    I saw the oscars on during my lunch break at work.

    I was too busy listening to music on my partially busted MP3 player though.

    Some do, cant say I really do, but since it airs in the middle of the night Where I live (SWEDEN) and I couldnt sleep, I saw it :D Jon Stewart was funny except his bad jokes about piracy.

    Well, I feel that a few of those winners might have been good, but they overlooked one movie that I think shouldve won at least one award, considering it was nominated for over 5 areas. That movie? Munich. One of of the best directors (Steven Spillsberg), kickass storyline, and a good historical content to boot.

    I didnt really like Crash either, it was a pretty boring movie....and Tiger your right, Munich should have one something, very good movie, and probably the best director around...John Stewart was pretty funny in the beginning.

    Biggest suprise, was 3-6 Mafia winning for best original score or whatever it was..

    The Oscars are pathetic...

    2 movies, equally as good as one another and yet...

    theres a winner?????

    Its bullsh!t.. the Oscars now are purely for fashion designers trying to make a name for themselves...

    Seriously.. the Oscars p!ss me off.. especially when movies that should win by miles don't even get nominated..

    Do u know how many AWESOME low budget, art-house films there are out there that don't even get glanced at, not to mention how much talented directors get ripped off in the process



    L-A-M-E!
