Re: Put on your dress, cool the Champagne... it is Oscar night!
i haven't really seen any of these properly (all the way through) except "Django Unchained" and "Skyfall" so i have not much to relate to in all of this.Aomame wrote:Uhh, so what is your pick on the best actress, best movie and so on?
i've been mainly watching old pre '63 stuff. i accidently downloaded several episodes of "kleiner roter tractor" which seemed quite well done!
oh and watching some old old twilight zone eps.

Kleiner roter Traktor? I just had to look that up - I have never seen it.
I missed the last part, but as I was only seeing the livestream from ABC where the happening was discussed but not fully shown, it was not too much fun. Maybe next year!

Re: Put on your dress, cool the Champagne... it is Oscar night!
After spending two long days watching all nine best movie nominees, I was excited to watch the Acadamy awards. Also excited that my favorite movie won!

Re: Put on your dress, cool the Champagne... it is Oscar night!
I went to an Oscar party one year. I found a prom dress at Goodwill. Maybe I will put it on when I rent a movie and pretend I am at the premeer. Have my husband and kids yell and take pictures as I walk down the carpet to the couch.

I had dvr'd the awards to watch later. I just finish them a little bit ago. From the way people were talking I thought Seth had done and awful job but I thought he did great. Had me and the fiance laughing out loud several times plus I loved all the musical numbers. Most of pics were right except for best movie. I thought Lincoln would win that. I knew Daniel Day Lewis would win best actor but I was hoping that either Hugh Jackman or Bradley Cooper would win.

Re: Put on your dress, cool the Champagne... it is Oscar night!
Next year, I will send out an invitation a couple of days before, and than we can put on all our dresses and celebrate a remote Oscar's party (incl. guessing who is going to win - the best guesser wins a price and has to give an acceptance speak via skype). (I skipped the dress this year but did wear one a couple of years earlier - and my husband mad fun of me
