My prediction. I won't watch it nor care very much who wins what. Little more than a Liberal self-congratulatory gabfest

"Time" magazine, in an unusual moment of lucidity, once called the Oscars "Hollywood's annual revenge on TV".

Yeppers.

Haven't see many movies this past year...except Silver Linings Playbook.

Even though Bradley Cooper filled the screen...when you're going up against Daniel Day-Lewis....well, ya better bring a Snickers, cause you're going to be awhile!  LOL!

Here I am making predictions and I haven't seen anything but trailers.   LOL!

Ann Hathaway for Les Miserables.  She emaciated herself for that role.  Similar to DeNiro gaining 40 lbs for Raging Bull.

But like Cincy says....who the hell cares?     :laugh:

I have to go somewhere tonight, but I will tape and watch without commercials.  I grew up on movies and I enjoy movies..  I try and put their political leanings to the side for most (I do have some I will not spend a red cent to see like Glover) and just enjoy the two hours. 

Best Picture: Argo

Best Actor in a Leading Role: Daniel Day-Lewis

Best Actress in a Leading Role: Jennifer Lawrence

Best Director: Either Silver Linings Playbook 

My choices:

Best Picture:  Silver Linings Playbook

Best Actor in a Leading Role: Daniel Day-Lewis

Best Actress in a Leading Role:  Jennifer Lawrence

Best Director:  David O. Russell

I think Lincoln was good, but they lied about some important historical facts - like how Connecticut REALLY voted... I don't think purposely changing history deserves reward.  That said Danie Day-Lewis WAS Lincoln...   Silver Linings Playbook was outstanding and shone a deserved light on Bi-polar disorders.

Jennifer Aniston in Valentino

I love her dress, but seeing Aniston standing next to a big Oscar statue makes me laugh.  As if.

 I think she's got as much acting chops as the next actress, but she is completely incapable of picking a decent script.  (OK, Horrible Bosses was cute, but hardly Oscar material).

Kate Capshaw looks like she's channeling Angelina Jolie's last year's dress with that slit.  Looking like the big thing this year is dresses with trains.  Jennifer Lawrence's dress looks like a wedding dress if you ask me.

She does the "critiques" on "E" with Juliana Ranszik and a few others... I think it is funny them critiquing if you switch to E you'll see what I mean.. Kelly with purple hair and all her tats.. and some blond in a hideous dress of black and white checks........

Call me old fashioned, but to me, you should earn a spot on the Red Carpet by producing art.  I don't think the above qualifies.

By The Associated Press
Joaquin Phoenix didn't waste any time getting into the Dolby Theatre, and the Oscar-nominated actor's dash across the red carpet didn't go unnoticed.

Red carpet host Chris Connelly heckled Phoenix, who has criticized the awards show, as he rushed by, sayings he was "setting him new speed records."

He then added, "You should be at the (NFL) combine," a reference to the athletic tests NFL recruits go through.

(AP) 'Argo' takes best picture at the Oscars
LOS ANGELES
If Ben Affleck was snubbed by the Oscars, everyone should be so lucky. His Iran rescue thriller "Argo" has won best picture from the Academy Awards.

It's the first best picture winner not to be nominated for best director since 1989's "Driving Miss Daisy." But despite the omission of Affleck _ or perhaps buoyed by it _ "Argo" emerged as the Oscar favorite, winning top honors from the directors, producers, screen actors and writers guilds.

Affleck and fellow producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov accepted the award Sunday night.

Among the other eight nominees, Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" was perceived as the biggest competition to "Argo." The other nominees were "Life of Pi," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Les Miserables," "Amour," "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Django Unchained."

I am asking because I truly have no idea what that movie is even about. So what do you find wrong with it?

I see "Argo" won Best Pic which upsets me because it is Liberal bovine excrement masquerading as being based on fact.

I can't really explain Life of Pi, it is one of those movies that you just go "duh" after seeing.

Without posting spoilers, the movie is really nothing more than a somewhat decent but confusing plot with a lot of nice CGI.  That to me is not enough to win Best Picture.

Ok, AC, ty. I don't go to first run movies anymore so doubt I will be seeing this, or any of these pictures soon, and I understand your objection to "Life of Pi" as best pic.

One year, many moons ago, I went to all 5 pictures with nomination for best actor. Why I chose best actor instead of best pic I will never know (made sense at the time, I guess), but that was 1968 and the nominees included Cliff Robertson, "Charly" (winner), Peter O'Toole, "The Lion in Winter", Ron Moody, "Oliver!", Alan Bates, "The Fixer", and my personal favorite, Alan Arkin, "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter".

I thought Arkin did a masterful job as the deaf mute John Singer even compared to Robertson as the mentally retarded Charly (1968 apparently being the year of the handicapped). Alas, the academy did not agree with me and so Arkin did not win.

I just threw that story in here for the hell of it.

Argo go best pic.. Ang Lee got director... This reminds me of the days when Spielberg was robbed of nominations for director because he had not paid his dues... That is ehat they did to Afflec
 this year.  remember in the nominating process the nominate by directors for other directors.. Etc.. Then the academy votes for every category.. Could be this eas the academy rewardin Lee for his body of work or an in your face for passing ovr Affleck

Renee Zellweger and Kristen Stewart might have stolen the show last night at the Oscars, but not necessarily in a good way.

Their odd behavior as presenters at the 85th Annual Academy Awards caused viewers to tweet up a storm, with many suggesting that the usually composed starlets were inebriated during the broadcast.

Zellwegger and her “Chicago” cast mates presented the gold statues for Best Song and Best Original Score. For both awards, the “Jerry Maguire” star appeared glazed over and unbalanced as she and her co-presenters read off the nominations onstage.

Comedian Michael Ian Black tweeted about a squinty Zellwegger, “Do you guys remember when Renee Zellweger had eyes?”

"Renee Zellweger is acting like I do when I drink a lil' too much in front of my mum, but I try to hold it together," tweeted another viewer.

Stewart, meanwhile, caused Twitter to buzz as the "Twilight" actress hobbled out on stage to present the Production Design award with Daniel Radcliffe. (Stewart was on crutches because she stepped on glass, AP reports).

"Kristen Stewart are you ok? And by that I mean where were the hash brownies before u got hit" actor David Spade tweeted.

Many viewers even tweeted comments on both of the actresses appearing slightly off at the ceremony.

@kylemartino: And the nominees for Most Vacant Body at the Oscars are: Kristen Stewart, Renee Zellweger, and Joaquin Phoenix. #Oscars

‏@NicoleTubiola: Whatever pre-party Renee Zellweger & Kristen Stewart went to must have been a good one... #Oscars

‏@emilily88: I'm sorry but these Renee Zellweger and Kristen Stewart tweets are the most entertaining part of the #oscars.

@SandiMcKenna: LOL! RT @rickgriffin: RT @SandiMcKenna Is it just me or does Renee Zellweger look a bit off #Oscars <<Been partying with Kristen Stewart.

You make a valid point, LoaH, but I am capable of reading the assessments of others who do know.

???  What???   How so?  Strong statement for someone who admits hasn't even seen any of this stuff.

In fact, accepting the views of others who are informed is what we all do on a variety of subjects, not just films. And, btw, I am dubious about the "facts" presented in any film out of Hollywood, especially those dealing with history or politics, until I know better.

LoaH, consider the source.

You mean YOUR source?  Since this conversation is about the movie Argo (and why I didn't consider it to be liberal bovine excrement-based on the views of others who are informed is what we all do on a variety of subjects, not just films), I'll cite MY source-going and seeing the movie for myself.

I'll applaud any film that - in this day and age of tense Iranian relations and Hollywood anti Americanism- proceeds to unabashedly depict the Iranian muslims for the hate-filled animals they were and still are.  I'll also cheer a film that depicts and appreciates the US government's efforts, the CIA and America's intelligence community in general for their sheer guts and imagination in getting this coup pulled off successfully.   :beer:

At one point when the four members from Chicago were presenting and Richard Gere handed the envelope to Zellweiger she was so unbalanced and unable to comment that Zeta-Jones stepped in quickly and read it herself.. .after that they all spoke around her and she never said another word, but she was wobbling back and forth, it was very obvious something was not right... and, yes, I had the same impression with Stewart who also looked glassy-eyed and disheveled.

That moment and Barbra Streisand's performance were the only few minutes we saw of the telecast, and I wondered what was going on when Gere gave the card to Zellweger and she didn't say anything.

Renee is a pretty good actress. I judge her by that.

If she later turns out to have a substance problem, it won't be the first or last.
