Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This is cute: Backstage at the Oscars.
That's so cute I barely believe it.
Aurelia, I think if I thought the Oscars were merit-based I'd pay more attention to the winners and not to the spectacle. For me it's an opportunity to ooh and ahh at fashion (a beloved pasttime of mine) and to hope against hope that my mind-control rays are finally totally debugged.
Who got dumped the first week of TAR? I missed the end.
The first dumpees were the gay friends from Boston.

In light of that, I have a longer-term prediction: The next time Paul Giamatti has a decent role in a movie that's at least reasonably well-received and not a complete flop, financially, he'll win best supporting actor.
I never liked Rachel before The Constant Gardener. She was merely tolerable in the Mummy movies. I think she rocks now.
I thought she was really good in Enemy at the Gates. That movie sold me on her. The Mummy(ies) ... blah.

Do you think it has to be reasonably soon? Have his not-wins been high-profile enough to span more than, say, three years?
Also, when will Don Cheadle get his we-do-like-you Oscar, dammit?

Never saw that. No idea why no...wait, right, war movie.
Don should have been up for Crash, IMO.

I realize awards are never so pure (even on much smaller scale than the Oscars).

That's cool. That seems to be the case for the majority. I'm just less cranky when I skip that part.

Didn't know you had a thing about war movies, fair enough. The story is really boiled down to a very small scale, but there are plenty of war movie elements. Rachel Weisz pretty much steals the show from Joseph Fiennes and Ed Harris whenever she is on screen.

Hmm. I dunno. Three feels like the limit.

They gave out all the black-people Oscars already, sorry.
