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." - Patrick Yaeger from Bookmarklet

Where the fuck was Heath Ledger in the montage? #oscars
or Harvey Korman - Peter Ghosh
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? - Jennifer Marie Sandbank

What the hell Fraggle Rock shit is happening to Nicole Kidman's boobs in that dress? #oscars
LOL - Tamara J.
Best use of Fraggle Rock ever! - Nothing Knew
'What the hell Fraggle Rock shit' has immediately gone to the top of my list of awesome phrases I will pretend that I made up myself. - Akiva Moskovitz
I agree! I must start using it at least once a day - Nothing Knew
My next tattoo. - Derrick
I just pissed myself...nice one there - Mike Cornell
Nah, "Shut your fucking cock holster" is still #1. - Peter Ghosh
I kind of liked Nicole Kidman's dress, but your comment WINS. - Amy Oberst
Derrick, with Boober solemnly washing laundry. - Akiva Moskovitz
Peter, that phrase is so full of awesome, it makes me weep. - Derrick
I stand corrected - Mike Cornell
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? - Derrick
Katy S
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 felt that way upon seeing diane lane in the audience. she has charming wrinkles on the sides of her eyes. - Trish Haley
Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Please welcome 1/2 of the two directors that raped my childhood last summer, Steven Speilberg.
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
Erin @queenofspain
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!
I enjoyed Benjamin Button. good luck! - .LAG liked that
Good luck! I have no preferences in this category so I'll be rooting for him. - Aaron Hood
It gets my vote. The visual effects were awesome :) - Rodfather
Congrats on the win! Well deserved :) - Rodfather
Congrats! How'd they created the Teenage Brad Pitt? is it CG? - Randy
it's all CG Randy. And thanks everyone! - Erin @queenofspain
Adriana E. Reyes
I love James Franco!
swooon - anna sauce
I love him almost as much as Hugh Jackman. - Jeanine W.
Met him doing extra work, we all went out for pizza aftewards - Maria from BuddyFeed
Lucky, Maria!! - Adriana E. Reyes
anna -- see Milk. He is unbelievably hot in it. - Jeanine W.
yeah it's lame I haven't seen it being an SF'er - anna sauce
One of the perks living in LA ;) - Maria from BuddyFeed
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! - Jeanine W.
last movies I've seen: "he's not that into you" and "shopaholic" - i'm doing the ole romantic chick movie escapist genre - anna sauce
aw - anna sauce
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! - Jeanine W.
liked him ever since freaks and geeks. :) - felix
He can sit on my face anytime. - Patrick Yaeger
Pete Delucchi
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. - Patrick Yaeger
Steve Isaacs
This musical number sucks so bad I hate ALL MOVIES now. #oscars
lmao - Pete Delucchi
Now now. Let's not get hysterical. It'll be alright. - ♥patricia♥
I loved it. - Patrick Yaeger
Nothing Knew
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. - Patrick Yaeger
Adriana E. Reyes
ugh, Zack Efron? bleh
He could sit on my face anytime. So cute and very charming in front of a camera. - Patrick Yaeger
Aaron Hood
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
.LAG liked that
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. - Jeanine W.
I believe it. - ♥patricia♥
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. - Patrick Yaeger
Jayen
what's the song from the oscar credits?
"Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" by Beck - Cheryl Jones from Friend Deck
It's from the War Child International thing - Nine
Michael Forian
WILL SMITH!!!!!!!!!! SCIENTOLOGIST ALERT!!!!!!
really? Sad.... - Nothing Knew
It's scary! - Michael Forian
He isn't!! - ·[▪_▪]·
OH YES HE IS! - Michael Forian
yep and so is JLo... i know from ppl who worked for her. boo. - la dolce tati
No he isn't. Look it up. He mentioned it in a recent interview. - ·[▪_▪]·
I don't think he is... but he has given them money http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008... (forgive the huffington post reference) - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
he's a straddler - Amber, Random Time Lord
how can you straddle something like that? - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
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. - ♥patricia♥
And rightly so. - ·[▪_▪]·
Derrick
I can't believe Auto-tune has infected India. o_O
EL O EL - Josh Haley
Blame Zapp & Roger - Rodfather
Rod, they're ripping off T-Pain and Kanye. Zapp & Roger were doing it right. :) - Derrick
Haha - Rodfather
RIP Roger .. And Derrick is right. They were doing it right. Sigh ... - Amani
Amber Horner
Overall, I think this was a good show! I like the individual recognition of nominees by their predecessors...makes it more emotional. And GO SEAN PENN...
I liked that too. That's the real win there to get a public personal shout out from your hero - Josh Haley
Randy
Kate Winslet won! Congrats! :D
She looked fantastic - Josh Haley
Alex Scoble
Anyone catch the name of the company that did the LCD screens for the Oscars? Thought it was Sennova, but that doesn't seem to be right.
"LED screens provided in part by Senovva" - Josh Haley

Not to shabby. I picked 17/24 correct.

slumdog millionaire ends up with eight awards. not bad for a 'little film' that just started picking up steam as more people saw it, and is just about ready to pass the magic $100 million box office mark.
Didn't Shakespeare in Love win a bunch of awards too? We're not talking about that in the annals of film history. LOL. - Derrick
Ouch, Derrick. Claws in! - Akiva Moskovitz
Oops, I meant English Patient. - Derrick
Ohhhhhhhhh a burn within a burn! - Akiva Moskovitz
Shut up. It's not like I said A Beautiful Mind. - Derrick
Don't. Say. 'Industry'. - Akiva Moskovitz
I was quoting 'Adaptation'. :( - Akiva Moskovitz
Don't forget about Rocky. It only had a budget of $1 mill - Rodfather
Akiva Moskovitz
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.
Amen. - Derrick
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 - Katy S
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. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
That's what the MTV Awards are for :) - Rodfather
Derrick
Is that toothy ass Amelia movie with Hilary Swank?
She got more teeth than a motherfucker. - Derrick
I'm just saying her dentist's kids are going to Harvard. - Derrick
hahahahahaha - Nothing Knew
Nothing Knew
New cupid is going to SUCK!
♥patricia♥
I have to say this was the best Academy Awards experience I've ever experienced. Thanks guys! <3
YO DAWG, HEARD YOU LIKE EXPERIENCES etc - Akiva Moskovitz
oops. heh. I so want to edit my post now but I'll leave it alone. - ♥patricia♥
It wouldn't have been half as entertaining without the constant stream of snark from FF. Love you guys! :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Akiva Moskovitz
Like the previews over the credits. Well done.
