The Oscars 2013

[Still-One]

+1 Howie
I thought Macfarlane was a real Dud.

There were tough choices in all of the categories. I liked all of the performances.
Lewis was the right choice for Best Actor.

[-E-]

Seth did a great job. And he kept himself... contained.

I wasn't shocked that Tommy Lee Jones lost, but I would have liked him to win. His character in Lincoln was what made the movie.

---- I'm with ya Casey.

---- Big time agree with ya!

---- ...Among them, Charlize Theron, and Naomi Watts. ... Nicole Kidman?

I'm sure the song about the b**b's was one of them. Pretty lame to point
the finger to whom has exposed her upper self in front of the camera.
It's not funny for men, and even less for women. So my to that.

When jokes involve religion and sex, things go south quickly.


That aside, Jennifer Hudson hit some notes that sounded glorious in my
system; she's not my cup of tea, but man, can she sing? If anyone recorded
it, this probably was the highlight of the night for me. For some reason
Adele's Skyfall didn't sound too good - at times the orchestra sounded a lot
more than her.

Just couldn't watch. Way too busy telling old jokes, mostly potty humor, and punching people as they walked past me. It they didn't laugh at my jokes they got punched twice. OK not really, I was watching a benefit concert: Love for Levon. Seems there's more than just senseless violence on if you care to look.

---- You are 100% right. ...This is not even for children, less growing/mature adults.

---- It was awful! ...The sound.

-- Quentin Tarantino; for Best Original Screenplay of 'Django Unchained'? ...Really?
