Just watched the Oscar show from last weekend (recorded it to skip the commercials. Suddenly the show was only 2 hrs long.) What the fuck was up with the Best Actor/Actress category? I’m not talking about the nominees, but about dragging it out to each 10 minutes, just by letting for every nominee someone tell a long, uninterestining story about him or her!
This been said: I was surprised when Fisher Stevens suddenly got an Oscarr for Best Documentary Feature. Didn’t know he had anything to do with The Cove.

Wow LA Times reported that Bigelow turned down the new SPIDER-MAN reboot. Good for her.

1. Lady Gaga performs theme song for next James Bond film.
2. Lady Gaga wins Oscar for said song.
3. We can refer to Lady Gaga as “Oscar Winner Lady Gaga”.
4. Her acceptance dance ends war, hunger, and poverty.

Hey Vern, I was wondering if you had a problem with the film “Up In The Air” or Jason Reitman, or you would just be pissed because obviously superior films lost if it won?
I don’t know anything about it, but I just read today about how apparently Jason has been acting like a bit of a douchebag at the Golden Globes or something, and was wondering if that had anything to do with it.
I liked “Up In The Air”, but definitely thought “The Hurt Locker” was the superior film, and that Kathryn deserved the win.
Gwai-L0-Let me add my thanks, just had a quick look, but it looks like a site I’ll return to often.

Anyone seen BROOKLYN’S FINEST yet? pretty legit! And a big plus if Vern graces us with his review: it’s such a clear example of THE WIRE’s already formidable influence on film that the talkback will inevitably be the tipping point and Vern will be forced to watch the THE WIRE.

SLYB,

I agree ! I know Vern is very busy these days but if he ever had the chance to do the 2010 Awards I would love it…

Andy C. – Yeah I noticed that too. Plus she won an Oscar for that part.

James Caan got shit (again) for getting fucked over. First THE GODFATHER, then MISERY, then ELF, then…

I groaned at first when the first clip was Jaws and I thought they would just show mainstream movies that have had their day in the sun. I thought it was okay though in the end. Nothing heart-stopping but you know baby-steps. Something of note though, I think, was the hammer scene in Misery used to always cut away on impact in the broadcast version. Last night it was there in all its glory. Still a pretty intense scene I think.

Andy C. – but where was HENRY in that clip show? :(

Also SILENCE OF THE LAMBS won the Oscar. Yes only horror movie so far to pull that off, but Sci-Fi is fucking jealous.
