February 26, 200719 yr Gene Honda is the P.A. announcer for the Oscars! I'm not sure if he has ever done that before. Right after the opening video I heard, "Please welcome your host... Ellen Degeneres".
February 26, 200719 yr Author Ok, i might need to correct this. I think it's actually famous movie trailer voiceover guy Dan Lafontaine. If it IS Dan Lafontaine, he's channeling Gene Honda. I demand a.... "number 14... Paul Konerko!" before the Oscars are over.
February 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 02:30 AM) number thirty five....fraaaaaaaaaaank thomas. I liked his older Thomas call before he started extending his first name in that low tone. Edited February 26, 200719 yr by Buehrle>Wood
February 26, 200719 yr I don't have the Oscars on, but you are probably wrong seeing as how Gene Honda wasn't done with the Blackhawks game til about 4:30.
February 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 08:36 PM) If Scorsese doesn't win, I riot! Wouldn't be the Oscars if he didn't get screwed.
February 26, 200719 yr I'm surprised Eddie Murphy didn't win Best Supporting Actor for Dreamgirls. Must publications I came across predicted he'd win.
February 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 09:08 PM) Wouldn't be the Oscars if he didn't get screwed. Should be receiving #4 tonight
February 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 09:08 PM) Wouldn't be the Oscars if he didn't get screwed. Now...if Little Miss Sunshine gets best picture I'll riot. Turn on the morning news if LMS wins. Edited February 26, 200719 yr by BobDylan

The guy sounds a lot like Gene Honda, but I'm not certain that it's him...and I can't watch this crap anymore.
February 26, 200719 yr This show is moving at a snails pace AND SUCKS! Why couldn't Steve Martin host again?

According to Comcast it should go until 10:30, but considering 5-6 nominations remain, it shouldn't be finished later than 11:30. Although I do agree it sucks.

February 26, 200719 yr HA, nice job Dreamgirls. Three nominations out of five for the best-stong category...and you lose.

February 26, 200719 yr that performance was terrible. Three singers trying to sing way too many notes. Plus i thought dream girls was gonna have some funky motown songs not gospel songs.
February 26, 200719 yr 1. I like Ellen, I guess, but I agree, where is Steve? 2. I think how little Ellen is on screen is why there is no Steve. 3. I don't "get" Al Gore. Am I the only person to feel like he is constantly acting? 4. Too many film clip thingys. 5. The iimpressionistic dancers are REAL annoying. 6. Etheridge used a TON of backing tracks for her "live" performance. 7. Nice to see Eastwood so well prepared to deliver his friend Ennio with a lifetime achievment award. 8. I didn't know that it was really Will Smiths kid in that movie with him. Oddly, that makes me want to throw the f**k up.
February 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 10:52 PM) i liked ellen, and those dancers were awesome. Eh, I've never liked that type of dance stuff. They might be swell and all, I just don't like it. I thought Devil Wears Prada was supposed to suck BIG eggs.
February 26, 200719 yr Helen Mirren wins best actress. It seems a lot of actors/actress' are getting awards for playing someone who is/was real. I'd rather see more original performances to start winning. Philip Seymour Hoffman had to win. Jamie Fox did a good impression on Ray Charles. We have seen his other work and he isn't really that talented as an actor. I would be ok with lesser known portrayals of real people such as Theron in Monster.
