I'm just kidding, guys :) Cameron is a visionary director and deserves a lot of thanks they get.

One of these days an Oscar producer is going to tell the audience to hold their applause for the end, I hate the way the death montage is like a referendum on who was good/popular based on the applause volume for each.

They tried by including the movies they worked on at the bottom, but it's too fast to catch.

Yeah it's always awkward how some people get decent applause and others crickets. How about just observe a moment of silence for everyone.

That was pretty terrible. Camera focused on the set for the beginning of the montage, making it impossible to read the names, the slides went by way too fast, and then they cut to Taylor before the montage was over.

Michael Bay is a talentless hack. His films should not be rewarded in any way.


Two science fiction movies were nominated for best picture.


Transformers is a horrible, horrible movie. Obnoxiously loud shouldn't automatically win the sound categories.

Good thing I didn't say Bay for best director then, huh? :D

Say what you will about the content of the movies, but their technical aspects are insane. Anyone who can mix Bay's crazy action, with Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, an orchestral score, and voice actors deserve some recognition.

And until Avatar came out, I'd say the same about the special effects team. But even then, I don't believe ROTF even got nominated.

I'm still not sure what Sprint 4G has to do with Nintendo DS local wireless network play.
Click to expand...

It's the pocket Wi-Fi thing that connects to the 4G.

So basically:

1. Device connects to 4G.
2. Device sends out WiFi signal.
3. Nintendo DS connects to WiFi signal.
4. ???
5. Profit.

Cindy Crawford will always be gorgeous.

This Chase commercial is giving me big brother vibes.

You've still got the problem of people who have recently passed being applauded solely on how well known they were, or if they worked on well-known films. I agree with Gary. Sit on your hands until the end.
