  1. No Country? Fuck! Motherfucking piece of shit bastard of fucking cocksucking bitch hoes, why?????!!!! Fuck No Country, Juno needed to win, those sons of bitches at the oscars. Fucking asswholes?

    [Pants]

    Now, have a nice day

  2. Well i decided to give the show a miss this year. The time difference means i would get two hourse of sleep before having to go to work and thanks to i really had no urge to watch it live this year. I don’t regret it in retrospect. At this point, i’d just be repeating everyone else has said. It just really digs in my crotch that New Line can put ‘academy award winner’ on their Golden Compass DVD’s.

    Your coverage was absolutely infectious and hilarious this year guys. I hope you can get Kris and Robert on the live show sometime cause they were great.

    And did I hear SoulVideo say hi to me in the background of podcast 6? That’s so nice.

  3. Good show all around. The Golden Compass winning over Transformers was complete BS and really the only pick I was seriously annoyed.

    Leaving Brad Renfro off the montage was in bad form and the statement they gave is unbelievably tacky.

  4. Marketa Irglova is Czech as a side note and not Irish….but Glen Hansard is Irish. She’s a ‘hot Czech’ musician…:)
    Golden Compass was not deserving of the award at all….but hey, it’s done.
    I thought Transformers would at least get best sound editing…unless the fact that it’s ‘reproduced’ makes any difference.
    Otherwise…great podcasts! Keep it up in Cali! Hope you’re liking the warmth while we all suffer up north. :)

  5. As long as Atonement didnt win best pic, Im happy. I really dont see why that movie gets so much hype. Juno, There Will Be Blood and No Country were all vastly superior in my opinion. I havent seen Micheal Clayton yet though.

  6. oh and one last thing….the montage gags “periscopes and binoculars” and “bad dreams..an oscar salute” is now officially my favorite oscar joke ever.
    that was truly fucking funny….

    in fact stewart was fantastic…that won’t be the last time he hosts.

    and as for everyone who complains about the songs..while they generally bore me I don’t have this pathological hatred for them that some of you seem to have but why don;t they just do a one stop medley of all the songs in one sitting….a little bit from each song and thats that.I get the idea behind having each song played as it harkens back to good old fashioned variety type tv shows but if they must have musical numbers just bash them altogther in a 5-6 minute medley.

  8. transformers not winning for effects was mental.
    i could understand it not winning if the golden compass had great effects but they were average boredering on crap.
    i mean at the end of the day big metal robots is not as hard to do as organc creatures and thing like that but the effects in transformers were very very good and I am very surprised it didn’t win.

    everything else went pretty much as planned….it was all a bit anti climatic…
    I though page might have managed to snake it…she has become such a darling of hollywood that I thought she maight do it..but I am glad she didn’t ..la vie en rose is amazing and the woman in it is fucking great.

    told you cody was a lock for screenplay darren ;P

    i really wish there had been a real out of the blue upset like

    “and the winner of best picture is….michael clayton”….just something totally out of the blue would have been hilarious….

    but I am glad that no country (deservedly) took out the big ones.

    it deserves to have won over the films it was against.

    all in all it made all my belly aching about johns juno prediction all the more pointless because well…he was totally wrong ;p

    anyway….

    diablo cody is hot and i noticed edgar wright appeared to be her date…….

    oh and i am glad that bourne got some recognition….it was one of the best of the year

  9. From an audio standpoint, Bourne Ultimatum did not deserve to win SOUND MIXING and SOUND EDITING. I wanted Transformers or No Country to win SOUND EDITING but Transformers not winning for SOUND MIXING? NO FUCKING WAY! That’s the problem when there are 6,000 people voting for something they don’t understand….they vote for mediocre soundtracks like Bourne Ultimatum.

  10. so many comments…

    so you are suprised about the Transformers thing as is everyone else.

    you weren’t surprised that Cate Blanchett got completely screwed out of 2 oscars? I thought she had best supporting actress in the bag.

  11. Some of the sfx for golden compass were provided by weta but majority of it was done by rythm and hues who did aslan in Chronicles of narnia movie and are doing the upcoming hulk movie.

  12. Come to think of it transformers 2 has very less chance of winning the best visual effects award since that same year James Cameron’s AVATAR comes out and that movie is supposed to be groundbreaking and absolutely mindblowing. On top of that WETA is providing the visual effects of that movie and just like LOTR movies and KK, it will take the visual effects award.

  13. Ok i know why transformers didn’t win the award.

    It seems like the oscar visual effect jury expects the movie to have a character that is living breating and CGI or motion captured and has hair or fur on them aka an organic character that looks amazing.

    Transformers is just bunch of robots that are made of metal and from what i know it is very easy to make metal look absolutely photorealistic compared to organic characters like aslan, king kong and davy jones.

    This is like WOTW vs. King Kong. Wotw had bunch of tripods that looked photorealistic but were made of metal while king kong was an organic living and breathing character and the CGI was absolutely stunning for KK himself so it won the award for visual effects.

    Now i know that there are several moving parts of transformers when they transform but still they are made of fucking metal.

  14. I think now I’m going to do the following:

    1) Relisten to John’s rant on Transformers getting robbed. May he repeat it on Monday. May he repeat it on Now Live Wed. May he be an extra in Mongol , cause the man’s about to rip shit up with Geggis Khan

    2) I want to find Anne Hathaway and Tilda Swinton and ask them if they know Cher and Bjork

    3) I want to know why Helen Mirren looks hot for her (or any) age

    4) I want to know what I owe Kristina in losing the bet of the slip and fall, when will she collect, and may she be gentle

    5) I want to finish my Expresso

    not in that order
    night int’l friends

  15. I myself had thought that Heath would get his own segment in the Memorium, but a few breaks before the actual tribute, I realized that this wouldn’t be true.

    The main reason for this was very simple, that Heath’s career is not yet over. He still has two movies yet to show in theatres, the latter of which will be a tribute in it’s own right, as three other well known actors will attempt to portray Heath in their own way. Besides the fact that, yes, they don’t usually do separate segments for actors who are gone, I believe it would still have to wait till the next year.

    Whether or not he still deserves a special segment is still in the air, but I do believe his circumstances are quite different in this case, and to say he doesn’t deserve SOMETHING would be pretty naive.

    Oh, and I think Kristina in comment 250 needs to stop wasting valuable oxygen.

  16. Wow. I didn’t know cinematographer Freddie Fields passed on.

    I noted they didn’t fit in Brad Renfro…and since the memorium only covers to Jan.31st, I guess Rooy Schieder will be in next year.

    In Memorium…the only montage worth watching.

  17. I may not have cared for the song, but I didn’t like the mike getting cut off for Marketa. Fuck the goddam mike, clean up that fucking water spill. Travolta almost landed on his ass.

    Not that would be a bad thing…but stil..damn

  18. Thank god, the songs are over. Now let’s get… what’s left now?… Actor, Supporting, Picture, Screenplay… and sorry about the 200 thing, Im just very tired.

  19. Why do they announce a big category like Best Actress while they are in the midst of still passing out minor awards? Makes the women look minor as well? I remember when they did actress, actor, director, and picture in that order at the very end of the damn show. Now, they just toss it all over. They wouldn’t dare hand out best actor right at the top of the show, so stop disrespecting the goddamn actresses!

  20. Alright, commercial break. LEt’s get the next one up. No, Kip, my screen is cropped as well. I couldn’t tell what some of the movies are when they were rolling out the best pictures over the years montage.

  21. Thank you so much for Page losing! Yes! There is a God! It’s SO easy to play teenage angst she shouldn’t have even been nominated! Bah! That said, I was pulling for Cate.

  22. “if Transformers hadn’t been such a shitty movie…” At last someone who spells it out! The Academy has my support for sidelining that pile of directorial lobotomy – as if anyone ared ;-) Even though the effects were quite spectacular, indeed, but that film does just not deserve any awards. Bad enough it made that much money.

  23. The second worst dress of the evening not only goes to winner Tilda Swenton, but its clearly an homage to co-star George Clooney in Batman & Robin. Thanks for the reminder. Can’t she at least say ‘George…you were awesome if From Dusk Til Dawn!’

  24. How in the world did Golden Compass beat Transformers

    Other than that’ I’m glad La Vie En Rose won for makeup. Tells me someone other than myself has heard of the film.

    One thing I’m pised about…the clock is being eaten alive by the 80 yrs clips.

  25. God Damnit! why did my appendix have to be removed on Monday and keep me from going to see No Country For Old Men. Congrats Javier I can’t wait for that three way you get to have in Woody Allen’s new film with Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.

  26. Hey was Joe Pesci even at the Oscars when he won for Goodfellas? I know there’s a great story from when he was making My Cousin Vinny they were filming a scene where he’s sleeping in jail and on a take the camera pans over to him sleeping and he has the Oscar in his hands up against his face.

  27. I’m going to try following along the live broadcast at oscar.com, depending on the quality. I’m not sure if I want the show to be good or bad, since bad means better rants.
