Dustin Lance Black: "When I was 13 years old, I heard the story of Harvey Milk and it gave me hope that one day I could live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married. I want to thank my mom who has always loved me for who I am even when there was pressure not to. But most of all if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago I think he would want me to say to all of the Gay and Lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than by their churches or by the govt or by their families, that you are beautiful wonderful creatures that are valued and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon I promise you you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours. Thank you and thank you God for giving us Harvey Milk."

or Harvey Korman

He was in it last year. You don't get two years in the montage.
- Katy S
Ledger was in last year's montage.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
He died after this Oscar Year. Oddly enough, he'll get mentioned next year.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Oh. Thanks.
- Steve Isaacs
Woah, he was in last year's? I didn't realize he had died that long ago. Sheesh.
- Akiva Moskovitz
@Peter: I think because Korman was mostly a TV actor, he was not included.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
@Akiva: Yeah, he died in January 2008.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Yeah, he died pretty close to the oscars, I think in January.
- Katy S
Where the hell was George Carlin in the montage? Did I miss him?

I kind of liked Nicole Kidman's dress, but your comment WINS.

Peter, that phrase is so full of awesome, it makes me weep.

I stand corrected

I think I just accidentally admitted that I know far too much about Fraggle Rock.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, what were the little green men called that made the constructions the Fraggles fed on?

I realize this is somewhat random, but can I just say how amazing and lovely it was to see an actress - Melissa Leo - who hasn't had "work" done. Her face was lined and wrinkled and lovely - it was her real, natural face.

I enjoyed Inidana Jones 4. I found it in keeping with the rest: fantastical, melodramatic, fun, action oriented, serialized fluff with a hint of the grandiose.
- Patrick Yaeger
I've never heard anyone say even the slightest good thing about that film.
- Steve Isaacs
My husband worked on the VFX for Benjamin Button. If you're looking for a movie to root for in that category, we'd appreciate your cheering. If it wins, this will be Oscar #2 on his resume. He has an Oscar credit for Pirates 2- he did the Mill Wheel fighting scene!

yeah it's lame I haven't seen it being an SF'er

It's Derrick's fault, was gonna see it when he was in town then he was intimidated by the lines!
- anna sauce
Friends' parents are in the real-life Milk story, so it's been interesting hearing their reviews of the movie
- anna sauce
but it was also such a sad time- I was young, but still, it was in the papers and stuff. Really depressing.
- anna sauce
anna -- Yes! I got to see it at the Castro. WIN!

last movies I've seen: "he's not that into you" and "shopaholic" - i'm doing the ole romantic chick movie escapist genre

I saw "he's not..." Friday night. Liked the cast, hated the script. But I kinda knew that going in. I get so frustrated with crappy Rom Com!

liked him ever since freaks and geeks. :)

I liked last year's show better. Bring back Jon Stewart.
I disagree.
- Jeanine W.
As much as I swoon over Jackman, I'm not a big song-and-dance person. Rather see stand-up personally.
- rowlikeagirl
Jackman brought the show back to its former glory: it was entertaining, creative, it flowed, and had class.

must we welcome Bill Mahr? How can we move right to a comedian?
he did religulous
- anna sauce
the most unsellable movie of the year ar ar
- anna sauce
Loved Religulous. A documentary/expose ahead of its time for the mainstream. It would be like a film making fun of flat earthers during the time of Galileo. Too truth would be too controversial, scandalous, taboo.

So, I haven't tuned into the Oscars all night, until now. And I don't understand this format. Why the hell are there long speeches about each nominee before the award is announced? What happened to clips of the performance?
I love the new format with 5 former winner. It's more powerful and meaningful. Seeing the reactions of the nominees as they listen to their peer laud them is a wonderful touch. This was the best Oscar night in memory.
- Patrick Yaeger
these actresses getting all emotional when winning awards... can you believe it, or are they just, you know, acting?

I don't care. To me, it's always one of the highlights.

These are actors: people who make a living keeping in touch with their very human sensitive empathic sides. They are some of the most human (as in humanistic) people alive, when their sensitivities is mixed with intelligence.

how can you straddle something like that?

people do lots of things for money
- Amber, Random Time Lord
how exactly would being a scientologist bring a member money. sure the "church" makes money... but how would advertising that he's a member be good for him?
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
I'm guessing saying he *ISN'T* is what's good for his career. People don't exactly have a very positive impression of scientology after all.

And rightly so.

Don't forget about Rocky. It only had a budget of $1 mill

My only complaint is that too many people value movies only based on how they were personally entertained. There are many, many more qualifiers that go into determining a movie's ultimate worth.

Same is true with books. I totally agree. It's good to know how to appreciate different aspects of a work of art, not just the ones you love

I was the film critic for my college paper and I had a hard time doing movie reviews because how I gauged a film's worth was vastly different than your average college student judged it; I got a lot of hate mail for not jerking off over Adam Sandler films more often. It got worse during Oscars season. Bleh.
