I'm glad to see the likes of Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges picking up awards. - Kol Tregaskes
No surprises, really. Except that "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was actually nominated for something. - rowlikeagirl
LOL!! Was it? For what? It's was bloody awful! - Kol Tregaskes
I think visual effects or somesuch. I cringed! - rowlikeagirl
Oh gosh, no. If you really, really, really had to nominate it for something I guess it would be that but the story, the acting, pretty much everything else was utter poo. - Kol Tregaskes
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" was actually nominated for something. - yeah worst movie ever at the razzi awards !!:)- - Peter Dawson
meh yesterdays news - sofarsoShawn <right here>
So now we can forever say "The Oscar® nominated 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' " with or without sarcasm! - rowlikeagirl

Oh yeah, there's an Oscars room and it looks like I'm not the only one who forgot.

So who is watching the Oscars? Who doesn't care? Who do you think will win and who do you want to win?

It's Sunday night, right? - Kol Tregaskes
I have to watch...If I don't how will I know whether or not I need to unleash my torrent of profanities? - Joe "The Enforcer" Pierce
I am watching at a cool party at a media center here in NYC- with live twitter feed onscreen. I really do think Avatar must win best picture- it has begun a whole new paradigm -raising the bar in the experience of moviegoing, and the message is important. - Karma Martell
Am I the only one who doesn't care about the Oscars? - Tyson Key
I don't care. Awards shows are nearly always more lame than fun. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I hope District 9 wins something. - Kol Tregaskes
do. not. care. - Karoli
I don't care about the show, and won't be watching, but I am interested in which films wins for "Best Picture" and "Best Original Screenplay" - .LAG liked that
if Avatar does win best picture it will be the last time I watch/care about the broadcast for sure. All it did was bring in the pretty. - Joe "The Enforcer" Pierce

Brush Up on Oscar Trivia with Wolfram Alpha
"Computational knowledge engine Wolfram Alpha can help resolve any Oscar-themed squabbles that may come up on Sunday, or so it claims. Apparently, it can answer questions about every Oscar nomination and award since the first ceremony in 1929." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

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 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. - SOMEBODY!
He died after this Oscar Year. Oddly enough, he'll get mentioned next year. - Akiva
Oh. Thanks. - Steve Isaacs
Woah, he was in last year's? I didn't realize he had died that long ago. Sheesh. - Akiva
@Peter: I think because Korman was mostly a TV actor, he was not included. - SOMEBODY!
@Akiva: Yeah, he died in January 2008. - SOMEBODY!
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
I agree! I must start using it at least once a day - Nothing Knew
My next tattoo. - Derrick
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
Peter, that phrase is so full of awesome, it makes me weep. - Derrick
I think I just accidentally admitted that I know far too much about Fraggle Rock. - Akiva
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
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.
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
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
Pete D
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
Steve Isaacs
This musical number sucks so bad I hate ALL MOVIES now. #oscars
lmao - Pete D
I loved it. - Patrick
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
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
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
.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.
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
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 - The Amber
how can you straddle something like that? - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
people do lots of things for money - The Amber
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)
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
Randy
Kate Winslet won! Congrats! :D
She looked fantastic - Josh Haley
Scoble, 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
