    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!

    I TiVo'd the whole thing and will watch it later today. I just can't stand the commercials any more. Maybe that is what more people are doing these day.

  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.

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

    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.

    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!

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

    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 !!!!!!

    YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. FOR THE FIRST HALF I WAS LOOKING FOR SUBTITLES.

    NOBODY WHO COULD SPEAK ANY ENGLISH WAS WINNING. NOT THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT YOU ARE WRONG.

    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. :(

    The show was so terrible I actually cleaned my house while it was on, coming back in only for the acting awards. The E show leading up to the program was a lot more fun.

    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!!!

    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

    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…
