PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

No thanks. They should have pushed him aside and gotten Tina Fey and Amy Poehler!

Sorry Ice. Life is a crap pile of disappointments designed to see just how much one can take.

You'll probably be able to spot them on your own. I thought it was a very enjoyable, well-directed movie, even if some details are quite obviously Hollywoodized. It's certainly way better than "Crash".

Did they just threaten the Life of Pi guys (I'm running a bit behind on the DVR) with the Jaws Theme to get them to wrap up the speechifying?

Not lip-syncing. But her voice doesn't carry well in the venue. (And, the song is lousy anyway.)

Almost never. Sound editing. It was weird that Mark Wahlberg announced one winner at a time, but he must have been under instructions to do so.

Not lip-syncing. Not in prime voice at 70+, but she acquitted herself quite well. Though I fail to see why Marvin Hamlisch deserved the last spot in the memorial.

They seem to often exclude actors who made a few films but had their major success on television.

Quentin Tarantino gave a cool speech. I'm rescinding my "complete a-hole" opinion of him. For now anyway.

If the best picture nominees are a look at the molestation coverups, a historical recreation of Stonewall, a Liberace biography, the life of Alan Turing, and a comedy about gay marriage, I will personally pay his airfare.

LAST EDITED ON 02-25-13 AT 12:36 PM (EST)Tuning in for the last hour or so, seems like I missed most of the good stuff. Barbara, "The Way We Were," she still has it though not as much as she had it in her prime. Mostly what I got was Hollywood in indulgent self-congratulations, which is to be expected. All the nominees would have been worthy winners, year of the writer, blah blah blah. Bond themes back on top, nice to see, they kind of went downhill after "For Your Eyes Only." Daniel Day-Lewis, I'd say it was really a close one, but I'll give him the nod for Best Acceptance Speech. Must have been crushing losing the opportunity to play Maggie Thatcher. Poor Jennifer Lawrence, once again the dress steals top billing. Best Picture, Argo? Let's see, two literary classics, one done as a musical and one done with magnificent effects, an American victory story, an American historical drama, a romantic comedy, a Tarantino fiction adventure, the Hushpuppy story, a French film, and ... an American victory story that also happens to allow Hollywood to be indulgent and self-congratulatory claiming also a Hollywood victory story. Should have seen it coming.

47. "RE: Inside the mind? of a voter statician." |
LAST EDITED ON 02-27-13 AT 00:01 AM (EST)Christoph Waltz's win should have been foreseen because it provides two of those Oscar trivia coincidences that are unrelated to the merit of the award -- 1) Now four consecutive Best Supporting Actor winners have had first names starting with "Chris": Christoph Waltz, Christopher Plummer the previous year, Christian Bale the year before that, and, yes, Christoph Waltz to start off the chain. (For a parallel, consider the four consecutive Best Supporting Actress winners from 1978 through 1981: Maggie Smith, Meryl Streep, Mary Steenburgen, and Maureen Stapleton -- notice anything?) 2) Also, Sally Field's largely expected Best Supporting Actress loss excommunicated her from the elite group of six actors who were nominated multiple times and won every time they were nominated (twice in each case). But now someone has replaced her in that elite group...Christoph Waltz. Had anyone else nominated in his category won, the balance would not have been maintained.

52. "RE: Inside the mind? of a voter statician." |
LAST EDITED ON 03-16-13 AT 06:29 AM (EST)This one's for you, AyaK, in our mutual interest in the capability to make predictions based on fact and history. It's a quantitative science, so it lends itself to statistically-based models and data mining across multiple disciplines (baseball, cards, elections, economics, earthquakes, epidemics, population growth, global warming, etc.). You might find this conversation from Edge.org interesting. I'm in the midst of reading Silver's latest book, The Signal and the Noise: Why Most Predictions Fail – But Some Don't and I highly recommend it.
