I'm not going to lie, the auto-tune thing sort of worked for me.

Shut up Ocra.

Perhaps I should just plan on muting the TV during the memoriam instead of listening to Celine Dion murder "Smile."

wait, what? They threw out the RIP montages, or are they still going to show them?

Chicken shits.

Told y'all

They're still doing the memorial tribute, just not the regular montages (like last year's horror tribute).

oh good. I wanted to see the 2 seconds of Easy Rider footage to sum up Dennis Hopper's life.

Oh come on, I think people have come to vastly overrate both Exit Through the Gift Shop and its supposed importance.

This awards shows are usually bad, but this year takes the cake. Between the horrible hosting job, the stupid, forced banter, the ADD camera shots and the awful auto-tune montage, this one has been unwatchable. The producers should learn that they need to bring actual comedians to make the awards entertaining.

What importance? I personally prefer Restrepo. I'm just saying they didn't want to risk anything interesting.

Only IF they could of forced Godard to the Oscars and gave him the award tonight instead of last fall......

"All right, we give up. Here's Billy Crystal."

Picturing Godard blowing off Franco's film school fanboyishness and trying to pick up Anne Hathaway by insulting her

They who?

The voters. They want to stay prestigious.

"We really give up. Here's Bob Hope."

It was a Superbowl commercial if that helps any.

And I said the same thing AOX wrote when I first saw it there.

lol, I actually said something along those lines then too.

I was saddened when Bob Hope died this year, and all of your disrespect aside, I think it is nice that the Academy is honoring him.

The same way, say, a vacuum commercial that purchased the rights to his image might

I don't think that's very shocking. It's far easier to give an award to a documentary with an easy political topic that will make voters feel good about themselves than a documentary about a graffiti artist.

Graffiti is about as controversial as marijuana at this point. It's not the 50s anymore guys. Time to stop acting like 'the man' is keeping graffiti down.

They won't even nominate a movie about pot.
