AGREED. But I can't argue that the stuff that was nominated didn't deserve it.

I will say this. Jon Stewart on his worst night is still better than Ellen Degeneres on her best night.

So. Who thought it was too long this year?

Well...it went fast, for me...well the beginning really cause Jen was the first presenter and I was glad I didn't have to wait too long. Pretty much after that, I didn't bother to watch the last half of the awards show.

Apollo · Feb 25, 2008

Give him a break the writers began to work on the oscars this Wednesday....

Oh, I've said many times that I blame the writers. They clearly phoned it in and rushed it once the strike ended. It was more of the choice to have Stewart that is my problem. Stewart isn't that good at improv outside of the political realm. O'Brian would've been a better choice as he has a better sense for what works with an audience and what doesn't and is far better at adapting and improving accordingly.

In my opinion, Sweeney Todd was the biggest snubbed film of the year

Apollo · Feb 25, 2008

Steve Martin's Top 10 lines hosting the Oscars

"Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal's out of town."

(Standing in front of a giant Oscar statue) "We live in a great country. If this statue was in Afghanistan, it would have been destroyed right now."

"Eight hundred million people around the world are watching us and they're thinking the same thing: We're all gay."

Be sure to stay to the end of the show because at the end of the night we're going to vote someone out of showbiz."

"Please hold your applause until it's for me."

"If Tom (Hanks) wins tonight, it means that between us we will have three best actor awards."

(Picking Julia Roberts out in the crowd) "Julia, I miss our phone calls. But it seems that since you got caller ID, you're never at home."

(Discussing violence in movies) "I took a nine-year-old kid to see Gladiator and he cried through the entire film. But maybe it's because he didn't know who I was."

(Claiming that the FBI had a suspect for the Russell Crowe kidnap threats) "And Tom Hanks, you should be ashamed of yourself."

(After seeing Bjork's distinctive outfit) "I was going to wear my swan but I decided they're so last year."

They should have a Best Picture of the Decade award where they throw all the Best Picture winning films of that ten year frame into a hat, and have Jack Nicholson pick at random.

Surprises? Yeah there were plenty. Like, for example:

How the hell did The Bourne Ultimatum NOT win Best Picture? How on god's green earth did Matt Damon NOT win Best Actor? Best Director to the Coens?? Uh....Paul Greengrass FTW. And screw Tilda "Skeletor" Swinton. Julia Stiles supported the hell out of Bourne.

**** the Academy.

You weren't saying that last year when the Departed swept were ya?

Apollo · Feb 25, 2008

i just watched Annie hall the other day.....and God damn! how'd that win over The first Star wars!?!? I mean Really Now!! :cmad:

The Academy doesn't nominate films made before the last quarter of the year. Ridiculous innit.

Conan's never hosted. You're thinking of the Emmys. Who has the 2009 Oscars? If it is NBC, Conan will host simply as a way to get him main stream exposure prior to his taking over the Tonight Show later that year.

Arc-Light · Feb 25, 2008

The only big time screw job i can remember when driving miss daisy won over Glory and Field of Dreams......yeah i still cant believe that one.
