2009 Oscar Live-Slog
Comments are closed.

My wife and I lasted ten minutes, during the award of the Supporting Actress Oscar.
My wife: “They aren’t showing clips from the movies that were nominated? I was hoping to get a glimpse of the movies, otherwise there’s no context for the awards…”
Me: “No, I don’t think they usually do….”
My wife: “Oh, well, forget it, then.” (switching over to news)
NOSE PENIS!!!! mwahahaha!!!!Congrats, S.Penn.
I’d like to thank my mom, my dad, my dog’s massage therapist, and the LiveSlog moderators Lindy and David.
Thanks again, Lindy and David. I always enjoy these things.
Is it wrong I’m happier for Sean Penn than Heath Ledger?
No… Sean Penn is alive, while Heath Ledger is not.
Titanic was DEFINITELY the worst Best Movie. Ever.
I dunno, Gump was pretty fucking horrible. But there have been many, many awful Best Pictures. Braveheart was a steaming turd. Dances With Wolves was awful. Going back a little further, Oliver! was atrocious. Ben-Hur. And having the Best Picture actually be the best picture? It’s almost unheard of. It’s unusual for the good ones to even get nominated for anything.
But David Schmader is still a fat, talentless turd.
Um, 9, your opinion doesn’t matter. So.
So… Big night for the gays, huh?
What the fuck was wrong with Ben Hur?
bad best pictures..yeah i like ben hur..but for the life of me can’t figger out all the love towards the sound of music…
but as bad as it was it wasn’t the heap of dung that crash was.
@9: You’re wrong. Schmader oozes talent. Also, he’s not fat. During Battlefield Earth in the From Bad to Worse series, I actually commented to my companion about how much he had slimmed down since I’d last seen him. Not that he was ever fat, but now he’s even LESS fat.
@10 So…. what? Were you trying to make a legit argument or trying to get all of that cum out of your mouth? Either way, you’re wrong. david is a fat, retard, moron who believes that watching ‘Showgirls’ makes him an intellectual. He either needs to lose some serious weithage or kill himslef.
Sad to see that Penn got an Oscar for playing a workplace harasser.
@15,
Himslef?
@17… The only reason you were not aborted is because of your mother’s last shot of whiskey. Talk about the argument, moron. And David is still a fat, waste of space.
“weithage”?
I look forward to the day:
1) The GAY movie can actually WIN best picture, not just screenplay and actor (as Philadelphia and Milk did, Brokeback Mountain got screenplay and SHOULD have won Actor).
2) The hero of the GAY movie is actually alive at the end of the picture.
3) A Best Actor/Actress is a GAY actor unafraid of being so.
I have a dream.
All the hard noses also have that dream, Andy.
And the only thing the dick has is his dirty keyboard to cry on.
I have a dreamsicle.
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!
Woo Hoo!
And glad of the win for The Reader!
great awards!
