Do the Oscars matter?

[Weevil]

The fact that Denzel Washington has never won one of their golden buttplugs is proof enough that Hollywood is chock full of double-talking hypocrites. Yet- some smarmy actress/HO will probably get up and make a speech about civil rights in some third world backwater, and how we're not doing enough to fix the problem tonight, a la that bug-eyed bitch, Susan Sarandon.

So is the fact(As opposed to the mistake you made above) that Denzel has won an Academy Award(and been nominated three other times) proof that Hollywood may be full of double-talking hypocrites who at least check their shit before bitching like a schoolgirl?

You heard me.

i think the oscars are shit! mtv movie awards are better than the oscars (though not by much) i makes me sicking thinking about haley joel osmet winning an oscar at such a young at for sixth sense! now where does he have to go?

Who is this person?

MTV movie awards? Oh yeah, let's let the people who made O-Town famous determine the best in cinema.

And Haley Joel Osment lost to Michael Caine. Who is very old.

Weevil are you counting this year's nomination as the 3rd one?

No, it would be the fourth. Because he was nominated for something before Glory.

I didn't count it as anything yet because the results aren't known.

Blow me, bitch. You heard me.

The underlying point of my post is that blacks get regularly dissed at these phony awards. Surely you should get that.

And Jack Lemmon wasn't even nominated for Glen Garry Glen Ross.

Lemmons performance in that movie was amazing................

Wouldn't your boyfriend get jealous?

Tough to say on something so subjective. If there were a bunch of times where a black actor really should have won I'd agree.

But the Oscars never agree with me. I don't think they get it right 10% of the time. So the white actors who get passed over unfairly (in my subjective view) far outnumber the black actors.

Was there a greater tragedy then Tom Hanks losing to that Italian jackass who has been thrown on the bonfire of fifteen minutes where he belongs?

I don't think Sam jackson getting beat by Martin Landau

Is that all you got? yeesh.

Oh sorry, you were expecting something on the level of wit and originality of "blow me bitch"

You're kidding right? Mr. Washington is one of the most talanted men in Hollywood. He has given over a decade of consistent performances, many of them standout and memorable.

Don't sell Denzel short. If he does'nt win tonight, I pray that he will render more performances that will hopefully change your mind and get him that well-deserved Oscar (even if Oscar's are shallow and unimportant to most).

Well, it's a fine distinction, but still relevant. You see, "blow me bitch" has a certain sting , when used of the blue to denote mild irritation. As an opener, it's quite satisfactory. It also doesn't demean homosexuals the way your comment did.

Also, when you are insulting someone, the general rule is to try and "one-up" them. My comment may have been jr. high, but it was an opener, so that's okay. On the other hand, your reply needed to up the ante, and it fell miserably short. Your job was to outdo me, and you didn't really even equal me. Now if you had delivered the opening insult, I would have had to outdo you. See how it works?

Your standards are slipping. I hope this doesn't become a habit.

A brief commentary on the red carpet debaucle that is happening:

Paltrow's looking a little paltry.

I love the Oscars, mainly because it is amazing that some of these women make more money than I can imagine & they look like shit. Fot God's sake, it is the Oscars, wash your hair & have someone fixt it. I love watching to see who wears what, that is the best part. Hate the Golden Globes, Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe, for goodness sakes, so they have no credibility, as far as I am concerned. I would love to see Denzel Washington win, I think he was amazing in Training Day. I do not want Halle Berry to win, I think she is one of the most over rated actresses in the business. She is beautiful, but IMO, not a great talent & not Oscar material.

If Nicole and Russ win,then yes,they matter.




If they dont win?
The Oscars are a load of codds.

Well . . .

I have to agree with you about the Pelican Brief (I still can't believe that's going to be on his filmography for life!). Some of the movies did suck (I didn't like the peacher's wife either), but in my opinion, it was the movies. Denzel always shines in my book!

He may not deserve it every year, but I hope he wins tonight!

Caprice aint there for her brains,is she?


And jesus fucking christ,someone give Renee Zelwegger a steak and greazy fries before she turns sideways and vanishes.

She looks like a half starved greyhound.

Matter? Matter?

There are very few things in this life that matter, so I do not take life so seriously.

Now I find the Oscars fun! Humans love that competition thing. If men can have pissing competitions, then Hollywood can have their own competition: a pissing competition in another form!
