2012 Academy Awards show

[CaptainCanada]

First bleep of the evening.

I hate when they hound the little people off the stage just so they can have unfunny jokes (and speaking of Chris Rock!).

 

[CaptainCanada]

Okay, that actually was kinda funny. I apologize, Chris Rock.

And Rango wins. Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean is an all-time favourite of mine, so I'm very happy for him.

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Awesome! Rango won!

 

[Dream]

YES! RANGO!!!!!!!

 

[DarthPipes]

Leave to Chris Rock to do the one funny thing at the Oscars so far.

I agree with Norm MacDonald...does anyone know Eddie Murphy's phone number?

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Good for Rango, it was certainly not a cookie cutter movie.

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Ok. I gotta see brave. Looks amazing!

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

LOL! go Billy!

 

[CaptainCanada]

VFX: History tells us that Hugo should win this, but can Planet of the Apes defy the odds?

God, what is Emma Stone wearing?

Edit: And an unexpected comeback to Superbad.

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Damn Emma Stone is Tall! Id run up there no matter what!

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Yep. Every movie is using effects that wouldn't even have been accepted by the Academy 30 years ago. They said it was cheating. My how far we have come.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I'd like to catch Hugo on video.

Real Steel did a pretty good job with the robots even if it wasn't over-the-top. I don't remember them ever looking "off".

 

[CaptainCanada]

Nope, it can't. The Best Picture/VFX stat continues!

 

[DarthPipes]

Hugo? Give me a break.

You can't give Rise of the Planet of the Apes an award for anything, can you?

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Are they just strumming the guitar during the presenters? Or is it just me?

 

[Dream]

Damn! HUGO wins for Visual Effects. I was rooting for Rise of the Planet of the Apes!

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Hugo man! Sorry. Had to do the pun.

 

[DarthPipes]

Damn Emma Stone is Tall! Id run up there no matter what!

I think Ben Stiller is just small.

 

[Samurai8472]

Hugo failed at the box office

Since it's a Scorcese movie they're entitled to give it all the awards.

 

[Daneel]

Hugo won for Best Visual Effects? Hm... I like Hugo a lot, but I was really hoping Rise of the Planet of the Apes would get that one.
