Hurt Locker producer Nicolas Chartier, who was banned from the Oscars ceremony for “aggressive campaigning” — he emailed Academy voters and urged them to vote for his tiny indie flick rather than the “$500M film” James Cameron made — watched the ceremony at a small party in a tent in Malibu. When his film won, he gave a long, long heavily accented speech. You can watch it above.
I do wish that all award winners were given a little more time to accept their awards. Nothing pains me more than seeing, like, three dudes win for best sound mixing, and two of them get to thank their wives and children and the directors and producers and then the other one is just left standing there, his crowning life achievement cut short, while the band plays him off. I was especially annoyed last night when the rich and famous people got up on stage and helped the other rich and famous people — aka Best Actor and Best Actress nominees — masturbate for half an hour. WTF did we need to do that for? The poor sound mixer guys could have all thanked their wives like 800 times in the space it took for yet another person to tell Meryl Streep that she’s brilliant. Even Meryl Streep was annoyed, I think.
I love you more than rainbows, you guys.
I am so glad that you are taking “I love you more than rainbows” and running with it. I was also considering doing the same thing.
“I was especially annoyed last night when the rich and famous people got up on stage and helped the other rich and famous people — aka Best Actor and Best Actress nominees — masturbate for half an hour”—exactly. The Oscars ceremony is a five hour long mutual wank session. Like these people need their egos stroked more.
I was seriously pissed off by that strokefest best actor and actress crap. I wanted to see clips of the performers in their roles-not some other actor trying to be adoring/sentimental/serious/funny about the nominee. Some of those speeches were touching, some were stupid. Not fair to the nominees-what if your designated person is an asshole who is just up there to highlight themselves? It was all over the map. And I am not even gonna discuss the interpretive dance snooze.
You all suck
