    That's disappointing, because I had a lot of fun watching the telecast (though I could have done without the singing of the nominated songs).

    Fucking LAME!!! The WORST was whenever Jon Stewart would stop and remind us of what a "great moment" we JUST FUCKING SAW!?!?!? Are people So completely fucking drugged up that they can't remember what they just FUCKING PROCESSED less than a fucking NANOSECOND EARLIER?!?!? Fire GIL FUCKING CATES IMMEDIATELY! Get RID OF EVERYONE involved with this BLIGHT!!!! (and then prepare a painfully LONG MONTAGE as to why they have FUCKED EVERYTHING UP!). THANKS ASSHOLES!!! They would have done better by hiring a bunch of Mexicans from the Home Depot parking lot and having them produce the fucking SHOW!

  31. Nationally or Internationally? says – reply to this


    31

    All the winning actors were from outside of the US. I thought it was one of the more elegant shows I've seen, except for all the musical garbage. Yuck, Keri Russell. Yuckier, Enchanted. gag gag gag.

  32. Oscars should be held overseas says – reply to this


    32

    Even the red carpet was boring, except for Gary Busey, he rocked. Why was Miley "Billy Ray Cyrus" there?

  33. dee says – reply to this


    33

    really…viewership down? the word must have gotten out you'd be there!
    that's a buzz kill in any language…i thought the show went well. awards shows are just that…awards shows…not that you'll ever receive one…unless its the prick of the century…and not in a good way…lol

  34. K-Swan says – reply to this


    34

    Yeah that's cos noone gives a shit about those people.
    Why sit and watch a show where people who already love themselves so much pat themselves on the back in front of everyone?

    How about celebrating all the people who make this world a better place? Moms and Dads, garbage men, scientists, secretaries, good doctors, etc.

    Fuck hollywood and its superficial awards shows.

    42

    there were no people of color nominated….. that means LATIN, AFRICAN
    AMERICAN, ASIAN, GAY&LESBIAN, ALL PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS. THE OSCARS HEADS NEED TO REALIZE THAT WE PLAY A BIG PART IN VIEWING AND PURCHASING MOVIES, AND IF WE DON'T SEE OURSELVES BEING REPRESENTED THEN WE JUST WON'T PARTICIPATE IN WATCHING OPEN YOUR EYES OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!!

    This was directly due to Jon Stewart's un-funny hosting. He is just not likable. I turned if off early and NEVER do that. This morning they did a montage of the funniest parts to prove how great the writing was etc. None were funny! And you don't put pictures up of pregnant women and say "and the baby goes to…" Some of those women have had miscarriages for gods sakes!Such poor taste!

  46. CindyLG8 says – reply to this


    46

    Bring back Whoopie, Ellen, Billy, Steve Martin, anyone WHO IS FUNNY!!!! Then I'll stay tuned.

  47. who cares says – reply to this


    47

    Now Hollywood knows we really don't give a shit about their self-congratulations know as awards shows. I guess the strike really didnt need to end afterall. DOes this mean next year they will just bag the whole dumb-ass affair??

    SEEMS JOHN STEWART THINKS HE'S PRETTY FUNNY ……… TOO BAD THE ACADEMY DIDN'T FLASH AN APPLAUSE SIGN SO HE COULD GET THE LAUGHS ………… NOTE TO ACADEMY ………. FIND ANOTHER HOST ……… STAT !!!!!!

  51. Oscars Sucked! says – reply to this

    So boring and Jon Stewart is not big enough to host the show. He is not Johnny Carson or even Whoppi Goldberg. It is getting really lame. :(

    Re: MRS TLP

    FUCK YOU! You whimpering BITCHES had Ruby FUcking Dee (the most talentless bitch in the history of token considerations– I MEAN BAD ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT OLD TITANIC BITCH look like meryll Streep!)… Perhaps they aren't being considered because the MAJORITY of them/you don't have any real talent, and there are only so many awards that they could give out to "How She Moove 2: Electric Fucking Boogaloo)! Stop bitching about your fair share and start thinking about why you don't deserve it you hand-out INFANT CUNT!!!

  64. Natalie says – reply to this


    64

    There were no interesting thrilling movies this year and definitely no fabulous beautiful winners or nominees to watch. All the winners were foreigners we don't know and alot of the stars were older and/or ugly instead of young and beautiful. We watch for glamour and beauty and it was lacking

  65. OMG IM RIGHT says – reply to this


    65

    ITS BECAUSE THEY NOMINATED PEOPLE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF

    WHO THE HELL IS JULIE CRISTY? RUBY DEE?? THAT OLD WHITE MAN?? THAT LITTLE IRISH OR SCOTTISH GIRL??

    NOMINATE PEOPLE WHO DID A GOOD JOB AND PEOPLE KNOW!! NOT PEOPLE LIKE RUBY DEE THAT WAS IN THE MOVIE FOR 5 SECONDS

    JON STEWART SUCKED ASS SERIOUSLY

    PLUS WE WANT MORE DIVERSITY

    Thats cuz it was a damn snoozfest. I fell asleep twice in the first hour.
    I finally changed channels right after that bitch singing about cleaning. WTF
    John Stewart is no Ellen, bring her back for next year.

    I watched the first half hour and gave up to go wash dishes. Boring as any show could ever get. The only thing I saw that was worth looking at was the diamond necklace around Garner's neck. B.O.R.I.N.G.

    Maybe if Hollywood made some pro American movies, instead of spitting on us and expecting us to pay to watch
    sean penn, sharon stone, etc. hate America, give us all back our money we shelled out over the years. They couldn't even muster up applause for our soldiers…

    The shows that were up for nominations were not ones that anyone would want to see. To the high falutin' critic, these shows were excellent. To the normal, average, everyday movie goer (like me), these movie genres are curiously unappealing and crass. I want to be entertained during a movie, not have to come out with a chip on my shoulder and second guess history. Also, celebrities are no more deserving of any extra kudos than any other profession. Hollywood's belief that they can affect our politics is also annoying. They are actors for crying out loud; leave the important stuff to the people who know what they are talking about!

  81. Heavily Medicated says – reply to this


    81

    Thats cause no real A Listers were nominated for anything this year besides maybe George Clooney Who Lost all the major categories were won people NO ONE heard of… P.S No Country For Old Men should have been called NO MOVIE FOR YOUNG PERSON boring piece a crap…

    88

    This is great that the show bombed BIGTIME! Americans are getting sick of these morons actors who live pretend lives as other people running off at the mouth about the war in Iraq, global warming, health care and other non issues. No one cares about these morons anymore. They have not produced decent movies in ages so why should we watch them strut their botoxed fat asses down a red carpet wearing tasteless 'designer' clothes and dripping with loaned diamonds. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE ABOUT HOLLYWOOD! The MORON Writers dealt a death blow to Hollywood, and when the MORON actors vote for a strike in a month or so we shall be blessed with not seeing their botoxed faces anymore! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To be fair, it was a pretty boring Academy Awards this year. I kept waiting for it to get good…never happened.

  90. frankyboy says – reply to this


    90

    Well, it's the first time all the films nominated were in fact all quality films. So maybe there is a correlation there. AMERICA IS DUMB, DOESN'T LIKE GOOD FILMS, WHICH MEANS, DOESN'T WATCH THE OSCARS. Simple as that.

  91. CB says – reply to this


    91

    I'm not surprised. The general public is just so disenchanted with celebrities anymore. The "news programs" dedicated to the daily celebrity happening, the multiplicaiton of tabloids, hell, even CNN covers the breakdown of Britney Spears. It is just categorical overload.

    EXACTLY!!! Also Except some big names we didn't see big celebrities who is marion cottilard? nobody knows her in the usa i dislike tomkat brangelina but at least they are entertaining and glam.The other A list stars weren't really glamour or well dressed it was boring.

    I have no idea who any of these actors are. They should nominate movies like "Knocked Up" and "Chuck and Larry" if they want ratings.
