[charlie and algernon]

have at it

Part 1 here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8545541&mesg_id=8545541

[PBS Poll-435]

1. Wow!

Another Hyundai commercial...

(Thanks for the new thread!)

:-)

[stewartcolbert08]

2. Okay who is?

the black guy w/ the teeth laughing at bill maher??

[bigwillq]

7. He was one of the nominees

for documentary.

[stewartcolbert08]

95. I have never seen him before!

Kind of reminds me of little wayne!

[Hello_Kitty]

3. The Tom Cruise/Jimmy Kimmel ad was pretty funny.

Now Hugh's back on.

Hugh....:loveya:

[WinkyDink]

6. Cruise looked very handsome there! (And I usually can't get past the whacked.)

[6000eliot]

9. Agreed on both counts!

:fistbump:

[leftyclimber]

4. I was in the bathroom. Are they talking about editing? nt

[leftyclimber]

11. Oh. Action movies. Never mind. nt

[charlie and algernon]

5. another genre tribute? wtf?

when do we get to the In Memoriam tribute?

[leftyclimber]

8. I've been waiting for that. Usually it's on fairly early.

And a lot of really significant contributors to film died this year.

They better not have dropped that segment. It's important.

[charlie and algernon]

12. yeah, i sure hope these genre tributes aren't the new thing

[nytemare]

10. If Peter Gabriel doesn't get the song Oscar

I will yell really loud.

I'm sure Slumdog will win.

[6000eliot]

13. He won't be performing, unfortunately.

They didn't have time for him to do the whole song, apparently.:eyes:

[nytemare]

16. But Beyonce could get up there and harp for 10 minutes.

They should have let Hugh do it on his own.

[leftyclimber]

17. I think he was in the right.

It doesn't do any of the songs justice to do these little snippety things. Some of the previous Oscar ceremonies have scattered the songs in their entirety throughout the show. It helps people who haven't heard the songs before get a better grasp of what's out there and make their own decisions about who should have won.

[Lyric]

22. Humph. After Gabriel throwing a hissy fit

because he would "only" get one minute for his performance, and pulling out rather than taking his minute like everybody else, I don't particularly care to see his immaturity rewarded.

[6000eliot]

24. He's back in?

I hadn't heard that.

[leftyclimber]

28. He's not performing.

He's still a nominee.

[Scooter24]

14. Visual Effects...

I predict Benjamin Button!

[leftyclimber]

15. Visual effects: Benjamin Button

[charlie and algernon]

18. so the academy thought a man aging backwards looked more believable

than batman diving off a Hong Kong building? boo!

[fishwax]

19. and BOOM goes the dynamite

:rofl:

[leftyclimber]

31. That was great.

I love Will Smith.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

20. totally agree about the genre tributes

I don't enjoy rapid fire editing, it emphasizes everything that is wrong with movies. I enjoy seeing what I am supposed to be paying attention to.

As you say, they had better not of dropped the in memoriam.

[leftyclimber]

21. Sound editing: Dark Knight

[Phoonzang]

23. Finally a category Slumdog or Benjamin Button can't steal.

I swear, every year they decide 1 or 2 movies are going to win every single freaking category...

[6000eliot]

25. I have The Dark Knight.

[6000eliot]

27. And I missed!

[leftyclimber]

26. Sound mixing: Slumdog Millionaire

[Phoonzang]

29. Oh for the love of....

It's SOUND! Slumdog isn't THAT great that it even has to win in the SOUND department. WALL-E is totally getting the shaft this year.

[6000eliot]

32. It won Best Animated Feature.

[Phoonzang]

35. Not enough I say!

Of course it's sci-fi, and sci-fi is usually ignored by the Academy.

[6000eliot]

49. It was my favorite film of the last year.

[Lyric]

33. So is Milk, sadly.

:(

[6000eliot]

36. It got Original Screenplay

And I think Sean Penn will win, too.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

yes , and i am also surprised that

frost nixon hasn't won anything (unless I missed it)

[nytemare]

47. I like Langella for actor.

But he probably won't win.

[leftyclimber]

54. This is a HARD year for actor.

You've got Langella, who is one of the lions of the art; you've got Penn, who's, well, Sean Penn (and this was by far the best thing he's done IMO); you've got Rourke, who showed he's still got what he had (although as Tony Danza pointed out there are a lot of people kissing him this year who would have spit on him last year) -- how do you decide? They were all incredible.

Who were the other two? (I'm not being an ass. I honestly don't remember.)

[leftyclimber]

42. Milk isn't the kind of film that gets postproduction awards.

Those tend to go to the flashy stuff (unfortunately so do Best Director and Best Picture...... :()

[Lyric]

48. Tell that to "Good Night and Good Luck"!

Oh wait...

*sigh*

[leftyclimber]

56. We'll watch 'em side by side sometime.

It's completely different. It's not about the political statement, really.

[Lyric]

58. Oh, I know. I'm just fondling old resentments.

Kinda like how I'll always hate "A Beautiful Mind" for beating LoTR: Fellowship. I'm totally biased and unreasonable like that. :P

[leftyclimber]

62. Oh, hell. On that one they were just waiting for the whole trilogy to be out

before they handed something out.

Which was stupid, ultimately, because the last two were not NEARLY as good as Fellowship.

Says this LOTR nerd. :rofl:

[Withywindle]

196. This LOTR nerd says

ROTK, theater edition, had some crappy-ass editing. WTF, PJ cuts out the whole interaction of Eowyn and Faramir in the Houses of Healing for some lingering endless CGI bullshit of Orlando Bloom on a giant elephant? We know you love your monsters, PJ, but this story is about characters, thank you very much. Don't turn into George Lucas on us, kthxbai.

The Extended Edition, collectively, all 12 hours of it, deserves truckloads of Oscars because they did an amazing job of the impossible. But yeah, theater-version wise, ROTK was the weakest of the three (and this is coming from someone who loves the TT movie, except for the fucking endless Helm's Deep battle, which I fast-forward every time until we get to Bernard Hill reciting Tolkien's poetry.)

[Withywindle]

194. I can forgive that, I suppose. (WTF, Ron Howard, that hack)

What I can't forgive is Sir Ian McKellen getting shafted.

Even though he should have won two years before for 'Gods and Monsters,' and I was hoping for him to get his make-up Oscar WHICH HE IS STILL OWED.

He was Gandalf, and that is not, in fact, an easy role. :(

[fishwax]

53. although it certainly deserved its nomination for editing

And I would have liked to see it win that. But slumdog was a deserving winner as well.

[leftyclimber]

61. The Academy seems to go for flash and jump-cuts

over what makes something a visually complete film. I don't get it, but I'm not an editor.

There are some ACE members on DU. What say you, ACE members? Could you edify us non-editors, a bit?

[charlie and algernon]

30. F*ck this, let the other movies get the technical awards

the so-called oscar movies can get the acting awards, let the rest fight it out for the technical awards.

[leftyclimber]

34. What does it say about the Best Picture category

if its postproduction isn't considered topnotch?

Some of this gets confusing to me.

[charlie and algernon]

50. it's because there are some movies who will NEVER be nominated for Best Picture

no matter how great the acting and directing was, (a la the Dark Knight, Iron Man, WALL-E) just because they don't fit the typical Oscar "model" so at least let those movies get the minor awards, give them their due for being great.

[leftyclimber]

69. So true. nt

[nytemare]

40. Slumdog Millionaire for technical? Really?

Editing and sound? Meh.

[leftyclimber]

37. Film editing: Slumdog Millionaire

I wanted Frost/Nixon.

[nytemare]

44. Me too, just not Slumdog.

I didn't think it was a technical wonder.

[aaronbees]

65. Did you see the chase scene through the Mumbai slum?

Incredibly well edited and exciting. There were a few scenes like that in Slumdog, I thought.

[Phoonzang]

38. This is bullshit. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

39. Grr

Jeez, I wonder what best picture is going to be...


:eyes:

[nytemare]

41. The underdog that is not an underdog.

[Parker CA]

43. Tropic Thunder!!?? HAHA.

[leftyclimber]

46. They must have taken all their profits

and invested them in the Oscar Pimping Fund.

Seriously. Academy Awards are pursued incredibly aggressively. Sometimes it's about who ran the best campaign to convince people to vote, not about what's really the most incredibly artistic/whatever criteria film out there. It's like running for class president with a zillion-dollar budget, in some ways.

[Phoonzang]

45. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Everyone was saying SDM was going to win

and lo and behold...it wins. God forbid there be any competition or suspense.

[Parker CA]

51. Definitely takes the anticipation out of things. When the presenters start saying all but,

"oh, what'dya know? Slumdog Millionaire wins again," everything loses a bit of excitement.

[nytemare]

52. I'd like to see The Reader or Benjamin Button win.

Fat chance.

[6000eliot]

55. The Reader gives me the creeps.

If it had been a man and a young boy, I don't think it would have gotten nominated.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

64. I don't think Seth Rogan and Judd Aptow liked it either (hope I spelled the

names right), and there may have been hint of a political statement in that short.

I could be wrong, I often am.

[6000eliot]

72. I still picked Kate Winslet for Best Actress,

because I think she'll win.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

91. I absolutely adore Kate

I haven't seen the Reader, but have been reading the articles about the movie, simply because i admire her so much as an actor. I will definitely see the movie.

[PBS Poll-435]

60. Exactly

The smart money, at this point, must be on "Acting? What the Hell is That? Millionaire."

[bigwillq]

63. Slumdog was highly overrated.

I haven't seen many of the others but Slumdog was just ok. It was very overrated, imo.

[Phoonzang]

66. Honestly, I'd never even heard of it before the lead up to the Oscars...

[Phoonzang]

78. self delete

[6000eliot]

67. It's just a fantasy about poverty, isn't it?

Real poverty isn't uplifting or entertaining. I've been there.

[gblady]

76. I totally agree....

not my cup of tea, for sure.

I'm much more of a Milk or Ben Buttom kind of gal.

[leftyclimber]

57. That asshole Jerry Lewis

won the humanitarian award?

Tell that to all the people in "menial" jobs who've had to work with him. :puke:

[6000eliot]

59. Tell that to Jerry's Orphans.

[leftyclimber]

68. A lot of disability advocates don't like the way he infantilizes

people with disabilities. He raises a lot of money, but at what cost to people's abilities to get jobs, be seen as human beings, little things like that?

Edit: spelling

[WinkyDink]

73. OFGS, like anyone else is taking up the slack?? HE is preventing MD sufferers from working??

Well, when he croaks, they can all feel relief from his oppression.

[Lyric]

109. Some people complain for damned good reasons.

Dignity is not only a province of the normally-abled. My older sister is disabled, in a wheelchair, and she thinks Lewis is an insulting prig who contributes to the view of the disabled as childish and incapable people who should be pitied and coddled like babies for their whole lives, and never treated as equals in our society. But yay for money, 'cause that's all that matters, right? Not actual equality or anything. And that doesn't even get INTO Lewis' gay hate and misogyny.

Some info on what people within the disabled community think of Lewis:

http://www.cripcommentary.com/revisionism.html
http://www.cripcommentary.com/jlquotes.html
http://julian1st.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/jerry-lewisprotests-controversy-over-humanitarian-award-pickets-at-oscar-ceremonies/

“Regarding your blog about Jerry Lewis’ receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, you and your readers should know that many of us object to it. He frequently calls people with disabilities, whom he supposedly helps, “cripples”. He refers to gay men as “fags” and has said that women are nothing more than baby-making machines. Moreover, his annual telethon exploits kids with disabilities to garner pity as a fundraising tool, despite the constant entreaties of the disability community to stop the pity campaign. It does more harm than good. But Lewis and his organization have refused to work with our community. Instead, Lewis has threatened to have his critics killed. Lewis is no humanitarian and does not deserve this prize. It is an insult to people with disabilities, the gay rights movement and the memory of Jean Hersholt.”

http://thetroublewithjerry.net/

Your shitty tone was unappreciated. This is a REAL issue within the community of the disabled, whether YOU accept it or not.

[WinkyDink]

70. And what of them, that you know? Because you must not have heard the part of the $2 BILLION his

MDA telethons have raised.

[leftyclimber]

71. See #68. YMMV. nt

[WinkyDink]

74. I don't see the connection between complaints of "workers with him" and "infantalizing."

Seem like disparate groups to me.

[leftyclimber]

77. That he is contributing to stereotypes that prevent such things.

I'm not denying that he's raised a lot of money for research. I'm glad somebody's doing it. I just don't agree with the way he goes about it, because it doesn't help disabled people, who have the lowest employment rate in the country, by promoting the stereotype that disabled people are helpless and incompetent.

He also has a reputation for treating his crew, hotel staff, and so on like crap.

This, however, is a discussion for another forum and probably another time. Let's watch the Oscars. :hi:

[nytemare]

75. Button better win for score.

What a wonderful score.

[6000eliot]

79. I like Wall-E

but I picked Slumdog.

[Phoonzang]

80. Come on...at least give WALL-E best soundtrack....assholes. nt

[Phoonzang]

83. Ok...that's it....I'm going to cut this off....I don't think I can take this anymore.

[6000eliot]

84. Sorry.

And, to add insult to injury, we have to sit through those Disney kids again!

[Parker CA]

87. The music in Wall-E was great!! Slumdog is just running away with this. They should just hang a

huge banner that says, "Slumdog pwned all of you, no point in staying until the end."

[PBS Poll-435]

81. Shit is rigged

:eyes:

[leftyclimber]

85. I'm confused.

Did they all vote according to what Meredith Vieira wanted or something? :wtf:

[PBS Poll-435]

88. Seriously

AND....


I was just about to say that Regis is pulling the strings of the Oscar puppet!

:P

[leftyclimber]

Best original song: Jai Ho/Slumdog Millionaire

Enjoyed the Bollywood dancing. There's some inexplicable joy in the energy and the precision of the movement.

I wanted Peter Gabriel, but for all the wrong reasons (I'm a fan).

[nytemare]

86. For Chrissakes, WallE, Button AND Milk were better.

I may as well not even watch for Best Picture.

[PBS Poll-435]

90. You know whats coming

[charlie and algernon]

92. WALL-E's score is gorgeous

this is just getting ridiculous

[nytemare]

89. Gabriel will probably lose song to this as well.

Grripes.

[6000eliot]

93. I hope not.

I picked him to win.

[nytemare]

103. The songs from slumdog are just like every other bollywood songs

like all country songs and most r&b now. It will probably win.

Argh.

[PBS Poll-435]

105. Maybe the two DoucheDog songs will cancel themselves out?

:shrug:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

132. Peter Gabriel and one of the Newman family are not good enough.

This year.

YUCK.
I refused to go see Slumdog after someone on DU pointed out that it has child abuse in it.

:cry:

[Parker CA]

99. Throw someone else a bone at least. Make it a contest.

[6000eliot]

110. I've missed 5 now!

[leftyclimber]

115. He did.

Ooh, categories they can't win. Here they come. :evilgrin:

[nytemare]

141. Check in!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8546441

[IGotAName]

180. Something is definitely wrong here.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's not something geopolitical with India.

They just gave away the typical "runner-up" Best Picture Award, Best Director, to Slumdog.

The only thing, in my mind, that can save the night now and give some people who deserve it their due is if Milk wins Best Picture and Rourke wins Best Actor.

[PBS Poll-435]

183. That's what I am thinking

nt

[leftyclimber]

82. Score: Slumdog Millionaire

[SoCalDem]

94. Who's the girl in the pretty pink dress..? (presenting)

[PBS Poll-435]

97. Alicia Keys

:)

[stewartcolbert08]

98. Are you talking about

Alicia Keys? She is beautiful!

[PBS Poll-435]

100. She looks so grown-up and polished

Gorgeous!

[SoCalDem]

101. Yes she is:)

and her dress is perfect:)

[MadBadger]

96. My official "FUCK YOU OSCARS" COmment for not nominating Bruce Springsteen.

[fishwax]

116. agreed

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

120. agree! What was up with that?

[MadBadger]

127. Well obviously that wouldnt have fit into their cheesy musical number!

[FVZA_Colonel]

121. Seeing as Slumdog had a lock since day one, why the hell didn't they at least give him a nod?

Did they really need to nominate TWO songs from Millionaire?

[lavenderdiva]

125. agreed.

they made the Peter Gabriel song that was nominated sound just like the 2 Slumdog Millionaire numbers. They used the same drum players, very little change in the two other SDM numbers. I don't get why Bruce Springsteen's 'Wrestler' song wasn't at least nominated? And why can 2 songs from the same movie be nominated for Best Song? Seems like one song per movie should be the norm.

[IGotAName]

181. I know. nt

[6000eliot]

102. Another fucking boring production number!

[merh]

106. again, I agree

[6000eliot]

118. They just don't translate to television.

At least not the way the Oscars do them. I don't know why they persist in doing them.

[merh]

140. Heck, that first "the musical is back" conglomeration

didn't even utilize some of the best numbers available from musicals.

And like you say, they don't translate to television - reminds me of the movie "A Chorus Line" *shudder*

eta: Jackman wants the musical to return (as if it ever left) so that he can make more - the action films can be very trying on the body.

[fishwax]

104. I hope slumdog wins for best song

:evilgrin:

[nytemare]

111. It's all your fault!

:D

[fishwax]

119. I'd be happy to take responsibility for that

:)

[Parker CA]

117. This should be called, "The Slumdog Millionaire Talent and PR Commercial" not the Academy Awards.

[PBS Poll-435]

124. Right on.

My only conciliation is that Douchedog is absent from the best acting categories.

[aaronbees]

130. I'm glad it won.

It perfectly captures the energy of the film.

[PBS Poll-435]

107. WTF

:banghead:

[AbbeyRoad]

122. I concur. WTF

This is pathetic. Just declare Slumdog the winner of all categories and put this show out of its misery.

[nytemare]

142. Check in!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8546441

[nytemare]

108. Bull ass poopy shit crap.

[Phoonzang]

112. Yeah well, I don't LOVE your stupid movie. nt

[FVZA_Colonel]

113. Come on, throw something else a bone!

For God's sake!

[yellowdogintexas]

114. OK the production number for the 3 songs totally sucked and so did the song

I haven't seen Wall-E or Slumdog Millionaire, but surely there was better music than that in the movies this year.

Bollywood production numbers should really be left to Bollywood.

[fishwax]

128. I agree that the production number sucked, but

I thought the music in Slumdog Millionaire was great, and I'm glad it won for both score and song. I think Bruce Springsteen should have been nominated for song, though.

[Scooter24]

123. "Jai Ho" is an amazing song

and deserved it's Oscar win!

[LynneSin]

126. Someone answer me this question about Slumdog Millionaire...

how can this be the movie to beat for Best Movie and yet it did not get one acting nomination. I'm not sure if I'm saying that perhaps some of the actors were overlooked or question why Buttons or Milk aren't stronger candidates for Best Movie

[bigwillq]

134. They show the characters in Slumdog

at three different ages.

Only Dev Patel (the main male character) was in it long enough to really have any chance at a nomination. He was pretty good in it but he was not nominated.

[yellowdogintexas]

137. remember when the third Lord of the Rings movie won every single thing it

was nominated for, but NO actors were nominated.

I thought it was very strange no actors were nominated for that movie with so many excellent performers.

[aaronbees]

154. For what it's worth, it did land best ensemble acting...

at the Screen Actors Guild. After it won that, I really thought it had a chance here at the Oscars. I think no one in particular stood out enough to get a Oscar nomination, though maybe Dev Patel had a chance. I love the film but think its strength was the whole group of actors, young and older.

[Zuiderelle]

129. "All my life I've had a choice between love and hate... I chose love." A R Rahman

... for Best Song for Slumdog Millionaire. Beautiful.

[leftyclimber]

131. Best Foreign Language Film: Departures (Japan)

Haven't seen it. Anyone?

[6000eliot]

136. Me neither.

I've missed 6. I had The Class.

[Parker CA]

133. Presenters should act like it's Being John Malkovich. "Slumdog, slumdog slumdog slumdog. Slum Dog."

[lavenderdiva]

135. can we go to a Thread #3?

this one is getting pretty long...

[leftyclimber]

150. I'm down with it.

Should you start it, or should I (or someone else)? I don't want to end up with 8 million dupes.....

[leftyclimber]

138. WHERE IS THE IN MEMORIAM TRIBUTE?

I realize it's only 8 PM on the west coast, but for all the streamlining they've claimed, this whole thing seems to be dragging out rather badly. Their pacing started out so quick and snappy, and now it's just falling apart.

[Parker CA]

143. This is it with Queen Latifah. n/t.

[MadBadger]

144. now?

[leftyclimber]

147. Oh. Good. They heard me.

:rofl:

[6000eliot]

148. Heath gets the most applause, I bet.

[MadBadger]

152. Id guess Paul Newman

[6000eliot]

160. I didn't even see Heath. Was he in it?

[MadBadger]

170. No, he wasnt.

[leftyclimber]

153. I would have liked more for Paul Scofield and Stan Winston.

:(

[Darth_Kitten]

177. Yeah, Paul Scofield, not like he was a master at his craft or anything.

:eyes:

I was thinking the same about Scofield, there should have been more applause.

[leftyclimber]

191. Yeah, that Paul Scofield. What a hack.

:sarcasm:

[bigwillq]

158. I think they showed Heath last year.

Since he died just before the Oscars in 2008.

[6000eliot]

164. I remember now. I'm getting old!

[Parker CA]

159. Did they not include him? I didn't see him.

[Genevieve]

165. They did not. nt

[bigwillq]

172. No.

I believe they honored him last year since he died in Jan., right before the Oscars in 2008.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

195. No Anita Page?

She was the last living attendee of the first Oscars and shared top billing in "The Broadway Melody," the second film to win Best Picture.
She was leading lady to Clark Gable, Lon Chaney and Buster Keaton.

God, I hate the Academy! History is lost on them.

[zulchzulu]

139. Anyone know what Will Smith's pendent meant?

It looked like some kind of cross...

[PBS Poll-435]

145. Oh my god she is beautiful

Long live the Queen!

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

146. get ready for tears

[Hello_Kitty]

156. Paul Newman

:cry:

[yellowdogintexas]

174. yep I teared up over that one too nt

[Hello_Kitty]

149. This is nice. Retrospective of people who have died.

Queen Latifah has a nice singing voice and she looks gorgeous.

[Phoonzang]

151. I always found this kind of distasteful....

How some people get no applause and some get a standing ovation.

[PBS Poll-435]

157. It is kind of like a graduation ceremony

nt

[charlie and algernon]

161. Was Heath Ledger not listed? or did they show him while the camera was zoomed out?

oops, posted in the wrong spot

[Phoonzang]

163. I didn't see him... nt

[charlie and algernon]

175. that's f*cked up

a best supporting actor winner who dies doesn't get mentioned in the In Memoriam?? :wtf:

I also didn't see George Carlin.

[bigwillq]

179. You're right about Carlin.

But they honored Heath at last year's ceremony. He died in Jan. 2008, right before last year's Oscars.

[charlie and algernon]

184. ah, i stand corrected then

i forgot exactly when he died.

[nytemare]

176. Did he die just before last year's oscars?

[bigwillq]

178. Yes.

They showed him last year.

[crispini]

155. Why are they doing it this way? it's almost impossible to see the names

They should have it full screen.

[Hello_Kitty]

162. Really? I had no trouble.

I like the one they do on TCM at the end of the year.

[fishwax]

166. i agree -- that's one of many production elements that have been off tonight

[PBS Poll-435]

169. Attempting to be *modern,* i presume.

190. Perhaps, but she has acting chops.

That should be important.....but no, a woman always has to be picked apart.

Seems to me Mickey Rourke wasn't picked apart......
