Oscars

[NFLDERS]

Anyone in?

I'm watching, and hoping Jimmy Kimmle aces hosting it! Hoping Lion wins Best Motion Picture.

Albeit, I've a head cold, sinuses infected, sleep deprived, and testy at best, So... I'm hoping the speeches are not too political or long...

Edited to add: I'll be wearing flannel, and eating chicken soup! Yea" Testy I'am.

Enjoy and feel better! We don't bother with awards shows - couldn't care less who wins (or what they have to say ) and this year I don't think we've seen even one single movie that's been nominated for best picture.

Yes I'll be watching, and I'm going to indulge in a big bucket of movie popcorn with extra cholesterol (butter).
I'm thinking LA LA Land will do well, and Emma Stone may get best actress, but who knows, Hollywood is full of surprises. I don't care for all the political talk either. I just tune in to be entertained, and to enjoy the fashions.
Hope that chicken soup clears your sinuses, just got through with my annual winter sinus infection; not fun.

Haven't watched any awards shows in years. It's rare that I see any movie before it comes to cable or netflix, lol.
Suffering the sinus/allergy infections as we speak....

 

[lynxstch]

Will be watching..and I am waiting for Imzadi's thread for the Oscar Party on here!

 

[low-key]

Nahh, I dont care about entertainers political views anymore then I care about my Dentist view on the problems of the Browns QB

 

[WithAMouse]

I agree 100%! I'm excited to see the show but they will be losing one viewer the second it gets political. I just really don't appreciate famous people trying to force their political opinions on us.

 

[Disneylover99]

I don't mind the politics. But I don't care for Jimmy Kimmel. I'll still tune in though.

Me too! Maybe, Imzadi's under the weather, as the amazing thread hasn't appeared yet.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

We'll be watching via DVR on a BIG delay so we can FF through all the blowhards.

I don't mind the political stands as long as they are not too long.

 

[WithAMouse]

I guess I'm too critical.

I couldn't agree more. I don't watch TV in order to get a lecture from some loud-mouth ego maniac

It's coming. I was just checking the Australian & Canada TV listings for the right channels. Canada was taking a long time to show up on my computer. It was probably trying to locate me and got confused as I'm in the U.S. But I finally found E! on Shaw Direct for the Red Carpet.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I didn't realize it was tomorrow night. (Just asked DH.) There was a time we used to watch every movie that was up for awards, but we haven't been able to keep up with that. I really loved Lion this year, though. I will probably tune in, but agree with pp's if it starts getting political, I'd rather stick knitting needles in my eyes than continue to watch it. Not a fan of Kimmel, either.

Me too. I was a bit annoyed at the Golden Globes as some of the winners & stars handing out awards had to get their opinions in.

 

[Mizzoufan]

I hate when it's gets political. So I will probably just watch the red carpet. MY fingers are crossed for Dezel to win!!

 

[RedAngie]

I'll likely have it on, but will be multi-tasking at other things at the same time. I'm not familiar with ANY of the films nominated.

 

[tvguy]

I haven't watched the Oscars in years, probably 1984, which was the last year Johnny Carson hosted.
Just a big commercial.
I suspect with the current trend towards making political statements, it will be pretty unwatchable. As a friend said decades ago about actors and their political opinions.."these are people who who need a Director to tell them what to do".
