conch5184 said:

probably... although IMHO lost in translation deserves to win

conch5184 said:

I think so, as well.

I watched the fellowship, and twin towers this weekend..

I am amazed at how much I pick up each time I watch these movies..

(Or maybe I just watch them to see Viggo Mortenson.)

For some reason I just cant get myself to sit through the Oscars, guess I'm hyper or something.

sag10 said:

ain't first avenue awesome? i need to send you some more...

Paisley said:

i am the same way about the superbowl.

cborgman said:

I usually cant sit still through the whole thing either, especially last years.

I just like to see the clothes...

cborgman said:

what about that inpromptu session. Is that funny or what? I couldn't stop laughing.

sag10 said:

I tune in for the speeches.

sag10 said:

CRACKS ME UP!
matt fink doing the popeye scat and wendy doing "our house" as bad opera...

sag10 said:

Me too Once I've had a good look at what everyone is wearing and I know who's with who, I go to bed.

cborgman said:

Yes, is this funny or what? Prince was so cracking up...

The Oscars are a big event my way, too. I'd love to have a full-blown party, but my friends and family don't get into it like I do.

glad you enjoy it, that one is a trip. not really the best boot i have, but one that immensley funny

Lammastide said:

I have some acquaintances who do that.. They get dolled up in tuxedos, and evening wear...

They have alot of fun.

Lammastide said:

same here, and people that talk during it drive me insane, unless they are saying something DAMN funny. i usually watch it by myself

if Ellen Degeneres doesn't get nominated for Finding Nemo there is no justice in this world. great great great movie, and a superb performance from her

sag10 said:

I like seeing the clothes too..the gorgeous dresses. One year Kate Winslet looked stunning in a red dress. she is gorgeous!

sag10 said:

There are one or two formal Oscar events like that here in Cleveland. Part of me would enjoy all the pomp and circumstance, but I'm sort of assuming the people would be snobs.

Xorn said:

it's a sure winner for best animated, would be rocking if it got best pic nomination too, but the odds of them recognizing any of the voice cast is really really low. but i do thinkit was one of the years best performances, suprisingly enough.

Xorn said:

I absolutely agree.

Lammastide said:

pardon if i'm being rude, but what would anyone in Cleveland have a reason to be a snob about?

So, (for those who don't know) I work for the Minnesota AIDS Project. Every year we do an annual gala fundraiser, "Hollywood" during which the Oscars are broadcast in a big theater, entertainment is provided and food and liqour are plentiful. (I believe this is done in many states). Of course all proceeds of the show go to MAP and a few other area non-profits.

Anyways, I'm part of the planning comittee for this year's event. So, tomorrow morning, I'm gonna be hanging out at a downtown MPLS Starbucks with a coworker, broadcasting the nominations and trying to get the word-out/sell tickets to our event! Whee!

I've always been a huge fan of Oscar nite and this year I have an extra reason to be excited!

Xorn said:

You know, I'm STILL trying to figure that out!
