- Well, from MacFarlane's initial routine with Shatner to Streisand's loud deeply flat notes, it's been a whole night of cringes.
- No Gore Vidal in the memoriam?
Shameful.
Babs will never sing live again.
- oh no he didn't: gay reference thrown towards Richard Gere.
Bored2
- Renee Zellweger has a prominent FUPA.
- Did Babs just cost herself any chance of the "Gypsy" film, or did she never have a chance of getting it made?
- Barbra did ok but that last, lingering note was way bad.
She just might retire from singing live after reviewing this performance.
- Renee Z. and CZJ have both had absolutely shitty facelifts.
- Macfarlane is so smug and annoying.
- Oh, there was Mary Crawley in the Anna Karenina clip.
- No, he was referencing musicals in general.
- The shameless promotion of Chicago is really disgusting.
- I think Whitney was in last year's In Memorium segment.
- Whoever keeps asking, Seth didn't make a joke per se about Gigli, he just brought up that it was hard to believe that Ben is the same guy who did Gigli. And that he's so serious now he'll soon be asked to be called Benjamin.
- Babs did not sound great.

HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh my sides...

They can start by elimnatiing the host(s) and have the announcer announce the presenters.

- Babs will make a musical about Grandma Rose.
- Renee could not read the card through her squinting!

Your ears must be as old as her pipes.
- oh shit I didn't realize that blonde was Renee Z. She's not so squinty eyed tonight.
- "What exactly was the Gigli joke?"
Something like just a few years ago he was starring in Gigli, and now he's one of Hollywood's most respected directors.
Not the biggest insult in the history of the Oscars by far. Baffleck is too sensitive.
- Every time they cut to Ang Lee I think, "What's George Takei doing there?"
- [quote]First, Barbra was the best vocalist of the night
Finally, some genuine humor tonight!

- The non-Adele songwriter is the hottest guy there.
- Adele is beautiful.
- Yay! Adele!
- Is this some type of revenge because the US won more medals in the Olympics than the UK?
- Renee Zellwegger cannot read. It is her squinty eyes!
- No one is sweeter accepting an award than Adele.
- I wanted to hear Nora but couldn't. I thought I needed a hearing aid.
- I thought Babs did that song better than anybody, in 1981...
- I've always heard a (supposedly) true rumor that CZT is actually 10 years older than she reports. I have a tendency to believe it.
Straight%20OKC%20%22Frau%22
- They really shouldn't play the rape song from "A Clockwork Orange".
- Seriously, it looked like the "Chicago" people were trying to cover for Zellweger, or keep her upright.
WTF is going on with her?
- Adele has the right attitude. A few thanks and get on with it.
- I thought Renee looked better because she had a little weight on her.

- [quote]Seriously, it looked like the "Chicago" people were trying to cover for Zellweger, or keep her upright.
I had the same thought. Latifa was visibly holding her up.
- Nicole Kidman looked better tonight than she has in 15 years. Her face didn't have that pulled tight look and her hairstyle was soft and beautiful. Great sexy dress, too! Maybe she'll make a comeback after all.
- Where is Stewie Griffin??!! I would rather have seen him over the teddy bear.

You can tell who's doing coke.
Kristen Stewart?

- Congrats to QT, bitches.
- How come he didn't thank his partner?

- Is Tarantino delivering the thought out version of AnnE's dream speech?
I, I, I, I, I...
- Think of him what you will, Quentin Tarantino knows how to give a great acceptance speech. He's genuine, funny, and brief. Bland Hathaway could learn a thing or two from him (self obsessed bitch).
- Wow, what were they snorting at the Django pre-party?
- OMG having them play the Gone With The Wind theme as Tarantino spoke was a brilliant touch.
- Wow, he's definitely on something...
- I guess the director Oscar is going to Ang Lee next? Then JLAW, DDL, and Argo. Not a single surprise so far except for Christophe Watz.
- Poor Tony. No Oscar for you.
- Renee - drunk
Kristin Stewart and Quentin - coke.
- "Nicole Kidman went As to Cs. Too drastic a boob job for someone as thin as she is."
It could be just padding. Seriously, these women wear as much structuring underwear as a Victorian Duchess.

- YEAHHHHH Ang Lee wins
- Damn, does the Academy REALLY hate Steven???
- Ang Lee!!! Awesome.
- Maybe Life of Pi will win Best Picture over Argo? It's been winning a lot of stuff.
- Ang Lee sure is popular.
- She “cut the ball of her foot, quite severely on glass two days ago,” Stewart’s makeup artist, Beau Nelson, told PEOPLE. Stewart, who had a hard time finding flat Oscar-worthy shoes, is in “a little bit of pain,” he adds.

- The gown is horrid but the body is great.
- ANG LEEEEEEE!!!
- It's official, they pretty much HATED Lincoln.
- Assuming Life of Pi doesn't win the big prize tonight, Ang Lee must hold the record for most Best Director Oscars for films that didn't win Best Picture.
- Jane looks great but it's all artifice. Nothing real under that dress, wig or makeup.
- I could almost go straight for Jane. She's fucking hot in yellow.
- I hope Life of Pi wins best picture. Ben Affleck is a jerk.
- Wow, Ang Lee didn't want to waste time talking about the little people.
- So far the only prediction Nate Silver has gotten right is Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress.
- So Michael and CZJ are separated?
- I'm delighted. LOVED Life of PI
- I'd rather Pi than Affleck too. He's graceless.
- Jane looks like a sizzling '80s nighttime soap matriarch. Love it.
- Has LIfe of Pi been a big moneymaker? I don't know anyione that's seen it.
- Ang Lee should continue to win - he's still owed for The Ice Storm and Sense And Sensibility.
- R167 John Ford won 3 Best Directors where the picture didn't win Best Picture.

- Rebecca Pidgeon held onto DDL's sleeve for dear life... like she wanted DDL to drag her onstage with him.

- "explain Les Mis to me. What the hell do they mean "live singing?" You're telling me that if one of them fucked it up, they didn't get a retake?"
They were singing as the camera rolled, and got retakes. Seriously, some of the cast could have used a little time in a good recording studio.

DDL

Take note, AnnE.

Kate was the first to win 3 Lead Oscars.
- [quote]Did they ask Michelle Obama to announce Best Picture beause Lincoln had it in the bag?
No, they asked her because ARGO is CIA propaganda and she's an asset to the firm.
- Jennifer Lawrence is in the press room, DRUNK.
- They can't have the orchestra in the same room?? A big "Fuck You" to the musicians in the movie industry. Just the useless hired help can't come through the front door.
But as long as Ben Affleck's ass got kissed and he won't have to use toilet paper for the next three years and we got to hear his phony blather, well, it was worth it to have the orchestra far away.

- She has 3 more Hunger Games movies coming out. Two more David O. Russell movies. Her career hasn't peaked.
- I wonder how many people watching knew that J. Michael Riva who was cited in the Memorial section was the grandson of Marlene Dietrich?

What a lousy year for Star Deaths.

- R340,
Yes. I noticed the band was too lound at least a couple times. The balance wasn't right. It was undeniable with the closing song performed by guest Kristin Chenoweth and host Seth MacFarlane.
[italic]By the way:[/italic] Bring back Seth! He was the best host The Oscars have had in quite some time. Natural. Funny. And he didn't look like he was in pain, which is not the case with numerous who hosted or co-hosted in recent years. (Immediately springing to mind: James Franco.)
- Yes r379, Maria Riva will be 89 this year.
- "Bring back Seth! He was the best host The Oscars have had in quite some time"
I agree, R380.
- [quote]Were Celeste Holm, Jack KLugman, Charlie Durning and Ernie Borgnine really the biggest stars that died this past year?
Can't believe they omitted Andy Griffith.
- For those others who don't have TV, live in the middle of nowhere Pacific, Oceania, or East Asia, the US abc dot com website has excellent clips of some great show moments.
Also has trailers of all those films we've never seen. Highly recommend.
I used comments from this thread to choose which clips to watch during my lunch hour. Very entertaining, indeed.
If Seth MacWhatever were here with me now, all of my basic needs would be met.
- [quote]There were hardly any actors in the Memoriam segment.
Jesus Fucking Christ, I thought for sure they were eventually going to get to Ginny in Accounting!

- Seth looks like the lost Osmond brother.
- Did they mention John Ingle? He did films.
- Does Seth play on our team?

- Affleck and Phoenix are related by marriage. Casey Affleck is married to Rain Phoenix. With Ben chasing that Oscar like it was the Holy Grail and Joaquin so philosophically opposed to giving awards for acting, that must make for some interesting Thanksgiving family get togethers. I wonder if they hang out at all. Joaquin looked like he wanted to vomit when they showed the clip of him in The Master.
- Seth was nervous but as cute as a button
- One nice thing, I don't recall seeing the Oprahgarch anywhere the whole show.
- I found Seth annoying and he thought he was far more clever and funny than he was. He tried.
- Is Kristen Stewart the next Lohan?
- Oprah was at home watching the show while munching truffle popcorn, R392. At least that's what she said she'd be doing.
- [quote]Seth looks like the lost Osmond brother.
I think he actually resembles Christopher "Peter Brady" Knight--who looks like a lost Osmond brother himself--so you're half right.

- As fucking cute as you are, Seth, this was bottom third of successful Ocars. So it goes.
- OP, so what? who cares?
- The writers of the show let Seth down.
- He also looks exactly like Conrad Janis, a now-dead character actor.
- @r396, girls, girls, your're both pretty!
- [quote]Hell, Seth did just as good a job as anyone else has.
I agree. Those complaining about how awful he was, do you not remember the James Franco/AnnE Hathaway fiasco couple of years back? Was Seth any worse than Chris Rock, whose edgy humor fell flat among the audience? Or Ellen Degeneres who I remember to be disappointingly boring? Were Seth's jokes any worse than David Letterman's Uma/Oprah inanity? The kid did all right for what it is. The Oscar telecasts are always overly long and tedious, that's the nature of the beast.
- Just read an interview in which Jennifer Lawrence described herself as "so dykey" as a child. She must be gay. I feel a straight person would never say that out of fear of sounding horribly homophobic and mean.
- R399, Seth is supposed to be so brilliant that he should not have been so dependent on other writers. Of course then we heard the song he was nominated for and all thoughts of "brilliance" flew out of the auditorium.
- I wonder why Kristin Stewart's people let her show up looking like "a used cigarette butt"?
Seriously, if she felt as bad as she looked, tweeting apologies and a picture of how she looked would have let the whole world know she wasn't up to attending.
- JL looked like a dressed-up lesbian. She even tripped over her dress. Not looking good for the "femme" image.
- [quote]I wonder why Kristin Stewart's people let her show up looking like "a used cigarette butt"?
Well, she attended with her publicist. But maybe there's no controlling her.
- Why did she bother attending if she was injured? It wouldn't be hard to find a fill in.
- Seth sucked. I guess he thought many of those lines would be funny or appealing to younger. Instead, they were recycled older farts' jokes. Really, they were lame and predictable. I'm sixty and had to pinch myself to stay awake. Wasn't he on SNL? You'd think he knew better.
- [quote]By the way: Bring back Seth! He was the best host The Oscars have had in quite some time. Natural. Funny.
The critics sure disagree with you--to say nothing of Nikki Finke.

- Who the fuck gives a shit what Nikki Finke thinks?
- Intially, I did wonder why Peter Brady was hosting the Oscars.
- r412: Steven Spielberg
- Who the fuck is Niki Fink?
- [quote]Who the fuck is Niki Fink?
Well, she's certainly no Lens Dunham, that's for sure.
Lena Dunham
- Nikki Stinke or Nikki Fucke - either way, she's a total haggy cunt who "writes" a Hollywood column online that is full of grammatical errors and misspellings that a REAL journalist wouldn't make.
- Seth's main problem was that can't seem to improvise. How could he NOT EVEN COMMENT after the first time the Jaws music came on? And then he had another perfect set up when they mentioned that the orchestra was down the street.
And again, nothing when JLaw face-planted. He's just not quick enough on his feet to host a live show. As unctuous as Billy Crystal could be, he could at least quip.
- Deidre Hall is disgusted by the show, the host, the closing number. She had to mute it, and then shut it off.
- Just a little catch up on this thread:
Life of Pi has made about $700 M worldwide. Huge in the Far East. One of the biggest box office successes of the year.
Zosia Mamet's mother is Lindsay Crouse. They don't get along and are pretty much estranged.
- I enjoyed the show and I enjoyed McFarlane. I think that whomever hosts, directs, writes, or produces the show has a thankless job.
- I'm surprised that no one mentioned the way Affleck thought he was going to accept for Argo - all breathless -and was given the heave-ho at the mic by Grant Heslov. Clearly the Argo team has had enough of Affleck's ego now.
I still don't understand why Chastain had to present with Mrs. Affleck. She's not really a movie star.
- Except for the acting awards which were all presented by last year's winners as is customary, wasn't every other award presented by a duo or more?
Why should Chastain have been alone?
Violet Affleck
- You and I clearly watched different Oscar telecasts, R422. In the one I watched, Heslov spoke rapturously about Affleck before turning the mic over to Ben for as much time as he wanted.
- Who was the tranny sitting behind Samuel L. Jackson? Adam Lambert?
- [quote]As unctuous as Billy Crystal could be, he could at least quip.
You do realize that Billy Crystal wore an earpiece and had an entire team of comedy writers including Bruce Vilanch standing ten feet away backstage providing your much admired quips, don't you?
[quote]Clearly the Argo team has had enough of Affleck's ego now.
Wow, you project more than the local multiplex.
- Some of Seth jokes weren't funny. Like the Lincoln joke...it had already been done last week by Letterman and Conan.
- I saw Affleck step up and then Heslov moved him aside and started speaking...I FFwd from there. It was late. In the UK, they didn't even show the closing number.
R422
- So where were Tammy and the Will Smiths last night? Do they not get invites?
- [quote]Joaquin so philosophically opposed to giving awards for acting
So why was he there? Woody feels that way and never goes.
- [quote]I saw Affleck step up and then Heslov moved him aside and started speaking...
And Heslov explained as Producer he wanted to thank Ben as Director first. He was snubbed of a nomination, apparently the Best Picture directed itself. So he gave him his due. Then Ben spoke as a winning Producer because he couldn't thank himself as Director. It was actually a nice thing to do.
- And Heslov had to get in that HILARIOUS quip about him being a part of the trio of handsome producers.
You can be sure that everyone involved with Argo is grateful and madly in love with Ben Affleck. He will always be perceived as the force behind the success of the film, as proven by all the awards, except for the Best Direction Oscar, that he won for Argo.
As we all know now, the Oscar nomin snub probably worked in their favor in the end.
- [quote]You can be sure that everyone involved with Argo is grateful and madly in love with Ben Affleck.
Eeew.
- IMO Seth was great as host. He brought the goofy charm the Oscars need. And I love Shatner's line about McFarlane joining the Gay Mens Chorus in July 2015.
- I eat shit.
The Streep troll (tm)
- Was Viola Davis there?
- I thought they were supposed to have all the past actors who played James Bond present in tribute to 50 years of James Bond movies? What happened? Did I blink and miss it?
- [quote]So where were Tammy and the Will Smiths last night? Do they not get invites?
I know Tom Cruise is filming in London. Who cares about the Smiths? It's not like every A-list actor has to show up at the Oscars every year.
- No, but they do seem to be famewhores R438. They are usually seen preening on the red carpet. A few years ago they were attending the opening of an envelope.
- [quote]Why should Chastain have been alone?
Sometimes a nominated actor is allowed to present alone to highlight their accomplishment that year. IIRC Julianne Moore presented alone the year she was a double nominee. Cate Blanchett always presents alone. It isn't that unusual.
The only reason Mrs. Affleck was allowed to present is because she's Mrs. Affleck. Chastain was a good sport, it should have been her moment to bask in the spotlight.
- I was also surprised Phoenix showed up. Woody Allen has always stuck to his guns - he thinks these awards are absurd. There's even a joke about it in Annie Hall, of all films.
- Has Jess Cagle been sick? He didn't look so well the other night interviewing celebs on the red carpet.
- Mrs. Afflick has worked in movies.
- [quote] thought they were supposed to have all the past actors who played James Bond present in tribute to 50 years of James Bond movies? What happened? Did I blink and miss it?
They were approached, it was never announced. Both Oscar winner Sean Connery and Roger Moore are frail and didn't want to be dragged out to just stand there like circus monkeys, so it was scrapped.
- What the fuck is with this Indian report in the backstage interview with Tarantino? He handled it well, but weird.
http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D_L9KtHLUyXs
- It astounds me that people are criticizing him. Consider this: All of the Best Picture nominees (except "Argo") were for gloomy, gut-wrenchingly sad movies or obscure films that no one saw. The nominees were all from these downbeat movies (has there ever been a less glamorous bunch of nominated actors and actresses?)
Somehow Seth MacFarlane was supposed to turn these off-putting films and the notoriously tedious long ceremony into something entertaining that people (especially younger people) would watch. And he...did it!
Instead of celebrating his achievement everyone's going over every second of the broadcast with the suspicious determination usually reserved for purported UFO footage or the Zapruder film fishing for every possible joke that they might have forgotten to be offended about. Are as many people watching "Argo" on Amazon? How many armchair critics pre-ordered their DVD release of the elderly couple facing decline and death? How many even know how to pronounce the name of the little girl from "Beasts of the Southern Wild"-and where were the packed theaters for that movie? I don't think it even played anywhere near where I live, so the notion of a 9 year old winning best actress only added to the absurdity and irrelevance of the event.
It was due for a reality check. The "boob song?" I'm gay, but I know that every straight guy got the joke. Remember how charged up us gays were by the "8th Wonder of the World" between Michael Fassbender's legs-even George Clooney joked about it-and in "Shameless" he played a hopeless sex addict.
So some of the women who bared their breasts on film were portraying victimized characters? People take screen caps out of context., because they are out of context! I'm sure the majority of straight guys enjoyed seeing the bare breasts of movie stars as gay guys like seeing the actors who are brave enough to go "Full Monty." The truer the joke the more uncomfortable people get-that's the exact definition of satire.
And Seth MacFarlane is one of the masters of creative, zany, over-the-top-but bracingly honest pop-culture satire Hollywood has ever produced. He's like Robin Williams with sanity and smarts.
The only revolutionary difference this year is that people were already complaining about how awful the Oscars were-while they were still happening! I think the two jokes that were out of line and awkwardly unfunny: the Adele/Rex Reed joke and the Mark Wahlberg/"Jews run Hollywood" bit seemed to come from desperation at being knocked off balance by the flood of hate Tweets that began seconds into the show.
Rest assured next year Seth MacFarlane probably won't host. Who ever does will be eaten alive, the ratings will never be this high again and by the first commercial break the Twitterati will be crying out-"(blank) is the worst host ever! Why couldn't they get Seth MacFarlane again! He was great!"

- While it's a shorter list, Seth could have made some DL points with "I saw your dick, I saw your dick." All would have been forgiven.
- Seth MacFarlane trolls on DL - who knew?
At least they'll shut up about South Park for a while now.
Give%20it%20a%20rest.%20That%20Oscar%20ship%20has%20sailed%20%28and%20sunk%29.
- Will Amy Adams ever win an Oscar? What will it take? Should she go the Hilary Swank route and butch it way up? Should she go the Reese Witherspoon route and play a small part as a dead singer then get nominated in the lead category?
She can't go the Halle Berry route because she isn't a suffering Negro. (Or not just plain nuts.) She's not married to an antiquated and possibly stuff actor, so the CZT route is closed to her.
How about the Charlize way, play a serial killer?
- She should go half-retard, R449.
Tropic%20Thunder
- R449, Amy Adams may be better off without the "Oscar Curse". She really does have an ideal career - alternating critic-impressing indies with franchise films, and avoiding scandal and overexposure.
- Why didn't Clooney get to speak for Best Picture award. He was a producer too.
- Seth's rug was awful!!! Hairline drawn in with a black Sharpie!!
