The Dude Abides :thumbsup:

"Academy Award-winner Jeff Bridges" -- I'd say that title is long overdue.

 

[Kira's Mom]

The Dude abides! Bridges wins!

No surprise there, again.

QFT- heh, I've been saying a lot tonight- nice standing ovation!

 

[Data Holmes]

Standing O. He's earned it.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

Alright, The Dude won one!

Colin Firth has been sadly underused throughout his career (Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones aside). Hopefully, his Oscar nomination will bring him more and more good stuff.

There was a story about him on Australian 60 minutes last night. Quite interesting to find more about him

And The Dude wins!!!

 

[Skywalker]

And Jeff Bridges wins. No surprise, and congrats to him.

So in a Martin and Baldwin comedy team which of them is the "straight man."

Neil Patrick Harris.

Heyoooooo!

 

[Mr. Adventure]

The Dude abides.

He seems to become moreso each year.

 

[Trekker4747]

He's just got this "thing" about him that makes you think he's stoned off his ass.

Avatar was more of a crowd-pleaser and had the best FX ever but District 9 had a better story and a better movie.

I was quite impressed with how they blended the FX into the real world in D9, especially for the budget.

Agreed.

That FX looked like it cost a lot more than the $30 million dollar budget. The scenary was great.

pretty much the only reason Im watching this year was to root for D9. Knew it wont win anything but whatever. I liked seeing Sharlto in the audience. I think he deserved a nom. There should be a "breakout" performance category.

oh look Jeff won...

 

[DarthPipes]

Jeff Bridges...long overdue.

The man is a bit of an oddball.

I have to admit, I almost burst out laughing when he yelled at that scientist in Iron Man. He was chewing scenary like crazy in that one.

 

[Aragorn]

So will the next Tron Legacy commercials say "Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges... Tron Legacy!"

 

[CaptainCanada]

He's got 40 years' worth of people to thank.

So... we've thrown the time-limit thing out the window then, eh? Academy?

 

[Samurai8472]

Beau Bridges hasn't won yet has he?

Beau Bridges hasn't won yet has he?

Nope.
