Odds on DDL not winning for Lincoln ? :unsure:

Extremely low, I guess. I've seen him with a 95% chance of getting it.
Habsy ain't dead, just tired of you mongers.
He's already got 2 statues so might lose on account of that.
Languish favors Lincoln and Django Unchained. OMG, ACW Hijack!

Horseshit Argo or SLPB. Lincoln and Django Unchained are cliche.

Nonsense. There's your

QuoteChristopher Plummer, announces the best supporting actress - and it goes to Anne Hathaway for Les Miserables. "It came true," she weeps. She thanks the team behind the film and Hugh Jackman - "you're the best".

0354: Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss tweets: "I always dreamed that the score of one of my films would be used to play people off at the Oscars. We did it, Steven!"
Apparently a good year to be on Hollywood's A List, as you had ~0% chance of dying.
:XD:
QuoteLater in the show, MacFarlane complimented Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in "Lincoln," and said that "the actor who really got inside Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth." The reference to Lincoln's assassin didn't go over well, leaving MacFarlane to crack, "Really? 150 years and it's still too soon?"
:lol:
I sort of assumed that they were going for the reaction they got.
Argo :lol:
And here Affleck didn't even get a best director nod. I was surprised that Spielberg's obvious award bait didn't get him a picture or director. Then again, I guess he already went to the award bait well with Schindler's List.
I was hoping Beasts of the Southern Wild would have gotten something. Oh well.
Once again Oscars remind me why i don't watch them in about 20 years.
Yeah it was pretty dull.

Well, he was buried in TV productions for a lot of his career. Actually, he said he's been quoted in an interview that even the nominations gave him a lot of satisfaction, because a producer once said about him he's at best useful as quirky character for made for TV movies.
As if I hadn't seen enough of Michelle Obama lately :rolleyes:
Oh wait, I didn't watch the Oscars :showoff:
It's funny how the local media is making such a huge deal about Jennifer Lawrence. Like she gives a shit about Louisville any more now that she's made it big in Hollywood. :rolleyes: My understanding is that they did the same thing with Tom Cruise, so you'd think they would have learned their lesson already.

West Virginians got themselves all worked up when Jennifer Garner had her breakthrough. I don't get it, either.
I didn't even know she was from West Virginia. :blush:

She was born in Texas but grew up in WV. Now she does return to WV occasionally and her parents may still live there, but I still don't get why people are so amazed. Law of averages says that occasionally even a West Virginian is going to gain notoriety for something.

Yeah, it's funny like that; Linda Hamilton went to my junior high and high schools, and I was going there when
Terminator first came out; newspapers and the schools had signage all over the place, and you know damned well that woman forgot about that place the moment she got the fuck out of town and never looked back. :lol:

The first role I recall seeing him in was a TV movie (based on a true story):
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111349/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl
QuoteThis movie depicts the story of Erwin Makolajczyk, a psychopath who killed 9 people in a courtroom on the 9th of March 1994. All of his life Erwin was a loner with a special liking for weapons. Finally he meets the older Lena to live with - but when she finds his weapons by chance one day, he beats her up. For this he's sentenced to pay her smart money - and Erwin cracks up...
The real guy shot a few people in the court room and then blew himself up with a bomb. Waltz brings an eerie banality to this rather pathetic person moving between pitiful ineptness and cold psycho.

My point was that a hometown feeling excited about having had a star live there is pretty independent of whether or not the star gives a crap. You were the one's getting huffy that the local media was excited.

Some women wear weight better than others. And some are just plain ugly regardless of weight.
Just watched her Oscar performance, she's definitely not ugly. Boring song, though.
Also, Scarlett Johansson is a much better singer than she is an actress.
Not a super-flattering picture though. Was she crazy-pale last night, or were those just the flashbulbs whiting her out?

Maybe she's not feeling well. Or it could be too much makeup.
