It was so boring. I am glad it bombed. I am so sick of these rich people thinking they are better than everyone.
two words…………NO TALENT!
Usually all the Alist actors are there but not this year.
these celebrity nut jobs are so full of themselves, they'll probably continue to broadcast this crap it even if the ratings go to ZERO, which is where they're headed. This is the YOUTUBE generation. Stand up and be counted folks. Hollywood celebs don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.
The novelty of celebrities is starting to wear off. People are becoming less interested. Not to mention, the current celebrities are messing up their public lives and people are having negative opinions of them. It's hard to take them seriously anymore. We are just beginning to not care anymore.
because it's 4-5 hours of people, some of who I never heard of, giving each other oral blow jobs. Where it is more important of what designer you wear, than who won. I just read the winners the next day. And it is a reason for hollywood to give parties. Like Elton John, where most of the people there were not at the oscars. Or Swag, time for the leeches who aren't even invited to the awards, again to come out for freebies. The respect the Ceremony once had is gone for many.
The show was pretty decent considering the material they had to work with (those numbers from Enchanted? Hello, Disney owns ABC). Halle Berry and Dame Judi were hysterical; so were Josh Brolin and the Scottish actor from Atonement. I was perturbed that Rob Thomas' "Little Wonders" from Meet the Robinsons was not nominated. Aslo ticked off about Brad Renfro…
They need to get Ellen back next year if you ask me. John Stewart didnt do a bad job. He's just kinda boring.
Re: VOTE OBAMA – But yet you choose to come on here…Nice one mate(Y)
Without Billy Crystal (or our departed favorite Johnny Carson) the Oscars are totally boring. Jon Stewart is NOT funny at all and his monologues just make you yawn. Who picked him??
Too bad the ratings were down, the show was nice I thought!
Well, the good news is that the ratings for Love, JD are waaay up! So go check out www.lovejd.tv and catch up on the drama!
Nobody cares about these self congratulatory overpaid pompous blowholes!
Dear Fug,
Man your an idiot. Who cares, WHO CARES, WHO CARES!? I honestly can't believe you get this kind of fame for being a pathetic gossip mongrel your far worse then any of these idiots you cover because without them you would be less then nothing, just another ugly fat kid trying to get laid. Your taste in music is HORRIBLE your taste in fashion is FAR worse then horrible and your over all physical shape is horrendous. You should just close down this site, buy yourself a gym membership and retreat to a place where no one will ever see or hear from you again, at least that way you would finally make a positive influence on society.
Sincerely,
common sense
all awards shows are crap especially this pos
MAYBE BECAUSE IT SUCKED!
Well let's be realistic.. it's a snooze fest. Who really wants to see these rich phoney celebrities prance around in their designer shit and act like they are all high and mighty. Then you sit there and just watch them win awards for a lot of shitty movies and things. No thanks… it's a major snoozefest!
2008 Oscars was disappointing! If not for Johnny Depp, George Clooney & Jack Nicholson, in the audience, I wouldn't of watched it.
I Love the Oscars but this time around, there were no big stars other than the above ones, so it seemed lame.
Maybe the writer's stike threw things into a last minute, throw something together, type of night?
Oh…well….better luck next year!
P.S. I'm waiting for the year, Johnny Depp finally gets his Oscar, he Deserves!
thank you writer's strike
The academy awards are supposed to honour films from around the world, so I don't see why it's an issue that Non-Americans were winning awards.
Probably because no one cares about the oscars I think the whole thing is such a joke and so pretentious.
It was, as usual, a borefest!!!!!!
thats not shocking…there wasnt any surprises…remember last year with jennifer hudson and abigail breslin?
Maybe that's b/c they left out Whoopi Goldberg!!! WTF!?!?!
Oh come on! I thought it was a pretty good ceremony this year. I've only been watching the show since 3 or 4 years ago, but I think this was probably the best one I've seen.
Jon Stewart was a riot. I liked Ellen as well, but Jon's just slightly edgier…
This show is stupid its only for old people that go. lame i never watch it. BOrrrrrrrrringgggggggggggggggggggggg….. They should add young fun singers and winners
IMO, the Oscars are a joke now because even though I'm only 20 years old, the Oscars were a big deal growing up because you actually had talented people sitting in the audience, not to mention the hosts like Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg were marvelous. I remember the years when you had hollywood heavyweights that would show up even though they weren't nominated and that's what it all about. A celebration amongst actors celebrating their craft. I remember when you would see Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, William H. Macy, Michael Douglas, Sophia Loren, Meryl Streep, Sharon Stone, Sally Field, Helen Hunt, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Jon Voight, Elton John, Leonardo Dicaprio, Will Smith, Robin Williams amongst others sitting in the audience and you would really feel proud. Now you have losers like Jon Stewart hosting the Oscars, Jessica Alba gets her little 2 second screen time, 2 fat idiots arguing about whos Halle Berry, a montage dedicated to binoculars and a bunch of nobodies in the audience like Jennifer Garner. The real heavyweights like Oscar nominees and winners didn't even bother to show up when years ago people like Elizabeth Taylor would be sitting there amongst her peers. The Oscars are a joke, its like you want to be an actor? join a reality show and work your way from there…
GOOD!!! that's what they get for the horrible job at nominating, especially for keeping SHAKIRA's "Despedida" or "Hay Amores" from Love in the time of cholera out of the best song category ……
I usually watch the last hour-hour and a half so to me it was a good show. I saw all of the nominated films in the major categories, and I think the selection this year was pretty arty. It wasn't as corny as usual which is fine with me. And No Country for Old Men is a really, really good movie. Most of the nominees were really deserving. Too bad Depp didn't win. I think he's fated for the dreaded lifetime achievement=you're old oscar. Day-Lewis is such a scenery chewer- sometimes he's unintentionally funny.
GOOD. I'M GLAD THE RATINGS ARE CRAP. THE OSCAR CHOICES, WINNERS AND NOMINEES ARE TOTALLY REMOVED FROM WHAT THE PUBLIC REALLY WATCH OR WANT.
It probably had a lot to do with lack of build up. there wasn't that much advertising since there was the writer's strike up til the last minute
OMG-everyones comments are frickin' hilarious, and spot on! I watched the sad show. Ummm, what is UP with Renee Zelwegger? I am sure Kenny Chesney is glad they got their marriage annulled. She looked terrible with her hulking shoulders and ugly hair cut. Amy Adams=PUKE. Tilda Swinton-was she in her costume from Narnia? Frickin' Scary-AS-Hell.

Jon Steweart is a commie liberal. His whole act is old. Bring Billy Crystal back.
Good! I am sick of seeing self-righteous people pray to their golden idol.
That's because only you dumb ass fags and liberals are still watching this pablum.
I'm sure it was because of the uncertainty from the writer's strike… I wish I could've watched it!
Fuck the Oscars, the ppl who should win never does, and last night was a BIG DISSAPOINTMENT!!!!
They were pretty boring this year. Jon Stewart was a little funny, but he should have done more material on the movies and stars instead of so much politics. It was boring because who knew any of the winners?? The acceptance speeches were boring. I think I am just burnt out on awards shows - there are too many and really they are just actors, directors, etc. - none of them have cured cancer, although they take themselves so seriously you'd think they had. I think this is why some of them try to promote so many causes, because they know how insignifcant and shallow their lives really are. Of course, some of them turn to drugs and other addictions to deal with it and then there are the really pompous and shallow ones who really believe they are special.
Because the age of the celebraty is OVER!
No one care execpt gays and tweeny girls…
The Oscars bombed just like Perez's show on VH1 bombed, big time.
The economy is crap and people are having trouble paying their bills. Why would anyone want to watch a bunch of self indulgent over paid jackasses congratulate themselves.
They lost me at the intro…. Using CGI for all those scenes/characters from movies over the last 80 years??? It should have been a movie clip montage! Not only that but it should have at least been movies that were OSCAR WORTHY… how dare they include scenes/characters from Transformers, Terminator, Die Hard and a bunch of other irrelevant movies? And the presenters? Not all of them were B-listers, but they should start to consider using ONLY previous Oscar nominees or winners as presenters… makes it much cooler… Gil Cates wake up! I wonder if he just dialed in his production or actually WORKED on this, or called in sick yesterday. Because if he did work on this he needs to retire. Time for new blood. Only seeing the FABULOUS Helen Mirren made we go WOW! Other than that I was BORED out of my mind!
Maybe it's because they were completely INACCESSIBLE from all the other parts of the world! They only showed the Oscars on private channels, atleast in France and the UK… and the plug in on the Oscars website couldn't be downloaded from abroad either… THEY'RE DISGUSTINGLY GREEDY! It's become purely business now…
Hmmm….well we are here so we do read about celebrities! But the whole celebrity worshipping thing makes me want to vomit! I crack up at celbrities and how they walk, talk, hide their faces as if they are someone above everyone else! I enjoy artists like movie stars, musicians, etc… but they are people just like the rest of us! I think they make WAY too much money as do professional athletes - it's sickening! So, the whole strike thing bugged me…they make money….lots of it…when a salesperson sells a product (phone, radio, shirt, book, etc)….do any of them get paid each time that product is used? NO!!! Writers want to get used each time their work is used and they cried like babies and put everyone else out because they are greedy and wanted more! So, they complained because they weren't bringing in income during their strike…and the move stars supported them…I didn't understand this…if you are struggling financially….then wouldn't they have really gone back to work and forget about the strike?
HOLLYWOOD MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP WORSHIPPING THE GROUND THEY ALL WALK ONE - IT'S PRETTY GROSS!
That is because it was BORING AS HELL!!!
I never even heard of most of the movies!
Jon Stewart who sometimes entertains spent the evening entertaining himself, Amy Adams should have sung the Disney Song instead of Kristin whoever. WAY, WAY to many foreign movie awards. Jacks always up front in his really cool Raybans who really cares. Juno should have won more.
A bunch of winners which most people will forget who won within a few days.
-
Almost as bad as when that idiot won a few years ago for that foreign film and climbed around on the seats and everyone thought it was funny.
-
Transformers got robbed, should have won Visual Effects over that crappy Golden Compass.
i think it is dissapointing too because jon stewart did a swell job and i thought it was a good show
Re: Nationally or Internationally? – Re: Nationally or Internationally? – i quite agree with you. it's much classier than last year's. and i love who won for best actress. i thought it was well deserved.
i do not watch becuz they snub Brangelina. The other stars pale in comparison…
With dreary and depressing movies like "No Country for Old Men" leading the pack, it's no wonder people turned away in droves.
I did think that "Juno" got a raw deal though.
Re: kate – Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren won almost all of the award shows last year and when Oscars came around, guess who won? Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren! THAT'S predictable.
Because none of the guests were big celebrities expect johnny depp,george clooney,nicole kidman,renee zelweger(sp),cameron diaz
yeah cate blanchett,hillary swank are talented but people don't care about them.
you are ridiculous.
they nominate people who are talented, it has nothing to do with ethnicity. GET OVER IT. THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE SOMEONE OF EVERY RACE AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION ON THE FUCKING THING.
They did suck, and that host was terriable
THE OSCAR WAS BORING CUZ WHITE PPL ARE BORING…SHITZ
Obama - you are a wank jockey! Perez is fabulous!
That abissmal rating could have something to do with the lame ass host. He is so crap i actually looked forward to the non-english thank-you/receival speeches! ha.
if the would have advertised better i would have watched it had no idea it was on and what channel or time so its there falt
That shit was boring. I turned the tv off it was so boring.
well its because people had to sell their tv's cuz of the economy.. HAHAHA!!! FUCK GEORGE W. BUSH!! google ron paul! he'll fix what this fucktards done!
do we really need to watch overpaid, out of touch idiots pat themselves on the back for earning more money than most people see in a lifetime? I think not!
jon stewart was the only bearable part of the show - in fact he was really good. he was wittier than ellen. the only funny thing she does is act like a spaz. i think the average person is getting really sick of hollywood. i went to hollywood over the summer. you have to remember that across the street from the kodak theater is a blinged out mcdonald's. it's definitely not that glamorous, and quite frankly most of us are perfectly content with our quality of life that we don't yearn for the transient glamor of hollywood. i also hate the pompous self-congratulatory nature of the show. it's nauseating.
maybe so much starlet….where s Nicholson,De Niro the famoooous star ?…….
I know this is an entertainment blog, so forgive me if I insult anyone, but in the whole scheme of what is going on in this world, why would anyone want to waste 4 hours of their life watching a bunch of plastic surgery addicted over paid no talent "actors" praise and congradulate each other. Its gross considering we have soldiers dying, a trillion dollar debt, a homophobe president, etc etc etc…
well too bad because i LOVED the oscars and jon stewart was HILLARIOUS!
Not surprised by this at all. I am an avid Oscar watcher and I only watched about 1/3 of the program before going to bed. I was completely and utterly not interested in this year's program.
Maybe because the nominees sucked. Sorry, I am all for multiculturalism, but I didn't know 75% of the nominees. It's no fun to watch someone you don't know win an award. Also, I am so sick of the overly violent and dramatic movies. There Will Be Blood…No Country For Old Men… Sorry, but a movie doesn't have to be that intense to be a good movie. The Sound of Music is a classic and there was no blood and gore. We need to have some HAPPIER movies!! Seriously!!
BRING BACK ELLEN AS A HOST AND THE RATINGS WILL GO BACK UP!!!!
with PVR technology today, I'm sure many people recorded the oscars instead of watching it live. Jon Stewart was hilarious.
who wants to watch a show that we already know who is going to be the winners, usually are the white men and women, this show should change his name to THE ALL WHITE CLUB AND THEN SOME color people just to make the status quote. shame on the Oscars.

well that;s because it was ONLY on on sky one and i dont have sky one at home
((((((((((((
Get some good drawing Cards and the crowd will tune in DUH!!! Madonna Angelina & Brad, Hilary & Obama, Britney&,Justin & Kate,Tom Brady & Gisselle give em' hell they'll tune in, spend a few bucks , who wants to look at the Coen brothers all nite eewwww
Who wants to watch the same shit over and over again? You can only watch a group of egomaniacs so many times before you get bored.
Worst hair ever?
the oscars have ALWAYS been known as The Ultimate Snoozefest. i don't know why everyone is so surprised.
Re: VOTE OBAMA – hahahahaha why are you so upset ????
FUCKING FREAK !!!!!
take your meds and chill out DOUCHE BAG
hahahahahaha The Oscars BOMBED !!!!!!!!
I'M REALY HAPPY IT DID !!!!!!!!
HYPOCRITES !!!!!!!Re: FUCK OFF – um there were black people too and brown people last night DOUCHE BAG !!!! so do you mean we all are boring ????? all race then are boring you fucking ASSHOLE !!!!!!
you are a fucking RACIST PIG
stop with the race card DIPSHIT
Gay men, the people who truly run Hollyweird (you know who they are) Celebretards and retards only watch this crap. This is a show where something very funny and amazing might happen. How about next year find a way to increase your ratings!!!! And make better movies. How about a category for student short?? There are people out there doing a better job then Hollyweird when it comes to movies.
Well their lost, this was one of the best, funniest telecast that I've see, well since Johnny Carson was host
Re: EAT ME – U SHOULD GO TO ANGER MANAGEMENT….COME AND GET ME PUNK…..EAT ME…LMFAO
thats because it was boring as hell, worst year ever…. agreed
Movies are stupid and a fucking fake to begin with…anyone with a half brain shouldn't watch these dumbasses grapple over Oscar Meyer Weiner.
who cares about a bunch of limosine liberals- flying in private planes, living in Italy and owning yachts and then BITCHING about Republicans. Dumb asses. If they want more taxes, they should send their extra money in- nothing stops them. Moaning bunch of illiterate, self-congratulatory egotists.
This is now a day and age where not many people care anymore….Thank God!!! Too much going on in the world than to watch another meaningless award show…Especially this one!!!
It was very boring and long….and the music,sucked even more….never watching againsucked big times
Yet still they keep inviting Jon Stewart back.
Maybe they should start nominating movies that people actually see, and giving awards to people who deserve it (i.e. Johnny Depp).
21% loss of viewers from 2007 because :
ELLEN DEGENERES > JON STEWART
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
mayb if the oscars were actually about movies people actually gave a shit about we'd watch it. those movies were booooring. Same opening clip and i think jon stewart wore that same suit for LAST years Academy Awards..
muhahahahaha my plan of total absolute evilness is working.
The Internet is killing the life blood of celebrities!!
To my Anonymous warriors,
You have done well. I am proud of your loyalty to our ultimate goal. Keep seeding those torrents. We shall soon take down Mr. Cruise and his brainwashed army of Scientologists.
Next year's goal is a 23% reduction in viewership over this year.
By providing our own entertainment avenues we may increase the availability of alternative content to such a staggering level that popular culture will continue to become segmented.
Also, a spring goal for all younger members of Anonymous:
GO DRINK IN A PUBLIC PARK with some of your local Anonymous comrades. Officer Brady needs a work out, the Krispy Kremes and lack of trouble in your neighbourhood is getting him out of shape.
Good work, I am proud.
ehh it was boring i saw no action what so ever
Don't the oscars realize that we live in America not WHITE America. It's stupid that this world has hispanics, indians, blacks, asians and puerto ricans to name a few. Really the Oscars are uplifiting alot of names and most of them can't act. They really need to get with the times. I purposely didn't watch it because all of america isn't represented and that needs to change!!!!!!
jon whoever he was sucked big time i'm sorry to say. bring back hosts like whoopi goldberg, billy crystal, steve martin etc. they were true professionals and were funny with a capital "F".
