Who'll be watching The Oscars tonight?

[size=large]Anyone watching the Oscars tonight? I always loved watching them but then the Almighty Sky took them and put them on a the Movie Channels which are subscription only. I stopped subscribing to that some years ago when I realised I watched about one movie per month! However, like the football, it's a bit much (I think) that this TV giant is taking over all these special events.

HOWEVER I have found an alternative! It's a site called LiveStream (that's a link) and will be showing the Oscars live from beginning to end! Of course, for the UK it doesn't start until about 11pm or later and runs through until about 5am! So I shall be pulling an all nighter!

If Colin Firth and "The King's Speech" don't sweep the boards, I shall be most annoyed!

sorry daisee, im with armandii on this one... I cant think of anything worse than overpaid actor(esses) patting each other on the back... :th_scifD36:

I would much prefer to watch such as...

Example of a worthy awards show

People who deserve recognition.

No offense though... I can clearly see you enjoy the oscars, so hope you catch your internet stream, and have a good night.

 

[size=large]Well, I like seeing our country getting some plaudits. And "The King's Speech" is a great film. Plus I like Colin Firth - who could forget him coming out of the pond in "Pride and Prejudice"?!

But it was a waste of time anyway - they only showed the red carpet shenanigans, they were a big yawn - all those expensive designer dresses, it was more like a cat walk at a fashion show. Then, just as it was time to start the show - it cut off! :DOH: So much for my all nighter!

But Colin Firth won, and the film won! Good old Britain! [/size]

Glad the award went to your favourite!

 

You mean this scene Daisees?

Glad to hear that Colin got one at long last,well deserved

 

Also a bit too 'gushy' for me especially the actesses preening themselves so wouldn't wait up to watch it - however I see from Sky news this morning that Christian Bale got best support which I think he deserves as he has been good in lots of films from an early age ... oh! thanks for the small vid of Darcy emerging from the lake

I'll back Britain - but I just can't be bothered with the cult of the celebrity.
The films - or whatever - might be excellent, but those Award ceremonies I find excrutiatingly boring and nauseating.
Sorry Daisees. It's not for me, but I'm sorry you were disappointed if you were looking forward to it.

 

I am afraid I am with Alice and the others - I wish them well, but I actually prefer to see films or series with actors I have never heard of. Everytime I see someone famous - unless they are very well made up, I keep thinking thats so and so from such and such series.

I saw 'The bridges of Madison County' with an aged western gunslinger trying to pretend he was a modern romantic. It really spoilt the film.

 

I watched James bond on ITV the other night (Tomorrow Never Dies). It stars Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer, both who starred in a sitcom on UK television. Think it was called 'As time goes by', but I may be wrong.

Looked very odd with them in different character.

 

[size=large]oooh yes, Kandy! *goes weak at the knees* Wasn't he gorgeous in that? But do you know, that was shot in 1955? So long ago.[/size]

 

Good Luck to everyone involved but it's not my thing.
