It's a long drive and then an expensive ticket. I'm better off in my woman cave with DVDs. When James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosted the Oscars it was pretty sad. I've heard them called the worst hosts ever, but I thought that honor went to David Letterman.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-32190980259762504772014-02-27T15:32:45.053-05:002014-02-27T15:32:45.053-05:00I DVR the awards, too.

I think it was the Grammies, which I don't watch anymore. Hugh Jackman also is an excellent Oscar host.

O...Olympic fever here, but just the actual events.<br /><br />Oscar? Who is he? The last movie I saw at the theater was the Lego Movie and the one before that? The Muppet Movie. My husband will watch the whole thing with a look of longing on his face...for a wife who wants to catch a movie at least once a week (or can stay awake to watch one at home)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294308714313220666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-21846181446566622672014-02-27T07:05:08.343-05:002014-02-27T07:05:08.343-05:00Answers: No and No. I dropped off the cable landsc...Answers: No and No. I dropped off the cable landscape a couple of years ago when money was tight and haven't looked back. I kind of missed seeing curling (don't know why, it's beautifully hypnotizing and I love it.), but will in no way miss award shows. The best bits are put online in quick, digestible chunks, and quite frankly, why should I care about an ass-kiss festival that has nothing to do with objective reality? Shakespeare in Love won best picture. Have you watched that lately? No, of course you haven't because it's Shakespeare in Love and not worth revisiting. It's also why I don't watch ice skating in the Olympics because I hate fake competitions that rely on the subjectivity of the judges to determine the winner.

He WON the first gold.<br /><br />I don't know much about Jared, but he seems very intense.<br />Obviously Star Trek was not nominated for best film.<br /><br />I used to be comfortable seeing movies by myself in Chicagoland, but I feel like a big loser doing it in a small town where you always run into people you know. I prefer to see movies by myself in the same spot. Back row, by an aisle. I need too start doing that again. Really, why is it necessary to sit right next to someone when your not supposed to talk anyway.<br /><br />Ellen always does a good job. These awards people are finally figuring out who can host these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-4973929627120386722014-02-27T01:52:43.046-05:002014-02-27T01:52:43.046-05:00Didn't watch any of the Olympics.

But whenever I did watch any of the winter Olympics years ago I watched the figure skating.<br />I record the Academy Awards so that I can FF through anything I don't want to watch (which is a lot so it makes them so much shorter), so I can see the film clips, and because I like Ellen. I have only been able to see Captain Phillips so I have no clue who to vote for. I have to wait for the movies to come out on Netflix so I usually haven't seen what's nominated, anyways.

Since when was a subscription necessary to watch a world wide sports event? Didn't that used to fall under public television? Anyhow, then I really don't care about Hollywood and their pretentious awards. Is that sad? I don't know. When the only people voting are people who man the movies and whose values are so far removed from my own...well it's been a long time since I watched. Sorry, I must be in a mood today. It's probably that darn book I just finished that made me SO angry. <br /><br />Communal toilets... *shudders*Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-36028203885649260792014-02-26T22:11:28.069-05:002014-02-26T22:11:28.069-05:00I'll try to remember to find Sage.

Billy Crystal is the best. It's Ellen DeGeneres this year. I hope she does well. I'm rooting for Leonardo because I think he's come so far as an actor, but Bradley is so darn cute and a very good actor. I'm not rooting for Jonah, although I like him, because I want Jared Leto to win best supporting actor.
