I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I've seen Hurt Locker, Star Trek, Julie&Julia, and Harry Potter, but that was about it for nominated movies.

Put me down for another one who really didn't like the best actor nominee presentations. Noms should be about the performance in that particular film, at least ostensibly if not practically, and having other people talk about what a great person the nominee is off screen has nothing to do with their performance in the film.

Loved the LXD performance! Knew I saw Russell and was hoping to spot Legacy, but I missed him if he was there. It was nice to see Harry Shrum featured (he's on Glee, as well as co-choreographed the number LXD did for SYTYCD).

I like listening to him get his geek on because I suspect his brain works in similar ways to mine.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can't stand him either, Trudy. He's just so damned smug and full of himself.

Yeah,I mean I know I went to art school but is "out of sequence" REALLY that amazing? You'd think he invented it. I think he thinks he invented it.

I liked Pulp Fiction. It was entertaining. The performances were really good. It looked neat. It did not rock my world or make me see explosive violence in a whole new way.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I'm pretty sure that was Kayla spotlighted in the Up section.

I also saw Russell, Kathryn and I think maybe Jacob? (that might have been wishful thinking on my part though)

LOVE Sandra Bullock!

And I'm seriously starting to hate Kristen Stewart. Seriously, does she ever smile?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think the opening sequence in Reservoir Dogs got more people to tip so I give QT a lot of leeway. I do love it when he geeks out.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OK, that epic Handsome Men sketch on Kimmel was hilar.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

As I said on FB, I can spot Travis Wall's fauxhawk from 50 paces. Bestest SYTYCD contestant evah, IMHO.

I had seen Up, District 9, Coraline, and Star Trek.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oscar Movies I have seen:

Up in the Air, Julie & Julia, Star Trek, District 9, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, The Cove

Usually I see more Best Picture nominees than I have, but there are a couple of BP noms that I have no intention of seeing anytime soon.

At the 2010 Oscars, focus was brought on actress Helen Mirren's tattoo -- a tiny symbol on her left thumb. Last month, Mirren told Good Morning America (via PEOPLE) that it happened a "very, very long time ago" when she was "very, very drunk." The 64-year-old actress explained that the symbol was inked by an Indian artist while she was on the road in Minnesota touring with a play. "I decided to get a tattoo because it was the most shocking thing I could think of doing... Now I'm utterly disgusted and shocked because it's become completely mainstream, which is unacceptable to me," she said.
