This is the best Oscar show in years. There, is that better?

Much!

No, Bruce, it's not. The show is what it is. But for some folks -- and it doesn't make those folks STUPID -- those settings are a nice change of pace from the same-old same-old.

It's not your cup of tea. Understood.

Well, I liked the "Badger" Mastercard commercial.

Me TOO!

This is the dress I was talking about.

And who told her to wear such a dress?

I think she had it on backwards. And/or inside-out.

Ben Stiller was utterly inane in the Cinematography segment, though. Totally disrespectful of the award itself. And the viewers' intelligence in general.

Ron, I only speak for myself - if others like the setting GREAT! And no, it doesn't make them stupid, and I don't think I said that.

Matt H. · « **Reply #941 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:46:14 PM »

I understand Downey, Jr. is amazing in THE SOLOIST.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #942 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:46:32 PM »

I want to see THE SOLOIST

bk · « **Reply #943 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:46:32 PM »

Yes, Ben Stiller was awful and unfunny.

The narrative. First the script is written, then the set created and make up applied, then the cinematography....

I guess that would put the composers last.

bk · « **Reply #945 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:47:14 PM »

We're in the top ten.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #946 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:47:36 PM »

More commercials.

The presenters are not landing many of their scripted "jokes" so far. But they don't have much to work with.

And that's been the trouble with many of these shows down the years. The jokes land badly...either because they weren't good jokes to begin with or they didn't have the right joke for the right person.

I think the Coca-Cola commercial was great!

I'm just hoping that Jamie Foxx doesn't ruin it.

I really appreciated that guy from "The Duchess" mentioning Rachel Portman and her score. Many of these movies are MADE by the scores, IMO.

td · « **Reply #951 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:49:30 PM »

I'm actually finding the show more INTERESTING than it has been in recent years.

td · « **Reply #952 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:50:10 PM »

. . .but why were they playing "I Have Dreamed" when THE DUCHESS won?

Good evening. We tuned into the Oscars in time to see Jessica Biel's god-awful dress.

Matt H. · « **Reply #954 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:50:43 PM »

That was funny. Franco and ROgan were very ausing.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #955 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:50:56 PM »

OK, James Franco---that made me laugh.

DAW · « **Reply #956 on:** February 22, 2009, 06:50:57 PM »

Now THAT'S comedy.

LOL....that made me laugh.

Oh here comes SETH SETH SETH again!
