Oscars
 
Or AKA the Lady Gaga show, as I think she stole the show, which wasn't too bad.

Didn't see all of it, highlights today. Spike was a bit off his rocker IMO.

Lots of buffoonery from everyone else. Porter had a nice Tux, if you haven't seen it check it out.

Spike Lee. What a wanker....

legion 02-25-2019 09:31 AM

The last time I watched the Oscars was 1997 or so, and I only did it because a girl I liked was into them.

If I wanted to see overpaid celebrities berate me for my views and lifestyle, I can flip on CNN at any time.

I refuse to watch incredibly over paid people with no real value creation pat themselves on the back.

I heard the gift bag was worth like $150K.

So it was on already, can't say I missed seeing it.

nvr2mny 02-25-2019 09:52 AM

Spent EXACTLY ZERO time watching these hyper-hypocrites. I did see where they put up a 'wall' (fence) to keep the undesirables out. Seems to work for them....

My wife taped it and after she watches it, she'll tell me all about it.

And like always, I'll nod my head and pretend like I'm listening because I'm such a caring, giving, sensitive human being.

And after a few minutes she'll realize the futility of it for the go-zillionth time 'cause I ain't no actor, and she'll go about her biddness. And we'll both be happy :)

Veal & Filet?

sc_rufctr 02-25-2019 11:22 AM

I didn't watch it. I haven't for more than 20 years but...
Does anybody know what the badge or button means?

Is that an anti Klan thing?

I'd say the glasses and the outfit are clues.

sc_rufctr 02-25-2019 11:38 AM

Is he gay? I had no idea...

speeder 02-25-2019 11:38 AM

Spike Lee is a pretty awful person. I like some of his films a lot but he is just a prick. I have a little bit of a personal reason to resent him because my good friend produced Green Book, (which is getting savaged all around for being a bad pick for best picture).

I did not watch the show because I haven’t seen any of the films except for GB and I knew that the telecast would suck. I was out to dinner when the notification popped up on my screen that GB won. I could not believe it. I don’t think that anyone saw that one coming, including the people that made the film.

I think I started a thread here when I screened it a couple months before it came out. Good flick but not really best picture material. Spike Lee is such a sore loser and victim/crybaby though. His film was never going to win anyway.

I watched it - but just for the opening by Queen/Adam Lambert.

I’ve never heard that. He’s just a sissy, not gay.

I truly can't care less about the oscars. I did not watch.

He’s not gay, he’s black. It’s ok for him to wear purple.

:)

sc_rufctr 02-25-2019 12:09 PM

I liked Jungle fever... The forever sexy Annabella Sciorra was a real stand out. :D

Here she is as "Gloria Trillo" from The Sopranos. (One of Tony's Goomahs)

oh. Musta been the guy behind him then. :rolleyes:

No interest is Oscars - I watched BBT reruns and later read a book.

yellowperil 02-25-2019 12:45 PM

Tux/Dress
 
The afore mentioned Tux/Dress, worn by Billy Porter, whoever he is.

Now I say with certainty, if you wanted to get noticed, up here in the Maritimes,
this Tux/Dress would get that done.

For all you guys who didn't watch, look what you're missin'

I think Spike's purple outfit was a tribute to Prince. He also was wearing a Prince logo necklace - not fully visible in the above picture.

Also, Lady Gaga singing 'Shallow' made it worth watching. She can really sing.

Yes she can - I'm a big fan.

IMHO though, the Las Vegas version of "Shallow" was heaps better than last night's version.

I posted the embed over in the Movie Thread, for those interested.

stealthn 02-25-2019 04:19 PM

Watched it with the wife, I liked it better with no host, but if they are always strapped for time, why do the shorts stuff?

I didn’t know Roma was on Netflix, man NF is killing it.

A930Rocket 02-25-2019 05:58 PM

I’ve never watched it and don’t plan on it anytime soon. I couldn’t give a **** about those narcissistic *******s.

From the pictures, he looks like a bus driver on the "Purple Line".

I thought he was Barney's limo driver.

Hollywood elites celebrating giving themselves awards and lecturing people about the cause du jour? Sounds delightful.

They put up a fence. Fences don't work. Just sayin......

Tobra 02-26-2019 08:48 AM

Nobody was trying to break into that place for a job, free healthcare, food and education, in which case, fences are fine.

Baz 02-28-2019 04:02 PM

Lady Gaga is pretty hawt!
