All of them.

I don't watch it so I don't really care. I might have to make an exception though because I really like Shirley Bassey and I heard she was going to perform as part of a tribute to Bond. I would have a hard time sitting through it so maybe I will catch her performance on You Tube later.

None.

The Oscars are the best. You're all just pressed you'll never win one.

I don't think getting rid of any of them are necessary to make the show shorter. It just needs to get rid of the long speeches. They won an Oscar, not the Nobel peace prize, so why do they need to act like it? Some of the other extra crap in between awards is not necessary either.

Just saw Argo and Lincoln.

Hope they win best picture and best actor respectively.

I think they should only show the judges, and each had to give a damning critique of why they dismissed all the other nominated films. There should be a winner and a runner up, but these can never be made public.

That'll set the cat amongst the pigeons.

I would remove every single category.

pretty much, man.

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible

I like George Clooney when he's doing comedy. But when he's doing drama I am bored.

Mel Gibson

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible

I can't believe some people don't like Michelle Pfeiffer, her performance in Age of Innocence opposite Daniel Day Lewis and Winona Ryder was PHENOMENAL!

Same goes for Sally Field--Steel Magnolias along with her performance as Mary Todd Lincoln was amazing!

This all subjective I suppose. People like who they like, and some people don't like certain people. As for me...I cannot stand to sit through another Tyler Perry movie, they were good in the beginning, and I enoyed the "homey" feelings of his plays, but he's going too far with this Madea franchise. I mean "Madea Gets a Job"...? C'mon, time to through down the wig and hang up the dress, man.

^ What do you mean? I'm not seeing that many of these duds are Jewish. Please explain yourself.

I have a feeling pat means they "bow down" or "pay lipservice" to the correct Jewish "gods". And I also have a feeling you already knew that. I'm just surprised that a man so vehemently against the PC brigade and the homosexual thought police feels the need to obfiscate his certainly-well-documented claim. Perhaps the reach is farther and heavier than even he claims it is.

Bradley Cooper is awful compared to what he is portrayed to be by media and fans. Not Oscar-worthy.

All three stars for Twilight are awful actors.

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible

do you know what I hate about the Oscars is that all the movies are leaked by the studios.

and then they pretend we are stealing from them

what a bunch of fucktards they are.

Thanks for the heads-up, Lex. I put that Canadian ranter on my Ignore List… and yes I stand by what I said in post #9.

I never watch it. I only care about the final results, so yeah.

I always thought they were behind it. The fact that I think 90% of the stuff they produce lately is complete garbage, leaking it out if the only way to get people to watch the shit.

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible

Yeah, he's a bit more tolerable in comedic roles. Mostly because he can be a bit funny and witty IRL and since he just essentially plays himself most of the time, I can see why comedy comes more naturally to him. lol

One Fine Day with Michelle Pfeiffer is my favorite movie with him.
