I don't really know. I'm just guessing.

 

[pigletgirl]

Yep, I'm watching!

 

[Pirate Me]

Ratatouille gets Animated Feature award.
I didn't find a contest in that one...never heard of Persepolis but it looked a bit odd to me...

 

[pigletgirl]

YAY! Ratatouille!!!

?, my roomate wants to know...is Julia Roberts going to be there?

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

So uhm...i hate the host.
Hes rude and annoying.


I want Ellen BACK.

 

[Pirate Me]

Ellen was a great host last year.

 

[Pirate Me]

Sweeney Todd better win soemthing.

Sweeney Todd won best art direction.

 

[unknownname]

I hate the boring parts. :[ But im watching it now.

 

[Pirate Me]

My favorite parts are the flashbacks at previous Academy Awards shows.

 

[joepic]

Hey great thread. Thanks!

I'm watching now... i've been looking forward to this all month!

 

[Pirate Me]

I love the Academy Awards. It's a little holiday to me. xD
I'm trying to update this with every nomination but DIS just went really slow for me.

 

[Axel]

I've got the last part on tape and haven't watched yet because it was past the time I should have been asleep.

But just from the first half:

JON STEWART SAVES MY LIFE. I loves him.

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

The flashback of Audrey Hepburn
was SAD...

D:

 

[DramaQueen]

i'd say i did pretty well with my picks.

HUGE surprises for best supporting actress & best actress!!!
good for them though!! too bad ellen page didn't win (gotta support the canadians!!!)

I liked the show...but it was strange to see ALOT of people there;
Miley Cyrus (WTH WAS SHE DOING THERE???) Jessica ALba?? Cameron Diaz! P DIddy & Gary Busey???? whaaat on EARTH were they doing at THE OSCARS??? lol

my boyfriend & girlfriend leo dicaprio & kate winslet were not in attendance which makes me sad.

And I gotta say...how cool is jack nicholson!!!! love him!

And it makes me LOL that norbit was nominated for an oscar!! hehehe


I LOOOOVE the oscars, and the whole awards season in general (which was kind of a bummer this year without the golden globes)

And I think the most beautiful woman there last night was for SURE Jennifer Garner, her makeup looked amazing and I personally liked her (kinda messy) hair!
