Did you see The Dark Knight or The Wrestler (both of which I'd say were better)? I feel the exact same way. This would of been a perfect year to recognize the Superhero movies of the world. At least the good ones.

CHRIS JERICHO JUST JUMPED MICKEY ROURKE!!!! MY GAWD IN HEAVEN!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) Sophia Loren looks like the f***ing crypt keeper. Just joking around. No sweat. I know you don't have a penis.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) I have a penis...so, no. I'm not debating if Hathaway was good in it, I just have never pictured her as being able to pull something like that off.

Anyone see "Rachel Getting Married"?

QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:14 PM) I'm going to make a movie about the Holocaust with an all-Indian cast and music by Randy Newman. I'll be the the last person to ever win an Oscar as the Oscar will be renamed after me for all following years to come Randy Newman has only won once. Movie about the Holocaust with a score by John Williams starring Meryl Streep.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:14 PM) Winslet, Penn, and Slumdog. It's funny to see Penn there. Doesn't he usually boycott the Oscars, thinking it isn't a competition?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) You think? Ha...that is a surprise. I'm really glad I already saw this movie. If I were to see this ceremony before having seen the movie, I'd be led to believe it's one of the greatest movies ever made. I'd be extremely disappointed after then seeing it. This happens pretty much every year except for a few occasions, like when "Shakespeare in Love" won for "Saving Private Ryan." I liked Slumdog so am fine if it wins.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:08 PM) I never watch the Grammy's. Joe C, you mean? Yes. That is how much I cared.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) Oh, get ready for the tribute part. Half of the people won't clap for the vast majority, as though those people didn't matter, but will go nuts for about three actors. Remember the one at The Grammy's a few years ago that ended with Little Joe. Kid Rock was on the stage all emotional. That was dumb.

I usually go "That guy died?" at least 5 times a year during these.

I wanted a 2nd "Mr. Roboto".

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:52 PM) Brian, Slumdog is the HHH/Cena of this ceremony. I'm just going to call it now. Slumdog Millionaire, the movie itself, will win both Best Actor and Best Actress. The Dark Knight is the Christian of the ceremony? The Wrestler is Jeff Hardy? I like this game.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) I heard it was because he was releasing the song on another album which made it ineligible. ghey

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:00 PM) cant wait...ive been watching on my own time on abc.com...now that im caught up it sucks having to wait to see the next one...the whole time i was watching on my own i thought to myself...man this would suck to have to wait a week to find out what happens lol I felt the same way when watching Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD to catch up. Than during Season 3, had to wait a week everytime. Killed me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:43 PM) I just believe that Slumdog and Gran Torino were better, subjective opinion, there's no way to persuasively objectivy one over the other. It's like arguing that Crede was better than Ventura. Most "younger" fans might believe that, older White Sox fans would laugh or scoff at the notion. The best thing about movies is that everyone has a different feeling on every movie. Like music, sports teams, everything. We all know Christian Bale is a legit great actor, Milkman and others are wrong when they dispute it.

I just noticed that Springsteen's song he made for "The Wrestler" wasn't nominated. WTF?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) I'm going to beat it into the ground, but Frost/Nixon was way better. I'm gonna go see Frost/Nixon on Wednesday now. It better be as good as you say or you owe me $7.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) It's starting to actually piss me off. There is no way in Hell it doesn't win Best Picture. And if there's one more musical number, I might turn this off. Considering they haven't given away best original song, I'd have the remote handy. I'd be more pissed about Slumdog winning things if The Wrestler and The Dark Knight were nominated for Best Picture.

I can see why Slumdog could win for best editing. Glad Benjamin Button did not win.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) Well this statement is impossible to prove false. People have been calling for him to win at the Oscars since literally the mere hours after he died, so to say it had no influence on him winning at all is probably false. I've seen video of him promoting some other movie and talking about The Dark Knight and asked about the hype of the job he did. Some people were talking about it while filming.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:16 PM) Bowling For Columbine, easy. Was great. No question, but Hoop Dreams was extraordinary. It showed me that documentaries weren't just educational and dull.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:03 PM) Glad to see she's not a huge f***ing b****. I saw a picture of her fiance last week when she broke it off. She is definitely out of his league. I need to see a picture of her in this dress people are talking about. Heath's sister is hot.
