and would never grace our presence anyway? I don't get it.

Because Johnny Depp is hot.

It doesn't hurt to acknowledge such things.

I have no sexual interest in Johnny Depp, nor would I accept his advances if we ever met and he made any advances, but even I have to admit Johnny Depp is a good looking man, hot even.

Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors. And mmyers only has sexual interest in me. And jes_lawson. And half the Eastern seaboard.

Johnny Depp is my second favorite actor on earth. The first is Bill Murray.

I agree with your line of thinking. I still have dreams about Natalie Portman and Christina Ricci, as well as Monica Bellauchi.

I think you're missing my point. The first one didn't deserve a nomination. The second one didn't deserve a nomination. The third one didn't deserve a nomination. The trilogy as a whole doesn't deserve a nomination. The films had pretty special effects, but that was it. They are simply overrated cheese that dazzled the audience with enough CGI to make them not notice that the story was bland, the acting was tepid, and that Peter Jackson was a hack with financial backing.
They just are not that good.

A good example of the cheese was in the second one, when Magneto shows up alive all dressed in white, on a white horse, surrounded by light and the horse pulls back on its hind legs. Hooray, Magneto's alive and saving the day! Right? Wrong. I laughed out loud, it was that bad.
