Sandra must win if they're doing this to here.

WTF CTV- why'd you just cut to a commercial?

Probably went to commercial in the states to.

 

[wizword]

I liked blind side. It wasn't as good as remembering the titans but still a great feel good movie.

 

[Weapxn]

Utterly. That was some really well crafted words.

Its kinda bad that the Precious group are in a cramped space.

I don't think they were in a cramped space...

Spoiler

They're just some damn big people.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I still can't believe The Blind Side got nominated.

This John Lee Hancock guy got the break of his life.

The "break" you speak of came after the movie already made more than $200m at the box office, the nomination was just the icing on the cake.

 

[Tobor]

iPad commercial!!!!!

 

[Insane Metal]

Totally deserved! He destroyed in IB!

 

[WillyFive]

iPad commercial!

Not as good as the iPhone commercial from Oscars 2006.

 

[Shard]

DOn't forget that JUlia ROberts won an Oscar for Erin Brocovitch, so yea.

 

[Archaix]

"It's based on a true story"

Fixed

Inspired by is more accurate. Blind Side: The Sandra Bullock Story of White People are Great

 

[Zeliard]

It'd be nice to see Tarantino walk away with something before the night is over.

 

[Dead]

wow Blind Side looks awful

conserva-christian movie total :lol

 

[Ripclawe]

OMG! THE iPAD!

F YOU JOBS,

Team Android

 

[D23]

?

i can tell you right now that gaf will hate the opening, the middle, the ending, the voting, the lighting, the camera work, the band, and the presenters.

no matter what wins best picture, the initial posts of praise will be overrun by paragraph long rants that demand that people see the movie for the garbage trite that it really is.

you will never see more cynicism than in an OT awards show thread.

couldnt agree more.. :lol
oh iPAD commercial

 

[NetMapel]

What I was wondering... WTF!

Streaming from Sky TV and they cut to commercial too. What the heck ?

 

[Shard]

iPad, meh.

 

[BertramCooper]

I don't think they were in a cramped space...

Spoiler

They're just some damn big people.

:lol I was thinking the same thing. And then I felt bad for thinking it.

 

[Gary Whitta]

wow Blind Side looks awful

conserva-christian movie total :lol

It's a movie with a positive message about doing charitable things for people less fortunate than yourself, sorry if that's not edgy or cool enough for you.

 

[harSon]

Still can't believe Sandra Bullock was nominated for best actress, she wasn't terrible but they had no business nominating her for it. Goes to show how weak a year it was at a single performance level, at least in comparison to past years.

 

[Big Baybee]

Inspired by is more accurate. Blind Side: The Sandra Bullock Story of White People are Great

I know, right

 

[DMczaf]

So who are the 5 people who didn't get Supporting Actor right in the pool? :lol

 

[Calcaneus]

Yes! Waltz totally deserved that.

I don't think I'll ever see The Blind Side.

 

[Killa Sasa]

...Did anyone grab a screen of (who I think was) David Linden's face during Christoph Waltz's speech? What the hell was that :lol?



(I take back the lol face if it's a medical condition or something like that.)

 

[demosthenes]

OMG KIMMEL AND AFFLECK AND GARNER

hahahahahaha

 

[Lion Heart]

How come Vito Mortenson wasn't nominated for The Road?

 

[RustyNails]

Miley Cyrus coming up? Time for me to bail out and go back to killing Theseus in GoW 2.

 

[Chichikov]

Inspired by is more accurate. Blind Side: The Sandra Bullock Story of White People are Great

The book is pretty great.

Better luck next time then Bridges. Sandra has it sewn up.

 

[rollingstart]

These awards are really bad this year

 

[pringles]

Wow, separate intros for all 10 best pictures is going to really drag this thing out. Either they've made some major economies elsewhere or this is going to run way over...

Who cares. It's 3 AM here and I wouldn't mind it if the show was 5 hours long.

 

[Kinitari]

Any live streams? :3

 

[D23]

cam.diaz. hot

 

[WillyFive]

ANIMATED FILM HERE WE GO

 

[UpperCaseN]

Gary, was Book of Eli released in time for this year's Oscars or will it be eligible for next years?

 

[Archaix]

I know, right

Well, to be fair, I probably should have posted "The Sandra Bullock Story of Gee Golly, Sandra Bullock Sure is Great" because the husband was white too, and could have been replaced by a purse in this movie.



edit:

The book is pretty great.

That it was.

 

[Spire]

If The Blind Side wins anything I am done with the Oscars forever.

















FOREVER.

 

[BertramCooper]

God, I despise Cameron Diaz. How can one body hold so much stupid?

 

[Gary Whitta]

These awards are really bad this year

Amazing how you're able to deduce this after just one award has been presented!

 

[shuri]

The Blind side movie looks so manufactured..

 

[Takao]

Diaz looks old. And these jokes are flatlining.

 

[demosthenes]

LAWL

 

[Blablurn]

come on up

 

[noisome07]

oh shit this is awesome!

 

[Weapxn]

Was that Jude thing legit?

 

[Brinbe]

Nice, this is pretty good. :lol

 

[The Elite]

Cameron Diaz sold that well. She should have hosted tonight.

 

[soundscream]

How come Vito Mortenson wasn't nominated for The Road?

Performance was so good they thought it was a documentary?

Seriously my favorite movie last year.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Coraline FTW.

Up's going to win, though.

 

[D23]

this is nice thing for animation

 

[mYm|17|]

this is pretty cool

 

[Gary Whitta]

Gary, was Book of Eli released in time for this year's Oscars or will it be eligible for next years?

It came out this year so it's eligible for next year. I would like to see it nominated for best soundtrack, Atticus really deserves it for the work he did.
