[PatsGirl]

Oh, now that I'm on a roll, I forgot Wall-E Worst kids' movie I've seen in years, had to leave before it was over.

We rented it and it bored me. I got lost and just kind of ignored it.

 

[Zip-A-Dee-Lady]

I'll be watching for 'the boy from oz'.
aka Hugh.

I didn't realize people got so excited about the Oscars. I don't really watch any celebrity award shows. I do like to see what everyone wore though.

 

[FINFAN]

I too, am excited mostly for HJ....he can sing and dance, I am hoping they incorporate a little of that into tonight. While commediennes are fun as Host's, I am very happy that another style actor will be enjoyed tonight.
I wishtoo, the Gran Torino and Dark Knight were on the list, but oh well, it's lighthearted fun.

Glad to see that others felt the same as me. It was horrible. I feel asleep in the theater. Thank goodness we waited for the cheap theater.

Now granted I saw WALL*E last month but I loved it.

I was prepared to hate it and could not believe that I liked it.

 

[Philadisney]

I'll watch with ya!

Great! This will be way more fun than sitting here watching it with my cat. She's not all that interested.

Aw I loved Wall-E. Just yesterday I bought some Wall-E jibbitz to put on my crocs for my next trip to WDW. Yes, I'm in my late 20's

Does anyone know if the red carpet broadcast before the Oscars is live or not?

 

[LuvCuteBoys]

Yes, it is.

 

[chisnpeke]

Does anyone know if the red carpet broadcast before the Oscars is live or not?

Yep it's live.

 

[1001 Ghosts]

I'm hoping they get in their seats in time!

 

[Planogirl]

I plan to watch. I like Benjamin Button but I don't expect it to win anything. DS is all about the Wrestler and maybe Mickey Rourke has a shot. I wish that the Dark Knight would have been nominated for best movie though.

Goodness, I'm rambling.

 

[Philadisney]

I hope they do something funny like last year when Will Ferrell & Jack Black sang that song together about people who give boring acceptance speeches

 

[Dan Murphy]

Not even regular excited.

 

[1001 Ghosts]

If you ramble on too long, the orchestra will start playing!

 

[Philagoofy]

I was watching the red carpet thing cause I like to see the dresses. Joey Fatone & Rinna (sp?) interviewed Mickey Rooney (yes he's still around & 88 years old) & his wife. Just after that, the other host whose name I don't know is talking with Forest Whitaker's wife & he says "Mickey Rourke, what a Hollywood legend, wonderful actor" & on & on.

Ok, so Mickey Rourke hasn't aged well, they have the same first name, both last names begin with R, even the same number of letters but still...

 

[Pooh Girl 71]

Well either the opening number was awesome or I am really high on sinus meds......either way, I thought it was hysterical.

I thought Wall E was horrible! I bought the stupid DVD too.

 

[Stacerita]

I thought Hugh Jackman's opening was great. I haven't seen a good one in quite a while. No one can top Billy Crystal though.
