All of these time wasting segments had some kind of hero theme.....barely....would hardly call it a point.

And lots of big sweetened applause to cap it.

We are closing in on the two and a half hour mark.

sorry I forgot Gastby's costumes

Which means we're probably going to three hours, which is exactly what they planned to do - I don't know why I thought they'd like to come in early - they can't - they have to get all the adverts in.

That was a cute Pepsi commercial.

vixmom · « **Reply #996 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:50:46 PM »

so we have 40 more minutes to go?

bk · « **Reply #997 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:50:49 PM »

We have entered the top ten!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #998 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:51:04 PM »

Yeah it's scheduled to go another 40 minutes

bk · « **Reply #999 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:51:12 PM »

Forty minutes to go - or more. Just can't be less. Don't know why that fact has eluded me.

I think I fell asleep an hour ago and I'm in a dream where I'm watching a horrible Oscar telecast... and posting about it.

Gratuitous Post #1001!!

TCB are you close to your millstone?

Edisaurus · « **Reply #1003 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:51:59 PM »

This year's show is really lame.

It's better than the 4 and 1/2 hour show one year. That was painful.

There's a local ad saying "Try not to laugh too much during Ellen's jokes". No problem there. Haven't found any despite what the sweetened audience tells me.

vixmom · « **Reply #1006 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:53:15 PM »

so just in case anyone is interested -- dinner ended up being roast chicken sandwiches, on toasted multigrain bread, with some gravy as a dressing , sliced breast meat, stuffing and cranberry sauce

Forgot to say that I loved Jennifer Garner's dress.

Finally, a smart move. Full screen presentation of memorial segment, without the stupid moving camera.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #1011 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:55:53 PM »

Thank goodness they're doing the "In Memoriam" right this year, where you can actually read their names.

George · « **Reply #1012 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:56:25 PM »

And no applause for just the "popular" ones.

George · « **Reply #1013 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:57:59 PM »

Bette!

vixmom · « **Reply #1014 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:58:11 PM »

I am sorry Edi, they ignored Sarah

Edisaurus · « **Reply #1015 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:59:31 PM »

I didn't expect to see Sarah's name in memoriam, but was just hoping. I didn't know Juanita Moore had passed away. :-(

Dan M · « **Reply #1016 on:** March 02, 2014, 07:59:37 PM »

I guess this will be the obituary song now, move over "Candle in the Wind".

vixmom · « **Reply #1017 on:** March 02, 2014, 08:00:37 PM »

sung beautifully and simply - no yodeling and no huge earplugs and wires running down her back

Dan M · « **Reply #1018 on:** March 02, 2014, 08:00:49 PM »

Didn't Bette sing this for Johnny Carson just before he exiled himself?

Edisaurus · « **Reply #1019 on:** March 02, 2014, 08:00:50 PM »

George, I think they cut the audience mics, so it wouldn't seem like a popularity contest.
